Ooooh boye, let's see here.
[Insert an hour of expletive loaded ranting and excuses]
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!
Are you done now?
... I think so.
So what have you been up to?
Expanding my X-wing more, not getting Maul's ship, repaint ing a second HWK-290,winning and losing games of Malifaux, getting the rest of my Zombicide stuff in, finaly starting Rasputina's crew, taking a break on the heroines, and getting rid of some minis I'd never have gotten to.
What did you get rid of and how?
Bones and scrap minis mostly but the second big Abyssal dude was also in there.
WHAT?
Remember the Abyssal that barely went together and needed a lot of GS?
Oh. That one. ... Sorry.
No problem, photo-giraffe time.
Ooh what we got?
Heroines in sensible shoes.


Next the current WIPs


And finaly what I actualy need for a 50ss list that seems decent.


I hope that they'll be getting better basing.
Similar to the jumping acolyte, learning from the mistakes made and translucent blue bases.
M'kay
To more consistent updating.
TO UPDATES!

Iä iä! Cthulhu! Fhtagn! R'lyeh!
It's been 3 weeks.
... Ooops?
And what is with that chanting?
Shoggoths
Shoggoths?
Aye, a shoggoth carrying a sphere and a mouthy hole in the ground.


Kinda small isn't it
Yeah, but I have Raspy and some friends!


Well okay then.
Byebye!

Svarg-ing Hull Nuts!
NO SVARG SHERLOCK!!!
6+ weeks, 44 svarg-ing days. Dump and run time.

Canibals!


Svarg! Repaints are a thing, also Dr. Lucky.


I have a lizard, my parents have 20 snakes and 100+ gallons of fish tanks. I get shrubbery for cheap.


Do I see a space marine in there?
That'll be Orsus the scale dummy. An almost universal measuring stick for miniature gamers if you will.
I don't like him.
You don't have to.
Good.

Good to see you back Chaotic, new stuff is looking good. Loving that shrubbery, would make great terrain for any game.

Nice to have you back. The plog is a favourite for hobby and humour.

X Wing repainte are looking great by the way.

EDC

Thanks for the responses! Life has been ... Annoying, recently and the comments mean a lot right now. Don't worry nothing is wrong, enthusiasm, self discipline and time are lacking while tiredness, laziness and Blah. are overflowing.

The shrubbery, Ni!, is meant to be soft scatter terrain for games where density and small pieces are important. Each "clump" of shrubbery, Ni!, is on a slice of 3/4 inch dowel. I probably wouldn't use this shrubbery, Ni!, in KoW or 40k (if I still played) but after a couple good turnouts on Malifaux Tuesdays at Games Plus the lack of small LoS blocking terrain is being felt.
Ni! You're a Succubis not a k-nig-hit. It's shrubbery. ...Ni!

The Plague Hawk was the only planed one but it was too much fun.
So the spare X was stolen by my scum and painted a lovely blood and pus.
And your welcome for the svarg -ing racing stripes.
Well of course! It needed them!

"...Painted a lovely... pus." At times you can be forgiven for forgetting she's a Succubis.
Svarg-ing yerk-ski.
Language.

Edit: Fun fact, his autocowreck doesn't have cannibal (the right spelling with two Ns) or its conjugations for canibal (one N, wrong). And it only gives him carnival if he realizes it's wrong and clicks on it. ,

Holy moose cows! Reasonable delay between updates!
I see no update.
Will Mw'phlaghn do?


Hmm, anything else? The Olive Drab is nice but he's not all that much.
How about some squadron building?


YOWZA! I'll go shave some Jedi Kittens!
WHAT?!?!?!?!
Well where else will we get appropriate fluff?
How about letting me give it a try first.
Hmm, okay but the Jedi Kittens are still on the table. And I make no promises.
Oooookay then.

