They'll be my Fallen in our upcoming Crusade/campaign.

Got to play two games of space weirdos and two games of undaunted stalingrad this weekend. Lots of fun.

Took a break from painting 15mm US for ww2. Built two wargames atlantic ogres. Really cool figures.

I began and pretty much finished the four D&D minis just gotta base them and did a bit more work on Anargrin.

He's made a bit more progress since I took these photos. Happy with him so far!

Took some photos of the Rampart Eternal Cathedral.

Cheers,

In preparation for my eventual Battle Report of a game of The Angaran Chronicles: The Skirmish Game (working title, maybe?) Of Anargrin and his team trying to stop the summoning of a Jaroai and it was close and fun. Anargrin’s team failed in stopping it from being summoned. And they almost killed it but they mercs who were hired to stop them saw the Jaroai and as I planned for the scenario turned against it. Despite the odds, the close combat horde passed their WP test to not run away and managed to finish it off under a deluge of pistol fire which definitely was against the odds. I also playtested the mechanic of 'charging' by jumping off an elevated position inspired by the part of Fellowship of the Ring when Aragorn jumps down on two Uruk Hai. That was pretty cool.

Freehanding chapter iconography this evening.

Gathering parts to make some scatter terrain.

Built some new releases for Infinity and Malifaux. Planning on priming them later along with the crew for my Hooch Hauler.

Organized my unpainted terrain to work on soon. I've got two huge painting projects looming overhead that I really want to get and complete first though.

If I have time I'm going to start building my first League of Votann model. Start of my second army. Hells yeah.

I began painting my Blade Champion and I'm enjoying it, each time I've painted my Adeptus Custodes it's been fun. They're just nice minis to paint in my opinion even if I could paint them in a far easier way (Eg: Prime them gold, wash them with Seraphim Sepia or Reikland Flesh Shade, then dry brush sliver, then paint the cloth and other stuff red)

I also high lighted Anargrin's hair and fixed him up a bit more, yeah, here's some photos, I suppose. I frigged up, though. Dumb old me didn't prime his base so the paint chips off pretty easily on the edges, I was hoping that applying varnish would protect it better, but nope! Live and learn, I suppose (HANGING ON THE EDGE OF TOMORROW! Sorry, some may get that reference, I guess lol)

This was a lie, instead I put paints on a palette and got distracted sorting out the club's terrain cupboard. Tonight's work is detailing Space Marines.

Later this afternoon will see my Beasts of Chaos vs <???> (no idea what the other guys bringing).

Then comes the shops orgizational meeting concerning our upcoming 40k Crusade/campaign.

Began an old metal Dark Reaper Exarch.

FLGS for painting - finishing Logan and Green Goblin for MCP.

Fixed up Anargrin's base and went over him and his base again with matt varnish.

Did the base for an old metal Dark Reaper Exarch.

These days I alternated between painting the first squad of two of Artel W not-Fire Dragons, as well as working on a scratch-built building for our Fallout Wasteland Warfare games.

The Fire Dragons are mostly Contrast paints so are somewhat simple, which is nice.

The building (a 3-story apartment building) is mostly completed now, putting some detail work on the outside staircase, and then should be ready to put some mix of paint+glue+sand on it for some light texturing and help seal the foam used on it. Then should be ready to paint!

Priming before the rain starts.

CB

I primed a bunch of models black.

Unfortunately, the 20 models I primed tan were victims of a bad can, are sitting in paint stripper and for me to go to the store for primer tomorrow.

A bit more work on my Blade Champion. Dropped one of his pauldrons on the floor and it disappeared into the aether where fallen miniature parts go to drive you insane like a Lovecraft protagonist in the fruitless bid to find them until the aether spits it back out weeks later for you to find it in a place you missed by the barest margins while you were searching for it (or in the most illogical place possible) I'm thinking of writing a short story about a shmuck like me trying to find a dropped miniature piece one day.

Sorry about the rant lol so I found a sprue of my Custodes Guardians and used a pauldron from that instead. He's quite close to being finished. The big part is his helmetless head which I'm always nervous to get started (I didn't start it today as I was too tired to paint skin as it's always a challenge for me even when mostly awake lol)

Finished building a box of HH MkIV Tactical marines.

Painted US 15mm WW2 rifle company in khaki. Pants are next. Then faces. Then weapons and equipment belts.

More work on my Blade Champion, began painting his face which I'm pretty happy with so far.

Completed my Blade Champion! A mini I really enjoyed painting. I might be a naysayer against GW but when I like what they do, I like what they do and the Custodes minis I've liked a lot so far! Although, I don't know why they decided to put him on a 40mm base which is over kill if you ask me. I was tempted to put him on a smaller base as if I ever get around to playing it'll be more likely One Page Rules than 40k but I decided just in case if I begin playing 40k again I'll put him on a legal base (he's super glued on so should wobble off if I ever want to change the base anyway)











Also begun painting my Spiritseer which is looking nicer than I thought it would in my Dalorsian colour scheme

Practically finished my Spiritseer and began to assemble my 2nd Custodes squad which is a Custodian Guard squad.

Found a place for all my gaming stuff after moving.

Finally began playing my Angaran Chronicles Skirmish game for the Battle Report. Having fun but it's harder than thought it'd be, having to take constant notes and photos is doing my head in a bit lol

I finished playing out the game for the Angaran Chronicles Skirmish game today. It was fun even with constant pausing to write notes and take photos. Just trying to figure out how I'm going to format it and stuff. It might take a while before I get it posted.

Building 1 squad of WE Exalted 8bound & 1 squad if regular 8bound.
I plan to use them as my primary Boarding Action patrol in Our upcoming Crusade/campaign.

Today I 'ave been mostly discovering that my years-old apoxie sculpt does not want to cure.

Typing up the battle report for my Angaran Chronicles: Skirmish game and having fun with it.
