Well, now time to finish up my Standard Bearer for my Exemplar Errants UA.
Then to finish up 75 other various miniatures before I can buy more as I promised myself. Welp...

Completed a lascannon Black Templar. Working on 2 Plasma Cannon Black Templars, then switching back to my Chaos army for a while.

I painted 8 whole models yesterday!

At the speed I paint; I think thats a new record...


Kind of a pity they're only 15mm really! Still, some more dismounted men at arms for my Hundred Years War force... I really need to get a thread up on Dakka sometime...

Helped my girlfriend paint her first miniature. It took 8+ hours including all of our "distractions"

For me, waiting for my models to come in and see if I like the paint scheme to start painting again.

I'm building a gaming board!

I primed 8 Termagants and played a 110 point game with my wife. A good evening overall!

Repairing my 15mm Pakistani C-17 Transport plane, since my Pakistani friend knocked it on the floor He feels ever so guilty.

Just bought DE Wyches, (The other) DE Black Ark Corsairs, and some Empire State Troops in a 50% off sale, despite owning none of those arrmies... I wonder where this is going...

*cough*codex inquisition*cough*

I should also be finishing my first scratchbuilt Chimera as soon as I can work out a way of doing the turret. Plasticard is basically the best invention since the bread slicer.

Finally finishing up 3 hydra turrets and fixing a SM shotgun to go on my one of my IG.

I'm gonna paint up a few reenforcements for my Orlock gang.

Painting a mountain of terrain. Some buyer's remorse on good deals with the Imperial Sector and Wall of Martyrs.. going to take a while.

Finishing my 5th SS Panzer Grenedeir Panzer Company for Rapid Fire today.

*throws arms up*

Idk! I think Dwarves. I have a Warriors of Chaos army somehwere, but it's missing lots of pieces and isn't even using the previous army book, when I bought it the guy gave me the Storm of Chaos, Beasts of Chaos, and Hordes of Chaos? books. But my buddy is bringing his Dark Elf and Dwarf armies.

Do you have any advice?

Two Ulthwe Guardians to paint this evening I think (for a friend's commission). Maybe try and do another two tomorrow.

Attempt to start painting the FW SW Venerable Dread. I think he's gonna take a while

Compiling stuff to flog at a flea market tomorrow, so I can get new goodies. I own so much stuff I'll never use so I may as well.

Fantasy is a lot more balanced than 40k. So just pick which army you like and have fun. Thats my advice. Thet being said, DE have a newer book though... so you should probably pick them

Back OT, I will be putting the finishing touches on my WHFB Giant this evening, then working on my Goblin Spear Chukka. Saturday there will be no hobbying, so I have to make tonight count!

Well, my buddy is still using the old book because he hasn't played fantasy in a few years. The only reason why it's on the docket for tonight is because we haven't settled on a game system to replace Malifaux, so every week has been a different game.

It's mostly a clearout of gaming stuff I don't really need; board games (Red November, Dwarf Kings Hold, Hero Quest), minis (Reaper, CMoN, Raging Heroes, GW) and some scenery and bits and pieces. Stuff I've ignored so long I can't even remember what I've packed, other than there's about 150 line items and a total asking price of about £500. So hopefully I'll get a stack of new stuff and some pocket money back

Attempted to paint 5 guardsmen in Cadpat but they ended up looking like Modern German Flecktarn.

I know what I did wrong so I can fix it for the next 100 guardsmen

I don't think I'm going to touch fantasy anymore. I ended up with 2000 points of dark elves with 2 other players on my the for a 6k game versus 6k of dwarves we were decimated by cannons and grudge throwers, and my magic is fething useless. I'm not sure what you mean about balanced, but I'm not seeing it. This game is fething infuriating.

Painting more Dropzone Commander Scourge to annoy Alf.

I got a game in last night, first one in a long time. It was great. Battle report is here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/562293.page

Agonizing over which Mars Attacks kickstarter extras to pick up before it ends tomorrow. Not advertising here, but it *is* kind of awesome

Then, I've got to rapidly cobble together a temporary deadzone board so my buddy and I can try it out tomorrow Oh, and I've gotta print out the cards too, and sort of learn the rules Busy night =/

Then obviously tomorrow will involve much deadzoning, I expect quick games even with our total n00bery so hopefully we get quite a few in for more accurate measure of balance and awesomeness!

If I get any time amongst all that (a break perhaps) I intend to clean and start painting up my newly obtained Knight ForScale (err umm Garrik the Bold, or something... but c'mon, it's his job to scale up all the other bones, it works!).

Today I got pestered with pictures of my buddy painting his wraithknights, so I got semi motivated.

I pulled out all my BT vehicles, and started working on them. So far I have finished the interiors on two of them, glued one together, and working on the fourth (razorbacks). Should get weapons done at some point today too. Then I have to work on the predator weapons and build one rhino chassis.

I hate building Rhinos. Those kits suck.

Painted yet more German Grenadiers.. rapidly losing patience, hope I can keep the motivation up as I'm approaching about 40% army completion!

@GrimDork - Would be interested to see what those clear bases turn out like when you have done them!

Sheer force of will certainly helps with those things!
