Received the first package of foam crates and painted them up quickly. Going to see if it works on the table, or if I need to go back and paint some individual barrels (which I'd rather avoid!)

Elbows,

Where did you get those?

Found five minutes to add some sand to three metal Escher's bases and glue it on.

Cheers,

They're Micro Arts Studios hard foam "crate heaps", three optional sets. You can't find them reasonably in the US but Trolltrader has some on eBay from the UK with reasonable shipping.

Painted this. Also rolled some dice in Age of Sigmar for the first time with my partner. Just the introduction "battleplans" from the Stormstrike box set, with only a couple painted miniatures in total. Explaining the rules was both more and less complicated than I thought it would be. AoS is pretty good like that. I never really did stop to think how convoluted the "Hit-Wound-Save" sequence might be for someone who has never seen it before until sitting down to play with my significant other.

Some progress on my Swooping Hawks:

Started doing some work on Plague Marines this morning, then quickly remembered why I still have so many to do and how much I dislike painting them. Now working on some Genestealers.

Because?

Today I spray primed a Stormcast army I've had laying in a box for a few years:

1 guy on the dragonhorse thingy
20 hammers/shields (Liberators?)
5 archers
10 of the two handed hammer guys (Dominators? Decimaters?)
Guy with the lantern and spear
The chaplain guy with the standard with the candles on it
A converted chaplain guy to represent the Lord with the sword/hammer
The bugle guy
The standard guy who casts a meteor
The sword/shield knight (Questor?)

I have 3 of the winged hammer guys assembled with magnetized wings but I need to glue in some plastic to keep them from rotating then assemble the other 3 winged guys. I also have the new female commander, another sword/shield commander, and another guy on a dragonhorse to assemble.

They were sprayed with Rustoleum aluminum primer which is nice and bright for contrast paints. I'm thinking one coat of light purple then the darker purple washed into the recesses. Turquoise on the shoulders and shields? Gold trim?

Quickly did up another three "stacks o' crates", for a complete massive rusty depot.

Elbows, why do you keep posting things I will want to get?

Finished the 3 Eschers for the Monthly Painting Competition, now I need to take photos.

Disptached another Swap Shop Sale.

Cheers,

Why would you do that?

Got in a game of Kings of War 3rd Edition.
It's the same game, but they've managed to make it play even better and smoother somehow.
Changes to my army are interesting and I'm enjoying getting to grips with them.

Another day of Black Crusade-ing.

Just working on some dungeon crawly test bits...ordered another bit of test stuff.

PS: I'll try to add something Captain Brown needs to buy soon...I'll think of something.

Came 11th in an 80 man tournament today. Five games over two days, of which I won 4 and lost 1.

Got best in faction which was nice!

What count-as models these are?

Me I'm trying to finish up LOTR tale of X gamers for october and took headstart for next month bonus model, the Balrog. I would like to have that for tournament in 9.11 so bit of a rush...

Sealed the three Eschers for the Monthly Painting Challenge, have to take some photos asap to get them in before the deadline.

Cheers,

The idea is to get some bloodletters painted. Probably a Magic game as well

Putting base coats on four small scratchbuilt ships

Played game of necrons and orks and made first go at balrog skin and flames

Game of Kill Team; Drukhari vs Horrors.

Day of Black Crusade-ing went well. We spent far too long taking down a Mutalith Vortex Beast. Our 1KSons Sorcerer managed to accidentally summon a trio of Bloodletters. They didn't last all that long, but one of them busted our Alpha Legion HTH monster's giant double-handed chainaxe. He did pick up the Daemon's Hellblade though. Those things are DANGEROUS.

Out of sheer morbid curiosity I filtered the thread to see Mordian2016's other posts within this thread.

They aren't many, but they're all posts about this thread and the OP, but none of them are ever him contributing to the thread. It's... weird.

Tried to un-warp some cork hills and painted some skeletons (just have a few for RPG and maybe Vanguard).

Inventoried an X-Wing 1.0 starter I picked up reasonable on ebay. Guy threw in some extra tokens and cards, which was nice of him

Did some Chaos cultist conversions this morning. Now working on painting Slaanesh Chaos Marines, slowly working my way through about 50 models.

I have 20 Freeguild Swordsmen I got off Ebay that I need to rebase. I also think I'm out of spare round 25mm bases so I'll have to go through all my bits boxes for spares.

Working on some Swap Shop sales and maybe a purchase. Collecting bits for terrain.

Went to a model train shop near me, it's a wonder I even found out that it exists to be honest,

Got some pine trees and got them on wider basing, much easier that making my own. Just need to flock the bases and seal them all.

More work on CSM. Getting into a steady rhythm of painting the colour scheme now and making some decent progress.

Cracking on with my Exodites for the monthly painting challenge.

Picked up some supplies for terrain.

Cheers,
