Sadly no, but it was pretty damn fun playing on a 9x4 table and having parts of it still look like a parking lot.

So today i based about 1000 points of dark angels. Nothing super fancy, just a mixture of various grits.

Last night i primed said 1k points, so overall, pretty pleased with myself. Now i just need to wait for the next 750 point block to arrive.

2 days ago i base coated a unit of firewarriors. Been a productive hobby week!

Dakka is the ork word for shooting, but the ork concept of shooting is saturation fire. Just as there is no such thing as a "miss" in a target-rich environment, there is no such thing as a "dodge" in a bullet rich one

Yep, they're the tiny, tiny monkeys---smaller than goblins if you can believe it.
Just got finished gluing them to bases so they're done.

There are mold lines on the helmets and on the legs of a couple sculpts that are annoying.
Those were fixable but I frankly said heckwithit since they're so darn tiny.
Casting is pretty decent (I own a majority of the DB teams) overall.

The dinos are also pretty decent. Some mold lines but fairly reasonable to clean up.
My two least favorite teams for mold clean up have been the women (Void Sirens) and the rats.
One of the female sculpts has a mold line straight down the open face (flesh not a hockey mask) of the model.
The rats are...Let's just say I just went ahead and painted them rather than chuck them in the bin.

highlighting two members of a vanguard squad, and finished painting a really excessively beat up ultramarine, because I decided I would see how many different types of weathering I could squeeze onto a 28mm Infantry model. Also did a few minor conversions.
