Nice work Adrassil and tneva82.

Kal Jericho and Scabs - for the Unofficial Painting Challenge.



Also mailed a book to a fellow gamer.

A bit of Milliput action tonight - fixing the shattered gun barrel on my Lemartes (tricky), hiding the join on my Terminator Captain’s cloak (far less tricky), and making a tentacle with the leftover Milliput that I had mixed to put on my DG Rhino. Also undercoated a bunch of Necrons.

Now that my order of bases has finally arrived I can get on with basing all those undead 1/2lings I've been cleaning up/prepping.
Next week should see painting commence on the 1st 500 pts worth.

Finished painting two Thousand Sons characters, feels like it took me forever to finish them!

Thanks, mate! Yours are looking frigging great!

Also, those Thousand Sons are damned good, Skywave. No wonder it seemed to take you ages.

Uhh, a bit, sprayed most of my third Dire Avengers squad good old Chaos Black and painted the white parts with Corax White base paint. Injured my wrist weeding the garden so that was a bit harder than it could've been. Rewinding time a bit to yesterday, I bought some Casandora Shade and used it on 1st DA squad's yellow parts because they'd seemed a bit flat and well, it worked quite well, so they might be finally finished after I began painting them, like, probably ten years ago, maybe? Frig, it is about that long ago, them and my 2nd DA squad, too. Also, while waiting for the Chaos spray to finish I applied some Biel-Tan shade on my Autarch, for the mid-tone.

Uhh, yeah, should be writing but meh lol

I've been removing mould lines off some Runewars stuff and gearing up to finish off some space marines.

Those are really nice characters Skywave.

I started on some metal Necromunda beasts - Giant Rats, Ripper Jakes and Millisaurs.

Thanks for the comment Adrassil.

Stripping paint off of some Empire models while using greenstuff to make new bases for other projects.

Thanks guys! Glad you like them!

Working on a Thousand Sons Dread right now (the FW kind, not the Helbrute kind) but it ended up being so simple to do that I will finish it today.

Adding tufts on the flocked bases of my 15mm Medieval Germans to improve them.

Well, most of the undead 1/2lings are cleaned up & based.
20 ghouls, about 6 bases worth of spirits, & 2 skull catapults to go.

Base coated most of my 2nd Dire Avengers squad with Macragge Blue, which took a little while. Then later fixed up the whites and blacks, then painted on the Wagghh Green parts. Also, did a bit more work on my Autarch. The Shade paints make painting much easier than what it was fifteen years ago, or so. But it was much easier with the inks? My friend got me and my other friend back painting 40k on a whim a long time ago and he taught me a technique easy as hell and it made the models, as the great Charlie Kelly once said look "AMAYZING" you coat it with the...thin panting stuff and stand it, let it dry. Then go over it again then hang it upside down and it goes into the edges and bing bang boom you've got a nicely shaded model. While I don't think they had the character of my hand-painted models, it's so much easier.

Started work on my painting challenge entry. Aiming for a shiny white armour and some NMM details as a test for myself. Haven't done anything like this before.

Packing up my entire collection preparing or a house move. Yikers! It's a lot.

Last night no painting but did get 40 ghouls assembled minus heads. Today demoing AOS for newbie with 1k game and then plan to get the ghouls finished and ready for priming.

Have 74 ghouls to paint...thankfully these are done by contrast so reasonably fast. Bases are going to be the slow thing.

Making a start on my entry for the painting challenge.

I finished three metal Necromunda Millisaurs.

Working on detail for my Chaplain. Purity seals, cloak highlights and so forth.

Cleaned & based the remaining undead 1/2lings: 20 ghouls, 6 bases worth of spirits, & 2 skull catapults.

Punched out all the card components for the Aliens board game. I need to get some little ziplock bags to keep all the different tokens safe.

So after finishing up the Dread, I went on and did my second Rhino. These two were really fast and fun to do!

Played a game of Axis & Allies 1914 this afternoon/evening with some friends.
The game moves so slowly that in-between turns I managed to clean and assemble (from box to finished models) 10 AoS Marauder horsemen, an Exalted Drathbringer, & a Slaughterpriest for my AoS Slaves to Darkness army....

Priming up the Stormcast side of Soul Wars I reckon, would be good to get at least that done, maybe paint a few more Nighthaunts.

Hour 3 of an online Dark Heresy game.

It's a big combat. I've missed every shot and failed every test I've been called to make. And I rolled a 1 for initiative so I'm going after everyone.

I wish I was anywhere else...

Started to work on three oop metal Shining Spears.

Building another box of AoS Marauder Horsemen as I sit around wasting time waiting on an important UPS shipment that requires a signature.
I literally have 5 different things I want/need to do today, not here at home, & the closest I could narrow the delivery down to was "By 9pm"....

So, building more horsemen.

Blocking in the different colours on a Baal Predator before adding shade.

Writing prayers and incantations on purity seals. Hopefully finishing my Chaplain today. Possibly starting on the edge highlighting and weathering of my dread.

Played 2 games and half a game. Rest has to be finished tomorrow. Too sleepy.

Lesson learned. Need more daemons. I'm generating ridiculous number of depravity points.

Played BB 2020 today.
