Oy-vey! dot deed not go so smooth.
You. Are.
Late, I know. technically the pass/fail content is the same as if I had posted Monday but life happened.


Last week's goal: succeeded, even a tad over.
Other progress:




Naga is ready for GS, H.A.M.Y. has 3 Wracks for themself, Magpie (hellion) Valkyrie (scourge) Raven (wych) Talon (wrack) and LaCroix (wych) bodygloves were started, and 5 humans turned Nephlim were entered into the monthly painting competition.
... Um, you're being a little... er, snippy
...*headdesk* I need to rethink my plans some. Sleep and relaxing are being svarged over.
You do that. Now, you missed your usual opening.
I did.
@CommissarKhaine, Glad we're bringing smiles even if I feel like I've lost it completely. And not the fun way. Yeah, I KNOW we're completely nuts, but usually we can play nicer with others.
Also, Yay! the first 40K illegal gang is looking good!
@Inevitable_Faith, I think you may be biased in your scoring. The Wyches and Kabalites were awesome when I first started DE. (Christmas right after they got their resculpts) and the Hellions and Scourges are even better.

Fluffy Fluff!
The Crows: Elite gang with close ties too H.A.M.Y. Gang I.D. is black bodyglove and gold/yellow armor
Valkyrie: Defacto leader, Name taken from Mon-Keigh legends she identifies with of winged females that harvested the greatest warriors as slaves/concubines. (38,000 years is going to introduce corruption and translation errors.)
Magpie: thieving scavanger, ALL equipment was stolen, prefers to swoop in and kill-steal.
Raven: slightly clumsy, ditzy, but reliable and highly adept at hit and run attacks. (Personality adapted from secondary/tertiary character Raven from the webcomic Questionable Content, 3474 pages so far.)
LaCroix: ex-harlequin player, grew vengeful after a Craftworld Psycher lost control releasing demons that slew his lover. (Based on Eric Draven from the 1994 movie The Crow, his body-type is simmilar and his helmet matches the eye makeup.)
Talon: Wrack on permanent loan from H.A.M.Y. to the Crows

So, re-sew-loo-shuns:
1) Every Monday I post: HAHAHA! No.
B) Set weekly goals: Nephlim skin, maybe some work on the bodygloves.
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): Last week? nothing but paint, which doesn't count. This week? some (Official!!) D&D pups and gargoyles and another box of Wracks yesterday.
D) Don't anger the Succubis: M'lady? Get more sleep, and balance that thing you call a life and we'll call it even
Will do!
Kee-nig-hit.
Night all!

You're talking to a demented grot tinkerer here - as long as you're not making everbody do the burny dance, it's OK. Take your time, change your goals if necessary, and keep on breathing. Things tend to work themselves out!

Gangs are looking promising, and I love the little background tidbits

I enjoy writing characters and world building but have trouble turning it into stories, thankfully the world and characters is all you need for army fluff.

Unfortinateley or thankfully these are the last of the nephlim for a while. I still want to get Haydrein (different faction) and an Alternate Nekimia (Replacement for meh sculpt I have painted) but they're not needed for Neverborn playibility.

mostly this is an update so I can find this again:

Haloo out thar!
Post time?
Is post time.
WooHoo!
First off, a rousing success:


Bodygloves, LaCroix's faceplate, Neph' skin, black dusters, and Scion clothes done. Remaining Nephlim clothes, Talon's pants, TauWracks and the last batch of Nephlim started.
MOAR.
OSL splinter/shard barrels to be stolen, resistance to corsair cloaked DE weakening, drooling over the idea of a Venom, wracking (heh heh heh) my mind over how to DE-ify a Vyper, debating the Eldar triumvirate for the smaller ones as gang rulers.
Pricey...
Not as much as dental work...
Huh?
Lost a filling earlier, need to see a dentist soon.
Ah, real, legal, almost Hamonculi.
Just the drill.
Close enough!
Do, do you not like dentists?
... Maybe.
... A figment of my imagination has more of a problem with dentists than I do... That, is weird.
ANYWAY! Moving on now, resolutions.
Yes mam.
1) Every Monday I post: close enough.
B) Set weekly goals: Competition Nephlim clothes, if reasonable DE skin.
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): as said D&D pups and gargoyles and another box of Wracks, ok but not great.
D) Don't anger the Succubis: Meh, close enough.
1 success, 2 close enoughs, 1 decidedly meh /4
Whelp, that's all for now!

