That's really impressive

Part 1 of my militia / SA force done.



Now i only need to build the HWT's cavalry and grenadiers for that force. Oh and more fieldguns.

Ooh those look sweet! Have you got any events booked to take them to?

Aaaahhhhh. A long weekend this weekend. To be followed by…..a long weekend next weekend.

Cheers, big ears! Literally, as one of them (I neither know nor care which) is courtesy of Charlie Boy’s coronation.

This long weekend will be me building the remaining Rhino and Contemptor. Maybe the last 20 MkVI (seriously considering another Tac Squad, with no bayonets for when I need to scrimp on points).

The other one will hopefully bring stable enough weather I can break out the spray cans and get as much undercoating done as I can before a) I die b) run out of spray c) am abducted by aliens d) Britain’s weather sees a pasty nerd enjoying decent conditions and thinks better of it.

Granted a) and c) are the least likely.

It's my 3rd marine army and 4th I've painted. So, I have lots of experience painting marines, and I have more of a craftsman approach to painting that allows me to really churn them out once I figure out how I'm going to paint them. But thank you very much.

I really like the space marine infantry aesthetic and truly enjoy painting them. And maybe I have a screw loose, but I even enjoy marine vs. marine games. Probably the most of any match up. The big reason I started HH was for the marine vs. marine games and easy narrative to why that's happening.

no, only my attic,

Well, i'd like to attend that event, but i don't think i can make it to your attic unfortunately.

Putting together a Unification era kill team for the Immortal Ninth, Revenant Legion of the wastelands. With bead rivets and curly hair, the crew is pretty much ready for painting.

That's really cool!

FW and 3d print fusion!

White Scars contemptor with old timey plasma

Cheers, hopefully that carries over after painting as well

That's so damn cool. Do you sell/share your prints anywhere?

Unfortunately the plasma is kitbashed from a commerical file https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/space-knight-heavy-shoulder-plasma-caster

It's not a difficult project as both this and the free regular contemptor plasma come unmerged, so you can move all the parts around without any special operations

hahah, the pleasure of having a table for one self and close friends.
Also am not really one for the big events.

Cheers Not Online!!!

With a possible teaser of a new edition of Epic out in the aether, what better time to be painting some small killer robots and tech-priests
20 mm bases for reference.

Finally finished building my SoH Recon squad. The terrain bits ended up being a bit obtrusive, but will hopefully prevent gun barrels snapping off. And I think having tall bits of rubble sells the idea that these guys are snipers.

Gun elongating modifications are always annoying to keep straight.

Good job on them Snord!

Meanwhile i worked off my disapointment with the roadmap by scaling a proteus.



Probably need to do another pass with the light metal and stonger akhelian to make them more pop and fix the X's a bit but sofar i am quite content.

Those are damn good nemesis bolters for a physical conversion

Just a quick project, but I managed to polish off the Exodus for the Alpha Legion. All ready for the Battle of Pluto, though I am not sure that rifle will be of huge use in the tight confines of a space station...

While I should be working one something not HH related I sneaked in the time to transplant the new plastic sponson hardpoint to the ol' Proteus hull.



I have to admit that blank slate of a doorless Land Raider is too tempting... does the world need a food truck Land Raider?

Finished my AL forces. Until Gw finally releases seekers... or mk III marines and i cut of the front sight to get them to run as 2 seeker squads.

have managed to get a game lined up for next weekend so taken the excuse to sort out some half finished models who have been sitting about for a while

and while not yet totally finished they are at the point they could be used (all that remains is highlighting the shoulder pads and adding decals which will be done during the rest of the week)

this provides my Death Guard with a pair of Apothecaries to add to the two 20 strong tactical squads, a terminator character, who to be fair is unlikely to be used as there is no squad to go with him, a support squad with Alchem flamers which I hope will cause bouts of rage and a seven man strong laser cannon squad.

looking for but not yet found the bag with the cataphractii power axes in

If you paint it up as a heresy-era Imperial Army landraider and include a Squat, a Ratling, a Beastman and a Harlequin crew-person, absolutely

Furthering my inability to stick to a given project, amidst a recruitment drive for my Militia, a new Seraphon force for AoS, the Shattered Legions, and various MESBG forces, I converted up my last five AoD box Cataphractii into Justaerin to go along with my Dark Herald to lead a SoH allied detachment. I've just got a little bit left to do to give them more SoH detail like lodge coins and they'll be ready to paint.

Done until GW releases Seekers.

Needs more Contemptors.

No.

Thou shalt not be a horrendous experience to play against through blatantly fielding overpowered things! 11th comandment.

That said, i will get a deredo or two if they are reasonable priced in local currency.

They're good, not overpowered. You just need to learn how to deal with it.
That or play Iron Warriors because it's funny to kill Dreads with Bolters.

Yeah no, contemptors are basically all the points the leviathan is too expensive too cheap

Spamming them and their wierd profile makes them honestly just horrendously strong and not good for a fun game.

I avoid that , even though i love them looks wise and am very much disapointed that i didn't get myself the full old AL version , it wouldn't be very fun. I may go for the full Talon at some point but right now no .

So don't take an army of Contemptors.
Taking more than one of a unit is not spamming it either, spam is when it starts to become the larger portion of a list.
