Slowly chugging through priming my massive custom orc battle wagon/Battle Fortress. Unfortunately, I'm going to be dropping out of this month's painting competition as I just don't have the time to complete it, as my paints ended up getting delayed and left me with only about a week to work on the model. It also doesn't help that I haven't been painting models for several years, so I'm kind of Rusty.

Building another squad of British Galahad armor troops for Konflict 47.
This time the new resin sculpts.
Mostly just because I like how they look moreso thsn any actual gameplay need.

Been painting my Ork nobz during the last couple of weeks. Built them out of Ironjawz + Bits from Kromlech, Spellcrow, Savage Orks and 40K nobz.

Been waiting about 2 months for an order to show up - held up by the GSW pavement texture roller being out of stock. Just arrived yesterday - and I think it might be the wrong size for what I had in mind... Bah!

Started assembling the final TK kit in my pile - a Necrosphinx.

Still working on my pair of Imperial Bastion. Finished the first one, and closing in on the second now. Pretty fun models overall to paint, if a bit tedious at time! Will be fun to have them done and on the table tho!

Sorting my second set of 2nd ed cards

Today my Eldari Phantom titan comes off the shelf to participate in this year's 12 player Apocalypse battle.

Every year, because I'm one of the guys who can, I strive to put something on the table 99% of our players have never seen in person.
(Though with 3d printing this gap is narrowing)

My Phantom is the answer to the shop owners Warlord Titan (real FW)
Real FW vs real vintage ArmorCast.

Finished off my last Elf Heavy Infanty - some kitbashed Swordmasters, Pheonix Guard and Seaguard to bulk out my IoB regiments. And today I assembled some mantic barded horses to sit some North Star elves on as Silver helms.

Even with the hot water trick, the assembly was no fun on these - the horses heads and the connection point both seem to be slightly domed, so that it's like a single point of contact between the two! Come on, at least do one slightly recessed and the other with a little dome. I had to greenstuff all of the heads.

Darn it we gotta have pictures of that face off!

Sadly it turns out not that great looking.
The Warlords owner failed to get the titans torso assembled in time.
So its represented by its legs. :(

Still cool! I hope you suitably punished them for their crimes against them machine by blasting it off the table ^

I couldn't.
It turned out that it was a "Narrative Element" that each team (imperial/non-imperial) got to use x times.
But I did claim:
1 landraider
1 repulsed
2 demon princess
1 unit of Kataphrons (? The ones with the dangerous guns)
1 unit of EC blade guys + character
1 dune stalker
9/10 Hellblasters
And lay serious damage into about 5 other assorted marine units

Working my way through three units of Necrons (Skorpekh, Lokhust Heavy Destroyer, Lychguard) while editing audio for my podcast.

Was able to finish 'rusting up' the Leman Russ & Rogal Dorn last night, plus completing all but three of my Vostroyan hobby progress challenge month commitment. Today I'll finish the last three guys and then start rusting up another chimera. Or I'll break out the weathering powders and try my hand at them if I'm feeling spicy.
