Working on a small winter woodland board. It's all ready to go except the pond in the center, the crap I'm using for water is curing. Will require more attention after it has cured too but as soon as I can move the board I'll be able to gear up for gluing down the trees and snowing the whole thing.

Painting the last halberdiers in my Empire---- Sorry, uhh.... "Freeguild army" and a LRBT unit for my AM.

Played BB with Orks vs Skaven.
The Gutter Runner are a pain. Just blocking the enemy is not enough to win the game.

Painted a battery of 2S1 and BM-21 for team yankee, not finished yet, have gotten as far as the oil wash. Also decals and the oil wash on my Su-25 to get them ready for a large team game next weekend.

Today, I'm putting some more work in on my Chaos Knight. He's almost ready to be put together, which will mean I can actually use him in games. I'm also assembling some tactical marines for my Battle Company.

I am trying out many and varied shades of red paint, looking for the perfect color. i used to have a wonderful dark red that went on smooth and perfect, but i cannot for the life of me remember the name or how to find it.

This is my quest.

Played my first game of BB as an owner of the new game (had only played one learning game of BB with a previous edition). I fielded humans and he brought skaven. I got crushed but it was still a lot of fun.

Started assembling the termies from Prospero last night.

Planing some nurglings for the Dakka painting comp. And hopefully playing a game of 30k.

Went to a store opening and froze a bit. Got a swell Ultramarines artwork, a tyranid codex signed by Jes Goodwin, the store captain, another BaC and a VV box. Got my stamp card all filled out for that boss chaplain when they get them in stock.

Good day for hobbyinh, bad day for wallet. Finally have 20 Cataphractii, over a hundred mark 4s, and more contemptors than I can shake a stick at.

Will probably work on turning one into telemarchus and use the others as cortuses. Corti?

Wow. Mind giving me some?

The nurglings have not been stated, its to cold to spray paint here. So im stuck writing army lists for my HH 1k Sons and figuring out how im going to get parts from the new Rubric squads without buying the full box.

I finally finished painting Magneto. - I started him back in July!




It also means, I've now finished painting a fully fledged playable X-Men tournament sized force for Marvel. - The first time I've completed something like that for a game since 2014.

Doesn't it feel awesome to complete something?? I had mine complete. Until I got the brotherhood and Jean at the same time. Haha. And Prospero and Calth stuff to work on.

I'm working on some Plaguebearers today. My girlfriend loves them, so I'd be remiss in my boyfriendly duties if I painted something else. Lol

I've still not finished the rest of the Brotherhood (only Sabretooth), any of my Avengers, or the rest of my X-Men.

Emma Frost, Vision, Hulkbuster, Hawkeye and Hulk aren't even undercoated. - Though the rest are basecoated at least.

I might get brave enough now to try to do some painting of Dropfleet COmmander. Maybe finish my test scheme of my PHR first though.

You need two Emma Frost models. One for Diamond-form, one for regular. Be hardcore!!!

Haha, that does sound like the way to do it TTW, kinda pricey since its KM but still.

I may have actually finished, or at least 'soft finished', my first complete game board in forever. I mean I've had enough disparate terrain to allow for games, but I've been playing off of mats or felt for a long time. It's only a 3x3' woodland snow board, but that's fine for Pulp Alley and a lot of other skirmish if you fiddle with the deployment zones. It would be very easy to add on additional sections in the future too as I made everything very square and sharp (a huge accomplishment for me ) and right at 36x36" with a super easy to replicate height/thickness.

Waiting for the board-wide coat of snow mix to dry...and then we'll see how she looks. Still need to do some game-specific snowy scatter terrain which is why I say 'soft finished'.

Well, I'm the nutcase who has 2 Magneto models (one Marvel Now, one regular), 2 Cyclops models, 2 Emma models, 2 Wolverine models and 2 Deadpool models. Granted, only Mags and Emma were purposeful duplicates. But hey. I'll duplicate Nightcrawler in X-Force as soon as Betsy and Warren get made.

I now have new:

Glue
Clippers
Pin vise
Files

Now I'm ready for my Dropfleet delivery tomorrow

If I can ever make the Thunderbolts or the X force that is deadpool, psyloke, phantomex, etc... I'll probably start that game.

I am taking the time of a snow day off of work to paint, paint, and paint. And also keep the faucet dripping so that the pipes don't freeze.

But mainly I am painting! Archers galore.

I'm avoiding painting more Trollbloods and trying to clean mold lines off my old Battletech models after work.

Building a new permanent wargames table in the roof.

Finally picked up a paint brush after they came out of hiding after seeing Botlte's and Matt's work.

If I get my ass off the couch building my Grey Company minis for LotR. Real tempted to put them on round lipped bases. They look really nice on them. Hope people won't object.

Working on either my land raider or on Blackwater Gulch.

Also making a run to hobby lobby once traffic settles down a tad.

I played an awesome game of Marvel Universe tonight, unfortunately my photo completely failed. Really annoying considering both had painted teams.

As well as that, in honour of Thursday, I put this together as my first Dropfleet Commander Space Station.

Assembled:

2x UCM Toulon Frigates
2xUCM New Orleans Frigates
1xUCM Seattle Carrier

Those little antennae will be the death of me.

Slapping together some MK3 Marines for my Ultramarines, and contemplating the virtues of using my copy of BoP to make a 30k "army" (40k Marine army painted as a 30k legion)

Since my new winter woodland board is finished, I set some models up and took a few photos.



More on the blog, last page.

Probably do some more scenery but as it's nearly 11, that'll be what I'm doing tomorrow

Dude, that's awesome!!

Since it's been cold/wet/rainy here and no spraying is possible I've been slowly finishing up re-basing my 30-40 Old West figures to my new basing style. May start on my second squad of old metal Dire Avengers (running out of primed stuff).
