I've been working on an idea for making a fancy basing thing for kings of war... something that will look nice but also allow me to remove the figures to use them for other things

Started to repaint the Orks. Apparently couldn't resist a couple paint-test marines. Using contrast instead of the old white primer and ink wash technique looks much better, altough there is a learning curve with the new paints:



Now its on to the vehicle mounted orks - just as soon as I figure out there the front part of my WarTrike went

Going to work on some terrain and later possibly some Guardsmen.

Test print template of a game board for Duels of the Crystal Labyrinth in Gimp. Printing size isn't 100% correct but it is close enough. I'll be using card layers over an A4 foam board for a very slight bevelled effect, so one has thin pits to place miniatures and dice. Something about foamboard from the craft shop that screams "game board"...

Painting some regular Guardsmen.

Finally tried this, not too bad on the thinner paints like washes and contrasts.

Would be very interested to see this.

Building more Slaanesh Hellstriders. I’ve got 15 now, 5 fully done, 5 built and unpainted, 5 still on sprue. They come in white boxes now, and some have oval bases, some don’t. Thankfully, I had 5 leftover oval bases when I ordered two boxes, and got 5 more; so all 15 hellstriders are on cav sized oval bases. I kept my Seekers on biker bases; Seekers come with bike bases in normal boxes and Wrath and Rapture, but oval cav bases in SC boxes. So...my Slaanesh army is “done”. Purchased, anyway. I still have a ways to go to make it ALL done.

As soon as its finished you shall!

Thankfully the horror tiles can be done later, but for tonight I've been pinning out the destiny pool, wards and wounds on the first card layer....

Hunting down all my old catachan minis from years ago in the loft. Will have a bit of a summer project going on with my eldest lad.
He wants to build some purple primaris marines ala emperors children colours and want something fun to build and paint . So jungle fighters it is.

Finally starting to get paint on my Everchosen entry... I don't think I'll make it on time so I may just enter something different but we'll see how fast I get going.

Gonna prime 8 Hellstriders and their mounts (if the temp cooperated with primer) and maybe build the last two.
If there is still time (doubtful), I’ll finish painting my KoS and/or contorted epitome. I want my tournament list FULLY painted ASAP!

Still painting some regular Guardsmen.

working on some blood angels today, and remembering why i hadn't done anything major in a while that used lots of reds

Some work on a gameboard.

Building some of my Warhammer Conquest backlog, did some terrain and a Plagueburst Crawler. Tried to paint some CSM's, but it was too warm.

Decal work on my Gideon Battle tanks.

Blending the cloak for my painting challenge entry. Highly doubt I'm going to finish by Saturday for the Everchosen event so I'll enter something else into that.

Trying to locate my mordor models! 2 warg riders and witch king of foot are missing for sure. Maybe some moranon orcs. I know I have them but my storage solutions, especially for unfinished models, isn't optimal

edit: found them.

Glued most of the Obelisk together. I'm just going to be happy to get it out of my pile of shame. It will be an easy paint job. Spray silver, airbrush blue and gold, dry brush, then wash. The C'Tan will also be pretty straightforward.

Painted a load of wooden counters to represent Tzeentch Horrors for DOTCL.

First painting after holiday in japan. 15 moranon orcs and 6 warg viders. Next up need all the metal.

Finished my second wardog amiriger.
Turned out decent imo.



The one to the left.

It would be cool if people put spoilers on really big pictures.

Taking a painting break from a second Orc Blood Bowl team, reorganizing the hobby shelves, waiting for a Raven Guard update, saving money to buy The Battle of Pelennor Fields for a friend, assembling some Italeri Mongols, prepping some terrain test bases...

Further work on moranon orcs. Also got crazy idea of soloing tale of 4 gamers for LOTR. 4 forces at once ~250 pts per month(exact point total per month isn't set in stone but after 4 months 1000 pts lists done for each so one month could have 400 pts while other has 100 averaging to 250 pts per month. Serpent horde in particular makes 250 pts per month hard as mumakil alone costs more!)

I quickly banged out some AoS terrain. I also bought a plastic tub to store my terrain in...and it wasn't big enough for everything I have ...but I still need more terrain!
