Yeah you certainly achieved your desired increase in quantity without sacrificing quality! A great selection of minis throughout the year. The purple Titan, Void dragon or Eltharion would be my favourites

Wow, you've had a really productive year! The additions to the Lions are probably my favourites but I've also enjoyed the blood bowl minis too. 400 this year?

Great year - well done.

Really great to see everything together and I may steal your monthly pic idea this year, it makes the recap much easier.
And I'm actually hoping for some more Marvel Crisis Protocol minis this year after seeing Thanos again.

You got the touch, man. You got the power. Astounding output for the quality. Can't wait to see what the new year brings.

Cheers everyone, it has been a slow start to the painting year for me so far. But Maharg...400 minis this year? Not a chance. I am giving myself no targets or resolutions this year, I am just going to take my time and enjoy what I am doing.

To that end I turned 39 yesterday, a nice low key lockdown birthday with a few miniature based gifts from my wonderful better half:



The 40k needs no explanation, but I got a number of Warlord Games Dr Who minatures to paint up as well as K9 and a Tardis.

Anyway I got my last 4 members of the Liche Angeles Lurkers painted up and the 2 re roll counters painted up as well:









And the team:



In line with painting up projects I enjoy I decided to make January Adeptus Titanicus month, so set about making the 11 kits I had left to make up:

1 Warlord
2 Reavers
2 Warhounds
6 Cerastus Knights

Thus far I have got my 2 Warhounds painted up, one for Legio Mordaxis and the other for Legio Astorum. First up the Mordaxis:







And here he is with the other one I painted February last year:



And my Astorum Warhound:







And with the other from last year:



So 8 miniatures for the year thus far, and I will leave you with a couple of Astorum WIPs:





Thanks for looking

Many happy returns, and a nice haul of plastic crack too!

The undead BB additions are great and I love the name of the undead team, genius! The colour scheme is perfect for them too.

The 2 new warhounds look good alongside their pack mates, great stuff

Stompy bots are a great way to kick off the year. Have I commented on the constellation markings before? They are quite cool.

Happy Birthday ListenToMeWarriors.

Wow, you receiving gaming stuff from your better half?

CB

@Gobert: Thank you Sir.

@YouWasShock: Yeah, I love the constellation marking as well, sadly the much better GW transfer sheet for Astorum is long gone so I am stuck with the basic ones.

@Captain Brown: I know, it is literally all she got me.

So January rolls on and there is more progress. First up is a bit of a curve ball in the form of The Brewmaster Jakkob Bugmansson XI, just a fun sculpt that I bought and painted for no particular reason. Not an amazing job but he looks good enough:







So Adeptus Titanicus crunches on with more Knights and Titans. First up are a pair of Cerastus Knight Castigators to go with my other Knights:









I also completed my Legio Mordaxis thus far with my final Reaver Titan for them, I love him but he is a pain to photograph...ho hum:







That gives me all of these Mordaxis Titans:



So spurred on by my Mordaxis I decided to finish up my Astorum as well, first up is a Reaver with a bit more of a fluid pose than the last stoic one:









Finally that leads me to my Astorum Warlord, Celestial Hammer. I am really happy with the work here and how he turned out, the blue and yellow scheme is just so striking:















So that leads to my Astorum group picture:



And War!



Thanks for looking.

Belated Happy Birthday and nice haul you got there. And already very busy start into the year, love the BB group shot, such a great team in your color scheme.

That’s some great work on the AT stuff, looking fantastic facing off against each other. Hopefully true knights will join them in battle soon.
Brewmaster Bugmansson looks suitably Merry in his paint, nice one!

Celestial Hammer (great name) looks fantastic.

Great variety of minis all painted to a really high standard in here man. Awesome job and thanks for sharing! The big stompy deathbots look great all charging into each other.

Always love stopping by here - thanks for sharing!

Cheers everyone, always great to see you pop by as well Tzurk.

So the end of the month has rolled around already...phew. I have not been too productive but I have gotten a few things done in time for the end of the month.

First up is the Funko Pop! I bought last year...maybe 2019...who knows? Like the Mcfarlane he is obviously a Celestial Lion. Nothing too detailed, nothing too dramatic but fun. Only real thing I done different is a bit of gloss varnish on the eye lenses for added sheen.







I also did a few of the Warlord Games Dr Who Miniatures, what else do I start with but the T.A.R.D.I.S?



And the Thirteenth Doctor in her initial gear, the face is a bit meh but the casting of a decent face is difficult on a real 28mm sized miniature:





Finally I painted up little K9! It looks crap in the photos but fine in real life:



They are off on an adventure together:



And finally a size comparison with a Primaris Intercessor:



And finally my final 4 Knights for Adeptus Titanicus, 2 Lancers and 2 Acheron's, some in Blur O Vision!









That brings me to 24 miniatures painted for the month and my final month picture is this motley crew:



Hang on...what is that behind the Warlord?





A quiet monarch may well be on his way...

