Setting up the work area in the garage for tomorrow so I can actually start work on the titan again. It's been a long time since I have done anything with it and it needs to see some progress. If I can get the legs assembled and begin painting them, I'll be happy. I have the day off and I want to be productive.

Tonight I punched out all the tokens for the x-wing starter set and two expansions. Then I got some beer.

Just another starter set and three more expansions to go!

Worked some more on the Rebs starter.

Sold mst of my armies for all systems generaly, in order to help smooth the gap from employed to unemploed I will miss them all

I had meant to use my new painting station, but I got carried away building my deadzone structures as high as they would go. So far the 2x2' area is averaging 3-4 tiles with a couple of towers going up to 6 tiles in height.

It's super fun connecting all of the structures with walkways and working everything up. I've got a large (9"x12") landing pad stuck at ground level kind of grounding things out, my next constructions may be solid-ish buildings to go down in place of that. I may tear the whole pad down and redesign it to match the nexus psi mission sized pad and my valkyrie be damned. I think it might be possible to build up to the 2'x2'x2' "DoomCube" I had previously envisioned... but I would need more tiles.

Cleaned a couple of Infinity minis too, kind of on a kick looking at those and there's no way I would get more without finishing these first. They might get bumped up in the queue

working on my Imperial guard Bagpiper. he finally has a head and i am trying to turn his hat in to something more appropriate for a bagpiper as i'm using an empire head with hat.

Working on pMorghoul, and then might start the Cyclops Savages in the Skorne battlebox.

Take pics and put them in your blog!

Totally going to, just really lazy and it's been dark and rainy the last couple of days. I've just ordered a new camera, nothing crazy but it should be better than my phone, so I'll probably take a bunch of shots with it tomorrow. I'm thinking we might get rained out again as I can still hear it roaring outside but we'll see.

Went to the FLGS and played some WM!

Primed my new exorcist and began painting a stormtalon for my Imperial Fist.

Liverpool 40k league game at 10am

Got my new sculpting tools in the mail. Now to make skirts for all my HWS so them match my normal foot sloggers!

Just finished two Ashigaru. For the most part at least. Will go back over them and touch them up later.

Finished all the Rebs I had. Waiting on Mantic to send me the missing Sorak gun/limbs. Worked a trade on here for another Sorak as my immediate backup while I'm waiting.

Started painting the 2 left over plague 3As that came with the starter set.

Drilling out gun barrels on 80+ Chaos Cultists. Nothing exciting.

Assembled two CNCworkshop radar dishes

Working on some Deathmarks, a couple of Lords, and three Spiders.

WIP's. An older FW model I got years ago and never finished, and one of the best sculpted chaplains ever. Hope he turns out well.

building an Eldar wraithknight. With no instructions. Like a boss

Well, it was International Tabletop Day today and I had a few mates round to play Ultimate Dreadball.



I had done some painting of my Hellhounds beforehand, though one of my mates who was new to the game ended up using them.



We had 4 players. I was my Void Sirens, sharing the green arm with the Hellhounds. Then we had a Zzor player and a Forge Fathers player.

Things went quite well for me during the game, despite one of my Jacks dying in the first slam of the first turn of the game. Well, that was, until Rush 5, where, being at 5 points... All 3 of the other players decided to make a concentrated effort to take me down. Cue 2 people left on the pitch, one on the ground, surrounded by 3 Forge Fathers and a Zzor Jack. And one other defending my 3 point zone.

Things got even hairier for the rest of the game, however I did manage to score some cheeky extra points, actually giving me the win. 4 points for The Void Sirens, 3 for the Hellhounds, 2 for the Forge Fathers and, well, 0 for the Zzor. - The Zzor player liked bashing things a little too much.

Casualties were a Void Siren Striker+Jack, a Hellhound Jack and a Forge Father Striker.


We then moved onto a game of X Wing.

My Rebel Fleet comprised of:
Chewbacca with 'Draw Their Fire'
Kyle Katarn with Recon Specialist, Blaster Turret, Mouldy Crow
Gold Squadron Y Wing with Ion Cannon, R2F2

The Imperial Fleet was:
A Bounty Hunter with Proximity Mine and a Merc Copilot
Howlrunner with a Shield Upgrade
2 Academy Pilots
Dark Curse

We were using ships we hadn't really used before so plenty of mistakes were to be had. - The number of times my Y Wing collided with an asteroid is terrifying and the Bounty Hunter didn't get to use his Proximity Mine plus, I'm not sure if the Merc Copilot was used.



It ended up being a Rebel victory (2 wins in a row on Tabletop Day, take that Wil Wheaton! ) with my fleet finally cornoring the last surviving Imperial Ship - The Bounty Hunter. Although, ultimately it was very much more luck and skill - my theory is that the Imperial ships were actually flown by Stormtroopers.

In any case, the result wasn't quite as sewn up as one would think.... WIth the exception of the Falcon, my ships were pretty much held together with Duct Tape and 9(!) Focus Tokens.

Painting up my widowmakers. 2 down 2 to go!

Getting some scenery for the 40k table done, then painting engine glows onto my x wing stuff. After that, maybe a game of x wing.

Finished bases on my last 2 extra Plague models from Deadzone.

Started work on a Space Marine tactica in the same style as my IG one. Lots of units to get through...

I have a ton to assemble. Picked up a bunch of unopened boxes of Warhammer stuff. A box of Sisters of Sigmar, 2 boxes of the old Space Ork Storm Boyz, 4 old Deff Dreads, a Witch King on Black Dragon, 15 SoB Seraphim, 5 SoB with heavy weapons, 3 SoB Cannonesses, a metal Chaos Daemon Prince, 2 boxes of Metal Nobz, a Rokkit Buggy, and a box of old 16 Ork Boyz. all for $200. So much to paint.

Hoping to get the painting station out and put some more work down on my plague. It's been slow going though as I haven't put much time in.. but there's only a finite amount of work to be done and I'm chipping away. Gonna take some steps there. When baby is napping, I need to try my easy fix for my airbrush, and one that fails.. need to suck it up and order the replacement part.

I need to see this!

I finally finished finals and magnetized a few gargoyles. Nothing exciting, but making slow progress.

Here you go:

Today, I'm going to play airbrush doctor to try to fix my Sotar 20/20, but I'll probably just have to put him on the waiting list and see who's got the best rate on a replacement nozzle.

Then, hopefully painting, we'll see.

Trying to finish of a team of five archers. Need 10 for a full unit.