@Inevitable_Faith, Always good to know my posts are appreciated! Wich brings me to my first point:
Words of encouragement are not posting. Words of encouragement are not posting. Words of encouragement are not posting.
Similarly: Don’t kill the ‘puter. Don’t kill the ‘puter. Don’t kill the ‘puter.
Rough day?
Internet is, troubled, today.
Anoying.
A-yup
A-yupdate?
I got a friend his birthday present today. They followed me home.


A-wut?
OOP shroud mage fleet for $30 rather than $35 plus the $10 off for spending $100.
A-svarg’ead.
I think any dwarven ironclads (battleship & cruisers), Bonegryphon “friggates” (zombie whales), and shroud mage ships they have left may follow me home tomorrow.
*A-headdesk*
As for resolusions:


Clothes done, skin started. Goals: Doing okay.

New ideas: one of the Crows will get a red faceplate, “Tengu”.
possible 2nd Homonculus: Urias.
H.A.M.Y. is about pushing the limits of what he can do. He makes monsters.
Urias is about pushing the limts of what the subject can do. They makes supers.
what sparked Urias was this image:


smoother, more graceful Wracks are the idea. Mostly created from drug cocktails.
A-yeesh.
And the “paper” work:
1) Every Monday I post: Yup.
B) Set weekly goals: Competition Nephlim done except for bases.
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): Shroud Mage fleet, not great.
D) Don't anger the Succubis: A-yai-yai-yai-yai. Success.
4/4 well ok then. One question.
A-yes?
What with the “A-”whatever?

@ Inevitable_Faith: BloodBrides, Daemonetes, and Reaper miniatures as a start. Right now Urias and their creations are a vague nebulous idea at the moment. The only certainty is that I'll be using the female from the Eldar Triumverate as the base model for Urias themself.

In other news, I'm working on condensing and mobilizing my painting setup, Gangs of Commorragh will be mine soon, I must not buy fleet number 3 or 4, plan got busted in a good way.
Explain.
Ah, there you is. Behold, Nephlim are painted. The Crows have not been. Bases have made playable. 18 frigates and 3 cruisers are paint-er-ated.


What the boat?
Eh, the ships and whaleZ weren't that hard
Still, 21 bow-ahts.
But 6 more whaleZ, 2 more of each type of cruiser, and 2 battleships!
But shadapp!
...
...
Goals?
A-yeah.
Oh nooo!
1) Every Monday I post: Yup.
B) Set weekly goals: Competition Nephlim bases, the rest of the fleets.
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): AH HA HA HA HA HA! no. 1 battle ship, 4 cruisers, 6 frigates. and 12 whaleZ
D) Don't anger the Succubis: Succeed.
4/4 again. I'm scareded
Woe is you.

@ Inevitable_Faith: I've always liked the look of those ships myself which is why I bought them.

So news: I didn't have any money on my credit card when Gangs was available, no problem right? Nope, sold out in 2 days. I reeeeeealy hope the FLGS was able to order me a copy but I haven't heard anything yet.
...

My superior intellect has determined you're a teensey bit grumpy.
... no, I'm ing FURIOUS!!! But enough of that, didn't buy anything last week but still spent $20 and went home with some new minis I don't want/need after gaming last week.
... How the svarg does that work?
Didn't want anything that was in my budget but needed to spend $5 as an entry fee for a 1 round tournament. So I got a gift certificate. I didn't win but the organizer is awesome and I got a mystery box in the raffle everyone but the top winners are entered in. The way that the organizer and FLGS handle it is a percentage of the entry fee is used as prize support in the form of gift certificates and depending on how much we spend the top 1-3 players get that instead.
Good deal.
Yup, and now, progress:


1/2 bloods based, fleets worked on, and Special Edition Witchling Handler (SteamPunk Duelist) built.
I thought the fleets were supposed to be done.
They were, I forgot one of the cruisers was miscast and I'm still adapting to my new sleep cycle.
Slacker.
Ok, opinion time: 42 which Legend for next months competition?



