Using the Forgefiend leftovers to create a modified and more dynamic posed Forgefiend model

Getting the Drop Pods, and illegal BA Storm Talon out tomorrow before I go to work, put a few licks on them. A few bits on the 2nd plastic Drop Pod... Just fiddly stufff.

Played my first game of WHFB in over two months now.

I am happy with my choice to move to Dystopian Wars as my main game.

We have been playing quite a bit of Dystopian Wars in my gaming group lately. I like the back and forth turn sequence quite a bit. My only gripe is that games seem to take forever to play.

You can say that again.
Three weeks down and we are still only at the top of turn 4 of our 4,600 game

finished painting and basing my deadzone rebs earlier today.
now i'm going to bed

Just packed Deadzone and 40k for gaming tonight.

Continuing with my looted Falcon for Rebel Grots.

I'm going to see if I can finish painting up the following:

4 5-man tac squads (just need weapons and iconography mostly)
1 10-man assault squad (same as above)
2 Company Masters (same as above)
1 Interrogator-Chaplain Seraphicus (same as above)
2 Dreadnoughts (same as above)
2 Drop Pods (same as above)
6 Rhino Chassis

"Should" be no problem with a whole day to do it... but I get antsy in the pantsy and some times bugger off to do other things like fool around with Torchlight II, SWTOR, or WoW.

Getting ready to meet up with my gaming group for an all day 40k session. Built my 1st heldrake last night for the occasion.

That is a lot more than I could do in a day.

I just scrubbed the parts for my resin Tau Commander and Bragg (the Ogre) to get mold release off. Assembly when they dry!

Testing out a new glue. Testors I think it was called.

Im finaly getting started with my first 40k army, tyranids. Right now im assembling the last 3 warriors, after that im gonna spray them black. Got around 25 tyranids atm and all of em needs painting.. so today its just dirtywork aka basepainting with 3 colors to get them ready for games, then id improve them with details when Im more used to painting. Still dont know what theme to paint the bases eighter. Soon NFL semifinals too so gonna be distracted.. todays working speed wont be high Ah well better than nothing.

Possibly getting a base coat and primary coat on my primed dindrenzi ships but that requires sitting in the freezing garage to use the airbrush and I really don't feel like doing that right now... I may just wash, file, and assemble my last ships. I can do that in the warmth (minus the washing in the garage sink but that doesn't take as long as setup and teardown and cleanup for the airbrush...)

I put a few more coats on my Carnifex brood, and finished basing on two of them. Did basing on one Tyrant too, and glued a leg on a Pyrovore.

Last night I built the entire contents of a Rebels pack from Deadzone, as well as a full second company of Marauders (except the two ripper suits). Today I'm painting Elemental Rooks and Earth Queens from LOKA-building up the Forces of Nature army for KoW. The Pegasus models (plural) are already done, as are the three Water/Ice Elementals, 2 Air Elementals and a single Earth Elemental. The queens are being used as Shamblers.

Just partially put together a Wraithguard with D-sythe then I pined them and sprays them so I can paint the parts individually. Going to try and finish it today but we will see how it goes
Trying to decide if I should get a riptide or not....or maybe a stormtalon.

I've just finished assembling a Haruspex.

I know the stats are not awesome, but the model is. Very nice kit.

Over the weekend I assembled

16 Saurus
24 Skinks
10 Temple Guard
3 Ripperdactyls and
1 Skink Priest.

I'm still pretty woozy from the plastic cement fumes.

I should put some paint on my grots today. It's a bit silly that I spent days painting my SAG Big Mek, but field him with 10 unpainted grots and a Runtherd.

Made a twin linked autocannon out of plastic parts I found in the recycle bin, need to find a proper sized ammo box or drum and its complete.

Put 2 more Deadzone guys together, made new strike team lists for next DZ game night.

debating priming the next batch of deadzone models

Painted an assault marine. Gonna try and get three dakini tacbots done later.

I need to build my last ten cultists tonight, and then get them painted by the weekend. I should be able to do that...

5x Death Guard Terminators - Painting complete. Needs basing.
10x Plague Marines - Painting complete. Needs basing.
Forgeworld Nurgle Sorceror - Painting 65% complete.
15x Cultists - Paint scheme acquired. Commence base coating.

My rival had better get his $20 ready.

Playing a 2 on 1 game.

Dark Angels and Nurgle CSM at 1000 pts each, vs 1500 pts of my Orks.

Should be Interesting


Also finishing my current Stompa paintjob.

I've nabbed a few moments free of my tiny oppressor, so I'm gonna see if this ancient heavy duty window fan will suffice as a vacuum for my airbrush or not. Pending the success of such, I'll either get few sedition wars minis primed, or all of those and my first regiment of skeletons.

About halfway done with my "Forgeworld" R'varna.

Tonight I decided to work on Deadzone.

Cut out all the terrain and put it in a bag, and started working on 1 model.

I hate restic. I find myself lacking motivation to clean it properly

Attended a class on laser engraving. Came out of the class with a new paint mug with the PRDF logo on one side, and a new appreciation for Inkscape.
