The Grotsnik Corp Bump Feelerer 9,000. It only looks like several bricks crudely gaffer taped to a cricket bat.

Finished bases for my This Is Not A Test warband, and started painting Frank Miller Batman and Killer Croc. Finished 2 Mongrels from said TNT warband, so now I 'only' have 9 models to go for that as well, and the 2 Batman models I started today are going to be very quick jobs it looks like. Once they're done I only have 3 models left to finish from the Batman backlog until my Gotham City Sirens and The Other Side models arrive (Hulkbuster Iron Man, Professor Zoom and Wonder Woman on warhorse) so I can start making a dent in my quite large collection of unpainted Malifaux models in the meantime
Cut some hardboard to make terrain bases, also a bit more work on some 15mm Normans, have some baggage train stuff nearly ready, ditto a third command stand to be my overall commander then a further batch of archers and foot knights though they just have skin tones so far
DBA event at Bakewell in a couple of weeks so trying to get ready in time

So, two and a half years after the last parts were delivered, I’m finally starting work my Millennium Falcon project. Here’s what I’ve assembled so far:
Spoiler:
Excuse the messily presentation, but my desk is currently full of paint pots and Celestial Lions. Also, in case you want to know how big this peice of junk is, here is it’s 1:1 scale blueprint compared to the universal unit of measurement, the banana (and my old guddies)

I was planning on doing some painting today for some more marines to reinforce my Iron Warriors, however, I instead ended up playing a few games and Blood Red Skies and have to say I really enjoyed it.

More work on Miller Batman and Killer Croc to break up a take home exam I'm working on, aiming to have them close to finished so I can wrap them up tomorrow night.
Converting my Primaris list to DeathWatch - because Intercessors are Great again, damnit.
Fun chance to do some head swaps too, but I'm getting tired of popping off all these shoulderpads and getting a whole arm in the process..
Finished the cockpits of my DA flyers right before I sell them off :p
Going to keep doing the conversions. Hoping to get everything but the chapter shoulderpads done by July 1st so I'll be on track for BAO

Finished off Miller Batman and Killer Croc last night, working on last touches for Professor Zoom and touching up some Amazons. Only 2 days till I'm finished uni for the semester as well, so I'm hoping my recent hobby kick continues into the tons of spare time I'll have in the next few weeks
Messing around with some branches from a bush out the front, horse hair and hot glue gun to make some test trees for my bolt action.
Never really been happy with the ready made trees or tree armatures. Although the 4 ground trees do look good il be damned if I’m paying 22 quid a tree.

Working on my TNT warband, hopefully I'll have it done by the game day next week. I only have 2 Batman models left to paint though, so for completeness' sake I might finish them off during the week instead
I finished painting my Might Lord of Khorne! I want to keep working on my Bloodbound but it's too humid to basecoat anything so I'm probably going to work on some terrain projects I have lying around.

Hopefully I can finish some Dark Angels Scouts, and get started in earnest on a second squad of them. I did sell off a bunch of my Daemons stuff yesterday (ended up trading some of them for a Tau Hammerhead), so that's less temptation to flesh them out into a full-fledged army.

Built, primed and washed a pair of Helverins and a Valiant, also built a Forgeshrine and started work on a regular old Errant, only the arms and body, still need to do the legs, which will require some drastic cutting.

Applied homemade glow in the dark paint to my Hellblaster squad. Letting them charge on a windowsill before I decide if I've done a good thing or not.

Cleaning up my Khorne Bloodbound models that I bought a few years ago but never used. Might as well try AOS with the new edition coming out.
Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.
1500 pts
