Painting my Deathclaw and some feral ghouls and some assorted colours on other things

Did a bit of work on my Solitare then decided on a whim to work on the bases of my Eldar and Harlequins. I see why I was so hesitant to do it it's pretty tedious, but got through a lot of it. Perhaps finishing basing them will make me move on and assemble and paint more of my backlog. Been in GW a few times looking at the Harlequin HQs in particular, but made myself think of what I've already gotta do from my backlog, so don't need more minis and that's made me not buy anything more since I bought the Shadow Warriors for my Warcry warband.

I finished magnetizing and completing the movement trays for my Dark Elf army. Or atleast this roughly 1600pts of it. I still have 20 Executioners and a few random Corsairs and Dark Riders. I dont have enough to make full units with them yet but I'll slowly get them once I find lots online that are worth it.

This army is one I am most proud of as I do have a 2000 point list out of it and the whole thing only cost me 180 bucks. Lucky bidding online and a bunch of boxes I got for free at GW events let this happen.



Now to work on that Gnoll Warband I had an Idea about.

I've primed a steampunk forge and 20 3d printed trees, some of them almost 20cm tall and very gloomy.

Four weeks into our current 40k Crusade & I've reached the point where I have to consolidate & transcribe my paperwork into something legible....
Too many notes/#s on too many pieces of paper.

And then I get to create a lv.13 Pathfinder character!

I'll finish the evening off by building another ogre for Warcry (this time a pirate man-eater)

Trying to finish up the Survivors from the Fallout: Wasteland Warfare starter set so I can do the bases on them and the creatures I've already finished (Feral Ghouls, Deathclaw and Dogmeat) and working on King Shark for Batman to add to my Suicide Squad

Yes! Finally finished base painting the bases of my Eldar with Wraithbone as it depicts my Eldar of Craftworld Dalorsia battling Slaaneshi invaders including Emperor's Children with Lucius the Eternal among them I wrote a fanfic years ago about it. One of the highlights being a few squads of War Spiders teleporting inside a Chaos Titan to kill its crew and detonate its power source from the inside. I think next time I'm going to paint on the debris on the bases then undercoat them with Wraithbone spray separately so I don't have to spend so much time painting them manually. I've got some.

Summer vacation continues with painting humans, gobbos and squigs

Just went over the bases of my Eldar with Seraphim Sepia shade ink on the Wraitbone base paint. Ready to be dry brushed with Terminus Stone sooner or later. Feeling into it might assemble and paint my Howling Banshees next.

Instead of doing prep for my True Detective vs the Mythos session (which is tomorrow), I Dry brushed my Eldar bases with Terminus Stone, doing one coat over all of them and the 2nd coat on two of my squads of Dire Avengers. Also rebased my old metal Autarch with Sweeping Hawk wings, power sword and fusion pistol (although he isn't holding it) To make him in line with the newer plastic Autarch. I'm happy with how they're looking.

Starting on the last things I need to finish off my stuff for Fallout (Super Mutants) and Malifaux Bayou

Finishing cleaning up a Finecast Ogre (the pirate).

Mostly finished basing my "finished" Eldar so far took these photos while True Detective playing in the background lol, they're blurry as feth, though didn't seem like that when I took them, my bad. The trio of Autarchs in the middle I have two of them named, Autarch Valkian Aralian, leader of the Dalorsian special forces and on the jetbike is Master-Autarch Raloth Arlyandor the overall leader of the army, he's the general I guess and their Harlequin allies.

Assembling my three remaining Howling Banshees without instructions (which I know are somewhere around here, but I'm too lazy to look for them lol) there are so many parts per model it isn't funny, it's not like with my old Dire Avengers when I could go in and just put them together willy nilly, gotta think it through. A pretty fun challenge.

Spent the evening down at the shop erasing an opponents misconception that Necrons are a weak army in current 40k.

Finished the last of my Fallout minis and started on a few models to finish off some keywords in Bayou for Malifaux. Alphonse LeBlanc is done and with him Wizz-Bang, just need to finish off the LaCroix Raiders

Painting horror characters from Studio Miniatures as a gift to my wife (an avid horror fan) and working on hills,

Today, I've bought the new GK codex and the corresponding cards, and the newest WD of course.

Tonight will be spent assembling the new Kill Team box.

Had a session of my Rogue Trader campaign, where finally the PCs managed to finish a huge battle we've been getting through for numerous sessions. After that, I began finally assembling my Guardian Defenders, going for some fun poses with the ones crewing the weapons platforms. I also started making my Wraithlord the one in my bitz draw. I have no clue how I got my hands on it. It's pretty cool 'cause I have two Wraithlords now, having got another from the Start Collecting Box. My Eldar force is going to be pretty big sooner or later, indeed!

Sooo many bitz in the new Kill Team box...

Built the Orks last night, some of the Krieg this evening, & tomorrow evening will finish them. Then base coat sometime this week.
The terrain? While cool, it isn't a super high priority since we've got plenty already.

Finished a goblin shaman conversion. His ''scary 'and'' comes form the Northmen Folks Rabble kit, and his ''ooman skull'' is from the Oathmark skellies.

More assembly of my Guardian Defenders and Wraithlord. Also began pinning the Wraithlord's shoulder mounts and one of the weapons platforms. It was a nice day, so I should've primed some of my models, but I didn't, oh well.

Finished off my Bayou bits and pieces, prepped the next batch of minis to start (6 Easterling Dragon Cult Acolytes and a Blood Bowl Rat Ogre)

Love that army of classic models! Very cool project!

Edit:
On my end, working on some of my Thousand Sons stuff, I glued the missiles on the terminator now that they are worth it. I green stuffed the Spawns that needed it in preparation to paint them soon hopefully. Also fiddling with my Converted Daemon Prince, going back and forth about giving him a sword or not (gameplay-wise I want it, model wise it's a bit more complicated xD).

Got my assembledish Eldar minis a-ready for a sprayin' with my Chaos Black primer and the bases with Wraithbone. But ran out of black about half the way through which was going to happen soon, but can't go into town and buy more due to us in NZ being in lockdown. All this while listening to DARK ADVENTURE RADIO THEATRE! By The HP Lovecraft Historical Society. They've done a couple based on Call of Cthulhu RPG campaigns. The best being the Brotherhood of the Beast which was based off The Fungi of Yuggoth campaign.

Tonight I painted up* my 2nd mini of 2021 - a D&D harpy.
I might add a few more details prior to game night.
As she's become an important npc & is often involved in encounters, a mini was needed. A Harpy was the closest I could come to a Pathfinder Strixt.

*as in fully painted, not just a quick base-coat.

Quite a lot more work on my Howling Banshees and a little bit on my Way Cry Shadow Warriors. And speaking of Shadow Warriors I'm going to convert an Autarch with Swooping Hawk wings, fusion pistol and power sword using the spare bare male head from the Shadow Warriors box, setting that up and it might work quite well.

Sorta off-topic, but I also decided the date I'm going to self-publish my novel The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside on Amazon. The 1st of November, so yeah, happy about that!

Finished my Dragon Cult Acolytes except for bases, and did a bit of work on the Blood Bowl Rat Ogre which I've now set aside to paint marines for Kill Team instead

Tonight is my Kill Team Orks turn to get assembled.
