Built my second Exorcist - considerably quicker than the first one. One more to do tomorrow evening and I'll be done assembly for the next 3 weeks at least and back to painting.

Wrapped up another 12 sisters to pre-gold stage. Still need to do 24 before getting to arco flagelants and cherub's. Was planning to do another 12 tomorrow as I took day off from work but as GW didn't put canoness and imagifier up for preorder next week I can't get my army even bought let alone painted for tournament so time limit went away...so I'll go back to AOS(need to get 25 wounds painted by friday for escalation league escalation points) and LOTR dwarves(tournament coming up next month) which have deadlines and I have all the models I need to paint anyway.

As someone that attempted minor conversion on a lord discordant. The AC/ flamer holding tentacle idea, that person needs a slap, not just talking too but an actual slap.......

And then once we're done there, we can go find the person who designed the Helbrute kit and beat them until candy comes out.

And then we move onto the sadistic feth who designed the Havoc kit...


I gave up after 4 Chainreaper guys. The rest of my Havocs tomorrow can be my existing Chaos heavy weapon Marines. Didn't get to build my Tyrannnocytes either, so I just built all the Spore Mines and will use Biovores tomorrow and LOTS of Sporemines.

Frankly, the reaper, especially the ammo, is absolutely idiotic....

But even funier, the HB has no issues with it's ammo, the AC works perfectly fine, the ML is top notch, the Lascannons aswell. But the reaper ammo belt +backpack combo is just mindbogling.

May I humbly request the designer of the Spirt Host kit is added to this list

request granted.



on another sidenote, finished 14 traitor guardsmen, quite happy about them, now working on the next bits for BSF, more motivated now that i know i will get propper rules support accordingly to gw.

Finished these for aos escalation league to get painting points. Had started to paint first models before read league rule so didn't have before photos 53 wounds painted with 25 needed for full points and no good...

Also started bases for 20 arco flagelants, 2 mortifiers and put sand to 20 more crypt ghouls and endless spell to wait next month to paint.

Next to lotr dwarves

Putting paint on small tanks, and started building some matching terrain.

Washing a ton of terrain

Worked on terrain. Scratch building a power station.

Received and painted three more Dwarven Forge kits, ready for some use on Wednesday.

(finger guns and pew pew pew noises)

Attempting to sell my old youth ork army. I have no idea what is what anymore

Working on painting BSF mini's. Blocking in the base colours on the 3 beastmen I have yet to paint.

Painting blacks/ metallics on my scouts and possibly skin and hair, shaded them yesterday

Laying the last few touches on two small tanks, and building more terrain. Priming forecast is looking pretty bleak, so I might as well keep it up.

Working on painting some traitor guard from BSF after finishing my beastmen yesterday.

Honestly, the traitor guardsmen are a blast to paint imo.

Not quite as charachteristic as the old vraks renegades, but they come damn close.

Going to force myself to finish these horses. I don't know what it is about them, but I'm having trouble motivating myself to finish the buggers.

Yeah they really are a pleasure to work on. I did 3 of the spindle drones in about 10 minutes as well purely with a dry brush, quite a productive day.

Assembled JAIN Zar. A bit fiddle!

Getting over being sick, I've finished painting some quick-bash weapon racks.

Finished(-ish) some terrain and started painting the last piece I've got built.

Worked on terrain. Scratch building a power station, which is now starting to look like something other than a water filter.

I am working on finding a paint scheme i haven't tried before.

Sisters of battle, sisters of battle, more sisters of battle

Worked on terrain, but changed for my Painting Contest entry. Now building a custom Necromunda piece.

Finished these guys! Unit of Tzaangor Enlightened on foot, made from Silver Tower Tzaangors since 6 are completely useless for anything except that game.

Practicing with weathering pigments for the first time:

Maybe tad too much? Looks like been swimming in mudpool!

Particularly would reduce head and upper torso amount and increase on legs. One would presume legs are where he would get most dirty.

Today I expect I'll be working on my Whirlwind. Got a nice example of the old 2E era "Mars-pattern" one from ebay in excellent condition. The previous owner had even done little things like replaced the fragile exhaust stacks with metal rod and the moulded-on side grilles with actual mesh.

To my annoyance, I broke the "yoke" piece holding the missile racks when I was disassembling everything for my usual prep routine for preassembled and painted stuff, and have had to spend a good long while making a new mounting system that can take the weight - not inconsiderable - of the pieces and align them properly with each other. The end result won't quite be codex compliant, so I guess I've just created the Mars-Pattern v. 0.6.

I definitely overdid it on this guy

But at the same time, I felt like it fit with the aesthetic of the Marines Malevolent to be so filthy. Hes too busy killing gak to bother wiping the mud off his helmet.