Farm Boy, The Mandalorian, Hello Vader, Captain Henderson, or Mad Hatter Mr. Jack Hyde the Ripper AKA Seamus
Uh... Resolutions!
That wasn't an option.
Tough.
1) Every Monday I post: Juuust missed it, close enough.
B) Set weekly goals: The rest of the fleets.
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): Somehow.
D) Don't anger the Succubis: ... Dangit, you succeed again!

Actually the bases are just 2-3 layers of flock, ink and the shrubbery NI! and occasionally tall grass. I'll go more in depth later but today is a drop and run post.

With 1.5 votes Seamus has won the planning stages. Brain and painting que are a tad sadistic/evil currently so I may do chaotic neutral Henderson or whiny boyscout Luke as an attempt at decency.

Really don't need another Raider but realization happened:



Plan is to build this one "normal" and give it tarnished bronze floors using the shiny new weapon of weathering pigments (never before attempted by me) and bone hull with blood crosses daubed on the hull, like an evil ambulance.

Hoeeeleee svarg. For the first time in 15+ years I truly give a what the DC hero is doing.
Whuzzat?
I've got a soft spot for Joker and Harley, other than them I don't care about DC. It just doesn't look interesting too me.
So?
I can't wait for Wonder Woman 2.
Wait, have they even said they will be making a second one?
Not that I've heard. But if they don't a giant needs too go glowstick on Warner Brothers and DC comics executives.
So I take it it's good.
I love the Marvel Cinematic universe (NOT X-men 2+, Wolverine, Derptastic 4, SpiderMan not counting the one coming out soon, etc.), I love Ryan Renolds' Deadpool, Disney has made 2 great Star Wars movies, best of the 8 in my opinion (if I wanted sociopolitical I'd watch NextGen Treck and original trilogy Luke is a whiny baby). I would sacrifice Guardians of the Galaxy 3, or Deadpool 2 with Keira Knightley as Cable for Wonder Woman 2.
BULL!!!
Nope. The only reason the next Star Wars isn't on the sacrifice list is the same reason I want Wonder Woman 2. Quality action movie with a non-fan-service kick- female lead / not another white guy saving the universe.
... Hmm I guess that makes sense coming from you. Still, no teen Groot or no more Deadpool?
A price worth paying.
So if Wonder Woman had been a white guy?
Fun action movie on par with the Marvel movies, I wouldn't complain about a sequel but I wouldn't be hoping for it either.
Mmmkay, on topic now?
Hey! Geekery is on topic!
Minis, now.
Fine. Boats have stalled.
Why?
Live fire learning on the raider, and cooled down enough Evil is gooood. I be spending money I really shouldn't.


... Explain.
L-R: I bought a DE starter last week, it has been cut up good, I bought Rouvagarou today, big honkin undead fairy wolves, I got a mispack of no A sculpt but 2 B sculpt, oops happens, I'm sure they'll fix it, Seamus is doing well, my raider is suffering the learning curve for weathering powders.
Ah, okay.
Oh, Box of bones arrived before gaming.
...What kind of skeleton did you buy? And more importantly why?
No, Bones.


Oooh, that makes much more sense.
That's the meh, Here's the terrain:


Ooo, grave-y.
... Bad pun, no biscuit. And the shiny:


Is, Isat a,
Grave Golem?


No, the, the
Shubby-Mommy?


Smexy, but no.
Shipwreck Titan/Golem?


NO SVARG IT!
Marthrangul?


Yes!
I know, beautiful.
Yup.
Resolutions:
1) Every Monday I post: Fail.
B) Set weekly goals: Svarg only knows!
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): Fail.
D) Don't anger the Succubis:One success.

