Started on my stripped Fire Dragons.

Some more work on Asurman.

Cheers,

CB

Finished this guy today:
He was the Deathwatch Venerable Dread that came in the Harlie/DW boxed set. Couldn't ever get a trade offer for the NOS model so green stuffed him to be DG.
You can't tell it from the picture but he has three skulls (one on each shoulder and one staring dead center).

Interesting conversion.

Some base work on the Fire Dragons.

Some more work on Asurman's back banner.

Cheers,

CB

Finishing the last 46 Green Stuff Lasgun Power Packs,only the annoying highlighting left to do,then i have all the bits needed to embark on my final objective marker project,there will be more sets than you have fingers,unless your a mutant.

Trying to finish up some Poxwalkers from the new boxed set.

Did some work on a unit of Eldar Rangers and one coat on my Fire Dragons. So of moving from unit to unit on a whim to paint one part of the models. As the two 10 man squads of Dire Avengers I have done are not quite complete even though they are above table top standard already. It is the Eldar effect.

"I think this was the green I used..."

Yesterday, but finished the Hunter's guild fan favourite, for Guild Ball

Primed a Predator and 5 Wolf Guard Terminators still on the sprue. Don't know if I'll get around to any real assembly tonight.

Nice model there Balefire_storm.

Did more work on a unit of Eldar Rangers and another coat on my Fire Dragons.

I am painting things while they are still on the sprue! i keep thinking i should do this for the basic basing but then i just want to build and i forget. Not this time.

I am also trying to find a source for tiny plastic and/or metal dogs

Starting to paint my Primaris Lieutenants, and assembling some Grey Hunters for my Space Wolves.

Five years ago I picked up a shoebox full of somebody's Tyranids at my old FLGS, Perkins Hobbies, for $10. My son played Nids then, so I just picked it up. Yesterday, I decided to have a look. The box fell off the shelf as I pulled it. Disaster. As I picked up pieces amidst the 50 odd Termangants I saw something different toward the bottom of the pile on the carpet. A metal Drizzt, a cool D&D assassin, Asmodai, and, yes, Cypher!

I am now fixing up Cypher and asking Asmodai what he did to keep Cypher trapped in that shoebox for five years.

Well, Asmodai may have kept Cypher in the box for five years, but as always Cypher managed to escape from captivity it seems.

Built the 3 easy-build primaris marine reivers, a 5-man squad of intercessors and the primaris captain from dark imperium.

Painting some pipes,tabletops,last of my razor wire,A bunch of Objective Markers,And taking pictures of a bunch of stuff,which i will post on my blog/lab later if i have time and am not painting.

Assembling Cadian Command Squad. So many options, almost all of which are right handed...

Waiting on oil wash to dry so i can highlight clean up and seal.

soo excited

Organizing a e-bay purchase of a bits box,filled with about 10000 bits,it's a nightmare,but there are real gems mixed in rogue trader stuff,space hulk gretchins,tons of weapons enough for about 6 armories filled with items,up from medieval era to the year 40k lol,bunch of building bits perfect for basing,night-vision goggle scopes pouches so much,will post pics in my blog later,after i put the rest in bags,until i get more organizer boxes.

In the lineup of weird tanks, tonight I've started putting together an Object 704 Tank Destroyer - or a ISU-152 with a different slope to its armour. ...More toss nobody's ever heard of.

Finished a small unit of Eldar Rangers. Made good progress on the unit of Fire Dragons.

Cheers,

Built the last of the primaris marines from 1 of 2 dark imperium starters.

Built a Dozen Objective Markers,different one's,not part of my green stuff project,in order to keep things interesting! later will edit said pics,will have to wait a while to see them though,the markers thread is not just for me after all,and sorted a bunch of fancy bits in order of usefulness,as well i'am cleaning up some gakky bases that came with that ebay bits box,need them bases for more markers.

I'm getting ready to play a Konor campaign mission at my FLGS with my Dark Angels defending their territory against Orks. Should be fun.

Show 'em who wears green better!

I picked up some scenery materials today, some clearanced tassels to clip for strings...to make vines. Yes I could just buy string...I like clearance . Also a tub of dap crackshot, good filler for scenery bases etc.

Also toying with my Deathwing list, trying to figure out what to paint.

Building a box of Necron warriors and a box of Lychguard

Base coated the primaris half of a dark imperium set.

Sadly it didn't go well for my DA at all. I brought what I thought was a decent TAC list, and I found myself facing like 120 boyz in four squads, a couple of units of Tankbustas in trukks, Ghazzy, a regular Warboss, two Wierdboys, two Big Meks, and two Painboys. I just didn't have enough horde-clearing firepower to deal with that many bodies and I got thoroughly destroyed. I was expecting more vehicles like Morkanauts and stuff, so I had plenty of Lascannons and stuff like that, but not enough stuff with good rate of fire. It also didn't help that my dice decided to crap on me as well.

On a more positive note, I traded a few MTG cards for some store credit at my FLGS and got some used Space Wolves models with it. A unit of 5 Wolf Guard Terminators and a unit of Long Fangs. My sons of Russ grow in number by the day.

Painting some Normans for my first SAGA warband.

Unit of 4 hearthguard. 3 with spears and shields and 1 with an ax and shield.

I changed out the plastic spears for metal spears. My wife has a painting service and she had painted a viking warband and the guy she painted the vikings for sent along very nice(and VERY SHARP!) metal spears to replace the warlord plastic figures spears.

There were some left over and the client told my wife to keep the leftovers. I decided to use these metal spears and with xacto and pin vice, I attemped to replace the too thick plastic spears. Thought it would be easy. Mean to say, I've been converting figures since, oh, 1977.

I cut the plastic spears and then, with my pin vice and a drill bit that seemed close to the diamiter of the metal spear, I start drilling...

I get the first 3 warriors done nicely. I start the third, and I somehow tear up the figures hand and fingers. I could get the spear in the hand, but the fingers are butched. My wife looks at it and say, "the figure is too small to notice."

I NOTICED!

So I start to look for the sprue that I know I kept, because I seem to remember their were extra spear arms left over. I never throw things away. Now, I only had 1 sprue, as a friend gave me that 1 sprue so I could put togeather 4 warriors and paint them...kind of see if they did anything for me. I was'nt very sure I wanted to make a warband and play SAGA. I'm all about Blood Bowl.

So I finally find that sprue, and I look at it, and no more spears. The only thing left are 3 sling arms, an ax arm and a sword arm. What to do?

A call to my mate, and he says melee weapons can be different in a unit. YIPPEE! Because I have had fun with these first 4 figures, and I have been looking online and have ordered cresent and the cross.

So what will look more bad ass? I go with the ax arm. I had fun, even with the damaged arm. But I painted up my Norman warriors, and they just need basing.

Long story short, New games are a fun journey. I can't wait to play SAGA!

Today I'm currently re-basing all of my Frostgrave warband to the Mantic dungeon flagstone tiles.

Very nice looking tiles, and a perfect fit for Frostgrave ground. Just a quick paint, wash and it's done!
