Dropped an old painted model into Simple Green to re-cycle and re-paint.

Finally started painting the ogroid thermatuge From warhammer quest , after finishing ork boar riders.

Been remarkably scared of starting this miniature.

Continuing working on my DV chaos stuff, more or less sorted the Tamiya clear red now, any area bigger than a postage stamp = mask and airbrush, smaller than that and three thin coats with a brush works well enough (thankfully).

Cultists in progress, had tried pre-shading with the airbrush and glazes, gave up on that when it didn't work too well and back to normal painting as yet.

Finishing off my Darkoath Chieftain from Silver Tower. After that moving onto the Knight-Questor and maybe the Doomseeker.

Working on my 30k Imperial Fists and World Eaters out of my BaC models.

Started painting the Circle starter box.

Continued building the GSC from Overkill (while waiting patiently for my latest order with a box of the Neophyte to arrive) and painting on the Magus...

Working on the robe nearly finished (painting purple is nowadays rather easy) and dreading to continue on the next stages...

More terrain! Also I have a Stormcast model I got from that "Start Collecting" magazine thing GW put out a few weeks ago. I think I'll paint him up for kicks.

Working on my Crisis Bodyguard team. If that gets done, I'm going to start on my Breachers.

Picked up Warhammer Quest hero cards pack and two sets of the GSC dice from the local comic store today.

Assembled some mod cubes!

My wife is painting some armored walkers for Konfliked '47.

I am painting a very cool Franken Stien conversion I bought on EBAY for $10usd.
Remember the back patches everybody was wearing on jean jackets in the '80's? I'm gonna have this Frank with a AC/DC back patch.

AC/DC. Get it?

Played an awesome game of Triumph & Treachery AoS and now prepping 30K Death Guard to battle the Emperor's Children tomorrow.

Thanks

Played my third or so solo game of Execution Force last night. I had been playing it incorrectly (drawing room tiles incorrectly and applying damage wrong---both because I was making assumptions instead of reading RAW).

Last night's game, I managed to win without losing any of the assassins in the process. That counts as two 'achievements'.

Has anyone in this thread had experience with Mantic/Deadzone models? Looking at picking up a set of Enforcers, but would like some community feedback first. Been exploring some non-GW options, enjoying Maelstroms Edge currently. Mantic is cheaper than GW, but is there a significant drop off in quality?

Just built my first Games Workshop set in 4 years! Was the space marine command squad and captain box, really impressed with the captain model

Swished a jar of acetone that has Ahriman quietly forgoing his paint on.

Discovered the lid wasn't on right, then discovered how fast acetone evaporates. Also discovered cats don't like the smell, will file that one for the future.

Also assembled 10 Chaos Space Marines, discovering as I did so that I have no fething idea how to equip them.. close combat load out it is then. Will prime them tomorrow, and continue to finish the cultists etc from DV.

The older restic enforcers can be a royal pain to pose (especially the arm/gun assembly) but look pretty good once built. The newer plastics are easier to build but a little softer in detail. Still look ok once built and painted though. The pic below is some raw resin and newer plastic enforcer parts. The other one is some I did mostly with a silver primer spray and black wash (so the detail is sharp enough to hold a wash well).

Yeah, the old restic multipart enforcers are a pain in the rear.

The hard plastic Enforcer sprues are pretty neat though. - I will say though I can never quite decide if I should cut off the front of their neck or not.


The hard plastic Enforcer Peacekeepers are pretty darn great though, I'm a big fan of them.




The guy on the right in this pic is a plastic Enforcer, with resin shotgun and shield. The guy on the left is the restic Enforcer special character for Dreadball

Pondering making this, but in WWII for my alternative history Germans (using a Rubicon tracked Opel Blitz + an obsolete Panzer hull). ...Because I' super sensible.

Working on the BA sternguard more. Gold is highlighted and done, and got the base coat of silver on. Black base coat, some washes, and highlighting left. So many red models...

Contemplating going to pick up a stud finder and level so I can put up the metal organizer shelf for the paint pots. It will be nice to have more of my table open to hold WIPs. The tablet and the unfinished Imperial Knight take up a lot of room

This guy. The armour is a bit gaudy, but Slaanesh.

Continued painting Pureblood, Gorax, and Argus from Circle starting box.

Undercoating a Vyper, Mad Missionary Jacobus, some Rogue Trader Eldar, and a bunch of Stormcast and Bloodbound.

Then I might actually try and make progress on those "*!**£"! Fire Dragons.

CSM primed.. no more due to a meeting overrunning and thus late home.

Also discovered just how badly I need to clear the table of half finished stuff just to make space to have some more half finished stuff

painting and assembling. Reading up for another podcast interview on Death Guard 30K

Trying to recruit each of my players to build two PDF buildings each, for a Mordheim campaign - in theory, this will give us two dozen models.

My actual expectation is that we will have a dozen models, mostly built by three players.
