Well friends I've been doing some cleaning up as I'm going to be moving at the beginning of next year and I've decided to decrease the size of certain armies.
However with the house cleaning I have been doing some building.
I was able to get my Land Raider Achiles built.

I got 2 apothecaries painted.



As well as 2 of the Apocalypse 2.0 Marine Captains



And my Ultramarines Tycho


Also with the advent of Sicarius' new warlord trait I figure I need some pure CC command squads.
So I built the thunderhammer squad




And the lightning claw squad




I also picked up a shadow box to display my GW pin/keychain collection

I just picked up another to give my necklace collection a go.

So I've decided to catalog my painting exploits by taking pictures of everything I have.
First up is the first company, all terminators.

Captain with TH/SS

More stormtalon pictures since I didn't take pictures earlier (nose emblem for the 1st is an eagle, the rest are Ultramarines symbols)




Next up to photograph will be the 8th company and other random marines I come across.

As far as paint goes, I haven't gotten much done. I put some more colors down on some special characters, and started lining up parts for a land raider redeemer I need for a list I'm working on.
I was able to get in a MASSIVE game of apoc. I brought 6k and joined a team of 6 other players for a 42k a side mega game.
Here is a few pictures of the table setup



And a cool building I want to build



I didn't take any in game pics but they had a few photographers going so I'll get a link up later!

This has been an odd week.
I started on a project I've been kicking around in my head for some time! The Chaplain Land raider! The pieces on top aren't really glued so don't mind if they're off center.


I haven't decided if I want a skull door, normal Ultradoors like my other LRs, or a combination






Last night I was able to start on a project I've wanted to do for a while


Stay tuned for updates on it!

Well I tried out zenithial spraying for a khador test model then did some quick colors and some wash. No red paint touched my brush during the painting:



All and all it was about an hour of painting and I'm happy with it. I think I will try painting more quick warmachine models so I can get them on the table.

It turns out the deathstrike missiles from earlier didn't work so I'm going back to the drawing board on them.

And last week a few new boardgames arrived


I've been waiting for this to arrive before I started painting my 1st ed zombicide zombies. So you'll be seeing some test paints later.

Well after a little over 2 hours of painting I have finished all the normal fatties from zombicide.

They need a quick army painter dip and they'll be good to go!

Nice stuff Foda! Did you get those New board games strictly for yourself or are those for resale? Looks like quite the haul.

Moltar - Thanks! There are 2 copies of the latest zombicide kickstarter in there. 1 was for me and another was for a friend.

You may remember the 2 command squads from earlier. Well I finally got around to finishing them off.
Hammers:



Claws:



In the marine dex you can now have sergeants with BOLTERS. I'm sure this was possible before but I never saw it, and my latest lists use bolter sergeants so I built and painted 6.




I also finished off the chapter master from earlier.
Magnetic weapons:

Shield Detail

I added some brass details to the Hammer to make it more Ultramarines.




I also painted all of the runners for zombiecide:


And 1 of the female poses of walker:

Well we've had a bit of a snow storm here in North Texas so it has allowed me to get some painting done.
Some newly finished zombicide walkers


I also built deathwatch killteams and a captain
Captain (Iron snake)


Killteams:




Last week I built 30 arco flagallents from Ghouls and sisters of silence.



I was finally able to paint them



I also got my kickstarter order in from PDC Gaming and painted them up as rapiers along with an older one

Well I decided to finally finish up the zombicide walkers






All walkers together


And I finished off the Abominations


That means I'm done with all basic zombies





And started the toxix zombies with the fatties!

Yay for a snow storm! Those arco flagellants are awesome. Is your Captain's name Iron Snake or is your killteam from the Iron Snakes chapter of SMs?

man those zombies are looking decent now dip em and be done (mostly)

Moltar - Thanks! The captain is from the Iron Snakes chapter. The killteams are all DeathWatch so they are made up of different chapters.
Galorn - Thanks! They're all going to get a dip (or various washes) and then I'm going to hit them with some other spot items. I'm planning to use the new GW technical paints to dirty them up.

