Redoing the bases of my minefield markers and about to make a start on a Scion.

Also painted up a Highlander 'mech.

Kitbashing Oathmark Heavy Infantry into White Lions. Just adding some cloaks from Fireforge Teutonic infantry and Victrix Fantasy sprues to the axe wielding Heavy Infantry. Working well so far, the cloaks stick out a bit which looks cool but I'm having to be careful with how I put them on their bases to allow for ranking up.

I'm really pleased with how the North Star kits are looking so far, and I am going to test fit some north star cavalry elves onto mantic barded horses to see if I can maintain the cohesive look for the army while remaining WYSWYG.

Last night I built my elf chariots using the skeleton chariots from Wargames Atlantic and their horses. They fit perfectly onto the yokes for the skeleton chariots which is great. The biggest PITA was cutting the puddle bases off the warriors I'm using as chariot crew, but I managed it with only one foot damaged that I rebuilt with a bit of shaved plastic. Keeping them off the chariots for now so I can paint them all before gluing everything down.

I'm getting ever more excited about the prospect of a finished High Elf army as I go, I wanted a "Good Guy" army to do intro games with and I felt my Dwarves were not the best choice because they don't really let you play the whole game. High Elves have a little bit of everything and are nice and elite, so doing an intro game of Goblins vs. High Elves should have the right classic feel and aesthetic but also give my opponent a chance to try out all the different unit types.

Tonight I will build Kravek Morne.

Finished painting a Krieg Commisar

I've been working on making a custom 3d printed nightlords predator tank. It's just your standard 30k demos pattern, but I'm adding spikes, skulls, and other iconography to it. ( and to those that complain its 3d printed, does have some Games Workshop plastic on it. The main section of this front spike is actually from a rhino or some other sort of vehicle, and some of the spikes are made from sprue). I'm also going to 3D print a Nightlord's logo for the back ramp/door thing.

Wrapped up the minefield markers and about done with this Scion.



Next up, priming some random pieces of Volkus terrain, for that next rainy day off.

I was able to pick up some old metal LOTR Ringwraiths on Ebay relatively cheap because they were missing their arms.

Luckily I already had some with arms so I can cast replacements in greenstuff. The last one of which I just finished. Now it's just a matter of putting them all together and basing them. Soon I will have 9 mounted Ringwraiths to go with my 9 unmounted ones.

White Lions regiment is finished now, just digging out my unpainted Island of Blood to have a look at them. I'm going to add 6 North Star Swordmasters to the unit from IOB and 2 Sea Guard. They'll be a lot less fancy but I'll put them at the back of the unit and I think it'll be okay. I'm also planning on using spare parts from the Pheonix Guard kit to add two more to that unit, but that will involve greenstuffing some cloaks I think.

But not far from having all the infantry done.

As a complete surprise, tonight I will be building my MTO Steel Rook & Kroot Hunter!

They just arrived. No shipping notice, no tracking #. And at least a month earlier than I expected mto wise.
Also no invoice in/on the box.

Finished the Despoilers! A good day.

Next up a Land Raider Explorator. I've already built and basecoated it alongside another tank in advance (basecoating both together saves time), so it's moving right on to the edge highlighting stage of the armour plating, then the steel and other details.

Worked on the Volkus scatter terrain and primed a pair of Scions along with a Kasrkin sergeant, will see if I can get them done this weekend.

Also made a start on reading Hot Spots: Draconis Reach, looks like I'll be rebooting the campaign at some point for sure now.

Continuing to replace Imgur links to Dakka saved ones. Orks are done, half way through the Eldar.

Today was a bit of a slog - I had two pretty brief bits of free time to work and I tried to get some assembly done.

I'd glued my Swordmasters to 25mm rounds thinking I would use them for LOTR. But I've decided to use them for WFB, so I've had to submit to my most hated activity- rebasing! I got all 10 of them done in one sitting.

Then tonight I sat up way too late when everyone was asleep making 10 Phoenix Guard. I like these guys, but assembly is a pain. The torso doesn't seem to sit properly on the legs, and you've got to be very careful with all the halberds, winged helms and cloaks to make sure they can rank up.

I'm gonna bulk up both units with some Oathmark Heavy Infantry and some spare halberds and winged helms. Should get to 16 Swordmasters and 12 Phoenix Guard. All I have to do then is rebase my Seaguard and I'm done with High Elf infantry.
