Photographed my entry to Dakka's Painting Challenge last night:

That's gorgeous, Tyranid Horde! I'd say it seems likely you'll win to me!

Uhh, back on topic, practically finished my Not-Lelith pwning Not-Lucius diorama. Fixed up Lelith's hair giving it more depth and a few other things, might post photos tomorrow. I also began working on some Chaos Space Marines I've had lying around for ages. With them done, I'll have a ten-man squad. Thinking of beginning work on my Daemon Prince, too so if anyone at my club wants to play a Chaos Army (or "Havoc Brothers"), They can have more options and might be able to fill out a 2,000 point list eventually

Today I haz been mostly..

Loosing at Middle Earth as my Mordor forces managed to blend those of Gondor, but that caused the game to end, which meant they had won on points.. Grrr

then three games of Judge Dredd.

Mistakes were made if I'm honest

Doing research on Marvel Crisis Protocol - how to build teams & the models available.

Played 500 points of Bolt Action and 2 missions of Undaunted: Stalingrad

More work on my Chaos Marines, trying to make them all in line with each other; I've almost finished them (and also began thinking up fluff for them as I worked).

Also, photos of my finished diorama of Not-Lelith pwning Not-Lucius.

Finishing up a Lord Discordant, only minor tidying to do, the banner on his backpack and his base.

Finished a Phobos Lt as well.

Finished a Cultist Squad as well recently.

Cut 20 spears off my Mantic skeleton sprues to convert dwarf ironclad into bulwarkers for my all Mantic KoW dwarf army.

Pretty much finished my Chaos Marine squad so I finally have a ten-man squad of Chaos Marines (or Havoc Brothers for Grimdark Future) I have them, the Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator armour (which is still an amazing mini even though he's like twenty years old now) Fifteen cultists and twelve Traitor Guard finished, so enough to play a small game of Grimdark Future. Their fluff is they capture enemies (especially enemy Marines) and torture them until they break their enemy into joining them and they flay off the flesh of their broken victims and wear their flesh as leather dick towels and make it into belts etc. So one Chaos Marine might be fighting alongside another who has his skinned flesh hanging off his pauldron lol. Haven't thought of a name for them yet. They also paint their armour with the blood of their enemies.

I got a bit stuck on what to do next even though I promised myself to begin painting my daemon prince. But I decided to finish assembling my Morrigan from Dark Siders statue so I might begin painting her and my Samus Aran statue while I'm going through my backlog.

I wanna be in the cavalry.

Jokes aside, i did my 2 squads for my 30k militia army that has some big metal friends to launch a surprise sneaky on mostly enemy bekaies.

have a game of Adeptus Titanicus next weekend so today finishing off, well to the point of game usable, some Questoris knights, one largely done, one has trim on the body done, legs to do and one needing all the trim doing

Finally attached 20 more Skaven Plague Monks to thier bases.
(I assembled the rats the other night at the shop
- but I'd forgotten the pack of bases at home!)

Working on an Eldar Falcon still.

Cheers,

CB

Painted a Crimson Fist flying guy with the autocannon. Cant remember for the life of me what the unit is actually called.

Over the past few days, I've been organising and cleaning up my hobby room. It's much more tidy now, and my paint pots are in a drawer rather than dominating my desktop. I also did some green stuffing on minis that refused to be glued together and broken off bits. I've also worked more on my Warlocks and Attelus, who I think I'm finally happy with. Took some photos.

Very nice piece!

To me, there is just something enormously fun about a palace coup. Whether that palace is in Valois France, Caligula's Rome, Gondor, or the Grim dark grim darkness of the grim dark future (did I mention it was grim and dark?) this palace fills the bill.

I'm hoping to run a 40k universe fight in it next weekend. Looks to be fun!

Thanks a lot, Napoleon in space glad you like him!

I primed my Morrigan Aesland and Samus Aran statuettes and I forgot how annoying it is priming larger things. But eventually managed it and I've begun painting them. It'd be nice to get them done after they've been sitting around my hobby space for months now.

I'm painting things red! Red everything.

Building more Warspawned Kroxigors!

Really, very cool indeed. I have to confess that the face had me thinking that the knight was a lady in armor. Joan of Arc, maybe? But regardless, really a fine piece of work, IMO!

Finally got these three usable



Questoris Knights for Adeptus Titanicus, my own house colours, House Leopardus, chosen because I like purple but haven't yet really used it for anything other than a trim colour

Edit: does the picture load for anyone? I can get it with right click and open in new window, no idea why it doesn't post here other than its hosted on my own site

Starting work on a 2nd Plague Furnace for my Skaven.
Not sure I'll ever truly use two of them beyond display.... but I've got a spare Bell/Furnace kit so....

Yeah, I can understand that misunderstanding.

Had the game night again tonight. We played Grimdark Future: Firefight 2v2. I played as the not Harlequins, my young ally, not Chaos Marines, and the other side was not Dark Angels and not Custodes. Was fun, we couldn't finish on time, but I took photos to set up the next week. Managed to take out a Dark Angel marine with my Harlequin with only a CCW due to some very lucky rolls.

the only real reason to have two is because you do not yet have three

need to did my rats up and get them on the table again


anyway, today I is mostly supervising a 3d printer making some buildings for Adeptus Titanicus, game at the weekend and it occured to be I only have a few small Battletech buildings which will do for knights but are hardly up to the job for titans

Honestly I'll never use 3. There's just too many things in the Skaven book I like running to sacrifice enough pts for a 3rd furnace. Maaaybe 2 on occasion. Definitely not 3.
And the only reason I have the 2nd is because a local shop had one of the old Start Collecting Pestilence boxes marked way way down. It was cheaper to buy that & convert the rats into censor bearers than a get a 2nd Plague Claw + the actual censor bearer box.

Finished putting the first layers of varnish on my first painted Eru-Kin (Diehard Miniatures' Space Slann.) Pretty happy with how its turning out.

you'd never use three eh?

I see where you are going.

its four right? or maybe five of them...

has to be said I don't think there are many models in the range I don't like, even the old plastic rat ogres with a bit of green stuff are decent enough

Bought some wmh and minicrate stuff recently for a song thst I am painting up.

10 winter guard riflemen and a berzerker are the central.core. trying to get the scheme right.

Going to paint some warhammer underworld's squigs, and try and finish Psylocke for MCP tonight at FLGS.

More progress on my Morrigan Aensland and Samus Aran in Zero Suit statuettes. Samus, especially, painted her hair with a yellow from the fancy acrylic range by Scale 75 as I bought a big box set when it was on special on gap games. It's easily the best yellow I've used so far, covered so nicely. For the base colour on her suit, I used a Lite Ultramarine Blue from the box, it's a very nice looking blue, but it's taking quite a few layers to cover properly, but it's a dark colour over a light grey primer so that makes it a bit harder. The blue is perfect for her suit, though.
