Finished base painting and putting washes on my Shroud Runners (I'm only doing the pilots, planning on doing the Jet Bikes after) and started my favourite aspect of painting, high lighting, pretty happy with how they're looking so far. I'm also working with one of my favourite paints, Warp Stone Glow.

Continued working on the Vyper.

Cheers,

Going through the BattleTech cases & making sure everything* is mounted on hex bases.

Doing some repair work on several of the old metal mechs.


*a few things like the Scorpion simply don't need them.

Built some Scions for my guard

Basing my Dark Angels for Heresy. Then I just need to get some decals for them and they are done done.

Pretty much finished my Shroud Runner pilots (yay). I would've done more, but a sudden onset of a headache stopped that. Ugh, I hope the panadol kicks in soon.

Pretty well finished the Vyper.

Next I have to seal it, then put the canopy into place.

Not too much today, helping my dad clean stuff up. I began to paint the concept jet bike for my Shade Runners. I also finally got around to dotting the "eyes" (eh? Ya get it, ya get it? Sorry lol) of the bare heads of my Rangers, Guardian Defenders, the Shade Runner pilots and the healer of my Corsairs who I'd frigged up the eyes of a while back. It went well, actually, the XS GW paintbrush is very handy for that task.

Set up new configuration for slicer which reduced warping. Good good. Project castle progressing. Too bad next 2 weeks far from printer :(

Finished the Vyper.



Did one color on my latest two pieces of scratch built terrain.

Cheers,

That looks awesome CB! Can't believe how well that very old mini stands up. I've still got one to do as part of the Fast Attack group I'm onto, after my Shroud Runners then Guardian Jetbikes.

Back OT I completed the 1st Shroud Runner bike I used as a test model, and now onto the other two. Base painted them, then did the washes, next is high lights. They're surprisingly quick and easy to paint. Also fixed up the hair a bit of my Hero Forge Attelus Kaltos. Been making units with the One Page Rules creation, as the app is out of date I have to use my maths addled mind to try make them and it hurt my head lol

Cleaning and preparing my Nightmare Edition of Hoffman from Malifaux.

Assembling sylvaneth models and started working on these

Finally cutting new foam trays to hold my Cities of Sigmar/ WHFB Dogs-of-War army.

It's been on the to-do list for literally years.
But while I've got them pulled them out for use in an Escalation League atm.... I figured there's no better time than now to get this done.

Doing some simple terrain-craft tasks with the kids. Painting sand on terrain bases and rolling little clay balls that will be turned into cacti.

Finished my Shroud Runner squad which I have photos of might share them later, not very good photos, mind you. Now I'm onto assembling my Windriders, finished building two out of six. Maybe I'd like to buy another squad (or squadron?) of Shroud Runners to act in cohesion with my two squads of Shining Spears, to have them and the Shroud Runners swing around on each flank while my main force pushes into the centre with a firebase behind as support (with Rangers, Guardian Defenders etc) as a distraction.

Having entered the Kill Team portion of my backlog, the schedule calls for assembling and priming of Octarius terrain.

Finished assembling my Windriders then instead of priming them decided to assemble my Vyper which took me ages to find the sprues for and a few other parts I'd taken off. Like my 1st Wraithlord I have no idea how I managed to get my hands on my Vyper and I looked at the sprues I realised I have no idea what the frig I'm doing or If I even have all the necessary parts lol need an instruction manual if any one knows where I can find one online please tell me. That'd be so cool.

Never mind, found a scanned instruction manual on Reddit. As much as I hate that hellscape of a site it can come in handy sometimes. Here's the photo of my Shade Runners BTdubbs.

Thanks Adrassil.

Back to working on the two scratch built plasma regulars.

Cheers,

CB

Continuing to repack my games room after the carpet was replaced due to water damage from a storm earlier this year. Getting down to odds and ends now.

NP CB!

Uhh, finally got my magnet kit from the Magnet Baron so began magnetising my Autarch from the Eldritch Omens box. Too bad the magnets aren't quite small enough. Small enough for Space Marines, but not for spindly Eldar arms, but I managed to work around that. Already halfway through the smallest magnets, though and really don't want to wait weeks and weeks for more so might order more from Gap games or something.

Did more work on the two gift box plasma regulator terrain.

Cheers,

Priming and prepping bases for a few more nightstalkers.

Magnetizing some bases

Printing a bunch of Mech sheets for tonight's Battletech game.

And while that's printing I'm assembling a Champion mech.
*&%$ No part of this thing lines up nicely, no combo/orientation of parts looks anything but jacked up, & it's all metal with mostly flat attachment pts - wich will need pinning. WTF is this thing supposed to look like?
(yes, I know, Google it)

Painting the two gift box scratch built plasma regulator terrain.

FLGS to assemble MCP, paint Voodoo from MCP and try and finish my magnetized resin terminator weapons for my cataphractii.

Now begins the tedious task of putting all the mech sheets I printed earlier into page protectors....
This'll take awhile.

Thankfully it's a hobby task that should only need to be done once.

Primed my Windriders and would've base coated them, but I couldn't find one of them for most of the day; I managed to find him just before, though. So instead I began a conversion inspired by the Custodes Shield Captain with jetbike from the YT channel Table Top Tactics where he's standing on the base with the jetbike instead of riding on it. Mine is an Autarch lunging off his jetbike to join the foray with his power sword or whatever (he's going to be magnetised both onto the base and his weaponry) I'm using the Autarch with swooping hawk wings body or can use it. I took some photos of what I've done so far and might post them tomorrow. On a larger oblong base, I used cardboard to make debris that rises behind the Autarch (I measured it to make sure it is the size of the base of the regular Skyrunner Autarch so can be measured from if I use it to play a game) Then covered it in astrogranite and astrogranite debris. Very happy with how it looks so far.

Bought a new lightbox and I'm halfway finished painting some chaos slaanesh cultists. It's grindy right now
