I do like the extended version; the original was just toooooo stumpy to be effective.

I agree that GW need to jump onto the digital sculpting thing; being able to start small selling simple STLs of the basics like chapter pads/doors/banners or vehicle detail packs would be really easy for them to do and cost nothing once they have them set up/templated. The main issue would be stopping people from then just distributing them for free elsewhere as attempts to add digital signatures in stls could easily be stripped.

It must be something they are looking into though, given the speed at which the gaming industry is changing

BIL did a nice job on that skull! But I'm glad you didn't opt for crawling spiders. Shudder.

Lots of cool stuff since I last checked in, great to see the progress on the Scythes, but the assault ram is looking great with the printed pieces.

Hope things are okay with your wife's grandmother, care homes back home with me took a serious hit with Covid.

That Kill Team box you mentioned does look nice, but I am concerned about the price when that gets revealed.

Well, not much happening hobby wise. Work and family keeping us busy. Mother in n law was going to move in for a couple weeks while she was recovering from hip surgery, but she delayed that a couple more months so or daughter can get her drivers license and be of more help. Wife’s Grandma still trying to recover from Covid and broken Femur and my mom celebrated her 84th Bday .

Got a Test-cron mostly done. I need some other paints to finish up the blade and maybe doe some weathering on the stone/brown shoulder blades.

Ooh, the Testcrons blade is developing nicely! Sounds like it’s full on with family business, I hope all goes well

Happy birthday, Theo's mom!

Always good stuff on the go here. Best of luck with the non-miniature issues.

Busy RL :/ Testicron is lovely and shiny. Great blade colour.

Thanks guys, the blade is just Aethermatic Blue over coral white....for now, needs more blues

One of the little known uses of a 3D printer is if your hungry you can make Croissants.

You actually don’t even need to be hungry, you can just enjoy saying Croissant, especially if you like saying it with a terrible French accent .

Nice print, I hope it matches the testicron blade somewhere about its person. Would TestiCroissant then be the correct descriptor? Which surely can only be said in a terrible french accent

That's very pain-tastic.

Testcron looks nice and good to now that printer is able to get some necrofrench flyers out of the spool

Nice work! Gives me hope for my own necron scheme which is pretty similar in theory. That's a nice flyer,

I do love replacing the open cockpit of the Scythes, give them a bit of a Star Wars Vulture Droid Fighter look.

Happy birthday, Theo's mom.
Happy dice tower day, Theo's brother.
Happy Croissant day, Theo.

Good looking print! Looks pretty much edible to me.

Liking the test scheme so far.

Well, things have slowed, probably due to winter, but we all hit these slow output patches at times. When time is available there will be a great purge . I look upon the piles of shame that block my view of the foothills and mountains of shame and it saddens me. It more than reminds me of what my grandparents basement looked like years ago, and that was not good . So, four 33 gallon trash bags were filled this weekend, and that was just empty boxes and debris. Most likely a lot of smaller games I purchased just because I got them off the dinged and dented shelves will just get pitched, but the FLGS nearest me has a consignment rack, so maybe I’ll be able to rescue some money. It has just gotten to the overload point. Also it’s blocking my paint desk and desire to even approach it . Also going to look at all the prints littering my desk and purge there too.

In the mean time, I’m printing a worm......

Because I didn’t want to mess with the piles I dug through all my downloads over the last year and moved this guy up the chain. I need to pick up some small sanding sticks/ nail files to get into the detail areas.

I hear you on the clutter. Remote school for the kids has just ruined the state of our house and I rearranged my downstairs storage to open up more space for other people and have yet to get things anywhere remotely tamed.

we shall be patient and await the wonders to come.

Love that test Necron scheme you've got going. The Croissant looks good (and tasty!) as well.

*looks around hobby/office* Yep, I know what you mean about... stuff. I need to get around to getting rid of loads of my stuff too. Mostly kickstarters that I never play so I can make space for the next round of deliveries *face/palm*

Thanks guys. Busy stupid week here, did just barely manage to make it by Miniature Market last night to pick up a copy of Codex Necrons, still need the Primaris codex, but this should keep me busy. Also snagged another color of blue paint and found a spray can of Runelord Brass they marked down to $10 because the cap was broken , usually $30 WTAF GW. It might change my paint scheme for my Necrons, Warmer weather will be the deciding factor on that though.

Also not sure how I screwed up my Amazon order.....it really wasn't intentional . I have a roll of my filament delivered every month (turns out it's every 4 weeks), but I ordered another roll because I thought it was still 2+ weeks away. They both showed up yesterday . The wife didn't think it was that funny , but it is on $22 so not a big stink over it.

Hopefully I'll scrounge some time this weekend to go get some sanding sticks/nail files for final clean up on the Necron Worm parts and do some assembly. I printed of 20 legs yesterday and will do another 10 tonight to make sure. I'm not sure how many sections long I want to make this beast.

Oh he’s sweet but a Psycho



Had to take a snap while basing

Second pass of Aethermatic Blue and most base colors down

That new Necron looks great, I love that new pixaleted aesthetic and your colors work very well for it.

That Psychomancer looks really cool, do I want to add to my pile of shame?

Thank you, I’m still up in the air about the basing, but I just saw that someone is making Necron themed plastic bases , and they are making me very excited.

Yes , Seriously does anyone expect me to tell people to Err on the side of restraint .

Anyways



Psychokiller Quesca ce’ (however you spell it)....

I really like your digi-crons. They're very cool.

Great looking testcron and the scheme carries over nicely to the Psychomancer. The aethermatic blue is really effective.

Started on Szeras. Still enjoying the colors. Also started printing another Croissant.

The real question is: which was more of a pita, psycho or illuminor? Or were both easy and the internet is whiney?
Nice stuff!

I hadn’t heard anything, but hadn’t really looked either. Szeras does not line up (Period). Psycho wasn’t much of an issue, some of the tentacles were troublesome to assemble, but nothing more than usual with my huge fingers.

In the mean time, two failed prints, both times he came out headless, now he is 40K compliant. Still isn’t a president, and still grumpy, but his mittens are still warm and toasty.


Bernie the Word Bearer still extolling the virtues of Socialism in 40K

testify! Is that the Bernie of thingiverse?
