Finished assembling the oop metal Eldar War Walker. Tomorrow I will start on the second one.

Oh man I painted NOTHING this week. Am going to try to expand my Terrain collection though. Have a few pieces I been meaning to finish.

Sometimes I paint robots, sometimes i paint dogs. Today? A dog.

No robo dogs yet. I am seriously lacking in that department.

Build build build build build!

I'm letting the industrial insanity take me!

Post tournament, long weekend building! Ended up 3rd in a Malifaux tournament today, so picked up Desperate Mercenaries with my voucher, and I'm cleaning up and building Nightmare Batman as well for BMG

Started building a second oop metal Eldar War Walker (third and final member of the unit). Again, thank goodness for white tac (formerly blue tac), as holding the pinned joints without it while the 5 minute epoxy dries would be murder.

When I get it finished I should start thinking about painting them.

Cheers,

painted a big mek with SAG, no nicely ready to sit on a shelf until someone gives it either better rules or a better point cost.

very nice model though.

painted the camo colours on 16 boyz

watched a few games of V2 SAGA, discovered you can play Romans! Can see an order coming on

Been painting pair of these beauties and 6 knights. Noticed I assembled legs of one bit poorly leading to odd look :( Also played first game of AT and rules are as solid as I thought from reading them. Simple game of warlord+reaver+warhound(proxied with killa kans) and 3 knights with weaponry up to taste(limited by GME's weapon cards). I had warlord with bog standard apoc launcher+2xvolcano cannon, reaver with fist, melta cannon and turbo laser destructors and warhound with inferno cannon and turbo laser destructor vs warlord with volcano cannon, sunfury plasma and vulcan mega bolters, reaver with laser blaster, volcano cannon and apoc launcher plus warhound with plasma and vulcan mega bolter.

I tried to hold the line vs their vital cargo(carried by reaver). At first I thought I was doing good as my warlord blew out the warhound and knights but this was done by being trigger happy with pair of volcano cannons leaving reactor quite high. Warlord was then subjected to counter attack which dropped shield and reaver then hit him with volcano cannon. This caused critical hit to leg which was REAL inconvenient as my warlord started to swing left or right. So I was forced to move to get enemy in sight which meant if I order extra repair I can't shoot. My repair rolls were crap and got also body critical which meant more heat so soon I was already rolling for reactor damage from overheat. My reaver was meanwhile having hard time getting shields up even with boosted repairs so it was trying to lumber forward not being able to shoot before his warlord and reaver blew him apart. And warhound and knights were dealt by warlord who turned his side around(would have been perfect target for my warlord had it not been totally impotent due to leg critical and maxed out reactor heats!) as my distance was just a bit too far for knights to get into chopping range. And his reaver slipped past my warlord who unable to boost turn which was required to even be able to see him and even if it had I couldn't have pushed up my reactors to fire up volcano cannon anyway so there literally was no way I could stop that reaver!

Convincing win for the opponent :( But game was fun

Sticking and sealing coffee grounds and flock to the bases of some jungle terrain.

Painting up my farseer/spiritseer:

Warlords ready for freehand, weathering and basing. Smaller ones ready for brush, all airbrush done

More basing work on both my marines and my Overlords. Can’t be bothered to post pics though.

Finished assembling the second oop metal Rogue Trader War Walker. This model came out in 1987 and had been painted several times by others, when I striped it and cleaned it up I found flash that could be 31 years old...the figure was lead so it was soft and I had to be carful in the scrubbing and clean-up.

Put together a female Imperial Guard airborne (test) trooper ( parts are a mix of Victoria Miniatures and Anvil Industry with a smock sculpted from greenstuff (Very proud of) and Assault group RPG7 (with greenstuff high explosive fragmentation warhead) and put a chimera turret on a ramshackle games Degu scoutcar to make it an armoured car (hull is still very much WIP).


Automatically Appended Next Post:
trooper will be painted and glued together once I establish a scheme. Smock has hood on back so may give it reversible winter/summer camouflages.

Reavers getting armour in place layer by layer. Warlords got some terrain pieces to base. Knights got some red as well. Game coming on thursday at store so want them representive even if not complete

those titans look very nice

Spent a few hours working on my orks, 16 boyz gained drybrushing on their armour, bases painted and skin colours added, start made on weapons

Did some work to finish up my kill team. Sgt. Ashkal and two of his specialists are now ready for deployment tonight.

Thanks. Hoping to get reavers to same stage as warlord today or tomorrow. Still lack basing, free hand and weathering but good enough for thursday game. Then back to orks. I really should have been painting those as 6k apoc game is approaching and I want as much stuff painted as possible in case codex has some huge point costs say on stompa(which I'll bring 2)! But the AT is such an awesome game and game on store coming on thursday so got carried away. And those are some pretty models(too bad I screwed assembly on some level on ALL 4 ones...Luckily one is not really visible(inside the reavers face plate. I was stupid enough to do assembling on late night so sleepy head I had trouble figuring how to put the piece together which resulted in turning around piece with plastic glue around too much spreading it and partially melting some details...Good thing that face plate covers that part!), one is rather tiny(one reaver leg angled too steeply forward. Ooops! Didn't realize that might be problem) and warlords...Well knees are better protected on rear anyway!

More work on my Nurgle crew

Priming Fallout Wasteland Warfare minis & reading the rules.

Started repainting my Asurmen/Asurman model.

Continued repainting my Asurmen/Asurman model.

Secret Weapon Miniatures has a 10% off sale of their pumpkin-themed "Field of Scream" bases until the 10th, so I thought I'd paint up a few FoS bases I have. The bases in the picture are actually from the SWM "Bag-o-Crap" factory rejects, so you might be able to see where I applied the putty to fill in the air bubbles. The animated pumpkin miniature is from Ral Partha Europe's "Wizard's Conclave" miniature line.

Continued work on 30 goff stormboyz(minus jump packs that I do separately now that I got them) and 21 grots. Today will be playing game of Adeptus Titanicus(2 warlords, reaver and 3 knights vs opponents 2 reavers, warlord and 6 knight. We both are very similar with model collection so no big surprises on that front! Can't wait for warhounds)

Stripped paint from some traded figures. The non-primered ones gave up their gray plastic easily, but I have this one dreadnought that was primered Yellow. I don't know what primer this guy used but it seems to be defeating the bath.

Also getting back to building the redemptor that i keep forgetting to finish.

Adding some base colours to some more Death Guard models. Hopefully I can finish them off on my next sitting as they're almost ready for washes.

Playing down my local GW for the first time since 5th edition.

Finishing, or very nearly, 16 boyz so Gobfink's lot have thier third full sized mob.

just needs base edges varnishing and the unit marking dots applying.

started the cloth colour on the next unit, some Lootas

I got to try out Infinity for the first time. Still a bit confused by the rules, but I had fun! It was with the starter set, and playing as Haqqislam, if I'm getting that name right.

Starting to build my Night Haunt.