Dead Moon Raiders
Lead by a mysterious woman known only as "The Daemoness" Ooh, I like. they primarily operate on the svarg end of the sparsely populated fringes of the galaxy. The only other member of note is the bounty hunter "Kh4y0Z" the svarg-er that was lucky enough to retrieve a marooned Moff. Otherwise yet another completely forgettable bounty hunter.
Known assets
2 Decrepit old Zeds modified to carry contraband.
1 Y-Wing in surprisingly good condition considering age and abuse. Torpedo tubes removed for increased bomb capacity. Auto blaster turret locked in forward position.
1 Thrice stolen, mothballed T-65 X-Wing. Upper port cannon prone to overheating / misfiring, port torpedo tube inoperable, targeting computer removed.
1 Excecively gaudy HWK-290 dubbed "Plague Hawk" Kh4y0Z's personal flying wreck "improved" using the payoff from the Moff. Still armed with outmoded blaster turret.
2 Astromech droids with confirmed Droid Rot. Constantly overcharge any engines they are given access to.
1 Dammaged WED-15 repair droid stolen from a GR-75 slated for demolition. Chassi welded shut, memory banks corrupted, data port burnt out.
1 K4 security droid lacking weapon systems.

Threat Analysis: Only to themselves and whatever their flaming wrecks smash into.

...Realy?
For now, just wait until we "steal" your personal ship and a Gozanti.
Realy?! I wasn't expecting a Gozanti.
Once the imperials are issued their second.

Lovin them x-wing ships. Ninja Cthulhu looks pretty spiffy too.

NORTHERN ATLANTIC CODMEN! ... ATAAAAAACK!!!


I see NO cod.
Okay, I admit they're suposed to be angler fishmen.
If anything I'm seeing coelacanth. I've got no idea where you're getting anglerfish.
Well the heavy brute didn't have a lure so I amputated the rest.
Anything else?
The olive drab was a bad move.
Why?
Mistakes were made.

Love the blue on those fishmen

Sweet X Wing repaints! Cool fluff too.

Not really sure what the other stuff is, but it looks good nonetheless.

EDC

Thanks! Really simple TBH, it's all solid areas of Reaper Deep Ocean/Marine Teal/Surf Aqua or Vallejo Model Color Gunmetal Blue with P3 Turquoise ink over the top.
In short, LAAAAAAZY!

I'm glad you like the repaints! They're waaay too much fun to do. The fluff was a small chalange but fun and well worth it I feel. I'm having to trawl through Wookiepiedia to make sure it fits the general cannon while being what I want. I figure if I put the Dead Moon Raiders post Galactic Empire, pre First Order, Post T-70 X-Wing I have a lot of leeway.

As for the other stuff what it is, is I need to bust out the color balanced light, fabric remnants, and proper camera.
Yes! Things are looking like !
But not tonight, instead yesterday's Trandoshan and tonight's skeleton metals.

Loving the colour choice on them skeletons. Also it's such a pleasure watching this thread as with every update I never know what I'm going to see, your model collection is so eclectic. Your name is so apt, keep it up.

Hard to go wrong with purple and gold. The "Mega Spaz" nature will be in full force for a while.
Why?
I. Want. Imperial. Assault. ... And a svarg-load of expansions for it. And to do that I want to finish 40ish before I buy the base game. And another 40 for all the expantions I want IMMEDIATELY. So the first proven spaz batch:

Nya dah! Shaded and bloodied. Just need some bases.


Why are they missing bases?
I need some 3/4 inch or 20mm rounds first. That means going and buying some or getting to the bandsaw.
Well, get on that!
I am! The basement is a disaster so it's a case of cleaning my way too it.
Eugh, okay forget that. So how many is this towards FF's SW IA?
Hmm, 5 for the ghouls, and ... 2? for the skellies.
WHAAA? But you finished 18 minis!
The ghouls were lazy paint jobs to they were halved and the skellies lack proof beyond pseudo dip and blood so they were quartered. Adding and rounding gives a total of 7.
Aww, we're doing this the respinsible way.
Probably those big 'uns or photo shoot next.

Looks like a nice unified force, will look deadly on the table.

