I have painted the basics on ten plague... guys. Now I am going to make my own nurgling bases because i got a bunch of those adorable little guys from bits bags. So many.

I'm still contemplating a 40k Loyalist World Eater or 40k Loyalist Emperors Children army

Finished my assault marines. after adding blood effects as fie they hit a guy and blood splurted onto them(Used Blood for the Blood God) alot of blemishes get hidden and they look dynamic. Now onto my 32 IG models. Got the special primer.
Gonna dip them, I learned dipping models can be a legitimte way to paint.

Fixing up a Lockheed starfighter
"You've asked for more refueling and we're giving it to you"

Finished assembly of the last two cruisers for the PHR starter (Icarus and Theseus).

Based a full plastic kit of Cygnar trenchers for Warmachine.
Despite 3+ hours of scraping mould lines off the damned things I found plenty more need doing.
Grrr.

Unpacking unbuilt models and paint pots from two years in storage crates.
Mostly needing to make the stacks of models look small so my wife won't start nagging that I should finish all of them before buying anything new.

Also dusting off some Sentinels that have been on display in a shelf for a few months.

OJJ

Found some september issue White Dwarfs at a newsagent so people I know are getting the totally $50AU slaughterpriest for christmas!

Keeping one for myself, probably use it in frostgrave.

This is going to look good eventually. ...I promise.



A Panther II with a cast hull (made in Czechoslovakia), and Tiger II style side skirts and turret.

...I have a Panther fetish

Assembled a slaughterpriest and then primed it with a bad pot of imperial primer. Knew being out of spray primer was a bad oman.

Spent the next half hour scratching it off with a toothbrush trying not to break the finer parts of the mini.

Contemplating a Space Wolves army now

Killed 2 Wraithknights with the Possessed Formation today, now i'm mast****ing furiously & converting my Maulerfiend #3

Masticating?

Built the SoSs from Prospero and did an edge highlight on one of the box's termies. Going to try to get everything at least built by New Year.

Started to finally assemble my dreamforge APC. Decided I need to buy 3-4 more, plus the upgrades... plus already started planning a conversion for one.

Kit is simply fantastic compared to anything GW.

Getting the silver done on my land raider Proteus whilst making cakes for Christmas.

Finished my Cataphractii Captain for my Void Kraken Space Marines. Going to probably work on either my Deffwotch some more and/or put together some Tau Breachers still on sprue after work.

Officially started work on my Porphyrion, having pinned both feet, hinged the knees and stuck together the cockpit section.

Bit more on some 15mm SS, also putting a PRP-4 together and a bit of paint for my Team Yankee force, figured a proper observer may improve my artillery performance (it could hurt).


Loving SS camo in 15mm.. looks good when its done though.

Got in two games with Haley2.

First game was a win against Skorne when my opponent didn't realize his warlock was in range of my TA'ed Stormwall's guns and he didn't have any transfers.

Second game was a loss against Legion because I didn't understand the scenario parameters, and allowed myself to be killboxed.

Well, I fully assembled the pieces for my Dreamforge APC. Didn't put the troopers together, but those can always be added later.

Hopefully tonight, I will be able to spend some time masking out the pieces that aren't together so I can get it primed next week sometime.

Built my first custodes model. Its parts have parts.

Assembling some MK3 Marines for either my Ultramarines or for a new Chapter

Will unshelf my Eldar army and go again to battle with them. Therefore I reread the codex.
Not sure what to field. But definitely only the models I like.

Spending a while procrastinating on how to make a Rammtiger on the Tiger II chassis along with giving it a troop compartment and a turret mounted light autocannon.

...Till I gave up with that and just turned the thing into a Jagdtiger with an extended super structure instead.

Gamer problems. ...Not average gamer problems, but gamer problems nonetheless.

Collecting exciting bits of packaging materials for basing and terrain!

Painted... honest to gourd painted... today... been soooo long... felt good...

Just starting to add some red to my army's captain...

Finished assembling a unit of Wolves of Orboros including UA.

Merry Christmas and I want to take a moment to thank every body who updates this thread. Whether it is to post progress pictures or simply describe what they have recently been doing my visits to this thread have always upped my hobby mojo!

Lets hope for 2017 this thread maintains its spunky vigour!

Today I took the rare quiet opportunity to paint some tendons on the unarmoured daemon prince neck to look a bit more like cabling. Sadly hobby time has been really lacking recently. I didn't even ask for anything hobby related for christmas because I already am struggling to deal with what I have in stock!

Today lifted my hobby spirits as it is good to make progress of any kind!

As for the reclaimed packaging/etc from Christmas day? I'm going to be turning them into scenic pieces for my future imperial guard. I will be making sets of three pill boxes, which hopefully also will be able to double up as heavy weapon team squads!

I've had five stripped/re-based cowboys sitting on my desk for a week. That or the guardian weapon crew. I'll try to do something to one of those.

Also, working on my next game project (yay...another 2-3 years!)
