I'd be interested in some terrain, if you're trying to get rid of stuff.

I'm painting Forge Fathers Stormrage veterans and some old Sedition Wars terrain. Even if the game bombed it's fantastic stuff.

Finished work on a couple of fleabay salvaged vehicles for my budding Thousand Sons force, cheap salvage placeholders until I get better models - originally intended for a 2nd edition project I've never had time for..



There is a Rhino in similar colours, derived from the colours in inferno but adapted to the Mk1 chassis

Painting up some more sewer bases,some i made earlier below,got them World War 2 Mk1 Hurricanes mostly painted,

There's a huge amount I'm trying to offload in one shot, if possible. If you're in CT or areas close to lower CT, we can see about arranging something, but it's just way too weighty to send through the mail.

Yay, all dem 6 Lynxes now have all their fins ... I've still got to magnetize their stands, cleanup and unwarp the gun bits and they'll all be ready for gap filling.

Not doing a whole lot that is directly related to my hobbying, except maybe assembling some stuff, but I have been spending a lot of the day reinstalling everything on my computer. Damn thing quit working right, so I had to reinstall the system software and start all over. All of my files were casualties, unfortunately, but luckily nothing really important (like tax information, etc.) was lost.

I will be working on my looted Imperial Knight, going to add some Taurox missile launchers on each of the shoulders. I'm starting to think I've added too much stuff on him already, so I might have to magnetize them!

Then I just have some fun stuff to do and that's to orkify the last bits and build the base and I will be done!

There is no such thing as too much dakka.

Painting ninjas. Because ninjas.

Work on getting Belial and some Deathwing Knights done. Base colours are on, now it's detail work and cleaning up around the drybrushed areas.

Still working on the five Mark I Immolators. Very slow progress as I often only get 15 minutes a day at best to work on them.

Cheers,

The Tataros terminators and Ahriman from Burning of Prospero primed, and the metallic red added, takes hours to cure though so no more today.

Bit more on my masked men for Test of Honour with the masks into bronze and the armour on the sleeves started

Keep your placeholders and forget about 'better models'. Very nicely done.

I am looking in boxes for things that might become terrain.

I found a bag of marbles! Those could be a thing.

Painting Terminators from my 2016 edition of Space Hulk.

Night and day difference from my 1990 edition.

I really must focus on one of the five Mark I Immolators. To at least get one done and off my desk and build some momentum to get the next done and so on.

Got a little closer to finishing the Mark I Immolators...put on names and started the looking for flaws phase of painting.

Cheers,

Wait... Thats a Russ... You mean the king of 2nd ed. Eldar is going all second ed. Guards on us? I can hardly wait! 2nd ed. was a beautiful time to collect guardies. If that's your plan then this will be awesome.

Finished the first squad in my new marines chapter. They need a name though... So does the chapter.

sculpting the missing pieces for my friends battlemechs,..its going slow two arms for a rifleman, 1 arm for a marauder, 1 arm for a battlmaster, and a griffon, and warhammer (and what is he doing? eating arms??) and a missile pod for a t-bolt....all out of wire and greenstuff.

Pretty well finished the five Mark I Immolators. They still require sealing with some matt varnish. However they are ready to join the one finished Immolator.

Cheers,

Trying to figure out if I want to start an AoS Free Peoples army or a 40k Eldar one.

Hah, actually nope. Another...tangent project.

2nd ed. Chaos Space Marines (predominantly Nurgle/Death Guard) based on HH armour and 3rd party bits (maybe some of the new DG plastics). I happen to hate current Rhinos and couldn't find reasonable old Rhinos...so I'm making Rhino-Russes instead for my Deathguard. My friend is actually doing the same, but she's doing Slaanesh/Alpha Legion marines using HH bits --- also for 2nd ed.

You could get a lot of those bits from the Robotech RPG box, or from Gashapon figures (still around for Dougram-based old school mechs).

Sealed the five Mark I Immolators. Started the last two Sisters with Multi-Meltas and the Converted Repentia Mistress.

Inspired by this
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/715945.page -glorious collection of objective markers!
I've gone and done this

A wee set of ten Necromunda objective markers. I've got fun rules for them all drawn up too and will share all when I have some better photos of them.

@Elbows- I'm really trying not to look too disappointed. The idea of you collecting up some old IG lead and taking it to the 2nd ed tabletop was just a beautiful thought. Perhaps an inspiring one? No?

I am finishing up highlights and assorted features on a model I am entering into the shop's monthly painting comp

Had a look round Campaign 2017. Bought some trees. Played some Dark Souls boardgame. Bought the Shadow War: Armageddon rulebook. Sleeved a bunch of cards. Currently watching Kelly's Heroes and preparing to finish painting the rest of my Sloth abominations for The Others.

Will at least finish building my Varanguard models. Man, those things are intricate. I managed to finish one and a "horse" through the entirety of watching Tropic Thunder last night. Definitely not worth $33 each, but that's why I just traded for em.

Grinding along on this drop pod. The marines had better appreciate it because it's kind of a pain.

Going to be blue eventually. I'm hoping it will be a proof of concept for my scheme working on larger vehicles and not a waste of effort.