In my defence, I was left unsupervised, alone, with cash, an entry fee to buy, a new IpAdd, and work flogging me for all the hours they could for the last week.
What's going on?
This.


Oh.
Yup. And this.


Oh! That's much better. So how does this effect Imp A...ssault?
Niiice recovery. As for goals, it's a big fat 0/null/nadda/zip.
WHAAAA?!?!?!
Executive decision was entry fees don't count, I NEED too pay them. As for the ogre ghouls they aren't done yet so they don't count.
Hmm, weasel-y, but okay!
Also reshot some Pics for better quality: Here.
Very good, NOW BLOODY MY OGRHOULS!
Yes Mam!

That cavalry is a cool model, can't wait to see what you do with it. Those ogre ghouls are coming along nicely.

Yeah, the Mechanical Rider is a lot of fun in game too but the metal version I have is on one single leg that was twisting every time I used her so she started being left home. As for the Ogrhouls, Tada! Also Han, Chewbacca, Gunslingers, and the Duros twins: Zidid & Nuzur.



Of course that puts proof out of order.
Yes, yes it does.
Sooo, the original plan,



Gunslingers, Showgirls, villagers, and eggs.
That didn't happen did it?
No, no it did not. Basing and an army shot did happen however.
What? Really? Lemmie see!
The horde as it stands: *GROAN*



DEAD THINGS! I. Iz. So. Happeh.
And progress: -4 Han, Chewy, Duros Saboteurs. +7 Ogrhouls (Big but lazy) and Local Security (Lazy but Camo takes time). +/- 0 gunslingers. Net total: 7+7-4=10. 10 of 42.



Also, Chewy is a sadistic bloodthirsty psychopath.
WHY?
I cut myself good opening his blister.
Ah. Sane, logical, rational reasons. [sarcasm] Because you aren't a klutz.[/sarcasm]
Nope! However this does justify another intercepted transmission about the Dead Moon Raiders!

BEGIN TRANSMISSION
Republic Intel Analyst Eli's report:
We have hired a Trandoshan to infiltrate the DMR, I think. Codename Agent Hiss has thus far refused to communicate with anything other than simple gestures and angry hissing. However a reliable contact has assured me that Agent Hiss is extremely reliable and that we had a contract.

Based on recently received intel we believe they are based on a backwards ball of dirt registered as Draconis 42-3 (Third world of the Draconis 42 system. Apparently 56 systems have been dubbed Draconis.) Local inhabitants use archaic slug thrower weaponry and have no native space program. Friendly towards the Republic. They have promised to look into pirate/cartel/syndicate/etc. activity in desert and dense jungle regions usually ignored due to inhospitable nature. They request aid with cold weather equipment for poles and extreme mountain terrain. Maybe we can send them some of our large cache of retired snow trooper equipment currently in mothball? Locals are extremely close to humans so little to no modification should be required.

Even if nothing comes of Agent Hiss' attempt we are apparently only out his tab at a local bar. Draconis 42-3 native forces volunteered on contact and it's not like we really have any use for that old Imperial equipment. Cheap enough to give it a try I think.

Admendum: Agent Hiss' tab was rather more than I thought possible. I am currently negotiating with the owner of the bar.

END TRANSMISSION

Agent Hiss is the lizzard with a gun, Kh4y0z (DMR Bounty Hunter) is the squid-y one:



I'ma, err, The Daemoness, is gunna seduce the Lizzard Dude. Isn't she!?
If that's the way you want us to turn him traitor then that's why he turns traitor.
Wait, I'm confused. WHO is seducing who and who is turning traitor?
The Daemoness = The Demon Muse = Evil OverQueen seductress of Trandoshans (Lizzard Dudes and Dudets)
Kh4y0z = ChaoticMind = lucky loyal bounty hunter minion
"Bossk" = Agent Hiss = traitor
Oh, Okay. I / The Daemoness is seducing Agent Hiss. ... SWEET! I get a harem!
Yup, Good byeee!

Slowly, slowly the gunslingers progress.



