Finishing touches on Goro the samurai and making a start on Ra's al Ghul now that the rest of the crew is finished.

Today I finished putting chapter badges on the last squad of Lamenters. I have one kitbashed lieutenant to do as well but I'm saving him for last.

Worked on 5 models for this months painting challenge.

Farthing around with building resin cast Eldar dark reapers
I've decided I don't care about paying nearly twice the price on ebay for OOP metal models...

Assembled the last delivery from Conquest ready to prime tomorrow.

Though I did change the head from the Chaos lord as the one it comes with is ridiculous, even for nurgle..

then assembled the five blight lord terminators from the infection cluster box.

Worked on 5 models for this months painting challenge. 1 is basically finished now...4 to go.

Cleaning more Sector Mechanicus floor panels...

Finishing up the last two units for a Cryx commission since I'm on a trip tomorrow

Gambling on my compressor being quiet enough to airbrush after 10/11pm tonight at my place

Painting terrain bits for Kill team

Cleaning and assembling some of the Arena Rex Helleniki in preparation for games tomorrow

I finished a squad of German grenadiers for Bolt Action. I bought a bottle of VMC German Grey and I’m going to paint a Pz.II as an evening project. Should be easy since it’s just going to be drybrushing and washes with the Early War scheme.

Took some time out from painting and play tested home rules for Lost Patrol, solo play. Couple of play tests later and pretty much nailed it.

Built and in the process of painting the Abominant from Tooth and Claw.

Finished the models for this months painting challenge. Now to add the waterslide transfers and seal.

I finished up my Blood Throne and will start trying to organize my Khorne Daemon army.

Played my first game of TT Battletech in over a decade.

Base design of my NDKs, the missing part in my GK army.

Was going to finish some Tzeentch Chaos Warriors but im missing some paint. Guess I'm going shopping for what I'm missing.

Also waiting for Greenstuff to dry on a bunch of bases I sculpted for my next batch of Bloodbound.

So, this is a little self-indulgent, but I forgot about this account for years until I decided to check up on it all of a sudden. I DID NOT expect almost 12k replies and a still active thread!

Glad to see I contributed something worthwhile to the forum while I was a teen, but I'm also taken aback. It's nice to know everyone's enjoying the hobby still! Personally I'm just as lazy as I was 6 years ago, so my daily update will have to be that I'm watching other people create amazing new armies from scratch, instead of doing it myself.

So what are you are all doing today for games like WH40k, WHFB and other war games? Me, I'm planning on making a Skaven army list and talking to my friend a bit more to try and convince him to purchase a dwarf army he's interested in, how about the rest of Dakka?

Did your friend get the dwarf army?

Added my spider gang patches to the models for this months painting challenge.

Still working on my Sector Mechanicus terrain. Progress is being made...

Written up homebrew rules for solo play in Lost Patrol...

https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/771658.page

Working on some team Yankee stuff. Put a cobra gunship together with a higher flying base, as it’s a desert force the base was gritted and left to dry plus a palm tree put on the base.
Just waiting for my camels to arrive from battlefront. Yes this force is getting ready for some oil wars supplement action.

Cleaning up some crates I printed off from RocketShipGames. $1 for a shed-load of 3d patterns does the job when you want scatter terrain.
That, and painting Sector Mechanicus, like Gordy is doing.

Base design for my three NDKs, part 2.

A lot of work there Gordy2000.

Sealed the models for this months painting challenge. Now to photograph the finished models.

Cheers,

finished the crates and barrels from my 3rd Conquest! container, also put the drybrushing etc on a Plague Burst Crawler, lacks corrosion though as yet.

done a bit more on some blightlord terminators

Trying to make a hand look like it's petting an otter.

The end result is more like punching the otter on the top of the head but it's better than i thought
