Spraying my matsudan, slapchopping some zombies and then a little bit of exploratory building of some Mantic Dwarves I've had for ages with some Oathmark Heavy Infantry. I'm planning to use the Heavy Infantry to make 20 Ironbreakers and 10 Hammerers, and then beef out the remaining hammerers to 20 with 10 Mantic Dwarves.
They actually scale alright with the Oathmark guys - roughly the same height, a bit bulkier but not outrageously so. And Oathmark heads fit alright on the one body without a head, which is nice because they're much more dwarfy and characterful than the Mantic heads. I can also use the spare hammer heads to turn some of the axes and maces on the Oathmark sprue into hammers, which is nice!

Writing up on my blog thread about my mega battle wagon project that I've been working on for the last few months. If you want to check it out, here's the link:

Assembling more city of Ash Night Runners for ToW, with a few conversions, so they aren’t all the same couple of poses…





Valete,

JohnS

Reviewed some custom printed parts I have purchased for future conversions (one of my upcoming units will be my first unit that is mainly assembled from printed parts) and at first I was worried everything was not in scale just right.

...But since no one seemed to mind my Praetor, maybe it will be okay.

Decided to pull all Solar Auxilia boxes I have out of storage for inventory and take stock of what's left to build, including all of the rifleman sprues to see how many Tercios I could make from them.

Too many, need to build stuff, not just hoard it.



So, to make a dent in the pile I built a Dracosan instead, as a warming up for the repetitive madness that is.. 95 models, give or take, as the command sets come with an extra model.

At least I have another Dracosan and Leman Russ to look forward to afterwards.

About to start the last half of assembly on a TK Bone Dragon.
I'm rather tired of building TK stuff.... But the end is in sight. 1/2 the Dragon & 1 sphinx to go.

Made quite a lot more progress on this newest version of Attelus Kaltos' Hero Forge mini today, he's very close to being done. Him and the cute PanO Fusilier girl, too! I should be doing terrain, but I want to get them done first! The NMM on Attelus' sword is looking better, but I have to get both sides of the blade to look as good as the other. I also have to finish his leathers, too.

Kept going with putting together some Hammerers.

I love North Star kits. Body, 2 arms and a head and you've got a model ready to go, but lots of options to customise and kitbash too if you want. My perfect sweet spot when it comes to plastic.

Okay finally finished off the last couple of Skaven I had base coated.



Three of my Skaven Packmasters done and read to lead my Rat Ogres to their inevitable doom. Not much to say about them, I painted them like all my other Skaven. Much like all older GW models they have nice chunky detail so they were fun to paint.

Alright, next up I'm casting some spare parts for another project so hopefully I'll have them done for the weekend.

Attempting to spray paint over 3,000 points of Tomb Kings, and realizing that storing spray paint cans on their sides may indeed ruin them.

Built the other Dracosan, tomorrow I'll start on the infantry, promise.
