Happy birthday, Solar! Have fun with the terrain building. Better you than me.

Ahhh. This old blog again.

While it's been idle, I have not. Having recently found some time to get back into 40k.

Though I haven't done much for myself, I have helped out one of my friends sons with getting into the game. Here is some units I recently built and painted for one of the sons Death Guard army

These a a bit less shiny now after the protective clear coat.

The last two pics are WIP shots. A rhino/Predator combo. It's actually finished but I don't have any pics of the end result.

I did all the sculpting on the LR & the Rhino/Pred. Was a fun New process for me.

Loving seeing you again, and praise papa!

Wait, who are you, again?

Dang Solar those are so disgusting, in just the right way.

Hey, good to have you back! Stick around!

Yep.... those are pretty icky. Nice work.

Thanks though I think the Free Nurgling is done for him. I think I filled the Gaps for him.

Thanks. Looking forward to your new Wraith Army.

Some renewed interest in 40k amoungsts some of the wardens has me getting the armies I'm bringing a bit of a renewal.

I'll be bringing Nids and Necrons. I'll get my first crack at a Primus only SM army and a Death Guard army. I plan to do a fairly swarmy Nid list just to play to the fluff. My Necrons will be more competitive. The SM player insists on 3000 pts game so he can bring what he deems an appropriate showing of Primus might (Cheese)

Take a box of crackers and some apple slices, with hm bringing the cheese you can have a healthy snack while playing.

Nids looking good

"Wardens"... sounds so familiar...

Looks purplicious. Good show sir!

Yeah, I actually finished a 2000 point army! Who'd have thought it?!

AC is 6 months out. Be happy to have Ya!

I'd love to go, but I'd need to ensure I wasn't hanging by myself (save for any classes I might take). So I'd need to 'latch on' to someone's coat tails for the weekend. Or several someones.

There should be Wardens around and we all kinda 'hang' when we can. Can't guarantee that anyone wants to be 'latched onto'. But I get it. There should be something going on at all times. I'm planning 3 official event games of Knight Fight ( not including the Wardens game on Saturday) and that always requires help if you want too. Gits is running a Bushido tourney. I plan to do the full size Titannicus game. I have about four 40k games lined up and fill in the rest with spending time with my Brother, Xwing, 'hanging' with the Wardens, ohhh and food ( lots of Udon - curse you Ramos.... No thank you Ramos... repeat)


Now back to the hobby.. finishing up a unit of Hormagants and the remaining Genestealers. After that all that remains are 3 Biovores with scratch built Sporemines, a Lictor and 10 Gargoyles. Like I said fluffy. I'll post some unit pics and promise to post a Army shot when completed.

Then on to upgrading my Crons. (Lots to build.). After that a complete set of a ruins for a friend. Additional detailing work on the Knight Fight board, Then on to my Warlord Titan. Which I hope to play in the Full scale Titannicus game at Adepticon.

Who needs sleep?

*warhound Titan. Going to use that over the Reaver?

Nids look great Solar. If I get to Adepticon next year I would love to play in the Knight game.

Warlord Titan.. I'll have all three. Hopefully I have time to get it built and painted before Adepticon. I opted for the Apoc Missile Launchers, Volcano cannon, Plasma annil. for loadout.
I also got 2 Powerfists. I know a totally emptional cool decision. Ramos said he like to run it with 2 PF's. Be intreresting to see.. I'll Magnitize the weapons so I can switch out as needed.
I have to finish my Nids and Crons first.

Always welcome. We sometimes have no shows that I ask the Wardens to step in to make sure the full no of players is in the game. As for the Wardens only game you are officially invited.
Hope to see you there.

Had 4 Days off and did only a wee bit of painting. Finished the Hormagants, the Lictor and the remaining 16 Genestealers. Only 10 Gargoyles and 3 Biovores with their Sporemines.

When completely done I'll have to base them in my jungle theme. That will take some time.

My buddy and his son just finished a game yesterday. SM vs DG. Least to say the Primus Marines with Powerful Repulsors wiped the DG. These are powerful tanks. 30 some points more than a LR with 40+ shots each? I suspect a tough slog for my Nids.

Yeah, won't be any better than anyone else. I suppose if you're going to ret-con the old marines, you have to make the new marines too powerful to resist.

True. I have too much old marines to now invest in a new/newer version. I suspect GW will phase the old out in the next few editions; or at least produce no more of the older kits. I'll miss the 'Beekies'.

Finishing up the build of the last Tyranid units I need. 10 more Gargoyles. Then I have to decide to go purchase 3 new Biovores or eBay an old edition one. I have 2 of those so I only need one..

Getting close to finishing my 10 Gargoyles. Hopefully by the weekend I'll have an army pic to show.

In the meantime while waiting for paint to dry. I got a reduced price AoS monster that I thought I could turn into a Giant Chaos Spawn. So I started filling in the fantasy section to make it more 40k and a bit more Nurgly. Still WIP

Lovely paint on an excellent model. Wow! Very cool.

Good Papa Nurgle that looks amazing! Those are red centipedes arent they crawling out of his head? Very cool.

Super gribbly. Lovely model to convert, great job.

Thanks Y'all.

The Spawn will be holding a primus marine in its right hand and be half swallowing a Primus Sargent. I'm waiting for Gunther's Primus Marine theme so I can copy them for this beast. Causing tension between Father and son. It's a gift.

ps. I'm people like Graven...paying attention!

Tentacles, lovely tentacles.. They will be dry brushed Pink, cause Spawn love that color.

Making good on the 'Git rule'
Face, carapace and teeth and claws remain.

Nice work on the spawn, and the flying gribblies are looking nice as well. I really should spend some time on my airbush skills ...

Fantastic transition on the wings.
