I'm reading the fun Combat Patrol rules for Imperial Knights!

The Armigers have the exact same statline as regular games.

And we only have 1 way to get victory points. Every turn, we select an objective, and our opponent selects one. +5 vp if you claim your own. +10 if you claim the one your opponent selected.

3d modeling some units to add to my growing Imperial Guard Epic army.

Sorry DarkBlack, I missed your reply, I didn't intend to ignore you. I am very tempted to use some of the Trench Crusade miniatures in a Human Defence Force. If not in Grimdark Future then certainly in GF Firefight.

As for today, I painted my first Orks since the launch of 40K. Two test paints before I get stuck into assembly. Pic below:

(40k) The Chaos Cultists (with firearms) in my CK Iconoclast Fiefdom have really been putting in work - not just serving as buff snacks for the Knights, but holding objectives, doing secondaries, accomplishing agendas, and killing things in the local shops Escalation & Crusade leagues.
All 3 squads have earned paint.
They are an assortment of 3rd hand, poorly & partially painted, Tallarns I picked up ages ago.

So tonight?
*All their bases have now been standardized to a Corax base coat with different colored rims to denote squads - just as I do with most squads in my other forces. (finished tops to come later)
*all non-painted weapons are now black + dry brushed silver
*assorted details in each squad have been picked out
it'll be a long time before any of the squads are truly finished though.

I painted some more details on my Bladeguard Veteran Squad, hoping to have them finished and based tomorrow, and then time to buy another batch of models to work on!

This took me way longer to finally paint than I thought, and I don't just mean that this unit has been primed and sitting in a box since 2008. This unit is one of my first conversions ever so behold!




My Inner Circle Arc Knights of Averland. The bodyguard of House Leitdorf. Now I haven't glued the knights to the horses yet because...well...as anyone who has had to put together Empire Knights knows their legs are splayed out and their feet get in each others way. So they are held down by Sticky tack. and will probably stay that way.

One thing I will say about the Old World. The increased base sizes make ranking these guys up MUCH easier!

I finished my Old One Eye a few days ago, and started another project already!

Got my converted Hive Guards and Tyrant Guards out and they are next in line!

The Tyrant Guard already had 4 models painted (previous edition unit size), so I need to paint the 2 other to finish up the full unit.

The Hive Guards had 1 model painted way back in 8th edition when I tested the concept and also my colour scheme! Over time I managed to get the needed parts and build the unit, but never painted the rest.

We played a game of Kill Team 2018 (1st edition?) last evening

Asuryani - Striking Scorpions Exarch with Scorpion's Claw & 6 Striking Scorpions (Me)
vs
Space Marines - 5 Reivers

Scenario Feint
Result: End of turn 5, SM win due to tiebreaker of being defender.

We each had 2 models remaining.
My Combat Specialist and a mook, each with Flesh Wounds
He had his Veteran Specialist and a mook with one wound remaining.

We were tied up in melee almost from turn 1.
I failed to remember to disengage and take objectives.


Primed my Striking Scorpions after getting home from the LFGS.

Finished the Liche Priest for my Tomb Kings. Not sure what Wizard he was before, but he's one of the plastic Warhamme Quest/Talisman wizards

I'm trying to find a tactical rock for an Armiger. I need the rock to look like it's by the seashore.

Anyone know I'd there are any 40k scale seagulls online?

Will be re-pinning the wrist of Gwenom [MCP] that I broke when painting her last night.

More work on the wings of Archangel [MCP]

Also some Praetorian IG for 40k - finish painting.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also have to sort out the models for next months painting goals.

Working on more little detail bits for my (40k) Chaos Cultists - grenades, webbing etc.
It's a slow process. 30 figures, doing 3-4 each evening....

Bringing these babies home from work now that they're 99% done

Assembling a set of GWs shipping containers (second batch).

Cheers,

CB

Painted the first 3 Hive Guards. Working on the other 3. Should be done this week hopefully!

Finishing Archangel [MCP] ready for varnishing.

Try and get some more work on my Praetorian IG melta gunners if time

Relatively hobby heavy days. Sunday I introduced my girlfriend to wargaming with OPR, yesterday I finished touching up 10 us soldiers, and today I'll be undercoating a us anti-tank gun. Due to start painting on the next day then. Or on Tuesday.

Shopping for bases for Kommando Orks.

This would be easier if there weren't 10×32mm and 2×25mm bases to hunt for.

This Kommando unit might be fighting on industrial bases.

Procrastinating doing usefull RL & building an AoS Glotkin instead.

Finished my Hive Guards, so that was quite a blitz of minis recently!

Here the recent Nids I managed to do since mid February!

Sorry I can't seem to be able to put the pictures under spoiler

Just got a copy of Star Trek Adventures: 2nd Edition.

I'm going to sit down and read the out of this book.

Finished all the stripping and gluing for my custom figure of the Ultraverse character Hardcase in his Godwheel costume. Now on to figuring out what to do for the shoulder pads and the belt buckle, and go through the arduous process of finding a gold paint that will go on well...

Painted these containers, with crates and barrels.

Cheers,

CB

1) Building some Nurgle Demon stuff.

Imperial guard auto cannon heavy weapon teams, and packing for painting at FLGS tomorrow night.

Testing out GW's return policy.

It's amazing what I thought I ordered and what actually showed up.

I've gotta know now. Please tell, dude.

All current character models are done as well as my Scorpions, Tomb Swarms, and Catapult.

I've started working on my first 5-man Scarab Occult Termis, and oof did I not miss the trims on TS It's quite painful after so many rapid-fire (and easy) Tyranids!

But while in the middle of it, I decided I need to build my last (6th) Custodes Venatari for an upcomming game. Was using them as 5-man unit in previous edition, but now it's 3 or 6. And I used the leftover legs for a conversion (Blade Champion) a while ago, so creativity will be needed here! Got a temporary 3D printed part for the legs, but boy oh boy do they looks like crap! Very very few design available (2 that I could find searching everywhere), and none look even half-decent (or usable really, its that dire)! Gonna have to resort to the good old "I'm gonna sculpt them myself with greenstuff". But for the game, the aweful 3D printed will have to do (gonna blu-tack them on or something so I can take them off).
