Working on Sculpting Goblins and Mounted Human Warriors.

Looking forward to your revisited checkpint station, Compel.

@BeAfraid, are you working on something you may sell or just your personal collection?


I got my bridge/cliffs terrain piece done enough for paint so I've undercoated it and based it in minitare earth (pre-shaded it a little bit with black too).

Currently printing the Pulp Alley rulebook so I can give the rules a more leisurely read.

My wife got me a box of whfb elf spearman for my birthday, which are the last things I need to build another batch of wracks for my DE.

So will be building wracks today

Interesting.
What arms are you using for the Wracks?

Bit of a mix.

Lower bodies are DE and High elf spearmen, torsos are mainly 2nd ed Ork boyz (the masks fit nicely over them, and it gives them a hunched-forward look that i like. Less upright than the current wrack models, and a bit creepier in my view.

Arms are a bit of a grab bag. The tiny manipulator/claw/syringe arms from the Talos kit made it onto a lot of them.

I've also used ork and ogre arms, slightly modified, and often cut off at the hand to allow for nasty contrivances, and DE/Dark Elf arms.

A couple have tentacles, and one has a pair of Genestealer Rending Claws. I think at least one has a Pink Horror arm in there too.

I'll post pics of them when i get time. I have 40 converted up so far, and 20 grotesques.

None are finished yet, so it's a bit rough and ready, but hopefully i'll find time to give them a bit of polish soon

Thanks for answering.
Pics would be nice.

Today I finished six Bile Thralls.
I'll field only 6 of them, 10 would be overkill.

Played more Warhammer Quest last weekend. Playing even more Warhammer Quest this weekend. My Pit Fighter is awesome.

Also playing some Black Crusade this weekend.

Today I'll be taking pictures of some Emperor's Children that I've been painting for the past few weeks.

I'm delighted to have finally finished the last one this morning!

Not sure what I'll start next though, I could start highlighting my Night Lords again, model up my Predator, work on another of my CSM mercenaries or work on my Night Lord Chosen...

Resume working on my Terminator Sergeant. Base colours are pretty much done, I'm hoping to finish the body and shade him so it's ready for some highlight goodness.

I reaaaally need to beat my writing-hate and attempt to write the fluff so I can have a decent P&M blog

Painted Orin Midwinter.
More Banes to come ...

Building a giant Zoanthrope from a Maleceptor head and Tervigon tail.

Finishing off my regimental standard for my imperial guard

Got my bridge/cliffs thing dipped last night, and matte-sealed this morning. Given the chance, today will be the flockening, maybe some water too. We'll see. Gotta paint some stuff soon as well.

Getting some games of Dreadball: Xtreme (to the MAX!) and discussing plans for our Kelmarsh History Live game. Korean War Jets.
Hoping to get some Meteors getting worked over by MiGs in there before moving on to the classic Sabre v MiG. Just need to decide what scale we are working with and if we will write our own rules or use someone elses.

Reading my old White Dwarfs prior to in all likelihood chucking them out.

Up to issue 199, 1996 - the release of Abaddon - which means he's now old enough to vote

Going through my sprues and making a bits box to figure out how many Templar crusaders I can make out of all of the space marines I have laying around.

So here's a blu-tac test fit for the Neurofex



I also played a game of DBX and got trounced completely because of ass dice. I think my average roll was 3 and my opponent's was 5.

That thing kind of looks like a carnifex that's half brain. Kinda cool.


Me?

Treeeeeeeees.......

Bought a floral bouquet thing to harvest for jungle foliage and well... there's a lot I can use. Just kind of have to do a lot of clipping and gluing to make the plants more in-scale with 28mm.

had a warm enough day to prime models, so i primed all the mantic wave 3 enforcer stuff i'd built last week

Painting giant toxic waste barrels for use as necromunda terrain

Having got 100 LotR minis done (3 of my first 100 were 40k, but now I'm on 103), I'm taking a break today to work on a Deadzone Strike Team. Enforcers, each one heavily converted, and using a fair few other Bitz in the making. So far, this is my planned setup:

Sergeant: 15
Pathfinder: 9
Pathfinder: 9
Assault Enforcer: 10
Defender: 12
Sniper: 12
Total: 68 (off the top of my head, think that's right)

The Pathfinders are a kitbash of Corporation Ranger and Enforcer bits, as is the Assault Trooper. The Defender, Sniper and Sarge will all be in full Enforcer plate armour, and each model will be getting a unique colour scheme, like the Spartan team on Halo Reach.