I’ve not been too productive he says, then smashes out a funko marine, 4 knights and 3 Doctor Who minis! Cracking stuff as usual LTMW and a good teaser for the Silent King

That's a very fun update. POPmarine is adorable. TARDIS rules. Month-to-date shot is full of good stuff. Necron tid-bits are intriguing.

Cool update and great work with the eyes on the Doctor! Already very excited for the Silent King.

A good haul for this month, well done!

Love the Funko Pop, you've brought the best out of it

Another wave of photos, all very nice ListenToMeWarriors.

Cheers,

CB

Cheers everyone, not really a painting update as Sunday through Wednesday night are my work nights but a tiny WIP on some more Adeptus Titanicus.

It just felt unfair that my Legio Astorum had one less Titan than my Mordaxis, so I bought a Nemesis Warbringer for them. I tried to make a little more movement for this one compared to the stoic pose on my Mordaxis one. I also used a Gatling blaster from the Reaver kit to replace the laser blaster, luckily GW built them to be modular with each other so it was an easy process:




The raised leg striding over a huge rock:



I also bought a box of my favourite Knights the Acastus Knights Porphyrion, as I am never going to have a full sized one...so 2 more teeny tiny ones is fair enough:



I was also gifted with a late birthday present of some Blood Bowl star players from Forge World, so now have Zug, Morg N Thorg and whatever that ace looking Zoat is called. So I expect to be giving them a soapy water bath and clean soon.

Thanks for looking.

Erm....where did February go?

So I have been unintentionally AWOL for a month but here is February in review.

In total I managed to get 23 miniatures done, not great but not terrible either. Here is the months shot:



So what is in there? First up is The Mighty Zug for Blood Bowl from Forge World. I really like this sculpt and enjoyed painting him in my human team red/green and grey scheme:









I also delved into Adeptus Titanicus a bit more with another Warbringer Nemesis Titan, this time for my Legio Astorum:











I also painted up another 2 Acastus Knights Porphyrion:



I also managed to paint up my first Celestial Lion of the year in the form of a Firestrike Servo Turret with autocannons, this was a pig to photograph so apologies for that:









Finally is my Necron overload, so deep breathe, here we have a:

Psychomancer
3 Ophydian Destroyers with a Plasmacyte
3 Scarab Swarms
10 Necron Warriors, my first armed with gauss reapers:













Thanks for looking, I will try and be a bit more active in March!

That Plasmacyte is so adorable Nice haul for the month, still not feeling the marine gun turret, but your color scheme contrasts very nice with the red marine armour.

Good to see you’re still knocking out vast quantities of minis! The Titans look great, as does the turret. Though I agree with Viterbi about the model itself, to me it should be manned by a servitor not a Techmarine. All these people doing the psychomancer are making me want to get one, that digi skull is just too cool!

Always good.

February does seem to have just flashed into the aether. Despite that, you have done another great job on a solid batch of minis. Love Zug.

I really love your necrons. I wasn't going to buy a psychomancer, but your picture changed my mind. Great work!

Thanks everyone, I am actually going to update this thing before the month is out, rejoice!

First up is some of the laziest painting I have ever done...but there is a reason for that. I decided to tackle my Shambling Undead Blood Bowl team, but having already done my Necromantic Horror team I wanted them to look different and inspiration came from the Facebook Blood Bowl group where a poster had displayed their spectral Undead team. The scheme is ghostly and simple. A Wraithbone spray undercoat, followed by a Hexwraith flame/Medium mix and a Ushabti bone drybrush...and basically done. I also added the player name transfers to the bases and I really like the look. Here are the results:









And the full 14 man team with 2 reroll tokens:



I also did a couple of test minis for my Imperial Nobility and am happy with the colour scheme and look:





Finally for painted stuff in this update is the Necron Chronomancer:







I am really happy with him, I think it comes out in the paintjob that he is my favourite of all the Cryptek miniatures in the necron range.

I also decided to add to my Celestial Lions with a few purchases:

Venerable and Ironclad Dreadnought:



Captain and 5 Heavy intercessors:





I bought a Bladeguard Multipart box, together with 2 Indomitus sets and a converted Lieutenant (seen here on the right) it will give me 2 full 5 man units:



Finally I have a new Stormspeeder, but removed the turret based mole marine and covered the area with a spare Rhino hatch and some plastic filler:





Thanks for looking

always good to see your progress LTMW. The Chronomancer sure looks great, the red orbs and purple highlights are especially nice. I like the spectral undead team, incredibly simple, but as you say, very effective. The names on the bases look great too. It’s the Lions I most look forward to, some cool minis incoming too!

Nice blood bowl team their, I can hear scooby doo and shaggy shaking in the van right now . “gggggggggggggggghost”

I went to buy the Bladeguard set at the shop to do a similar build like you, but they were sold out . Nice horde marine army you got going.

Ghost blood bowl team look cool. That scheme always feels like cheating, but it is very effective (looks over to his army of the dead LotR minis ). I envy you the new Space Marine models. Was considering splitting a box with a friend who plays Necrons, but we decided against it. I still have enough marine stuff I want to finish and he doesn't really need the Necron models.

Test scheme for the human players looks great, love the sculpt with the pipe, reminds me of the Unseen Academicals football matches
