For those like... two people who follow. I am still in a holding pattern until I move out west. Can't really start any projects if I am moving 3000 miles in two months or so.

BUT!

Nighthaunt release is amazing - already brainstorming paint schemes and basing/board options. Probably grab them for the new AoS 2.0 and will definitely work on my Bloodbound as well, who I have HUGE plans for on a massive display board that will take quite an investment in time. Ogors are still waiting for GW to rebuild them into something.

For 40k, I am still stuck. Debating on starting my Marines again, but really... not feeling it.

Now 30k is another animal! House Vyronii will happen, as will my Night Lords. The latter will be themed to the Drop Site Massacre.

Vyronii is a harder display option. Not 100% sure, but right now I am leaning towards a ruined Legio/Knight battleground with a dead Reaver Titan as the focus - with my Lancer standing with his foot on its head. Just got to.. you know... ruin a Reaver. My favorite Titan... Ugh. It will be worth it.

Anyhow, that is my mid-2018ish update.

EDIT:

Also, did I not post pics of the finished West German commission I did? Here... this is apparently the only pic I have of them. Sorry it is garbage quality!

Well, I can never seem to stay away from Knight commissions. My Hawkshroud client is sending me four to do - a Valiant, a Castellan, and two normal Questoris ones. The big boi Knights are on a tight deadline (for Nova) and the others not so much.

Should be fun!

I will be starting them once I am settled in my new place, which is 3000 miles from my current one.

Well, never mind. Client cancelled. Damn shame!

I guess this means I will have more time to focus on my own projects.

...I did it. I obtained a Reaver Titan just to wreck for the House Vyronii display board and bases. I'm a madman. Legio Fureans bites the dust at the hands of the Godeaters and Warp Runners.

Also, on the prowl for an Imperial Bastion to use as part of an Istvaan themed display for the Night Lords, which I finally have almost entirely purchased. It will feature dead Iron Hands and Sallies, including a wrecked Sicaran battle tank. Again, I'm insane.

Lots of stuff happening, should be a rowdy end of 2018 and 2019 for my personal projects.

Buying a titan for basing, bold move. Normally I wouldn't advocate it, but hopefully it was from the east.

I can't vouch for its authenticity. But I can vouch for its awesomeness as a basing material.

It really does just complete the concept though. A Cerastus Lancer with one foot on a dead Reaver head? Like, that is an image no one forgets. Or a Knight Acheron striding over the wrecked power fist of a Reaver, too. The narrative is just there.

And hopefully I got a guy who will be trading me a bastion so I can get my Drop Site Massacre board started for my Night Lords.

I ain't dead y'all, just took a long, much needed hiatus. Moved across country and am now working my way back into the hobby for the hope that when the pandemic clears, I'll be able to find some 30k and AoS players in my area.

Updates:
Acquired a Fyreslayer army!
Finished getting my Ogors up to AoS standards (after 5 years of neglect!)
Almost done buying my Vyronii stuff - two Moirax away from done!
Night Lords are almost ready - need to finalize some lists and buy a Fire Raptor and cast dead Marines; reading the new black book and going to go from Drop Site board to a Thramas board!
Airbrush is giving me a headache but a new .4 needle arrives today so that should solve my issue!

Anyhow, I'm going to post updates when I can if only to keep me motivated. Attached is a pick of me in early planning for the wrecked Reaver!

Finally an update! ... though one from a project awaiting AoS 3e rules to land.

I started a Hermdar Fyreslayer army with hopes of finally getting back into the hobby and of course it got derailed. COVID and all that plus the aforementioned issue.

Right now I'm just building models. Nothing exciting. Magmadroth is in subassemblies. Next up is 40+ HGB and some various heroes etc.

I'm going to try to post again more regularly just to see if that keeps me motivated. It has been incredibly hard to find my groove again.