Got in some Dark Heresy last weekend and started painting some Riptides.

My poor imperials got totally crushed by a ragtag bunch of filthy cool dude scum.

Got a bit carried away (I blame the powers of Restic!) and ended up with far more than my planned 6-model team. Pics tomorrow with any luck, although they might be WIPs. Quite happpy with how the team has come together though, and I'll be writing up some backstory for them between now and finishing them.

I think the sniper is 13 points but you're still under 70. Looking forward to seeing your results.


I guess my big fat terrain piece is done so now I just wanna finish up a couple of mars attacks models to use for a pulp alley game later this week. Maybe some other miscellaneous painting.

I thought he might be, which is why I left a couple of points. It's been a while since I played DZ properly. I'll just throw some ammo on a guy or something.

Ammo can be useful, more often than not it seems to just draw out a steadfast card or whatever, but at least it does that.

Off of work, today, but I'm torn between two projects: cleaning mold lines before assembly on a 5-man Forge Fathers squad (just to toss in the display cabinet - came in a grab bag) and pushing forward on 'Operation: Reorganize the Hobby Space so I can Actually Use it Vaguely Effectively.'

The spehss dwarves are tempting, as it's only five models. I've been on a quest, of late (as I may have actually mentioned earlier in this thread - I like to pop in every now and again and I'm super slow and sporadic in my P&Ming), to finish all of my small, manageable projects. Knocking out one-off Bones fantasy models, finishing board game mini-forces (with the Veermyn bases painted and matte varnish applied, my Project Pandora 'dip and done' forces are finally complete!), etc. They were taking up precious compartments in my Mantic parts container, anyway.

The hobby room cleanup, though, has been a long and dearly held dream. I had long ago reached critical hobby-mass, whereupon I had accumulated too much stuff to properly access, let alone empty, my shelves and reorganize properly. Lacking sufficient vertical storage space, the avalanche spread out horizontally. Reclaiming floorspace is a pretty high priority, so I can install more shelving and a pegboard over my workbench, freeing up lower shelves and cabinets for the contents of the model and material landslide. Got to use that high ceiling for something!


So, more productive Dakkanauts, anyone want to nudge me in one direction or the other? I'm dithering, which does nothing good for my already weak motivation. Help me, Dakka-wan KenAkka. You're my only hope!

Sigh. I'm at the same place, small fun projects or clean the hobby area. I had finally taken the plunge and started slowly transitioning stuff out of the office into a storage area when my daughter decided to move in to the office and crowd it with her stuff. Now I've barely got room for my chair on the floor =/ So... I've been doing the small projects.

But if you've got the opportunity, having all of that space is nice, so that may be my vote.

Double sigh. There's been a vote, so it looks like I'm cleaning. If I die under a pile of sprues, boxes, and MDF scraps, pierced by dozens of bits of miscellaneous (but invariably sharp) hardware and strangled by wire, blame GrimDork!

P.S. - Don't avenge me; just send him all of my stuff - he'll eventually suffer the same fate.

Oh the tragedy that oadie would curse me with death by models as I just wanted him to have the opportunity that I never did! For shame! Woe is me and all that.


Besides, I may not be as productive as Para, but I'm still knocking stuff out!


Case in point!

Yeah, that's some cracking terrain! And I've had a slow few days since hitting 100, and I might be taking things a bit slower now...

A completed successful trade today - a Stompa, Battlewagon, loads of Orks and some old scenery have all gone to a good home, and my Infinity terrain fund has swelled a bit. Thanks Dakka
