Putting the final touches on my monthly competition piece. Just in time!

Started work on the Xenomorphs from Aliens, I don’t think they’re going to take long.

Continued on the old plastic terrain.

Not today but over a few days, I tried to glue together three of my eight old school metal Harlequins. The Troupemaster didn't have the stuck to connect him to his tactical rock so I put a pin through his base and stuck him on it like that (I have another one which has all the parts, though) Repainted the bases with base texture paint as it looked a bit...sparse, they seem a bit better now. Painted the face of my 2nd Exarch of my 1st Dire Avengers squad, pretty happy with how he turned out, thinking of painting his hair blond or maybe even white. Then painted the base of my Autarch with wraithbone base paint and a bit of blue.

All my Harlequins have blades or chainswords and fusion pistols so I might have to buy more for more equipment options. I realised I can make four Kill Teams from four different factions. Chaos from the Officio Assassinorum: Execution Force board game, Harlequins, Eldar and Dark Angels. Wondering if I could get some terrain and try to play it with my flatmate using my miniatures, that'd be pretty cool.

Continuing to slowly build and paint the Wargames Factory vikings that Warlord sells. Only 20 more to be completed. Ugh.

Primed my remaining grey pile of shame.
All Necrons - 20 Warriors, SK, 2 Menhirs, 3 LHD, and 6 Scarabs.
Now my pile of shame is black primed.

I have continued my work on the simple terrain (made from the tree from Conquest Jotnar and Oathmark bases) by fulfiling the gaps using cut to pieces Oathmark bases melted with Revell glue, and making a silhouette of the base to look more ''natural''.

Small update - changed little the silhouette of the base and cut off part of the right branch.

Primed the old plastic terrain, now painting has begun.

Cleaning & washing a FW Chaos Dwarf lot I got several days ago.

Made another simple terrain using part of Conquest Jotnar kit and bases from Oathmark.

Spent 3 hours airbrushing the basecoat on my Dark Imperium marines and Guilliman.

Could have done it in 15 mins if I had a rattle can of Macragge blue.

God I hate airbrushing.

Painting the bases of my 1st Dire Avenger squad, wraithbone base paint. Most of my six-man Striking Scorpions squad and my Autarch then began dry brushing on Terminus Stone in preparation for my game of Kill Team against my cousin...today. Of course got a lot of wraithbone on the legs of my models (made sure to thin the hell out of it with water, which was easy enough to fix. My SSs will be a bit more of a challenge, though) Also tried to paint a pupil of the 2nd DA Exarch, it's...okay. As the great Shrek once said: "That'll do Donkey. That'll do." For now at least. Also, fixed up some paint splats, or at least I think they're paint splats on my Autarch's wings. Valkian Aralian, Autarch of Dalorsia, leader of the Dalorsian infiltration group, alongside a Farseer who I haven't thought the name of yet.

I have to type up my ideas for a map based AoS campaign.

This evening I have to clean & wash a Chaos Dwarf Magma Cannon.

Working on a Standard Bearer for my unit of Dwarf Spearmen.

Finished my Aliens last night. Colour matched them to pictures of the original film props and delighted with the results.

Started working on repairing and converting some really damaged oop jetbikes and making Shining Spears out of them.

Cheers,

Finished another 26 stormcast. I might actually get 6k painted by next saturday for epic game vs skaven. Seeing start of march it was more like 2.2k(some not even　used in 6k game) good result

Today I need to:
1) apply the purple sheen to Transcendent C'Tan #3
2) prime & chrome the Void Dragon C'Tan
3) make them a foam tray
4) finish up some notes for a Sigmar campaign
5) finish up some notes for an upcoming D&D session.
Optional) get some assembly & piming started on a Chaos Dwarf army I recently acquired.

Storage solution day!

Recutting and repacking my Fyreslayers KR foam to fit into 2 GW cases.
Rearranging my Tau cases as I just picked up some flyers.
Totally redoing my Astra Militarum cases to allow for a custom Tallarn force and 3 new vehicles, including a rather lovely (I think) Chimera command tank made by Archon Studio, the 'Wolverine' tank.

Re-arranging my painted Harlequins, Space Wolves and Idoneth armies in cabinets to allow room for... well more something.

Checking out Detolf / Argos cabinets & sources of extra shelves & lighting so I can maybe display my aforementioned Astra Militarum forces... if they'll even fit!

Not much today, in all honesty. Tried to wash the traces of crap off my Angaran Chronicles Hero Forge minis I made the mistake of priming and not washing beforehand and stuck some arms that'd fallen off a couple of my Dire Avengers when I went into town to play Kill Team Commanders with my cousin yesterday. A little deflated as the Autarch I spent so many hours painting was useless in that game and died in the most anti-climactic way possible and it was all my dumb fault lol Learned a lot from that game, though!

Finished an Ogryn bodyguard from Victoria Miniatures, thus kicking off.. hubris alarm engaged.. 24 minis in 24 days. 1/24 done.

about to do the wash for the latest batch of trollblood I've been working on

Oh by the Emperor that'll be a challenge, mate. Good luck! And looking good.

Continuing work on my technoarchaeologist conversion of a GSC magus.




She's about half way done, need to do some extra highlighting, sort out the base and finish off the details. Quite happy with her so far.

Finishing up more stormcast putting completed models this month to 65(mind you biggest work was done last month. Not 65 models start to finish in 5 days ).

Just 2 ballista and crew and 6k list all painted. Pretty sure i can do that for saturday's game...

Should be wrapping up a trio of warlocks I worked on over the weekend.

Thanks!

And I'll be "cheating" / "playing it safe" by doing not just big models for this challenge. Chances are the Og may be the biggest one of the bunch.

Laaaaaaaate last night, due to insomnia, I've finished an Imperial Guard veteran with shotgun, along with a Steel Legion officer just now. I had hoped to batch paint three Steel Legion models, but the movie I watched proved to be more entertaining than anticipated.

Crappy picture, due to potato quality of my ancient iPad and well, bad weather going on right now, we's got snow.



But that's 3/24 done, hopefully tomorrow I'll get the Steel Legion sergeant and trooper done as well. After that, a more detailed or somewhat complex model to even out the bulk painting.

I have no hobby supplies at hand at the moment, so I'm sitting around sketching terrain to build when I do.

Also doodling on some random tables for solo gaming - loot, encounters etc

Milliput Monday! Added more bits to my Death Guard Rhino for this month’s painting challenge. Small but more to do tomorrow and then hopefully can prime when wind calms down.