@ Inevitable_Faith: Yup, weathering powders, bronze decks for H.A.M.Y.'s ride + wrack cleaners = coroded decks. Early playing indicates I needed to add solid plates under the raised decks and finish everything else first, dull-coat, then use the powders. I really need to re-prioritize the raider now...
As for the bones: Loads of minis just arrived adding another 3+ months to my multi year backlog. I'll cool it on the buying right? Ah-hahaha, no. Lets add Zombicide Green Horde, 6 humanoids, 2 droids, 2 undead chunky dire wolves and a big ol' snake in there. And 3 more human size-ish fairies soon.
As many have said, with slight variations; "Your suffering shall be legendary."
Ok, lets get this out of the way, Resolutions:
1) Every Monday I post: Ha ha, no.
B) Set weekly goals: there's been constant progress, lets finish up the handler and wretches.
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress): Ah ha, ah hahaha, hahaha, OH SVARG NO!

1/4 FAILURE.


What is done? Seamus.

Today: (Shamelessly stoleded from my Farce Book)
Had an enjoyable day today unintentionally grief-ing my opponents.
Game one, gave my opponent a tricky challenge of a game during the bulk of it. Didn't realize he'd missed the end of round warning so he was playing long game tactics in the last 5 minutes. We tied 4 vs 4 when he could have won 5 or 6 to 3.

Lunch: Organizer (as usual) got Evil Greasers (My ex-employer) pizza. Knowing I always passed he grabbed me a sandwich. Awesome guy.

Game two, vs a newer guy. Took a leader for the second time ever. One he'd played before and hated. Made his brand new shiny (24% of his list) useless with one model I hired (12% of mine), and a guy I summoned basically for free using a dirty trick I learned from being on the receiving end of. I then proceeded to have my leader use the same victim against him adding insult to injury. However he got the last laugh as I gloriously lost 3 to 9.

Game 3, technically a bye, organizer vs me. Didn't "count" in determining tournament score. I was still in tournament mindset. He played an under-powered theme list that is extremely hard to play all day regardless of goals. I took the obvious 3 victory points I didn't have to do anything to claim and a reasonably competitive list. He fought an uphill battle and got 6 vp, I earned 6-7 vp and got the 3 free vp for a 9-10 vs 6 win. inaccuracy because we didn't bother with my last couple actions after he was activated out in the last turn and the winner was clear.

Not my greatest moments, but only one was my fault. I feel bad about how sucky of games for my opponents had but my only dk move was taking the 3 free vp in the friendly game at the end so I still had fun and honestly expected game three to be a lot closer.

And what about the purchases? HMMMM?
I only bought the Titania box and evil droids! The Scion was a prize!

I'm really happy with how Seamus turned out but something tells me the familiar legends will fair better in this month's UnOfficial Dakka Painting Competition.

And Titania is just one of Reaper's blacks (Label is too faded to read) dry-brushed with Reaper Clotted Red. Sooo not really natural. If I wanted a human skin-tone around the same color I'd swap the red for a 50/50 mix of Reaper Mahogany and Reaper Earth Brown. In generic terms, dark red/brown color and neutral brown. You could also base coat with the brown mix and use a black wash for similar results.

Lets add pretties!
Silurids done:


Also spent an hour giving the skin on these their brush coat to get the spots the spray missed so I can start slowly finishing them ready for dipping.


Tried out a couple of my Fey earlier and have this weeks goal, Thorn gets progress (probably just skin), Aeslin to assembled (need to do her legs, dress interior, and support roots before I can finish assembling her), and finish the bloody duelist/handler (her sword. That is all she's needed for 2-3 days now).

Weird thing, I'd been drooling over her kit for a while now but hadn't given paint-job any thought. As soon as I could after I got her I started on her and she turned out great winging it.

Those female knights and Pirate lady look great. I'm not against the pinup/sexy style of female models many companies make (I'm a huge fan of KD miniatures after all) but it is refreshing to see that some more realistic female models are out there and well done. You've done great on them. The blue imp guy has a vicious looking weapon, love the beat copper look he has for his armour.

