Cor, lookit that.

When you say 'dead tree material', do you mean the books or the model platforms?

Grab a cheap Reaper Bones Pegasus or griffon. Sounds like it would be the right size. Those are only like $4-5. And then you can cut up the rest of the body for spare parts if/when needed.

Point. Though I wonder how well the PVC would stick, and with Miniature Heroes down 'til mid March, I'm almost in the same situation.

The books, I had genuinely forgotten how awful they were.

5 scenarios, each one only having 3 characters or so for the good side. No points costs, despite the rulebook spending a long time talking about 'points match' games. It's just horrendous.

I remember back in the 'Fellowship of the Ring' days, each accompanying boxed set they released (EG Assault on Weathertop), had scenarios tied to it that were essentially mini games all on their own.

Got two units of Sentry Stones and Mannakins, not available for a longer time.
Each larger Circle army should have two of these.

Close to done with my Thunderbolt, just need to get some details done along with the cockpit and pilot. I'd post a WIP shot, but those are verboten.

Also wrapped up the erm, detailing of my Malcador, brushing Typhus corrosion into every nook and cranny to make it look less flat and a bit more broken in. I also decided to glue the tank commander in place. Next up.. the Infernus, which needs a whole lot of touching up done to it. :(

Building my Infinity Yu Jing Army.

Finished my three Deffkopptas.

There's a good set of summary sheets and a quickref page on the boardgamegeek page for Deadzone 2. I've been using that one.

Someone did quite a nice set of stat cards for the various factions.

There's an army builder here as well. Includes the errata'd units (get the FAQ - it's a Mantic game so there are a lot of annoying errors in the rulebook, mostly missed special rules on the unit entries).

Infinity Yu Jing Army coming along. Filled gaps with Green Stuff tonight on 9 miniatures. I love the Infinity models. Much better than any so far.

Well, finally working on my Awaken Realms terrain I kickstarted about a year or two ago. Pulling it back out of the box and seeing flash and some bubbles, but it's not all that bad.

Assembled (pinning every piece) the lower half of Dynamo.

Yes, including that loin cloth.

Tomorrow night I'll finish the upper half.

First 30 tac marines for sons of horus are nearing completion. Hoping to assemble them fully today(and last time I paint pieces in sprues). Then just need gold parts, blacken some armour and touch up where plastic visible from being cut from sprues.

10 terminators also approaching completion(barring bases and weathering).

Need to get HQ painted fast though to have legal army!

just primed a custom raider for my DE grots and all of my custom built wyches. Time to buy some more minitaire purple... I'm gonna need it.

Putting together Warhammer Quest baddies.

Sealed up the Orks and they are done.

Cheers,

Finished assembly on Dynamo.

Got tac marines ready for cleaning up paint job after cutting from sprues. Then just gold and black armours plus red plumes on heads. Working on those today plus start assembling sicarian that whose parts I washed yesteday.

Also plan to wash the autocannon and lascannon parts for heavy support squad and think could I magnetize these things. Problem is backback. Especially with lascannons power cable...

Also need to figure how to heat that cable to make it twist. Don't have hair drier so that's out.

I'm about to finish off the last bits on my Necron warriors, before starting on my Triarch Stalker.

After that, impaling a list of the paint/base material I need when I go to a FLGS for the first time in 15 years. Joined their facebook page and was immediately invited to a group active in WH40k in my area. Meeting them for the first time tomorrow, and they've all been really friendly so far, so I'm looking forward to it and getting back into it fully!

You're impaling a list?! Pray tell, what is it being impaled upon?? Your phone? The dog? Your hand? Your mum?? Inquiring minds want to know!!

Reorganized the Skirmish pack so that it will carry my Orks...well at least the figures. Vehicles will need a new way to get to the battlefield.

Opening baggies of Heroic & Ros colonial brits for Epic praetorians and wondering where the heck all those drummers and buglers are supposed to go.

I'm playing around with some basing ideas and materials. Going to see if I like the results for my up coming thousand sons army.

The Witch Elves, some of these are from 3rd ed where things were very different, these ones have armour and some even have crossbows.
They're so mismatched they can't really be anything else, and they were technically the pre Witch Elves so that's what they get to be.
I am only missing the 5th ed witch elves (with the huge hair) and I'll have every edition in this army lol.
Mostly it will get tossed in 9th Age since Round Bases aren't really my style.

Pulled out my Sisters to look at my next painting challenge.

Cheers,

Painting up some Gutbusters. I have 20 minis I need to pain t for a Tournament next month and I've managed to get 9 of them done. Hope to have 3 more completed by the end of the weekend.

So far finished 15 tacticals waiting for basing and got another 15 lacking just final stage(well except weathering I'll do later once I get playable army). Made first go at base which overall looks like I might go for this way. Also undercoated some more stuff and assembled 20 heavy support guy ready for painting(with legs and body already having been partially painted). Praetorian also got some paint.

Approaching playable small force. Just want that 2k soon so I could play. I hate playing with unpainted force but want to play soon so I have good motivator to keep up chucking!

30 tac marines, 20 heavy support guy, praetorian, 15 terminators, 2 vindicator laser destroyers. That's stuff I'm having ready soonish for basing. Not most competive force no doubt but it's a start.

Posting images of my painted Orks on Dakka.
