Sat down to paint miniatures for the first time in...a while. I mean, really paint.
Motivation provided by Kestral's campaign, and Dysartes' Twitch feed. I have to tell you, painting while watching a Twitch feed is ALMOST as good as painting with peeps iRL, and I'm going to continue to add these to my toolbox. I highly suggest checking out feeds of people painting, to expand your community and monkeyspheres!

I am so glad I installed a spraybooth into my work area.
Spent a couple of nights knocking out some penal legion characters, some "priests", a "Primaris Psyker" and repaired some Ogryns.
Play 'spot the Last Chancers and Tanith First and Only'...
Got the grey fatigues and started the green armor. Background for these guys is they're on a suicide mission (naturally) and have been given bottom-of-the-barrel leftovers. In this case, Cadian-pattern flak armor and weapons. Some of the troopers...okay, all the of the troopers, have acquired additional 'kit'. Now, forces Imperial have attached some...motivation...to the troopers in the form of Eviscerator Servitors (Ministorum Priests). For backup, the Electro-Priest (Primaris Psyker) has been assigned a group of Ogryns. the question is, who has enough "pull" to put a mission like this together?
I was able to lay down cream primer, the grey fatigues basetones, and the start of the Cadian green armor basetones. Hopefully, after a break, I'll get the green basetones onto the Ogryns.

Progress!

Blocked out the rest of the greens, including the armour pieces on the Ogryns. Next up, I need to power-paint all the various fleshtones. Going to work on making these a lot more diverse than my previous efforts, as part of the whole "The Imperium Isn't White" concept.

Fleshtones down, and all weapons basecoated. After much internal debate, I went with the lazy metallic approach.

Today, we have an interlude. I have been collecting "In World" props and such for Warhammer 40K, and here's a doozy I picked up for, basically, original price. It is the collector's edition of the Deathwatch RPG manual, from Fantasy Flight Games, made under license.
Spoiler:
Larger and heavier than I expected.
Chain, chain, chaaaaaain...
Key to my...heart? (The key is held on the side with magnets.)
Unlocked!
Revealed!
The purity seal/parchment is removable. The book is lovely, faux-leather, nicely bound. I am most likely going to remove the purty seal/parchment and frame it (after casting the seals...) and then use the box as a cosplay item, see what interesting relic would be appropriate for the box. MAYBE I could find/craft "The Emperor's Tarot"...
I hope you enjoyed this piece of Warhammer 40K history!

I'm sorry, but I will only allow ketchup-flavoured crisps to be stored within this most holy sepulcher.

Is it deep enough for a bottle of holy “water” (vodka, gin, scotch, whisky, everclear......adult beverage of your choice?)

Yeah, we can't really get that kind of lovely crisp here in the US.
Yes, the opening could fit a bottle of 'adult beverage'.

I dunno, that's a good question. If I can get my cosplay act together, that would be a good event to hit. Plus, you know, Wardens!

Because they need to be yellow. They're sky cranes.
I also removed the front heavy bolter from the nose turret, and will magnetize in some swaps, so I can run these as 100% civilian vehicles.
