Thanks, exactly what I was hoping for, different, but still spooky.

Thanks, yeah, the speed these are cranking out is making me very happy. Tons of points done and on the table top.

Well now we have a problem Houston. I was not planning on this production speed obviously. Also did not have two snow/Ice days of painting time planned either with most likely tomorrow being another snow day. I almost went to the local shop on Tuesday afternoon to pick up some more figs and paint, but figured I had enough, I was wrong. I am almost out of my black basecoat. I’ll use what I have to start the Warriors, but I don’t think I have enough for the 60 I have assembled. Outside we have a ton least 8” of snow on top of 1/4” of ice, so going to the local shop is not in order, even if they are open.

Until then photo drop. 17 models from assembly to paint in 2 snow days. I feel good about it.

4 murder buckets.

5 Wardens, one was done last month.

One of the 2 Skorpekh Lords, the other is done too, just didn’t need to be in the terrible shot.

Second of the two doomwalkers. Still needs it’s shoulderpads which I left off to get details done.

4 Lords one was a repaint from my old color scheme.

2plasmancers

I guess I still need to do eyes, I’m leaning towards Purple or Black...suggestions are welcome.

Edit: Well I got 30 primed black before I ran out. Hopefully that keeps me busy.
Edit2: first 30 basically done, just one question.

The whole army right now has the gold/brass shoulders except these guys. Should I give them the shoulders? Or since they are grunts who are meaningless leave them with silver.

Also I say basically done because, I need black to do their gun cables . Otherwise another 30 minutes of work to do including the shoulders if I go that route.

Nice looking Marines and Necrons

The Cat'n star Gods are pleased with her 104 power level "Beginner" Hoarde.


She does demand more Flying things, Cardboard scratching Obelisks and gravy slathered chicken...who can say no.

Must go pick up Black paint (Also a Dark Purple Contrast Paint), Models and Cardboard Scatching Obelisks today.

D'aww, she looks like a sweet kitty! Necrons are turning out great too.

One concern I've had about possibly getting a cat of my own is that I'm afraid of their habit of knocking things down off of shelves and tables all the time. When it's something like a piece of paper, a pen, or an empty plastic drinking glass it's no big deal, but if it's an expensive Warhammer miniature (or a whole shelf full of them), that frightens me. I figure if and when I have children I'll have to tackle that problem, but I don't want to have to deal with it now. I'd get a bird instead, but they are sensitive to chemical fumes so between my glue, paints, and especially my 3D printer that's a no-go.

She is the favored of our four cats.....or at least she favors me out of the four. She is in my lap right now as I type. None of the four have ever knocked my models off the shelves or done anything bad. But then again they play well with each other and we have toys of their own to mess about with.

I picked up the Necron Combat patrol today...so there are new recruits for the Cat’n to bolster her forces. Also got the last pot of Corvus Black and a pot of Shyish Purple which I will test out as eyes.

Lord Peacock is almost done.

He is ready to strut his stuff

Working on the Doom Scythe.

Left is actual model, the right is one I printed last year on PLA printer. I think I have a second one downstairs. They are the same width and length with overall same dimensions. I think they are passable.

Painting in progress.

Very nice, and scale ot down to have a printable aeronautica force

Wow, you've really been cranking out the models recently. I don't think I've seen anyone do orange on necrons before.

Yes cats and models, shudder.

We have a new pair of Burmese kittens (rest well our 20 year old Burmese that is no longer with us).

I was painting the other day and heard a nasty crunching sound to find one of them had taken a liking to the Primarch Sanguinus model that I was in the process of putting together. Fortunately no major harm done, but damn does it not understand how much those Forgeworld models cost? Or that the resin is probably pretty bad for him?

Yes, that printed one is definitely passable The three Doom Scythes will be a nice addition to your force.

I agree. Three of those things together will be very impressive.

Sorry, production has diminished, family and health stuff.

Did get the 5 death mark done, added the purple for the eyes, probably need to do a dot of actual purple over this contrast, but not doing “standard” OSL kind of adds to the “xeno-ness” in my mind.


The immortals are assembled and all the black and silvers are done.