On another note I see some Wych bitz on the painting table, anticipation rising.

Let's check that shall we?
1) Every Monday you post:
:GLARE: Skipping ahead now.
B) Set weekly goals:

3) Try to... Skipping that.
D) Don't anger the Succubis: Success!

Do I have make you paint fidy eleben nekkid shaved monkey ladies?
... What?
I'm the in this duo, not you. I will make you paint exploitative, god-awfully sculpted minis and the entire time if that's what it takes.
Please don't.
Good, now what with the brushes?
Oh, my current collection of "good" brushes, AKA the ones I'll use. I picked up some new toys at Dick Blick today:


The paint shapers I've been drooling over and look to be interesting tools for sculpting. Some DaVinci Red Sable because I've been rough on the Black Sable I have and been pleased with them and the red are cheaper and I like they're not as stiff. A Blick Red Sable to see how I like them as another alternate (besides the DaVincis) to the Windsor Newton Sieries 7s. Some sacrificial Blick Ox hair that run $.98-$1.75 for serviceable natural hair brushes good for primer/base coats. An Ulrecht Synthetic I took a $3 chance on, and 2 unknown umpteen aught brushes I found in the "depths" of my desk.
Ah, we shall not speak on the money spent.
I've been having a bad couple weeks, most of it was on sale, and it was cheaper than a new computer or drive.
Read previous, now we skipped an important step in posting.
So, @ Inevitable_Faith:

Uh, gimmie a sec here.
... Okay, got it.
1) Happy to hear that, the Knights were lazy style but I tried to push the pirate/swashbuckler/duelist/whatever to the next level. Glad the lousy photos aren't destroying them completely.
2) I have no problem with cheesecake either, I just leave that to others. Personally I'd rather put my artistic efforts into something I can display in public.
3) Hehe, the blue "imp" as you call him in that pose is still almost as tall as a human standing upright and nicely fills a 40mm.
4) The armor and weapon were an excuse to play with a "new" dark brown metalic I picked up about a month back.
E) Well more progress up there somewhere, hopefully next week will have better pics.
Say goodnight now.
Nighty night!

My goodness that shelf of models is getting full, that's a good amount of time and effort put into all of that. Very impressive. I see a yellow armoured scourge, love yellow minis, such a lovely colour, I'm excited to see where that goes. Hopefully this next week treats you a lot better, I can sympathize about having some crumby weeks as of late.

Palitine Il

@ Inevitable_Faith: I was feeling like I'd stalled so I pulled my Neverborn out of their bag to see how I was actually doing. And the answer is a lot better than I thought! This week is definitely going better, random urge popped in and was seized upon and something delicious is almost done:


Valkyrie, "Leader" of The Crows. The past 5 to claim leadership have died gruesome deaths. Valkyrie has so far refused to officially take charge but the rest do as she says.

Is she the urge or delicious? And what about the rest?
Delicious, and right here:


As for the urges:



Brother Influzia

Shortly before the Horus Heresy Brother Influzia was sent as an honor guard with an imperial envoy on a mission involving the Dark Angels. Shortly after their arrival the Dark Angel battle barge they were aboard was attacked by orkish pirates. During the battle Brother Influzia took charge of a newly inducted squad and commanded a successful attack on the pirate's engines that was the key to victory. However his armor was severely damaged in the attack rendering it useless. As a token of respect the Dark Angels gave him an honorary promotion to sergeant of the squad he had led and rearmed him with a master crafted great sword and a new suit of armor using a mix of newly supplied Mk IV armor, experimental components, and what could be salvaged from his ruined Mk III suit.

And Gang Strike II:


Won't they be hard to paint?
Nope.


... You got me.
Woohoo! Unfortunately they have ... 3? More Crows ahead of them in line.
Anything else?
... Ta ta for now?
Good enough.

And because I can't leave well enough alone:


Good night!
GO TO BED!
