Got a game in (my Chaos lost badly to White Scars) and finished my Dire Avengers. Going to get some base colours done on a Wave Serpent while i watch football.

I am trying to paint eyeballs. eyeballs on a dog!

i almost wrote that as eyeballs on a god

Finished painting/dipping five metal Space Marine scouts and an old metal Chaplain. Painted 85% of the Apothecary but his jump pack needs re-spraying so I set him down till tomorrow.

Posted several bits on the Oldhammer blog and kicked around ideas with a friend for our 2nd ed. retromod.

Played abit with the 2 X-Wing core sets I got this Christmas and already impulse ordered an A, B, Z-95, TIE fighter and TIE Interceptor when I seen them cheap.

Also trying to get the white dots just right on my flicked paint X-Wing mat. Not enough medium dots for my liking. Going to try remedy this by going around the edge with a bit more paint on toothbrush this time.

Procrastinating on whether to add some foliage to some transitional winter/ spring camo. ...I just really want to add some to a Jagdpanzer, but it'd set it apart from every other vehicle in my force.

Staring at the models on my paint table and wondering when I'm going to get to them as I play Skyrim again.

I'm bad at staying motivated sometimes.

Finally got a spare 10mins to finish off posing my hybrid Dust Tactics / Imperial heavy trooper bannerman..... Base finished off also.. jst need to finish painting some details and then... the banner itself...

Finished the pelt on my grey hunter squad. Only some details remaining and my squad will be completed.

Going to tackle a Phoenix Lord tonight...finished a Techmarine earlier today.

I've spent a couple of evenings writing a battle report. Green Arrow versus the Suicide Squad.

If something else doesn't crop up to take my money tomorrow, I may do a rather silly thing and buy two Maus tanks. ...I hate the look of that thing, but ...its a Maus. I already have a load of alt-history German tanks, so it'd just be wrong not to have one. ...I only suggest two though because I'm wondering how Warlord's new one compares against Blitzkrieg's (and well I don't want to cheat on Blitzkrieg for a younger model you see).

Meanwhile JTFM Enterprises have been being a pair of gits and hinting that they may have an E-100 planned. That tank being the *ahem* sexier...I mean a more streamlined version of the Maus which was just as far into production by the end of the war (though sadly didn't receive as much special treatment, despite the whole E-series' premise of being more practical versions of existing tanks > which to waffle a bit, had repercussions with today's universal battle tank designs).

Put the first is he'd touches to my epic reaver titan plus started assembling tons more epic ready for the paint station lol.

My next ZM tile will be started, an I hopefully won't summon any horrors, pink or blue, with my pentagram

Frostgrave!!!

Making something along the lines of this thing. The Soviets made use of truck bodies mounted on light tanks throughout WWII, up until the present actually. Maybe in an alternative history timeline the Germans may have done the same for out in the Eastern Front?

I bought me an IK Warden, yesterday.
Didn't know that you can build all five IK's with the box.

I was going to pick up my Lizard TAG, but I forgot my money when I went to my FLGS (usually its the other way round)

Slowly painting through the Hell club for The Others.

May have accidentally bought some more Walking Dead minis as well.

My Warpath KS showed up last week and it had 6 battlegroups. So, I'm assembling all of that and the 2 Deadzone KS stuff that has been in boxes for a couple of years...

This is my first dip into Mantic's world. Are all of their minis' parts grouped (in other words, these legs go with this torso, go with these arms, etc)?

I didn't realize this and clipped off 6 frames worth of their space elves and realized parts aren't interchangeable. So, that was a fun afternoon

Painted most of two Dwarf Trollslayers...got bored...stripped down five Terminators I received today from eBay and assembled/clipped/sanded them for priming. The night is young so I may do a bit more on...something.

Listening to multiple podcasts and YouTube shows
played first game using my new 40K Thousand Sons...and learned a lot
watched Warhammer Live Heat event (games 2 & 3)
Finished reading Fall of Cadia
prepped batreps from games using Bellasarius Cawl & Magnus
Reading up on some new FAQs
registered my Norse team *Blood, Beer & Beyond* for int'l BB league run by GW

I just played in a tournament today (well, yesterday as it is after midnight as I write this). As usual, I won 1 game and lost the other two. I was running pure Daemonkin (CAD w/Khorne Knight and Gorepack). The first game was my only win, and it was against an Ultramarines list with two CADs and an Imperial Knight Crusader. I don't feel that I beat my opponent as much as his dice just didn't go his way. Second game was against that formation of Magnus and 3 DPs, along with a Daemons CAD with a Tzeentch Herald, 2 units of Blue Horrors, and a bunker. Let's just say that I found out that Magnus' reputation is well deserved, although I don't feel that he's completely OP. It was just a bad matchup for me, nothing more. Third game was against Eldar. List was a Warhost with Pale Court and Aspect Host as auxiliary (total 30 warp spiders ), a CAD, and a Dark Eldar Corpsethief Claw formation. I mostly got my army shot away before they could come to grips with the Eldar, although my Knight did manage to charge the Talos engines on the first turn and, over the next 3 turns, slowly grind them down. It was still pretty one-sided against me, though. My main takeaway is that pure KDK can't really compete with the top tier armies, although it is super fun to play. I really need to finish putting my Sorcerers together and try a Cabal-star list. Maybe that would do better.

Finally built GSC Goliath. Not a fan of the order in which you have to build its front section. Grrr.

Trying to get in a game or two at the FGS this afternoon.

Started to assemble a IK Warden magnetizing the weapons. Lot of work.

Test painting Thousand Sons rubrics model. Sadly left some crucial paints at home while away, so that's a hiccup. But test model, based on Dec WD paint splatter, going well. Had I known The Duncan method released in his video after I started painting this scheme I would have done that. Too late now. But turning out well.

Finished a Wave Serpent and now I'm working on a few Guardsmen.

Played my first (and likely last) game of 7th edition. Helped a buddy test his 1000 point list while we also introduced a newbie to 40k. Newbie wound up buying a starter Tau army after my buddy loaned him Tau for our coaching game.

7th just seems too Frankensteined to me.

I've got glue all over my hands aaaaauuugh

I put together a building with lots of little stick parts and it was a huge pain and glue... everywhere.

Augh.

Assembling some MK3 Marines from BoP

Also got to play several games and made modifications to my fluff for my army based on them.