No need to apologise - even with RL interfering, you're still mighty productive, and they are going to be a scary bunch of space bots stay safe and well, bro.

Painted up the Immortals, still have to hit the cables.

I’ve gone and gotten all the bases (except the 30 warriors) textured.

Not sure of the color I will go with the basing, definitely should be light though.

Deathmarks look great and a single dot would look great (knowing that he never does it on his own minis ). Croissants look great, they can be quite nasty on the battlefield irc.

Looks good. What colour are you thinking for the cabling? I would go green or purple personally...

Thanks guys, long week was long. Exhausted. I did fix the resin printer finally, I’ve been stupid and been doing something wrong, but I blame it on buying parts in bulk and them not coming with instructions . Anyway, printer goes BRRRRRRRRR.

Kind of at a standstill with Necrons again. Caught on basing, just not motivated either.

I keep looking at the 40k rules and AOS rules and cry at the bloat. I’d like to try the one page rules stuff out, but the local shop is so fixated on tournaments .

Thinking about stripping down all the Bushido models I have to repaint them in a more unified color scheme per faction.

Oh well... hopefully some company shows off something to distract me.

Printer indeed goes Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Not Chaos Dwarf Not 300 slave giant

Working on colors now.

Not print is great

Thanks, hopefully the Not paint is good enough.


Juggernaut and Sabertooth might be printing currently. Having seen everyone else painting those bad boys has me jealous .

Excellent fellow. Kobarf's STLs are excellent. And not paint is lush.

Yep, sabertooth and Juggs just off the printer, but now it’s time to watch the new episode of 1883 with the wife.

I started printing Chaos Dwarf Immortals, besides the captains, standard and musician that I already printed, the unit has 5 regulars, each has options for axe, sword or spear with their shields. Each of the five I’m printing in batches of three with all options. It’ll take 2.5 hours per print, but will start an army build pretty quick.

Sleepless nights can be productive....even if just printing and a lick of paint.

Caine Marko, Juggernaut, at 9’5” and 1900 lbs he gives a Space Marine something to fear.

One of my favorite characters from Marvel. Not a mutant, but magically empowered by the crystal gems (I thought it was bands, but the marvel fandom page says otherwise) of Cyttorak.

3Dprinted him last night it has Sabertooth and a bunch of Inmortal Chaos Dwarves from Lost Kingdom MINIatures. Sabertooth top center. Each disc is 3 of the same Inmortal with their shields and options for axe, spear and sword. There is a third CD on the cure machine right now with the fourth pose printing as we speak.

I really need to get some new Isopropyl solution as my old stuff is quit past it’s prime.

Also got the musician painted up last night during one of my sleepless fits.

And backside detail to see the giant horn this guy has .


Finished slicing the king who goes on the throne/Palaquin and his attendant. Also sliced up a tray of palaquin carrying slaves (12 on each tray, 6 flavors). It’s pretty big, then again it really is inspired by the 300 movie.

Juggernaut looks the business. Nice job dude.

Juggernaut looks unstoppable. And it is the Crimson Gem that empowered him. Crimson Bands is a spell Dr. Strange likes to use. 300 inspired minis look cool. The palanquin sounds like it will be most impressive. Can't wait to see it.

That 3D printer is making your already impressive output border on ridiculous.
I guess not sleeping also helps. Sorry about that.
Stuff is looking really cool, though.

Thanks Everybody. Hard day at a quiet office today due to lack of sleep and not even phones ringing.

It'll be a while before you do get to see it. At least done and on my page, but you can see it over on their website.https://www.lostkingdomminiatures.com/en/infernal-dwarves-magmhorin/201-445-assur-the-god-king-on-palanquin.html#/26-supports-pre_supported can't link photo due to stupid.

There are 42 freaking slaves carrying the throne, thats 4 batches of build plates just to do them .
forgot I had saved this photo of the monthly patreon I got these from way back when.


I had printed out the beast, but the tower was too big for my build plate

I do like their chaos dwarves. That palanquin is insanely large, so I don't blame you for not starting it yet

Wow, that is large Theophony.

First they get their large hats and the next thing you know they have increased the size of their palanquins to ridiculous proportions, all to increase their stature...dwarves always touchy about their height.

Cheers,

CB
