Assembled some 30k Thousand Sons! Looking for a way to get that metallic red effect....

Cool aren't they Official HH painting way seems to involve airbrush(too tough for my skills!). Seems GW tints + metallic paints could be used to give similar maybe. So runefant steel or something+red tint in suitable amount might work.

Yeah I think I'll have to resort to airbrushing with metallics and the 'clear' FW paints.

Primed the zombies from zombicide black plague.
All the heroes are painted, based, etc.

Just wrapped up assembling Ahriman from the Burning of Prospero set. I could use another box or two of those sweet Mk III...

Busy day for me - so just putting some transfers on a Contemptor Dreadnought, and maybe starting to do some shading on my Shadow War Armageddon terrain.

Adding transfers to my Taros Venator (not much space on it for decals). Hope to do some weathering later.

Cheers,

Writing a narrative for my next army to kick off 8th!

The start of my Eldar army arrived (my 3rd new army this year...), a Start Collecting box, a box of wraithguard and a wraithlord. It'll be expanded with either another 6 Windriders or more Wriathguard. I'll probably start building the bokes when I get home.

Weathered my Taros Venator. Cannot seal it today as it is pouring rain. :(

Added a fully painted Orc Army up for sale in the Swap Shop.

Cheers,

CB

Painted up 2 imp fist dev models.

still too lemon yellow need to add some more gold yellow to the layers.

or it might be the lights in the house.

Shading lots of Shadow War Armageddon terrain and getting a game of 8th in with my Eldar.

Worked bit on Horus base, washed more forge world parts and finished assembly(well except base but those are separate to painting models) for 40 HH blood angel tacticals(split into squad of 20 and 2 squads of 10 in rhino's), 10 blood angel support squad with volkite calivers and 10 sons of horus tacticals to be spread among 2 existing squads to make 2 squads of 20.

Also been varnishing previously finished sons of horus models. Phew.

Weekend plan to finish up painting for 5 justicaerin(minus one arm I need to figure how to do) and 5 legion terminators in cataphractii armour. Plus work on Horus base and maybe try painting Custodes.

I just finished another ten Arkanaut fighters. That kit is a joy to work with.

WAITING!

Waiting for my books to ship from The Warstore so I can see what to equip my Deff Dread with for 8th Ed!

I played a game of aos skirmish! flesh eaters against my slaughterpriest and friends. My slaughterpriest was slaughtered, and it was a good time for all

Started building some urban terrain.

Finished the Taros Venator. Now my Elysians are complete, except for my desire to mount the three FW flyers on GW plastic bases...looks like my only option is to drill.

Cheers,

CB

PS: And posted two last battle reports in the old edition in my Sisters of Battle PLOG.

Just finished more marines...will dip them in a bit.

I've been working on assembling my Knight models backlog tonight. Since I've started being grumpy about Wayland failing to deliver my preorders for the latest releases in a reasonable time, it seemed to be fair for me to get rid of the backlog.

So that's Shazam, Black Adam, 3 parademons and... Darkseid himself assembled tonight.

i am messing about with making buildings from balsa wood and cardboard. Cardboard cuts are not the most fun

Here we go, all assembled. - 60 points, a tournament sized DC Universe force.

Darkseid
3 Parademons
Black Adam

Picked up the new rules and will read some later. Did up some woodland terrain.

Cheers,

CB

Just finished and dipped a new Chaos Warlord...will try to finish the other five marines once they dry. May take a crack at a sorcerer if I can find enough bits.

Just took a few dozen terrain pictures for EBay, Etsy, and the Swap Shop. I HATE taking pictures with a passion, haha.

Assembled 22 Primarus Marines.

Finishing off the Maus, one of the largest tanks in the German WWII arsenal, and starting on a Rutscher; which sat on the completely opposite end of the scale, coming in at 3.5 tons.

Played my first game of 8th edition 40K yesterday with a best mate, so today I'm working on painting more Tyranids for my army and assembling the new objective markers. The Xenos Stasis-Crypt is amazing

That's some lovely-looking terrain though!

Waiting to get back home and work on the hobby again, haven't been able to in months.

Started reading the new Rules that I picked up yesterday.

Cheers,

Waiting on bits which has stalled almost everything. So...perhaps another Phoenix Lord?

Played a couple of rounds of Bolt Action (in 1:72 scale, so it was modded slightly) and decided I LOVE it. So, 3 days after I started my Eldar, I have found a new army: WWI-era Finns.
