Found the lost head and gravchute, fixed the models, yay

Still painting the Avenger Strike Fighter. Base coat and first couple of highlights done, debating on how much weathering to do now.

Cheers,

Finishing up my first rules draft, and painting more KSons. I literally have piles of unpainted MK IIIs left. Oh, and ordering eldar.

After finishing off the Dark Angels, it's back to Guard this week. A couple Vostroyan Snipers, three Elysian Tauros and a Baneblade - most of which are already partially painted.

It's a cool sunny day, so perfect weather to finish spraying the rest of my Shadow War terrain too.

Painted up my first Chaos Space Marines (yes, ever!)

Love the Mechanicus heads on those guys!!

I am trying to get the foundations of things built so that way once 8th drops I can hit the ground runnning.....So things like getting Chassis built, Models assembled without weapons, etc. ALL OF THE PRIMING

Thanks, Leth. I don't like the MkIII helmet and I found that the vanguard helmet has a very classical "sallet" helmet look which works really well with the armour. Also the vanguard head is a bit small, making the marine look more in scale with its armour (I find). Happy with the result. Have some more on the way.

Yeah I was really happy when I saw that GW is using nearly Identical head sockets for the tempestus scions, the mechanicus, and the space marines, makes it so easy to work in headswaps and the like.

Painting more Dark Souls. Need to have Ormstein and Smough finished before Thursday's game.

Assembling gluing and cleaning the mold lines,Off of a Sector Mechanicus Galvanic Magnavent,Some real nice stuff,massive amount of details on the set.

I feel I have finished my Avenger Strike Fighter (might still do some various weapon load outs with magnets...but that is addition and not rebuilding, etc.) so I will post some photos later today in my Sister's PLOG.

Cheers,

CB

Added Photo:

Looks good.

All I've done today is order some high density upholstery foam I hope to turn into hills.

Thanks Elbows,

Taking photos of my Sisters of Battle Army as it is completed.

That is a very nice Avenger, perhaps something over the decals would help with the very slight silvering, assuming the human eye can see it that is. Love the colours though, and beautifully done.

Here, painted another 10 MkIII marines to add to the others so thats the MkIII from Burning of Prospero built and painted, thinking of picking up a second box later in the week

Hey everyone, working on making a hobby kit for a 6 year old who likes building stuff. Anyone with kids have any recommendations on models and basic supplies to include?

Was thinking a knife, clippers, glue, some paints and the like but anyone with kids I would appreciate your input.

Other than that enjoying the weather and getting things primed!!

Personally at age six, I'd leave out the knife/clipped and maybe handle that for them. I'd imagine any of the starting kind of paint kits would work.

A work surface (i.e. a cutting mat), some towels, cheapo brushes, etc.

I've just realized I have Mordheim coming up next weekend so I'm trying to throw together another terrain piece or two. Going through another batch of wood rods, foamcore, and a bunch of coffee stirrers. This will be rushed, unfortunately.

I've just returned to the hobby properly for the first time in... oh, about two years? I've decided that with a new 40K on the way it's time to stop mucking around, put together the IG kits I still have sitting in my room and finish that army once and for all.

So far, that's involved the construction of a Chimera chassis and the slight cutting of one thumb due to clumsiness. Hopefully this isn't a case of starting as I mean to continue...

One thumb per vehicle...yeah you'll be hurting.

painting a small freeguild force to try out in AoS skirmish when it hits, hoping its better than AoS normal.

As a hobby veteran I am down to once per blade which is right after I swap in a new one and forget so I use my thumb as a stopper...

Thanks leopard,

While the silvering is only visible in natural light and close up I will fix that with some extra paint. That is a result of the Hard-Coat to protect the decals from sealant and the softener not doing it's job properly.

So if I have time, some final touch-ups on the Avenger.

Cheers,

Today's goals...prime some crumbled walls...finish detailing and maybe prime one piece of mordheim terrain. Buy some wood rods and make about a half dozen ladders and some more walkways - probably primed them as well.

Hopefully, make some progress on my 2nd mordheim piece which hit a standstill last night.

Oh, and maybe assemble a few more Chaos marines since I found six more bases hiding on my hobby desk.

I just received my order from Ebay; 4x Aberrants for my side project Gene-cult. Other than that, I got painted 3 more genestealers for my Nids. I am very excited as they released Faction Focus rumours for new edition Nids.

Achieved so far:

-Built and primed five ladders.
-Built and primed 10 different wall sections.
-Built and primed three walkways.

Hope I can keep it up!

still finishing painting kill teams for SW:A and small freeguild for AoS skirmish.

Working in my battle damaged Tau.... Oh the fun in the controlled destruction of a model

Painted at game night instead of gaming beuase im at "Eff it" mode with 7th
Im also getting around to building a special carrying case using these
http://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Storage-Organization/Stack-Carry-2-Layer-Handle-Box/p/42218
and some magnetic sheets
coming out to like 30$. Cheaper then a normal case and im mostly using it for around town and storage

I'll be working on some Vostroyan Snipers tonight. Hoping to finish at least one of the three.

Also sketching out colour schemes and emblem ideas for my Primaris chapter.

Well, Im gonna try to finish my last veteran, paint a seeker and hopefully start playing around with my concept art for our game.

Glued all my Stormtroopers on their bases, alongside their cables, they are now ready to not be painted.
