@gobert - Thanks gobert. These weren't helped by me remembering them as being in a different box for a couple of months.
@Olthannon - Thanks Olthannon. They're definitely a contrast to the green units I've put out before now.
@Captain Brown - Why, thank you, Cap'n. And thank you for tipping us over onto page 7
+ + +
I've been meaning to do a Sickly Pallor of Decay ( SPoD) Plaguebearer unit ever since I completed a SPoD Poxbringer back in 2019, and followed it up with a SPoD Sloppity Bilepiper last year. There are also SPoD Nurglings on each base I've painted.
It's a fun variant colour scheme, just so my Daemons aren't a sea of green. I may well add a second unit in this scheme at some stage, as I know I've got more Plaguebearers kicking around somewhere, awaiting build and paint.
I'd've finished this unit sooner, but for two things - one, I was away for a week towards the end of July, and secondly I've been working with a friend of mine on starting a podcast. We've got 4 episodes in the can now (subject to editing), so we're hoping to launch soon. Mainly problem we've found so far, though, is sticking to an intended duration - but I guess that just means they'll make good background for painting sessions
What's up next? Well, I think I'm going to continue with "finishing off WIP stuff" while I decide what to build next. That means I'm looking at four options - finish the Haemotrope Reactor (2024); work up the two ruins from the 9th edition Command Starter (2022); finish the Thunderer (2022); finish the 5 BA Assault Intercessors & BA Bladeguard Lieutenant (2023). Not currently sure which.
In terms of building, I've got one more Plasma Generatorium to build; the Generatorum Hub to build; 10 more Necron Warriors to build; and 3 Tomb Blades to build, all as immediate options. Building the third PG is almost certainly going to happen this time round, as it is a simple build I can do while watching a Twitch stream. I should probably build my first unit of Tomb Blades, too, as I haven't got any of them in my Necrons yet. Probably the Gauss build for the first three.

I should probably go back and add some Ulthuan Grey highlights to various points on the skin at some stage, but these guys are ready for the table at the moment.
Talos Bronze worked well for a metallic paint over a white basecoat, but I wouldn't describe it as a bronze - it looks far more like copper to me. Still, a dash of Agrax and some Nihilakh Oxide got things closer to how I wanted them to look.

@toasteroven - Thanks. It is one that I originally saw on a Warhammer YT painting video, so I'm not taking credit for it, but I do like the look
@inmygravenimage - Cheers graven. When it comes to Grandfather, a pustule is a pustule.
@gobert - Thanks gobert. In theory, you could probably do a Nurgle army where each unit is painted for a different form of disease or necrosis, but would it look good on the table?
+ + +
I had an idea what I was going to get finished next, and this definitely wasn't it. Still, progress is progress. Couldn't really get any traction with painting the Reactor or the Marines, but once these Tomb Blades were built, it was pretty simple to roll through into basing & undercoating them, then getting them painted.
I definitely want a word with whoever designed the Tomb Blade kit - both the Gauss Blasters and Shield Vanes would really benefit from a better way of attaching them, which is why the alignments on the three I've built might not be perfect.
Might try and do another post in a week or so, just showing off the "active" WIP models that are on the go, assuming I've not finished any of them by then.

There’s only one way to find out! Might make it easier to tell the difference between units, I think tzurks geometric daemons did that iirc.
Love how the tomb blades turned out, and I could not agree more about how much of a pita they are to assemble… and how easy they are to break! They do look cool though

Nice tomb blades. I love the look of these models and your subtle blue paint scheme works very well with them.

@gobert - The plaguebearers could make for some... interesting research, though possibly not something to do when you've just eaten. Didn't realise the Tomb Blades were overly breakable - something to look out for when I have to transport them, I guess.
@Warboss_Waaazag - Thanks for the kind words.
+ + +
Apparently, working on multiple things at once can be slower than just concentrating on one - who knew? Still, I've managed to finish off the Khorne Bloodmaster that originally showed up in here nearly three years ago, so it's good to see I can complete things in a timely manner.
I've picked up issues 2 & 3 of Combat Patrol, and gotten the Infernus Marines built and started - I'm going to paint them up as Mentor Legion, using a Contrast-centric approach, so we'll see how that plays out.
I've also found where the box of Fenrisian Wolves I bought in Q1 went, and built those over the last weekend. They're getting their bases sorted at present, then can get undercoated and under way. Hopefully I can get one of the two units finished off before another month has passed, but we'll see...

Looks like it has been nearly six months since the last bingo card update, so here you go:
At this point, I doubt I'm going to complete it this year - however, I'll give completing a row and a column the old college try. Of those, I think row 2 and, oddly, column C may be the ones to focus on, but we'll see how I get on in Q4.

Well done finishing the blood master, he’s a cool mini, now nicely painted! The Mentor Legion are a cool scheme, I look forward to seeing them grace your plog!

@gobert - Thanks gobert. He isn't a bad sculpt at all, but I do wish I'd left him off the base to paint him. Would've made both painting the base and getting to parts of the model itself a lot easier. + + + I may have distracted myself from the Infernus Marines, but at least that means I've gotten something else done fairly quickly. I remembered a video I's seen on the Warhamer YouTube channel about painting Fenrisian Wolves with Contrast paints, and thought I'd take a crack at that. I'll be honest, I'm pretty happy with the outcome - except for how few points a unit of Fenrisian Wolves takes up in a list. Apparently I'm up to 300 points of painted Space Wolves now, but that's three characters, a unit of Wolf Scouts, and a unit of Wolves, so hardly the most useful army... Steps Pictures 5 Fenrisian Wolves I really should knuckle down and finish off the Infernus Marines next, but I'm also undertaking a #bigbrushchallenge with a friend of mine to paint the MotM Kruleboy, so he needs to get done by November 4th - and will handily fill up that "Any Model" square on my bingo card. Latest field manual came out today - Necrons are 5 points more expensive than they were, and my general Imperial list went up by a net of 5 points, once I factor in the wolves. Quick question, as I don't have the SM 'dex - are any of the weapons combinations that the Jump Pack Captain can be built with not currently allowed? 2024 Points Log (MFM v1.13, 16/10/24)
