I made more progress on my diorama, which I'll elaborate on in the blog I recently began. I also painted more on my Corsair Felarch and the dual swordsman. Layering up his armour etc., and started on a Howling Banshee Exarch, base painting her.

printing the 5th long wall section for Necromunda, also priming some 8mm scale Land Raiders to see how they come out as a test

hopefully also later today painting more on Gothmog for my Mordor forces

I did a bit today. Made more progress on my Corsair Felarch, blades dude and the shuriken cannon dude and began basing them. Also painted gold on the trim of one of my Chaos Marines. Man, when painting the god trim on Chaos dudes, it seems to stretch on forever. I should've been working on them instead of my Corsairs so the kids can have more options for them.

I also primed my diorama base black too!

Getting ready to teach both 40k 10e & sigmar at the shop this afternoon.

More work on my Corsairs and more progress on the Chaos Space Marine (most particularly the smirking one with the sorcerer flames off his hand and knife from the Kill Team), And have begun to work on the main leader of the Kill Team as well. Painting his golden trim.

Yesterday marked the start of a new project a friend has asked me to do:

I knocked out building the head first, as we're waiting on a replacement part for the torso(received duplicate left upper torsos instead of a left and a right).
The head is, of course, magnetized to allow for the crew to be visible:

I assembled one of the new Nightstalker butchers.
Mantic models have gotten good.

40k index cards arrived today and I'll be building my TSons DP at the weekend.

I am repairing four old metal Harlequins missing arms or weapons.

Cheers,

CB

More progress on my Felarch, swordsman and the Chaos Marines. Felarch is almost finished; the swordsman needs a bit more work. The bottle in the background is water with a Berrocca-like tablet in it.

Recalculating my Skaven list for the shops Sigmar League.
It was all set to go & then GW drops one if their balance updates & all my pts changed - literally a day before the battles began.

Stripping a number of old metal Harlequins.

Cheers,

Painting checkerboard patterns.

Those are some very good checkers boards.

Painted this bones reaper figure. Not exactly a fan of the material so this will probably be the only one I ever buy.

Finished glowing up my 3 push-fit Black Reach dreads from 2008 for use in Horus Heresy

Had to print new Legion-compliant weapons and a pair of feet that got lost

Absolutely chuffed to bits with how this looks

I did quite a bit more painting today, and I am having fun with it. Began painting a Crusader mini proxy I bought from Etsy. I've almost finished my Chaos Sorcerer dude from the Kill Team and got a bit of the way through the leader. For me, Chaos has always been the most "edgy" faction for "edgy boys" The kid who introduced me to 40k was a very edgy boy, a VERY edgy boy, and he loved Chaos, most especially Black Legion. For this Chaos faction, I've tried to truly embrace my "edgy boy" side, as mentioned their fluff a while back of them always trying to capture and break other Astartes loyalists or not and torture them and flay them into joining them; then when they manage to break the victim, they use their skin to make their leathers. So I decided to make this guy have his head and face skinless. I winged it, and it didn't turn out too bad.





I decided was a former Word Bearer who was "converted" after a long while.

Almost finished my Corsair swordsman too!









Him having white eyebrows on such pale skin is kinda weird lol

Taking a short break of my Leviathan models to paint some Christmas models for our now annual Christmas big game! We usually play a big scenario during Christmas with around 6 players, and we have some custom models and units in play at that time (Santa Claus and his army, plus Christmas themed daemons that join the fun).

Currently working on the new Khorne addition: a unit of Bloodcrushers (3 models). Green and gold Juggernaut with a red Bloodletter on top, these are gonna be some jolly fellow!

We only had Khorne models so far, and were missing the Bloodcrushers so this should complete the Khorne side. This year we gonna introduce Nurgle in the mix so we gonna have them next on the plate to work on!

Painted my volcano cannons.

Built an Elimiator squad & their best buddy the Phobos Librarian.

Right now their lascannons are attached by a single point of glue on the wrist joint.
Once I get small enough magnets l be able to swap between LC & sniper rifles.

Began assembling a Mokoto "The Major" Kusanagi statue and fixing a few old broken miniatures with a new superglue I recently bought.

Built my Haruspex.

Really fun kit to build, and for those inclined super easy to magnetise should want it dual build as an Exocrine. Heck, given the head is main thing you need to swap, old fashioned pinning might even suffice.

Ideally you should swap the big claws for the small stabbers, but I reckon most opponents would mostly be concerned with the beasty’s main weapon as the identifier.

Tomorrow, probably the Tyrannofex. I built one years ago when they first released, and I remember the spindly legs being a sod. But fairly sure I buggered it up somewhere.

The worst one on legs is the Toxicrine kit because they have these little inserts that look almost the same but only fit one leg setup for either variation. Woe betide you if you pick the wrong ones!



But yeah I want to get an Exocrine kit or three this year!

Trio of Haruspex is my ideal.

Eat the woooooorld. Let them know it’s breakfast time! Eat the woooooooorld! Let them know it’s breakfast time!

Also top tip for building the Haruspex? The instruction tells porky pies about the side vents, as it’s got the part numbers mixed up. Those listed for the left (front on) go on the right, and vice versa.

No no no you've got it wrong! You don't consume the world, you blast it at range into oblivion!


Though seriously if GW gives us new biovores I want to do an artillery focused force! Exocrines and biovores and sporemines and all!

Finished a game with my friend of The Angaran Chronicles: The Skirmish Game (My own TT Skirmish game), And we had a blast. I played as Anargrin's team, which consists of five highly elite operatives, and my friend played as Jaroaite Extremists, which came to a warband of twenty-two total, so a side using mostly chaff units. It was close, but I managed to get the win by controlling more objectives. Although, I lost Anargrin and Raleas. But Raleas got charged by a bunch of cultists and managed to fight back exceedingly well, holding out for two rounds and killing a cultist. In fact, her holding well won me the game as it prevented those cultists from moving on to secure another objective. She also sniped the priest leader, so she easily got MVP. Anargrin dying was...because of some terrible luck.

My cultists and ruined walls arrived for my diorama so I've been working on that a bit too.

58 hand written pages into my 40k novel. I doubt it will ever be published, but I'm having lot of fun.

Working Title: The Helstrom Navigator

A young, apprentice Navigator, Ulysses Selakhos Kubernetes is on a trade delegation from his father's House to the Hearthlord of Anoumbla, a Squat world (yes, it is very much 1st ed). He is along as the only noble member of the House attending the delegation, and is under strict orders from his Father to keep his mouth shut and learn.

All goes well until an assassin tries to take him out, and kills the senior member of the delegation instead. The remaining delegates, not wanting to lose theirlord's firstborn (and their heads), pack him aboard a warp-capable cutter, and sending home in secret.

He finds out soon enough he's being tracked.

Managed just a single layer of Burnt Umber on the bases of a dozen old metal Harlequins. Ended up only having ten minutes of free time.

Cheers,

I put my 5 Oathmark light dwarf infantry (to br "thugs" in Frostgrave) on 20mm square bases.

Also finished reading "Faith Aligned", one of the newer KoW lore novels.
I enjoyed it.

I plan to build another squad of SM Eliminators later this evening.
