Practically finished my Eisenhorn proxy and made a lot of progress on my Gaunt proxy, almost finished him, as well. I found a Space Marine mini I kit bashed ages ago, so might start working on him next.

Almost finished my Gaunt proxy and started work on the earlier mentioned Space Marine.

I wanted to do some more painting today, but I couldn't bring myself to do much. But I did play my 18th Five Parsecs from Home encounter. Got a couple of cool photos of Attelus' new mini when taking photos for uploading online. Here's one.

Converted some zombie.

I'll finish up some work building my final LI Russ squadron.

Then I have to get busy prepping on a pair of D&D adventures....
Ones easy, the others much more involved.

Been on a scenery binge lately. Started by ordering some palm trees and worked on some desert pieces, namely an oasis with removable tree bases, and some stand-along tree bases as extra to add to the table. Also working on other piece for Fantasy/Old World that have been lingering, creating more bases to glue them down (Elven pillar, small ruins, etc).

On the side, I'm painting my last 3 Tzaangor Enlightened, the last pieces needed for my 1k Tzaangor list!

Finished the two old metal Exarchs.



Cheers,

Still working on the hobby space. Probably 85% there now that I just have to finish clearing the floor.

Played my 19th encounter of Five Parsecs from Home today it was a Salvage Mission using the Daedalus Station sci fi dungeon by Tenfold Dungeon. It was a ton of fun and really something different in the campaign so far. Got a few rules wrong, but that's an inevitability and live and learn and all that!

Brush priming assorted fantasy creatures made of plastic that doesn't seem to play well with spray primer.

Spent some time correcting my HH Mechanicum/Knights list.

Turns out I'd overlooked a rule & had the wrong types of Skitari & knights blended together.
So now the Skitari infantry has been replaced on paper list by nearly double their # of Solar Aux infantry. Wich, as they were in the list mainly to serve as charge blockers & maybe some additional scoring units, will work even better.... My eagle eyed opponent who pointed out my error will come to regret bringing it to my attention.
Next time I'm at the shop I'll pick up the needed minis & have the force physically corrected in time for our next game.

Filing flash off, and basing 1994 IG Praetorians.

Getting basecoats on an HB 'Sternguard' Gesith.

Painting a Traitor Guard model to see can I manage 40 or 50 of them.

I finally began painting my Mantic Dropship for the kids for the miniature gaming club tomorrow, leaving it for the last minute which is typical for me. To be fair to myself, it took me ages to decide on a colour scheme because I wanted one that could be "faction neutral" and I finally somewhat thought of one.

Always wise to test the waters.
That's how my DG Kill Team came to be painted. I was trying my hand at the HH era off/dirty white & green scheme before committing to doing it on a whole 30k/40k army.
While I like the results well enough for the KT, it didn't come out as I'd hoped. So it was a no-go on the larger force. :(

Had the kids' game day today. Was a lot of fun. Also, rolled up my 20th Campaign Turn for Five Parsecs from Home.

More old Necromunda terrain getting upgraded.

Some progress, rivets, metal plates, vent openings, and hatches.





Cheers,.

Very cool!

I did think you’d put googly eyes on some for a second.

I'm almost finished with my Shades of Persecution Chapter Master (who I named Anargrin along while back but I'm going to change his name as that's the name of the main character of my Angaran Chronicles book series, well soonish to be a series when I finally get around to finishing writing the 2nd frigging novel!) Uhh yeah, I also began painting another version of Adelana from Secret War and another version of Attelus with a submachine gun for my Five Parsecs from Home campaign.

Almost finished my Chapter Master and 2nd Adelana from Secret War mini. Happy with them both. I also began working on a mini of Commissar Delan Tathe, also from Secret War and did more base painting on the earlier mentioned Attelus.

cleaned up, washed and now drying to prime later the Against the Ogre Horde Heroquest expansion. won't be running it for a while but figure the ranged goblins & orcs will be useful for Kellar's Keep and seems daft not to do the others at the same time

As I’ll be on the move again sooner rather than later, starting to carefully consider proper transport solutions for my painted models. Don’t want to risk them being smashed up when the time comes.

But, as that’ll be me off to my forever home (inheritance funded home purchase) I don’t want to be spending hundreds, as in theory I’ll only need it the once.

Slowly working on my Atlas a.k.a... 😤 Skullbert and fluffing hell, edge highlighting is an arse to get right. Also did a quick demo game Wolverine to keep myself from going barmy working on the Atlas.

While waiting for WGA to release 50mm textured bases I removed a normal GW 50mm base from my custom made earth elemental.

Practically finished my former commissar Delan Tathe mini and Attelus with submachine gun mini. I'm considering starting painting my awesome Inquisition team proxies next.

Cleaning the house.
Or at least the 1st floor rooms....

I know, that doesn't seem very "hobby related".

But it's part of my annual GenCon prep.
I clean before I leave for the con so that when my brother stops in to feed ny cat he's not walking into a mess.
Some years are more involved than others. This year's pretty lite.

I did this Termie Ancient!

Almost finished the auto rifle version of Attelus for my Five Parsecs from Home campaign. Here's a photo.



Also mostly finished former Commissar Delan Tathe of the Velrosian 1st regiment.



And Chapter Master of the Shades of Persecution who's to be named. Let's just call him the Veteran Sergeant formerly known as Anargrin.

Made more progress on Attelus and Tathe, practically finishing them both. I did highlights on Attelus' hair, painting hair has been something I've been hesitant to do for ages now, but been pushing through that hesitation and it looks not too bad. I also finished painting an Inquisitorial Stormtrooper officer that's been standing around on my desk for ages primed. He's turned out to be an ugly frigger, but I wouldn't have him any other way, lol.
Also primed my Inquisitorial kill team proxies and magnetised the combat servitor and his weapons.
