Hope your back is on the road to recovery.

Cheers bud. Getting there gradually, much obliged!

Thanks! I used a greenstuff flooring roller and cut sections to suit.

Well why not eh?

Thanks mate. I know you like your oriental adventures.

Right. Not painted much but had a brainwave: I'm going... old school for this month's dakka contest.



Not 100% but might paint these on sprue as retro space wolves and frame them for a mate. There is a gap on one sprue I might try to sneak an easter egg of some sort in.

That sounds like a fun project. I think I have a sprue of RTB01 tactical marines somewhere, but not the upgrade sprue. As always, I'll be following with interest.

Now showing more Samurai Marines, Bad Squiddo Amazons, and an Oldhammer Chaos Thug!

Painting total as of 3/28/2024: 21 plus a set of modular spaceship terrain

Painting total for 2023: 79 plus 28 Battlemechs and a Dragon-Balrog

Not where I should be

I still paint on sprue sometimes. Particularly if it's detail parts.

All looking brilliant sir. Love the bobble head trekky crews.

Oh thanks buddy. I might need to sneak an easter egg of some sort into the sprue gap.

Thanks buddy. They were surprisingly fun to do.
Felt like painting up some diggers is Decepticon, I mean Oscorp, colours:

For whatever reason, I'm struggling to be motivated to paint the mcp, so easing back in.

Thanks buddy, I do like em mucky!

This month has been quite quiet - we call it Mad March in teaching as it's when we start to gear up for exams.
Meanwhile, my rtb1 sprues are just about done:


Now to frame them!

In terms of background ... what would be a fitting one for a bunch of marine parts? the least distraction would be sheets of metal, riveted as a floor of a spacevessel?

Did you decide against the "easter egg"?

Good suggestions I was thinking an old WD page or a bit of blanchistu but that's a decent shout.

No, just wasn't sure what to do initially; needed to dig into the old bitsbox

And framed!

Not bad. Not bad although my terrible photography makes the sprues look slightly squint

Looks badass framed... and with the colours of the bitz, a white backdrop is the better choice!

which makes me remember , I own a sprue of chrome coloured marines... there is an idea...

What a fun project. You really captured the feel of RT-era paintjobs.

You know... I've always been very confused as to the logic of painting anything on the sprue... but framed, that looks very cool.

Thanks pal. I'm not usually a fan of it but I think on this occasion it works OK

So, felt the urge a bunch of the rest of the terrain from the MCP core set, around the ruined Gas Station, and the matching Ultron Drone swarm.

Bit of detail, with the gas pumps:

I couldn't not do a bit of graffiti...

Love some freehand graffiti.

Added a Brutal Cities mdf AC unit on the side

Not forgetting the swarm

And of course the drones!


A fun time was had. I do enjoy a spot of terrain. Might even do big Ultron next.

OK... it's a stupid little thing. But I love the fluttering papers on the fan of the air conditioner. Just the perfect detail.

Ah! Thanks mate It's a touch I always try to add to my A/C Units, so I appreciate it didn't go unnoticed.

And now...
It's those notorious nezumi, those samurai skaven, sinister samurats... the Sengoku Splinters!

Mostly rolljordan minis, with some Mantic parts, gw oldhammer runner and catcher, and a generic superhero Hulk (plus a lot of gs) for the Rat Oni (and his little pal Remy).


Throwers

Linesmen

Blitzers

And gutter runners

Fun team Now to play the game
Takes me past 100 for the year so far. Not too bad

Those guys look great! The Rathulk was skillfully done-- he really fits the rest of the team.
