Hopefully I'm going to keep on painting WoW board game miniatures.

Started the Gnome Mage yesterday, and am I in love. Never, ever, EVER before have I used so much Moot Green! The guy looks like he's glowing!

I am resisting the temptation to paint his hair and beard pink. But it's so hard

Haha, I'll definitely have to check that out in your blog.

I'll be putting down however many or few layers onto my next 5 zombie Marines as is possible. Hoping to push through them this weekend but I'm not going to stress over it.

Also I may do some bases to have ready. And as usual I'll probably scheme about armies I don't have time to work on while at work

Just finished painting a pair of bikes I want to include in a list. Next is to clean off the gaming table and prep for a game. A friend is coming over tomorrow with 1,850 points of nids, and I need to make sure I have a clear battlefield and an army to meet him.

Next on the paint list is a HF sternguard, but I doubt he'll be done in time for the battle.

Finally, my procrastinating ass has managed to finish painting my Spawning Vessel crew, now I just need to dull coat them.

Anyway, today I'm picking up my second unit of Warspears + UA for my pThags tier list and a couple of extra Harriers in preparation for the Beast Mistress coming out.

Oh, and I better start advancing the painting on my Ravagore and Angelius!

I made these last night.

nkelsch, that's cool, what are they?

Chibi maggots for RPG dungeons... I been practicing sculpting and casting simple models for tabletop RPG games.

Today I will start researching prices (second hand) for CSM Rhino NOS and Bloodletters NOS, as well as paint supplies (vallejo) for a DA army (after doing a pallet and cross from GW Citadel paints). Next I'm going to flesh out a 500 and 700-750 point DA list limiting armor to troop transports and no fast attack vehicles. (My play group is just starting out and we are still figuring out what army's to play).

Finally, I'm going to try out Army Painter white primer on an airplane model spru because i'm having a terrible time getting Flat and Gloss white to cover properly on my models (it's so transparent that gray primer shows right through). I don't want my white details to look like poo.

Army Painter White Primer is fantastic, that and P3 White or Black are my go to cans.

Clearly a Caterpie its okay pokemon are still cool!

Edit: Last night I picked up commander farsight, 16x gun drones, and 2 sniper drone sets.... painting has been halted - back to building for the next evening or 2.

I popped a Spartan Games Prussian Gertwhachmacallit Zepp, two Pfitch Zeps, and two FSA Lee Class Zeps out of their packaging and put them on their bases.

Then, set-up my table for an Aeronautica Imperialis game with my gaming buddy this weekend.

Excellent, I look forward to solid results!

Try and put together all my KOW orcs. And finish a dire avenger unti that ive put off for to long. Even though i have a gang of eldar i have yet to put them all together and play them. I took my time with them since i wanted them to come out nice. And totaly forgot about them and moved on.

putting together some of my mantic kickstarter stuff
currently building paladin cavalry

Rebuilding...

Don't put your models on the subwoofer, kids

Another busy evening... I figured building two pewter Hive Tyrants wasn't hard enough last time, so I built two more. And magnetized them.

This proved challenging.

The metal sword and lash whip were very difficult to magnetize while ensuring security, so they were installed wih the aid of 10 magnets. This tyrant actually has a really decent pose while maintaining the magnetized versatility, which I am happy about. I will buy plastic for the other one, it was just a lot of labour dealing with the metal.

Anyhow, they are magnetized and assembled, yay, but what else needs doing? Oh, the carnifexes. I magnetized three carnifexes, too - arms and heads. I will do the tails as well, once I find a good source on bits, but for now they're looking good.

A good way to burn a few hours that shoud have been spent doing schoolwork. It was great.

Painting on my Stormtalon, I hope...

In a few hours the local tyranid swarm is going to swing by and drop a bunch of bugs on the battlefield I spent yesterday cleaning off. Emperor willing, I will fend them off.

Here's the list I built to do it.
http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/553126.page

I need to finish up getting my 2nd squad of bikers cleaned and ready. The bikes are done, just need the marines and a good day to prime.

I might make a start on painting my chaos sorceror for 40k.

While waiting for my hi tech miniatures terrorizers to turn up for counts as obliterators.

I did another base coat layer on my tactical squad and finally stuck the arms on a squad of Kabalite Warriors. Fiddly little things they are.

Waiting on a dry(ish) day to prime 15 'stealers and a pair of razorbacks. Shall continue turning my SM bikes into hoverbikes meanwhile (the normal bike looks too clunky for me). Possibly build a pair of landspeeders if the rain holds out another day.

Thinking of a unit filler for my block of Executioners that isn't my cauldron of blood I only want one.

Going to a two day tourney this weekend so I'm painting like a madman before work today to try and get everything done. Doing some detail work on my Nurgle bikers and my converted heldrake.

Still painting Plague drones.

One down. 8 to go...

An alter with someone about to get executed on it.

Put together 5 KoW Paladins, 5 Mounted Paladins, 5 Men At Arms, and 5 crossbow Men At Arms. Think I'm calling it a night, I'll do another grouping tomorrow.

Got a little painting done last night, and looked through the cards for the B-Wing and HWK-290 I picked up yesterday. Also continued clearing stuff off the small table - need to bag some 6mm Romans and check through some bases, and I think I'll be done.

Got a bike painted up, and took photos of a bunch of my Tyranid stuff and Marines!

I put the photos in my gallery, so if you want to see what I have been up to... check it out. You will also get to meet Lyle and Benny, two Space Wolf troublemakers.

Just finished painting up a Rogue Trader Era BA captain over my lunchbreak at the office. Fun model! Pic in my Gallery...

Started to plan what sort of order I will paint the enourmus amount of Bretonnians that is heading my way. Beside that I am currently finishing up the last of my SW Thunder wolves. When that is done I intend to sit down with the new SM codex and start reading
