Started on some detailing of the SM Terrain. Some Ryza rust dry brushing on the edges and base really make them stand out. each piece will have the Lamenter Yellow windows and doors so they tie together.

Next step will be to determine what to paint metallic and what Metallic color to use.

Just checking in.

Finished the 5 Pill boxes from the SM collection at 'Death Ray Designs' Almost done with one of the bunkers and landing pad. I'll get some pics and post tomorrow.

Started on a 1000 sons force to run with my eventual Chaos Marines army. Which will be mostly Alpha Legion. ( I'll have a 30k and 40K alpha legion). Some Pink horrors to start out.

Trying to keep the painting to generic models as I'm not sure what the 8th edition will do to the army builds. Terrain and basic low level Demons should be safe since they don't currently have many options anyway.

Really looking forward to seeing your progress on your terrain pieces. They are spectacular even before painted. When are we going to see a game on your table with all this fantastic terrain?

Working so much, barely have time for anything.. Did manage to get a quick camera shot of what I'm doing with the Death Ray Designs SM Terrain
Pill box - 1 of 5


The edges are more orange highlighted than the picture indicates.

That is looking amazing bud. Fantastic work on the rust.

Been waiting for an update on the terrain, looking great Solar.

Looks good SL.

Lovely work, quite creepy. Do like a bit o' mdf

Very cool pill box.

EDC

Pillbox looks good so far. Awesome quick update.

Thanks all.. though nothing new to report. Been working gobs of hrs and with spring here ( if you count raining every day as Spring ) I've been working on home projects not related to gaming.

I have several painting projects in the wings though I'm waiting on the roll out of the 8th edition to provide me some incentive.

I have a Primarch to build and paint.. In Lamenters colors.
My mass of 30K Alpha legion to do before next year Adepticon Including my Typhon Tank and the FW 30K flyer. ( More Jet bikes as well )
The detailing of the SM terrain in currently on the table and... a completely new 40K army I've been slowly purchasing.

New 40k army? I am intrigued.

What's the new army? Don't be such a tease!

EDC

OOOOOw! New army, looking forward to that.

Yes.. I've been still buying even though no time to paint.
I'll reveal my new Army after I've got the 8th rules in my hand. I'm curious if I've spent my money wisely.

I've managed to get all 5 Pillboxes, Landing Pad, and a Bunker to playable standard. Wow I bought a lot of SM terrain.

Gotta at least give us a hint now that you teased it. Imperial, Chaos or Xenos?

Or some pictures of your finished terrain!

Time for pictures or it didn't happen

Xenos

Hmmm... that narrows it down quite a bit. You've already got Crons, Orks and Eldar. Makes it Spikey Eldar, Bugs or Tau then.

Buildings are looking great SL!

I'm hoping Tau, personally - especially if it's Enclaves!

Terrain is looking great, I am picking Eldar for his newest army. Who doesn't like sneaky Aeldari?

You had me at Terrain looks great. Maybe some Scorch marks?

Yeah.. good call. Some additional weathering or battle damage. It'll wait till though till I get all the pieces to this level so I can remain consistent.

I'll reveal after I get the new rules.

Heh, very nice terrain.Some great sets from that range, and the paintjob looks good too, if not a touch more wear and tear. Thanks for the pictures!

Great looking terrain, great work on that, I am with everyone else I am afraid, needs to see a little dirt.

And OK we will wait, but I would like to throw down now and guess they will be yellow!

Thanks. Yeah alot more I could do with these. so far no time has opened up.

Still on the positive side I got my recent order.. 5 new HH SM jetbikes, an additional HH Landspeeder ( LC ), The HH Flyer and the FW Sword Knight that I plan to assemble and Paint for my brother. I also got two more Imperial Knights which I plan to go to some friends as gifts.

I have a few more Items to get for my HH Alpha Legion. An additional Anvillus Drop pod. Some additional Jetbikes ( to increase my 2 squads of 3 to 5 ) and some other chapters cool special units ( Alpha Legion infiltration ).

Sounds like your summer is all planned out!

No Plan.. Unless you count real life work and Summer property chores. I have till next March to get my Brothers Knight done. And the two other knights for gifts, I'm not assembling or painting. They are getting the model to do as they will.

I did spend some time cleaning my Workroom, tossing stuff I' thought I save for future projects ( that I'll most likely never get too) and reorganizing. Kinda painful to put all the old 40K books together and realize how much money I spent ( A lot of 6th and 7th books .. Yikes ). Now all useless. Especially just after I shelled out for all the new 8th edition stuff. I pulled all my collection of White Dwarf as well. I think the oldest one I have is edition 80. I have most of the 100 and 200 range. So funny too look back at the Models and Painting back then . Vechicle Data cards, Wargear cards. Chaos Space dwarfs...

I'd like to get my Alpha Legion Army built and Primed before the summer ends. This should be a massive army that over takes my Lamenters in size and points. Then the same for my new army. Hopefully by then I'll be well versed in the 8th edition rules and have an Idea what works and what doesn't.
