Wrote up my roster for our upcoming Crusade League and actually read all the crunchy faction specific rules stuff & strats for the force I'm building (Drukari).

No Black Crusade game today ( ), but I did tidy up the bombsite that was my living room, covered from one side to the other with 50L plastic tubs filled with sprues.

Now it's more organised, I know exactly how much unbuilt Zone Mechanicus/Zone Mortalis terrain I have (Answer: Too much! ) and I have taken out the sprues for things that can only be built one way (9th Ed starter terrain pipes and fuel tanks + 2 Void Shield Generators) that I can build to avoid having to keep all the sprues around.

Tomorrow I'll be starting to organise both waves of the BattleTech Kickstarter and get the 'Mechs into foam with my other 'Mechs. That's going to take some time.

Primed my new Harlequins and re-primed my Guardians as well as a few other bits and pieces. Now back writing Secret War: The Annihilation Plague for NaNoWriMo.

Rescued some stones from Rockgut trolls spare maces to be used as part of future terrain pieces.

Yesterday I got to play battletech alpha strike and warcry. Today I primed a platoon of zombiesmith quar crusaders.

Just played another game of Assassinorum: Execution Force with my friend and it was the most disastrous game I've played so far, lost Attelus/the Callidus Assassin on the 1st board and we didn't take even one wound off the main bad guy, before the count down expired. Was still fun as frig though, say a lot about a game when you frig up so bad it's still fun lol

Painted the fleshy & hard to reach bits of another Talos.

Almost completed another Harlequin. I really enjoy painting them almost as much as I enjoy assembling them. It's a challenge to make them all unique using the same colour palette.

Edge highlighting blood drinkers, doing bases for models that need those on friday, assembling fw dread weapons.

Worked on some really old Confrontation and Necromunda models.

Cheers,

CB

Painted the fleshy & hard to reach bits of Talos #3.

This evening I'll get the rest of each Talos assembled & painted.
My goal is to have all 3 ready in time for the start of our Crusade this Wed. Though in reality I won't need them until Sat.

The hardest parts been finding a skin tone I liked.

Worked on some really old Confrontation and Necromunda models. Made one with a musket conversion and working on doing another with the same weapon.

Cheers,

CB

Started edge highlighting red for more marines and assembled another dread weapon.

So many edges!

It turns out you can play a wargame on a wall rather than a tabletop if you use cardboard tokens and some poster tac. Giving that a try now in a skirmish between some Sisters of Battle and Tyranids.

It’s a much slower process to move each individual token, but it seems to work well as an alternative when table space is unavailable.

If one could get large metal sheet to the wall you could even play with real models magnetized

Built 5 more of these:

My my. High risk, high reward.

That would be pretty cool though. Where do people find these magnets anyway? They might certainly make Tyranid repairs MUCH less of a headache.

Finished a couple of really old metal Confrontation figures and an old metal Scaly.

Supermagnete is one store. Ebay has tons of sellers.

Great for transporting btw.

Today edge highlighting blood drinkers continue. 56 or so marines sooo many edges to do.

I've been painting 6th edition Shadow Warriors, 4 done and 2 to go! Love the models, the cloaks have so much definition.

Continuing to paint quar from zombiesmith.

Woops never mind, misunderstanding lol

Edit: Just practically finished another Harlequin with an embrace, just gotta base him and the last one. Planning on painting my Custodes when they're finished.

Finally finished a bunch of terrain!

A mix of different stuff, First off GW terrain bits I bought in a cheap lot on Ebay a few years ago. Not the full set, but enough for some decent scatter



These I bought off a 3d printer on Etsy. Good stuff and worth the price!



Lastly my own creation made from Christmas trees I bought at a dollar store 2 years ago. Cleaned they terrible snow off them and re-flocked them on an MDF base I bought from a local seller. The coverage is not the best, but the price per tree makes it worth it.



I have a bunch more trees I need to get cleaned and flocked before I can call my skirmish game table completely done. But im making progress! I finally have a board I can play Rangers of Shadowdeep/Frostgrave on.

Weapon's black part highlightrng for blood drinkers, maw krusha scales and game of 40k today's schedule

Some board gaming this afternoon/evening, then later finishing up building several Talos.
I'll take the Talos with me in case we pick games with a long delays between my turns.

Been painting some more Elves, hopefully pictures to come soon!

terrain painting and boyz painting a never battle ;o)
Mabey ill finish building the new kammando
s

Game day turned to paint day so started work on bloodletter bases, mawkrusha and assembled drop pod. What a nightmare

Working on another Scaly and another old Confrontation ganger.

Cheers,

Another session of Black Crusade.

We defeated the first wave of incoming attackers only for a Nurgle Sorcerer to sacrifice himself, summoning a Great Unclean One into the massive arena.

It attempted to toughen it's already legendary durability, only to swap minds with one of the remaining enemy Plague Marines. So now we have a very tough Plague Marine with the mind of a GUO, and a very confused Plague Marine with the body of a GUO!
