I've recently returned to 40k after about 25 years and currently repairing and repainting the parts of my collection that I've found so far during a clearout. At the moment, I'm working through my plastic Imperial Guard army. The ones that didn't need any work are pretty much finished apart from varnishing, so today I'm starting on those that were badly assembled or have been broken in storage - the hard part!

Finished building my metal OOP Eldar models. Three Dreads, three Walkers, 5 Warlocks and 1 Farseer. Got some extra 60mm bases from a friend so was able to put the finishing touch and glue them in place!

I wrote another Kings of War battle report.

Did some more work on some bolt action winter Germans and made a small base up for a German sniper in Stalingrad.

Mostly reading through the new 9th edition rules.

Played two test games of pulp alley trying different methods for a sword and sorcery setting.

Finished building the reanimator. Very fragile model, but it looks amazing. It has way more detail than I thought from the initial images.

So far I'm getting back into the hobby. Picked up 9th, dug out some of my un-built or painted series 1 of Space Marine Heros to shake off a bit painting rust.

As last time I was serious about the hobby was back when black reach? Was the new starter box.

Finished painting/weathering my Rheboks and varnished them. One is just missing it's commander at this point.

Finished up a province reassignment: Lothern to Chrace.

Finally finished all the Chaos Power armor with the raptors. Flipping over to Cultists as I rebuild all my lists. I had 60 cultists in my old list - that was a price increase that hurt, let me tell you:

I converted a 40k outrider into a 30k outrider. Twas far easier to do than i thought it would be.

Painting necrons for tomorrow's first 9th ed game. Not quite completed but better than bare plastic Skorpek lord, overlord, 3 skorpek destroyers and 10 warriors with reaper. Aka stuff I'll be using tomorrow.

Did some more painting.

Cheers,

Crushed of bits of brick i found laying around at work to be used as rubble for Stalingrad terrain and will be doing some more winter Germans in a bit.

Decided I'm going to polish off these cultists before I move on to indomitus. Started with these third party models:



Also tried a metallic orange paint spray that I couldn't get to adhere to anything even with primer. Tossed it in the trash, if anyone knows a nice metallic blue or orange spray for minis let me know.

Very nice , I like the blue on these a lot. Was it mainly contrast on a metallic spray.

Putting the finishing touches to a unit of Grots and repairing a unit of Interceptors that suffered a fall.

Built my Indomitus Marines and the Corpse Grinder Cult from Dark Uprising.

You can do similar with that based on other people's experience but I started this army before contrast came and won't change to keep style uniform. It's airbrushed gunmetal all over, from 45 degree angle steel and then from top silver(vallejo model colours). Then transparent blue again from vallejo. That's it.

If you have airbrush it's very quick and easy process. For just odd model or two it's more annoying due to airbrush cleaning and waiting to dry but can't have everything

Worked on another terrain piece. Another bridge of chip board, granny grating, and chicken wire.

Finished a tomb scorpion for my game tomorrow. So stoked to play fantasy.

Hot glued palm trees and jungle plants to xps foam bases to make a jungle board for skirmish games.

Continued working on another terrain piece. A bridge of chip board, granny grating, and chicken wire.

Been on assembly line mode. 10 necron praetorians, another indominatus set, cryptek. Did go and set up terrain for tomorrow's lotr tournament i'll be running

Started painting 12 cavalry scout dismounts a CRV commander, 3 tank commanders and a tank loader. A modest batch of desert guardsmen.
Assembled and attached smoke discharger clusters to a Mortian battle tank turret.

Finished that bridge and started on two Eldar Phoenix Lords.

Cheers,

Got most of the way through painting a giant scorpion from Reaper to be a dread fiend for Kings of War

Finished building my first of 3 sets of the indomitus marines. Plenty of subtle conversions and pose changes here there and everywhere- really taking my time with these models, they're beautiful!

Finished painting tankers and cav soldiers. Varnished them and based cav dismounts.
