Finished assembling a 23 year old space marine for a 'character' themed painting competition.
I pulled him apart and stripped the paint I had applied 23 years ago over the weekend.
This time, much pinning was done.

Had a go at Kill Team and.. its ok, won't be buying it but its "ok".

dunno quite what it needs, some sort of reaction ability if a figure has yet to act maybe, covering fire, maybe a single shoot action at a cost of not being then able to do anything else or something.

otherwise half the game was looking up special rules that to be honest never seemed to actually do all that much - that obviously gets better when played more but for most of the time said rules really didn't seem to change the outcome of an action much

its easy enough to play though, and the short turn limit leads to "get on with it" impetus which is good

but after the game there were no stand out moments that stick in the mind, was just another game. has a good few things going for it (low model count, not needing a huge table) but dunno, just felt very bland


Did you play KT21 or KT24? KT24 has reactions now, where an already activated model can do any 1AP action.

I do not recommend anyone use the Tac Ops or ploys on their first game. There is so much depth to applying conceal/engage and the order where you activate your operatives in already, that stuff is just making you miss all the important bits of gameplay IMHO.

If you feel like operatives need to be able to do something before their activation, that just tells me you didn't "get" the utmost importance of activation order. Mastering conceal/engage and activation ordering goes hand in hand IME, and both offer synergies which need to be mastered for best results. You need to think ahead a lot

I assembled a couple new buildings with my new Mantic Firefight kits. I wanted some new undamaged civilian buildings. One was a one story 2 by 3 hab building, the other a power station. I forgot how much assembling those kits callouses my fingers, lol. Might do one more undamaged building, then work on more ruins. Don't know.

Managed to build some models lately! Got 5 Gargoyles down, converted from Leviathan Termagants and some Gargoyles wings. I had the wings as extra bitz I ordered so many years ago for a project I don't remember but definitely never got into So having the wings around for so long, I decided to turn some extra Termagants (so many Termagants) into Gargoyles. Went pretty well with the first 5, Magnetized them to their flying stand and did some greenstuff to cover up some holes and gap and fill out details.

While those 5 went well, it's a little involving and took a break to finish another models i had around. Have a converted Old One Eye that I decided to give some extra Leviathan Screamer Killer legs. Those are more bulky and makes him much more proportionate now! Working on some greenstuff to build the waist joint on him right now.

Building a variety of stuff that might get used in Crusades & Escalation Leagues come January.
Drukari - +1 Voidraven Bomber {finished}
Chaos - +2 units of Plague Drones {finished}, +4 Chaos Knight Brigands {assuming these arrive on schedule Sat/Monday}
IK/CK (for both 40k & 30k use) - +2 Knight Lancers, +1 Knight Castigator {WiP}

I haven't fully decided what to use in either the Crusade & Escalation. Drukari? IK? CKights? Same force in both? Drukari in one & the Knights in the other (wich force in wich game??)
If I do the Knights I'm strongly leaning towards Chaos - using the new Grotmas detachment + a dash of Nurgle Demons just for the hell of it, because I can.

Edit:Also painted a bit of KT equipment (razorwire sectiions) & added little bits of color/detail to a cheap salvage job Reiver squad I picked up at the shop a while back.

* finish the gun/ammo feed for a Knight Castigator.
* dig out about 30 guardsmen/cultists

So Empire army refresh continues. Took a break and put together a few models and worked on other projects for a bit but the new year is going to be all "get 2000pts together for Old World."

So with that said I grabbed some of my old Greatswords and decided to do a test model.




As you can see with this comparison I have gotten slightly better at painting since I first started back in 2004. Still trying to decide if I should just strip all the painted Greatswords I have, or try to salvage it with washes and highlights. The only hard bit will be the bases as getting that green flock off is annoying without just soaking it in my paint stripper.