Waitaminuite, 9 of those are NOT 'faux Arcanist Gunslingers.
That's because they're the IMEF I've been slopping khaki on after getting home from work at 11pm.
WHY!?!?
So progress is made while I'm unfit for precision work.
Oh. Carry on.
What comes first, Imperial Assault, Imperial Gozanti, The Daemoness' Infiltrator, The Daemoness (and friends) in 28mil, or The Party School Bus?
... Can't. Decide. Meep.
Now accepting votes: Imperial Assult, Gozanti that WON'T get repainted, Shapeways order, Hasslefree order, or YV-666 repainted school bus yellow?

Friday:
The siren song of Games Plus, It calls to me!
NOOOO! Resist! Reeesiiist!
To late, I has failded. Looky, DMR pilots! Oh, whoops. The rodians (Greedos) have their O.D. and khaki already.



I see a bones blur and 3 pewter blurs.
Bones and the new blur are a Nine Suns henchman and a Malverns Soldier. The other 2 in back are backloged sci fi nurse and mechanic
Sooo...
-4
Oh boop.

Today:
AH, HA HAHAHA!!! They're done! Done I tell you!



YAY! Finally! Sooo?
+2 net results: 8/42
Svarg nab it!
On the upside I have +6 to 15 rapidly approaching.
Really?
Pu-chew!



These plus the IMEF up top are well on track for finished.
Yip-e-Kai-yay svarg svarg-er! So DMR update time?
Almost, I want them done for their dossiers.
Svarg.
Thems the svarg. Sorry.

Nice progress on the gun slingers and Star Wars stuff, the basing of the undead army is an impressive feat also. Keep it up.

Yeah, I'm glad to finally get those dang gunslingers done! On the other hand the undead were quick and easy: Glue> flock> ink wash> glue mini on> done! Also it was only the bone dragon and 20 of the 52 small ones.

On the subject of Star Wars, I'm loving the FF Star Wars minis (ImpA and X-Wing) and creating the DMR. I forgot how much creating fluff was, the Malifaux universe doesn't leave much room for customization.

Bought 2 sense my last update but finished 16, net total towards ImpA core: 14+8= 22 of 42. Over half way there!

Fluff later today.

Proof Pics:



Heeey! What's going on?
Quick drop before I need to run out, TTFN!

Fantastic work. Love the orange jumpsuit on that one guy in the first pic.

Yeah nice work on the mercs, they're looking good.

EDC

Thanks! I've been having a lot of fun with them but I need to take a break to avoid burn out, sooo:


DEMONS!
And now for something promised: Dossiers.

The Daemoness

Kh4y0z:

Agent Hiss



Jakin



Treem



Kleck



Knarssa



Meg Tanner



Zidid (Green shirt) & Nuzur (Red shirt)

Slow grinding continues.


12 mostly done and 11 added on.

So much purple! I love it. What models are those? I'm not familiar with them, they look good though and can't wait to see them finished.

Yeesss, obey thee puurrrple. MWAHAHAHA!!!
As for your question: Mantic lower abyssals. Plus a champion, Iffrit, and Dungeon Saga Champion.

Well things definitely went off the rails.
NO SVARG SHERLOCK!!!
Meep!
So what the svarg have you been doing?
Let's see, ummm, lurking? Uhhh, what else? Oh yeah! progress:


Unknowingly being encouraged to expand on these guys (More tomorrow):


Picked up a good sized commission (My paint-work, I've just been slow about posting here):


And backslide:


WHAT THE EVER LOVING SVARG?!?!?!
Let's see, painting up a copy of Descent, bought Imperial Assault, the "Party Bus" (to be repainted as a school bus), Twin Shaddows expansion, Royal Guard Champion, alt Stormtroopers, Agent Blaize (Somebody shot him in the face, damaging his helmet, making him flip them off. That's my way of handling his stupid pose at least), The " it Jannet" (General Weiss> Jannet Weiss> Brad's song proposing to Jannet), entry-fee Mobile toolkit, and raffle prize Pandora crew box.
Svarging gack, yer nuts!
Is this news?
