Nice work Slinky, they remind me of some of the old White Dwarf scenery if it was revamped.

Thanks, glad you like 'em

Still not doing very well in terms of progress on "real" painting, but I've got 5 more alien plants done:



So up to 15 for the year.

Don't be ridiculous, all painting is real painting. Nice job!

The final 6 alien plants are done, so I will have to find something else to do now...

Actually got a hint of painting mojo going, and managed to finish off a 3d-printed Rhino that's been about 60% done for several months!

It's almost liquid like which is a really cool idea for Alpha Legion. Makes it look as if it could easily shift into another chapter as a disguise.

Thanks very much! Got some AL terminators nearly done too, so a real burst of productivity.

Finally got these terminators done!

Plastic models, with 3d-printed parts to turn them into Siege Tyrants (usually Iron Warriors only, but AL can steal other legions' cool stuff)

Nice job with the paint there, Slinky. Did you use contrast paints?

Some really stuff here, I’m liking the salamanders. It’s great seeing 2nd Ed starter orks being painted. The alpha legion is brilliant

Loving the Alpha Legion Terminators, the blue looks great on them! The see through ringbearers are properly cool

My productivity continueth, so I am making hay - 5 more Alpha Legion, this time a support squad with flamers, just perfect for a sneaky inflitration force

More LOTR action today - Éomer foot and mounted. The new plastic version, way better than the metal ones...



Score up to 42 now. More Alpha Legion next up.

Very well done. There's a lot going on with that model, but your attention to detail keeps it from looking cluttered.

Now showing more Samurai Marines, Bad Squiddo Amazons, and an Oldhammer Chaos Thug!

Painting total as of 3/28/2024: 21 plus a set of modular spaceship terrain

Painting total for 2023: 79 plus 28 Battlemechs and a Dragon-Balrog

Thank you all, very kind!

Still working on an Alpha Legion tank, but while clearing out the loft I found a forgotten bag of Mantic Battlezone bits, so I built and painted these last couple of buildings:

Thanks, Graven!

Only a month later, but the AL tank is finally done! 3d printed from PLA, came out quite nicely... Not totally happy with the plasma bits, but not going to redo them

Not caught up in a little while but I'm loving your updates Slinky! Éomer looks awesome and the tank is extremely cool.
