Worked on 6 more battle sisters, redid power swords, packed tuesday game stuff ready and put magnets to lotr dwarves ready for thursday game and first faction that got made for my new storage/transport solution

Casting a Tyranid Warrior leg.

Painting the two Immolators I am entering for this Month's unofficial Painting Contest.

Built a handfull of action pose scions that will get painted and added to the planet mudball army. As usual, nothing too wild.

Reworking the casual tourney list to try to get the ability to stand up against tau, but damn if I can figure how to kill that many (40) shield drones. Ever.

Continued painting the two Immolators I am entering for this Month's unofficial Painting Contest.

Back to sculpting. I started on another Sisters of Battle figure - this one carrying a heavy looking warhammer. And have kind of been spurred onto making something else. I'm considering doing some corrupted Sisters figures to complement these. Likely all for one god - probably Nurgle - though Tzeentch could be interesting too (if perhaps in a style which is more common with other manufacturers of similar models, so not so appealing).

Eventually hopefully I'll be making these figures available for sale as some alternative 40K figures (ah, obviously sans any proprietary iconography by GW).

Still part way through a house move, not touched a model paint brush in six months, huge backlog of stuff to paint.

so did the only thing I practically could

I bought some more..

AoS starter set and the smaller starter set on order, General's Handbook (got CA2019 as well) and a few paints

trip to FLGS Wednesday and I'll pick up some more cutters, glue etc which has got to be easier than working out which fecking box I packed them in

Painting 12 CSM Slaanesh Bikers and a Biker Lord, despite Biker Lords being illegal now. *shrugs* Oh well, still going to have a nice model.

Continued painting the two Immolators I am entering for this Month's unofficial Painting Contest. Very slow progress as I get about 5-10 minutes a night.

Painting Mordian Iron Guard squads...I have 30 I'm working on, and another 110 in the white waiting.

More work on the World Eaters CSM squad I'm entering for the monthly painting comp.

Decanted some GW paints into droppers.

More work on my Slaanesh CSM. 7 Havocs, 3 CSM and 2 Obliterators left before I am done with them for the winter and I'll have to work on other undercoated models.

I have had no time to paint. I managed to highlight the red on a mini i'm currently working on and that's it in the last week!

Working on some scouts. Realized I'm actually going to have to get out the flesh tones.

Sculpting details on several miniatures: a chapter serf weapon team and vox caster for the Fire Hawks, some unification era techno barbarians for fun, and a rogue psyker for Ing28. Later, when the GS needs to dry, I will paint some plastic praetorians.

Tonight, I have resolved to try airbrushing for the very first time. Probably just a bit of priming. I'm pretty nervous, but excited all the same.

Wish me luck!

Good luck What kind of airbrush do you have? I should really get one...

Continued painting the two Immolators I am entering for this Month's unofficial Painting Contest. I just realized I have 30+ sub-assemblies with all the magnetized parts between the two tanks.

I purchased an Iwata HP-CS, though I have yet to even remove it from the box. I fear the second I begin spraying I'll instantaneously cover the room in a cloud of paint. Haha.

Even if I just do some spray testing on scrap pieces tonight, I'll consider it a win for having begun the process at least.

Started working on some Sister's of Battle vehicle banners.

Sorting out which of my 15mm is staying at my father's house for the next few years.

Continued to work on Sister's of Battle Immolator extras.

recovering from Yesterday, Yesterday was more interesting with game related stuff. so about Yesterday, because today was dull..

Played a game of Chain of Command, only my second game so far, my Imperial Japanese Army taking on the might of the Soviet Union. got my opponent down to 2 morale points, there was then a bit of edgy moving around as we both tried to avoid casualties while getting a good position

in the end, Soviets charged, and got me down to 2 morale also, but managed to nail the swines shortly after.

I do love this game, easy to play for anyone with a decent bolt action army, by decent I mean not "min/max" to oblivion and actually having a decent number of infantry.

Great fun though

A bit of 1-1 scale wargaming aka airsoft but sadly nothing miniature related. Hopefully over Xmas there will be some free time to pull some Star Wars legion out of storage.
Other than that I have been planning and making purchase lists for lotr sbg.

About to play the second mission of our Christmas campaing with my brother, searching and rescuing a chaos lord who drank like a fish. Couldn't resist the call of hot wine.

Assembling the extra bikers I got from Warhammer Conquest as Deathwatch Bikers. 11 of them now ready to ride to the undercoating table.

Continued to work on Sister's of Battle Immolators for the Unofficial Painting Challenge.

Nursing a sore head after staying up too late building a vintage wolf chariot with a crew botched out of whatever spare goblins I had lying around. Chariot is looking passable and once the boy's skeleton chariot arrives in the post it'll be time for a little festive chariot race!

Gap filling on these bozos.

Finished the casting of a Nid Warrior's lower body. It has faults but decent enough to make a forth model from the Warrior kit.
