Ordered a model (Resistance Thunderstorm Custom) online for $25 (plus shipping) that is normally $68

Back to making Objective Markers,Expect more in the coming days,as well as getting a first thin undercoat on about 50 very small bits.

Today is the day! I am going to organize my hobby desk so that I ACTUALLY sit down and paint rather than just staring at a daunting mess.

It's happening!

Just mostly assembled Canis Wolfborn. I'm leaving his arms and backpack off until I paint him (which is going to be a while). I'm also going to have to fill a couple of gaps and casting defects with ProCreate putty. FailCast strikes again.

I'm also starting to get some paint down on my Dark Imperium Primaris Marines.

Completely misglued my Leman Russ's sponson with CA+ glue. Now I'm going to have a sponless Leman Russ and a night spent regarranging magnets...

Started building a Wraithguard, but as I didn't have instructions I got the build wrong. Then I realised that what I had thought was plastic glue was in fact superglue. Feth.

Luckily, my trusty garden clippers were to hand, and several cuts and shavings of plastic later, I had rectified the error in an inconspicuous manner.

freeze it for a few hours, may be able to break the glue

Superglue forms only uni-directional bonds, so if you can twist the pieces perpendicular to the bond, the glue will break really easily.

If neither of the above work and you haven't started painting, toss the whole thing into a tub of Purple Power. It breaks down the CA bond.

Good Luck!

Working on a 6mm Alexandrian (have the options to play Macedonian and Imperial); for Impetus.

This week's painting results are;

9 hormagaunts
2 tyranid warriors
3 ripper bases
winged hive tyrant

Now I'm off to a metal festival

Minor conversion, and a WIP:

Worked on terrain.

Breaking out the flock and static grass for the first time in an age in order to make some funky woodland themed traps,The kind Catachan's use to set ambushes on death worlds.

I'm about finished with this, then I'll get back on a couple pieces I started last night!

Sealed up the FW Vuture and FW Valkyries with my customized joints and pinning to allow them ride on removable GW Flying Bases.

Spaying some new terrain I built.

Happy Canada Day!

Cheers,

CB

Making a 1/72nd plane to go with my 28mm WWII Germans. This kit is godawful. The guide has numbers on it for the parts, but the sprues don't. I've managed to put some of the wing parts on back to front because there's details which are in the instructions which aren't on the actual model (its one of those prototype planes which has two fuselage). That and the amount of gaps is obscene.

Eugh, sad panda. :(

Played 2 games of frostgrave.

Painted the terrain.

Drilled and assembled five Wave Serpent turrets, old FW resin ones that really need extra time making them fit with file and drill.

Cheers,

painting a wererat, carrion crawler, green hag, rat, and hobgoblin for 5th edition

last weekend: perfect weather for priming, primer was dead.

This weekend: Have new can of primer, humidity through the roof

Slowly painting verdigris'd armour on my last Dark Souls mini, the Gargoyle.

Well, at a man I doing you ask. Unfortunately I've moved to an area where Games stores are sparse and I went to a tournament five years ago, so gaming is underground here, and I'm not in the know. But, with the release of Warhammer 40K 8th I've found a moment of excitement and used that to motivate myself to start back into the hobby and hopefully find other gamers.
I warmed up my painting with an AOS Khorne Berserker looking barbarian. And I've started work on a couple of Space Marines for my Blood Angels.

Painting up a test mini for my Blood Ravens, here's hoping it comes out ok!

Knightworlder heavy weapon teams! And still workin on the "Bullgryn"

Sealed the terrain with a thin layer of white glue mixed with a small amount of water (makes it really though and durable for the gaming table).

Took a few photos but have yet to put them up.

Cheers,

CB

Made a Set of Objective Markers,Took some pics of other markers i made a few days ago,and taking scans of Pirates CSG Cards.

The ghostly (not to mention blobby and orange) semi-corpeal husk of Billjohn O'Henry. Miniature from the Pinnacle Entertainment Group's Savage Worlds : Sixth Gun RPG Miniatures set.

Tutorial : To be posted : https://boardgamegeek.com/rpgitem/181238/sixth-gun-role-playing-game

Just put some old-school metal Plaguebearers of Nurgle on their bases. I've also finally gotten started in earnest on my first squad of Intercessors.

Played another game of 8th edition 40k.

Primed three Eldar Wave Serpent turrets.

Happy 4th of July to our American friends...including my brother and his family.

Cheers,

CB