A while ago I painted a Phantom Titan for a friend of mine. He finally put the thing together (well most of the way) so I can show it off here.


I was able to finish off the toxic runners

The toxic walkers



And the toxic abominations

Finished Toxic zombie horde


I'm afraid I've been a little quiet lately because I've been moving apartments. Although this means I've had to tear down all my current setup it allows me to hopefully improve it all.
Here's a WIP of the book shelves

and the Paint/DVD shelf

Then I set up my painting area

And got a couch (for batch painting there's nothing better than relaxing)


And how I spent a classy New Year

Well I've been slowly setting up my painting area and getting pretty sick while doing it but I finally got time to get some painting done.
Right before I moved I decided to build 6 sergeants holding each of the combi weapons I plan on using in the future (Plasma, flamer, and melta). Well this 3 day weekend I was finally able to get some paint on them.

Combi Plasmas


Combi Flamers


Combi Meltas


Photos aren't perfect as I'm still experimenting with where to take them in the new apartment.

I also played in another HUGE apocalypse game. This time I took photos of my army and nothing else (due to timed turns and controlling almost 10k of models).


Thats it for now. I'm getting my knees scoped on the 31st so hopefully I can get something done before then (since I'll be out of action for a few days recovering).

Well I finally got those deathwatch minis painted
Iron Snake Captain with out Flash

with flash


Ultramarine Sergeant


Space Wolf Sergeant


Iron Hand and Black Templar with heavy flamer


Dark Angel and Spartan


Deathmask and Blood Raven


Blood Angel and Soul Drinker


Blood Angel and Salamanders


Phi and Exterminators


And a Limited Judge Minty figure

Well I've been recovering from the Knee Surgery well and working on a ton of different projects. I'll only be posting the finished/almost done here.

First up are some old commissars I've been working on




I also finally got to trying out the OSL I learned at last year's Adepticon and finished painting the Mandrakes I'd picked up.
I had planned on running these as Culexus Assassins but I may run them as warp infused Jokero.



And on the assassin kick I painted 3 Malifaux snipers that I picked up to use for extra Vindicare Assassins.


Y'all may remember the Chaplain Land Raider Redeemer from earlier, well it finally got some paint!

Next up? Well stay tuned!

Today sadly I'm iced in but I was able to make some progress on some projects this weekend!
First up I forgot to post this guy last week. He's a terminator armored Malleus Inquisitor with a psycannon.






This model is converted from a Mantic Games, DeadZone Enforcer Captain. I gave him a GK Power Armored Psycannon, a Daemon Hammer, and a back icon.
Next up I painted some henchmen and a Hereticus Inquisitor.

Combi Flamer priests (using the Independent Characters' Fire technique)


Eviscerator Priests


Deamon Hosts (first model is from Cell Games' 1999 Range, second is Malifaux)


Mystic having trouble deciding on colors for him.


I don't know what these guys will be but they looked neat


I based the Mandrakes


Thanks to Ebay I was finally able to get the missing Space Marine Veteran I was after, and I painted an old Master of the chapter

I'm tempted to go through and disassemble all of the old captains and veterans that I have throughout the years to make them into models I will actually use. Hence why I haven't really finished this guy.

And the Finished Inquisitor (again using the Independent Characters' technique)







Next up was working on one of the new knights.
His base is a bit bigger than a trygon/flyer base


Which means it is begging for a conversion





I haven't figured out if he'll be stepping on a Kan or Dreadnought but it will be something orky.

didnt know you had a knight lol

Ghostmaker - Indeed I do! Stay tuned!

I added a kan below the Knight's foot



After setting up my spray booth I set about basecoating the knight


I also finished Captain Invictius




I'm really happy with the face (not so much with the white).

Speaking of spray booths I decided to take some photos of my setup.
Work bench and spray booth.


Computer, scanner, cutter


Bits box



Paints


Books and WIP minis


Finished models (in boxes) and more bits on left and right

Well I finally finished my Imperial Knight.


I also wrote a little blog post about it here with more pictures.
