I've been organising my Dropzone Commander armies for the 2500 point game I'm having on Friday night.

First up, is the Scourge (yay! Whoo, go Scourge!). I'm not gonna lie, there may have been a bit of a maniacal laughter after seeing this pic.

Against the defenders of mankind, the heroic UCM (boo, hiss, boo).

Here's a better shot of the armies.

In a game this size, the armies are split into 2 battlegroups. - THis is how I've tried splitting them out.

Got some materials prepped for a Greater Daemon/DP DIY project.

I pretty much left a heap chicken bones to stew in a Tupperware full of bleach for a couple of weeks, and this evening I cleaned and scrubbed everything that was salvageable down.

Glamorous work.

I'm painting my Eldar Guardians. They're my first batch of Eldar and it took me a while to figure out what paint scheme I wanted to use. It doesn't help that the new books are absolute garbage for showcasing different schemes and such. Never mind the complete lack of tutorials...

But I'm managing

**greenskin lynn**

taking a break from painting warmahorde stuff, so i'm painting blood angel assault marines for my long-term slow grow ba project

**GrimDork**

That sounds nice, a project you just knock out a few models for at a time. My tastes seem too change too rapidly for me to do that, I dunno if any of my original wargaming stuff has held up to my changing interests

**MWHistorian**

Helping my wife assemble her Circle Blood Trackers. I wish I had looked at their stats first. They're brutal.

yea, it goes slow more because i get sick of painting red if i do it to often (and the bulk of the army is stuff i've gotten second hand and stripped/refurbished).

also, base red has been applied, once it dries i can move on to the several layers of ink i use to get the right, consistant red i try for with the army

**Crankpin**

My GW order arrived this afternoon so I've spent the day assembling, cleaning and pinning.

3 Chimerae, 10 Hellstriders, 1 Lord of Slaanesh on Daemonic Mount

And for some reason, a frickin' badge with the MARK OF KHORNE on it!

I suspect Cegorach is at work here...

**larva_uk**

Found my old Ogre Kingdoms stuff so thought I'd work out how to rebase as a KoW ogre army. Couple of hundred points short of 1500 which could easily be filled with a war mammoth but I haven't got one and can't find one in a usable size.

So, one quick trip to toys 'r us later and... War Hippo!

Fear the war hippo.

Probably would be legitimately more scary than an elephant/mammoth in real life

**Lord Corellia**

**Ensis Ferrae**

It's a little* known fact that Hippos kill more people per year than pretty much any other animal on the African Continent.

*by little, I mean common knowledge to anyone who's spent 5 minutes on the internet, or any social media where animals are being discussed

**pancakeonions**

Putting together and painting the goblins I got on the cheap from Battle for Skull Pass (they ain't bad, if a little limited in poses) and a big ol goblin on a giant spider (super cool model!)

**Shadow Captain Edithae**

Trying to get a D&D campaign going, which I'll be hosting as the Dungeon Master...

Spoiler:

Met one of the players today and went through character creation with him...

We came up with an "agnostic" Charlatan anti-social bastard hill dwarf Cleric.

(thats the good sort of facepalm btw, in a "this is so fething stupid its genius!" way

).

Spoiler:

**GrimDork**

I thought that was Agnostic? Acknowledge without worship/respect/supreme-being whatever. But Theology is faaaar from my best subject

Sounds amusing.

He had better watch out, paying lip service to deities in D&D usually leads to...consequences... though depending on the god he may be serving their purposes just fine without even realizing it, the double crosser has been double crossed!

Gonna take a jaunt to Hobby Lobby to look for inspiration, though I've got plenty to do.

**WillyBRags**

cutting up 1 and 2 mm thick plastic card into various size squares and rectangles to make into sand stone flagstone for a desert temple themes tau army....it kinda sucks lol....my projects end up hurting me in the end...I get the burnout

Yeah, probably. Amended the post.

He's such a good Con-man that's even got his God convinced he's a genuine worshiper.

18 Charisma - proficient in Deception, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand and...Medicine. I guess he payed attention in Medical class.

He is a faith leach, bad things happen to those when they die

You can get the stats for a lot of the gods in D&D I wonder if he could get away with it if the god them self look into it.
It is always fun to have characters like that

**GrimDork**

While this is forgotten realms specific, the gods have been down on the surface at least one time too, and don't forget avatars and greater servants. He'll probably get away on it but realize that 18 charisma is going to only go so far in relation to such a powerful entity. Sounds fun enough, bad things happening to those characters is funny anyway

**wuestenfux**

Priming 10 Bane Knights and pSkarre.
This gives me a solid pSkarre list with 2x10 Bane Knights. Ouch!

**Divadwm**

Attempting (yet again) to work on painting IG Heavy Weapons teams. Time permitting, working on some Dwarf Ironbreakers too.

**Brennonjw**

Mass Priming of a legion scale (not counting what I've already primed): 4 Centurions (Chaplain, Champion, Mortait, Terminator Medicae), a command squad, 20 tactical marines, 5 terminators, 10 breachers, a land raider, a vindicator, a drop pod, and a partridge in a pear tree (DE Archon + Gortun Grundback)

on top of that I'd like to finish my last for Horgenhold Forge Guard, and finally get started on my display for my legion

**leopard**

Finishing of my Nids.

Was possibly up for a game tomorrow, looks lke it won't happen now but regardless have managed two things, firstly actually having all my Nids painted.. secondly discovering my codex is probably not the most recent one.

such is life. Does the most recent Nid book have formations in it? (if it does, I've got the one before... and have never used used it)

**GrimDork**

Bugs look good, can't help you out on the codex... I think I'm two or three editions back myself.

I got my combined Dreadball Xtreme and Kings of War order in today. Gonna riffle(apparently, this is the correct verb, as to rifle would be a frantic search..the things you learn..) through that a bit later and make some nice piles to verify that I got everything. It already looks like I got some bonus stuff I didn't order so that's cool

**KillMaimBurn96**

Just painting and adding Melta's to my 30 Death Guard

**wuestenfux**

Assembling 5 Marauder Horsemen (on round bases, 40mm) for my Warriors of Chaos army.

**Flashman**

First night at Southampton Sluggaz - managed to get a couple of X-Wing games in... Lost both

**leopard**

Actually managed a game of 40k... to the amazement of the crew at the shop who appeared to have forgotten the game existed.

600pts (as thats all the Nids I have) v similar IG, well my carnifex "cuddles" survived, even if nothing else did, the smug swing is using a bit of Leman Russ as a tooth pick and the barrel as a back scratcher while the battered remains of the rest of them look on..

**GrimDork**

I was crafting some alien seed pods for a bit of terrain but then this one tried to assimilate m....

Nothing to see here, move along meatsacks...err fellow hobbyists.

**StarDrop**

Finishing my flyer foam trays. I got a 4" tray for Tau Sun/Tiger Shark.... And then realized that I can double them up, or use the foam inserts to make a fake bottom and another layer for my minis.

In this case, it will be DX-4 Remora drones. More updates on the way.
