Finally built up the courage to give my airbrush a real go, after about 2 months of being terrified of using it. So far I've only used it for a bit of xenothol white ink spraying and a bit of playing around/practicing, which almost always ends up with me clogging the thing up and spending ages cleaning it.

I'm pretty pleased with how it's come out and I got a lot better at the mechanical processes needed to not make so many clog mistakes, so generally happy with how it's gone. My Stardrake now has 5 tone purple wings that actually look pretty nice.

Still messed up a few times, clogging it twice by letting the air stop before the paint and also wasn't thinning the paint as much as needed at first, but I got over the first hurdle of stopping worrying about it and actively trying to learn. I am generally terrible at being bad at things and suffering through that in order to get good at things, so it's nice to have succeeded a bit

Finished some more #turnip28

Chaff


Bastards

Progress was achieved! Moritorium officials report that 2 squads of fully painted, and based IG depart the pile of shame for the boxes of "maybe when the new codex arrives"

Silly me I forgot to take some pics of such a wondrous moment. Sadly our informants confirmed that the pile of shame seems unfazed.

Building about $250 of Tyranid Warriors lmao

Most were second hand so it was more of $150~ for the Warriors but I have 15. Only building the Prime + 12 for now since the last two I might use as conversions if I need them to be Lictors/Anything else





lord_blackfang.... lovely basing on your Turnip lads. Ferns are killer

Painting up some old orcs, so that at last they may have paint on them.

Finished building some resin stuff on my end.

Got 3 more Pyrovores, a Lictor (how many is too many?) and Deathleaper for my Nids.

For my Eldar I got 6 Swooping Hawks, 6 Dire Avengers (had extra printed legs so all the Exarch bits could be used on top of the 5 regular) as well as a Wraithseer.

Should go and prime those soon to paint.

Basing for the last few 15mm Medieval Germans.

Then on to Early Imperial Romans.

I'm about to start assembling 2 Stormcast Dragons.
I hadn't expected to have to do this for another week or two, But the 1st game of our new Path to Glory went quite well & I found myself with enough Glory Points to add them to my roster right now.

I have, after a few years, finished off the last figures for my 15th century 15mm Medieval German army (Holy Roman Empire).

Oil washed my first Battlewagon.

Finished painting my Judicators! Now all that I have left for my Stormcast 1000pts are 3 Prosecutors.

I have them based and ready to go but I just want to finish off a few other models on my desk.

A productive day for me.

From the pile of shame, have dragged my two Ironclad Dreads (one built from box, remaining bits applied to the Black Reach easy-to-build "Black Reach" Dread); over black prime have blocked in the metallics, and the white base for the eventual orange armor panels.

Also extracted the 10 minis which will become my CC-oriented Vet Squad: one Fist, one Axe, one Plasmagun, 7 chainswords - had to ransack bits from sprues from multiple kits to accomplish the builds. [EDIT - So current Co. Vets are limited to 5 a squad, so will make two squads instead.]

Bought a card-game 930-count storage box, applied offcuts of packaging foam to create my new 4 Dread "stasis vault" where the two Ironclads will eventually join my two standard Dreads for slumber between wars.

Feeling good!

[@ Blackfang - love the Turnip 28 doods!]

working on a huge number of terrain tiles, and MDF buildings I have accumulated this past couple years.... and getting some new stuff set up to 3d print.

Built a variety of of things to use as Big Gunz for my Grots. Some scratch built, some not.
For Lobbas we have a few Nebelwurfers, several bases containing 3 IG mortars each, and several smart missile arms salvaged from some old Tau Broadside suits.
For Zap Gunz there's 3 complete scratch builds from bitz, 2 made from the old Broadsides rail guns, & one actual vintage Zap Gun.
For Kannons? I found a 3d print of an 105 mle 1913 Schneider field gun @ 1:56 scale that's going to work perfectly.

The goal is to eventually have 18 of each "type" of gun (so 3 squads of each).

Converted/magnetized a few bitz for my Hive Tyrant for the new dex. Got a new HVC with both arms on the same side, and got the whip magnetized to go with the sword I already had, so now he can have a the classic loadout, with the whole gun on his right side!

Now painting those new arms with the hope to use them this weekend!

Primed my Basse Core box and From Above sets for Malifaux.
Finished building my On The Hunt, by building the Vatagi Huntsmen.

Not sure where to go next.

Mostly prepping models but also managed to finish a few old school Rats.

I have a bunch more rats on the way as well! Warband should be complete soon. Just need some Stormvermin and a few more Slaves.

Rage painting Tyranid Warriors after work. I didnt airbrush them so they're coming out "messy" with blending skin and it's going to be a 15-20 hour process to paint them

Goal is to finish them end of week but I'm barely halfway

Working on bases for tiny skeleton men.

I'm done assembling 120 russian napoleonics, which I bought years ago, now they are in the process of being primed.



Edit : changed hosting site.

Painting five old metal Redemptionists for Necromunda.

Cheers,

I helped put up shelves for a friend. In his basement, not a store, though you would be forgiven thinking that given his number of unopened boxes.

Made some good progress on a Battlewagon. Got most of it assembled and primed. Still need to magnetize the deff rolla and assemble some shooty bits.

Finishing modelling 3 pretorian rough riders (mounted rifles) ready for priming. Sculpting 4x scions heads (with the little spikes) to be speesh Mamluk scions the last guy will have a beret and mask.

Nothing big - just changed arm and head on one mini.

Built 5 more close-combat Vets: 2 powerfists, 3 powerswords, all with plasma pistols.

Stalled on painting the Ironclads: all main colors are applied. I forgot what a chore painting checks can be - they are roughed in (black and white are the colors) at least.

Between this post and last I also painted an old Apothecary.

Finished painting five old metal Redemptionists for Necromunda. Now I need to find the weather to seal them and then photograph.

Cheers,

CB

Finished organising my gaming room.

Spent several days painting Nachmund Fronteris terrain. Almost done!

Painting some little and not so little minotaurs.

Primed some models.
