Assembling a number of Warlord Games Celts base troops

Painting my unit of Reaper Miniatures Fairies

Basing and putting the final touches on my Cave Drake

Then trying to work out what next to include in my makeshift Albion Fantasy Army

Dug up my Essex miniatures 15mm New Kingdom Egyptians and finished assembling them, discovered my basing filler is like stone (its 2 years old so fair enough really) and started painting some that were based back in 2015 when I last looked at these guys.

Trying to remember exactly how I did the skin tones

Almost done the Vostroyan Snipers.



After that, it'll be back to work on the Tauros and maybe get started on the Baneblade.

I finished building/priming/painting my 10 walls...and then took a left turn and assembled six more marines for my death guard 2nd ed. force. Painting that mordheim terrain tomorrow methinks.

Counted out my collection, and came to terms with my shame. Not counting various stuff for Warhammer Fantasy that I now consider defunct, painted or not, and some odd things like 4-5 orks, 6 necrons, and some Inquisition stuff...

I have 141 painted models... and need to paint 319...

This is after a several month buying freeze...

And I also painted my Corvus Blackstar! Got to make a dent in that backlog...

I don't know if anyone remembers him, but my last post was of dejection after my work in progress daemon prince got crushed by a small child.

Sadly I couldn't recover all the pieces, but I've rebuilt him as best as I can (included badly sculpted feet) and tidied up most of the chips and so on.



I still need to decide what to do with the cables and possibly add a green glow to his chaos star. I was initially worried about the missing original horn, but actually really like how his wonky horns have turned out now. I'm thinking of adding a fireball or something to replace his missing index/middle finger on his left hand. That said, I don't want to put too much work into the model, it's really only a counter for characters that have 'hulked out' thanks to the chaos champion table. I'm happy how his legs turned out; they are actually DP arms!!

I was really struggling with what to do for his black 'armor'. I'm not used to painting miniatures of this size. I ended up selectively applying a coat of gloss to hide my lack of talent, and was wondering if the effect turned out okay?

Finished the Dark Souls heroes ready to take on Ormstein and Smough tomorrow.

Nazis... The usual.

...

Ah, I mean making a WWII era radio controlled bomb called the "Springer" and its larger predecessor. Not for any foreseeable gaming purpose, just for the sake of having one. The same reason why I have more tanks than I do have infantry squads.



Yeah, I'll never get around to actually playing a game of Bolt Action at this rate. Well, maybe Tank Wars. Wait, no. In a 2000pts game of that I'd be running like 3 tanks. ...I have a thing for the heavies.

I am trying to assemble my storm eagle, anyone have the instructions by chance?

Made my own decals, Was AWESOME
Now I just need to fine a white Scars Decal sheet, but I have a feeling I wont :(

Nothing today, resting on my laurels after finishing another army. But I will be back at it soon enough, have some Elysians that still need to be finished. The long painting war is never over!

Cheers,

Picked up some EAVY METAL (sheet metal) for my magnetic cityfight necromunda table.


gona be fun on the bun gluing those to its backer.

Planning on getting some more work done on my Tablescape, getting basecoats down on 2 Landraider Phobos, and maybe getting a start on assembling 2 Kharybdis pods.

Working on this.

I am trying to figure out a way to make a mushroom person out of scraps and junk. I have... a plan.

I had to go and get some Vallejo Game Color to replace my old GW Catachan Green and Yellow Sand...both of which proved to be unrecoverable.

Cheers,

CB

Finishing two small units of archers for an ancient Egyptian force in 15mm.

Needs a bit of colour, likely on the headdress

My Eaglemoss Batmobile turned up today. It looks pretty neat and around the right scale.





What's got me wondering though, is do I base it? The second pic there has it raised on some spare bases, where, if I got some proper ones (maybe like GW's flying base?), it might make it fit in more.

I also figure I might nuln oil the bare metal parts here to tie it all together..

Putting together CompanyB's new E-50 Ausf. M. ...This thing's big.

working on my RoB board...a never ending task it seems.

Painting a custodes captain while my family watches the FA Cup final.

shadow war armageddon match between orcs and csm, while also trying to finish up some terrain.

Due to nieces handball tournament hobby time today was less than stellar(did get lots done on thursday-saturday though) but have worked upon on about 30 or so bases for my sons of horus.

These are eating the gale force 9 concrete rubble mix like desert water though. Need to order more I think. Need to base like over 70 infantry plus couple contemptor's so...

Also did quick airbrush test for blood angel model. Didn't turn out that well but maybe bit glaze/wash might help. Plus more practice. Maybe need to look at some other colours too. Khorne red+evil sunz scarlet might not be optimal.

ended up with two matches, Word bearers vs Bad moons, twice... lost one, "Tied" one. great time all around! space marines can be lucky and tough sob's. cultists...not so much, but hey, they die for the glory of chaos, so no worries.

Gullimans Gold Trim.........Its not even mine. its my friends.....I might not give it back.......

Polearms for the Mantic Orcs Army Goreriders finally done.

Putting the finishing touches on Longstrike's Hammerhead.

Filing mould lines off of Tallarn model after Tallarn model... with a couple inquisitors and commissars thrown in the mix. Only 34 more to get onto bases and than I start on the 20 Roughriders and two Leman Russes. Joy haha.

I can't wait to start basing them, found a company that makes 25mm and 25x50mm round lipped bases, so that's what everything is going on.

Working on some French for my Alt-History WWII project. At this point I've started on a AMX Tank Destroyer, with plans for the conventional tank (when the parts show up). I'm going to have a look out for some of Warlord's Project Z Specs as well to use as armatures for soldiers in NBC suits with Gerat 06 rifles. Ah, see they're going to be Vichy French.

Putting highlights on a Baneblade and working on some terrain (ruins, craters).
