Starting assembly on a Real Grade Gundam. I'm trying to branch out in my plastic crack habit.

And wow, I put together a High Grade Z'gok earlier this week and it was relatively painless, but this a complex model. The feet are like 8 pieces each.

But I'm amazed by the fact that even with a high parts count nothing feel flimsy or too small, it's all really solid. And the casting is amazing compared to most wargaming plastics - there are sprues that contain several different colors of plastic for different parts (and it's cast, with no mixing between the colors), and sprues with moveable parts cast in a way that they're already connected but still moveable.

And it costs less than a primaris ATV.

Primed the remainder of my CSM/Chosen Special/Heavy Weapons. I am also trying to finish up the rest of my Havocs. If I stick to it, I might even have all of my Black Legion infantry painted by the start of the new year.

Now that I've wrapped the last gift in the pile (my friends Red Gobbo)? Absolutely nothing.

About 7 hrs of sleep,
A bit of last minute food prep in the morning,
Load stuff in car as Christmas isn't at my place this year,
And then afternoon+ with family.

My buddy won't receive his Gobbo until Sat/Sunday.

Played a game of BattleTech for the first time in two years. Tons of fun.

Speedy Clan lights/mediums took on 6 ComStar heavy 'Mechs and ran circles around them.

Small filing to the Ugr in my ''never ending quest to find something to correct in my models''

I am currently resisting the urge to open up my Space Marine Heroes Death Guard set that the kids “got me” for Christmas (they’re 0-5 so I got them, my wife wrapped them and the kids handed them to me with a look of “We have no idea what’s going on!” on the their faces). The Matrix is on TV tonight, will start assembling them then with a beer.

Since I'm running out of gold after doing 3 Thousand Sons Characters, I switched to Nids.

Started 5 metal Raveners and an old Screamer Killer for an upcoming game/scenario (we still don't know that'll be), but I'll have those units ready or when we can gather again

Finishing off a rocketpod for my knights. Once I'm done, the army will officially be 100% painted.

Well, just browsing through Dakka these days.
Welcome break during Christmas before four more weeks of courses until the end of January.

Finished painting all the dwarfs that I intend to and took pictures of the lot.

Made my own Akhorne, Blood Bowl squirrel, from a halfling bit. Trimmed the halfling head to make it look like a rock and it came out pretty decent.

I couldn't bring myself to paint any more gold trim on my Chaos Space Marines. So I switched over to trying to finish painting all of my Ork kill team.



I am going to try and get at least a model a day done to finally finish them. I know the Flash Gitz are going to be tough as I really like those models and want them to look nice.

Tonight I will build two more Necron Tomb Blades and a new Necron Heavy Destroyer & convert it to be a Destroyer Lord

Tue night - finish building a Tri-arch Stalker and another Command/Annihilation Barge

Wed night - build my last Doom/Nightscythe & two Ghost Arks.

And that will finish off my building of Necrons - until/unless my last two boxes of Tomb Blades arrive... Hoping they make it here in Dec. so I can end the year with all of my Necrons built, primed, & base coated.

Thur day = prime & base coat all Necrons still in need of such.
Thur. night = non-gaming New Years Eve plans.

Finished my 5 Raveners, and also did a bonus Biovore while I was at it.

Gonna work on my Screamer Killer next, hoping to finish it before new year!

Meet my new Necron Destroyer Lord:
(still need to clean a few mold lines up)

Finished Echo, Fives and 2 ARC Troopers. Other 3 will be done tomorrow, and I'll do bases for all of them and Padme after that

Assembled 40 Necron warriors, which got the Indomitus boxes done. Bit crass to mention it i know, but they gotta be the deal of the decade.

Day turned out quite nice so took the opportunity and primed a load of terrain.

Worked on some scratch built Necromunda terrain.

Cheers,

CB

Finished my (classic) Screamer Killer, and I think that rounds out painting for this year!

Rawr!

Spent most of the day playing Black Crusade with a bunch of friends.

Witnessed a party member bluff his way into an ancient Chaos Temple of Lies by pretending to be someone who had been invited there.

Then that guy showed up, and the man in charge of the temple was convinced with both stories, so decided to let him solve the issue via 1:1 combat. Our party member cut the other Marine to ribbons in seconds, and they accepted him as the other person.

This is after we nearly burned a local hotel down because the same guy slighted another of the party.

We're very good at starting violence for no reason...

Looks awesome (the classic is the best Carnie ever)!

Finished my Dread Maw.

I am working on ships! Boats! The airplanes of the sea!

Progress continues on Archaon's mount

Trying to paint an old Rat man model. I think a grenadier miniatures piece.

Very rusty with the paintbrush and the hand is shaking like mad. Hand and eye do not agree with what's happening, beginning to think they are both opposed to the situation.

These are my first steps back into painting.

Just glad some bright spark invented Dettle.

My cousin got me the JAWS boardgame by Ravensberger for Christmas.
So I'm reading over the rules & playing a solo test game or two this afternoon so I can easily teach it tomorrow.

Not the most in-depth thing on my shelf, not the worst either. At 1st glance/playthrough I'm thinking it's inferior to Horrified (another Ravensberger game we play alot).
It'll get some play though.

Its chief limitation is that its got a hard cap of 4 players. For a group who often has 5 players.

Work been progressing on Archaon

Boredom + Bits Box = Blood Pact

Finally got around to assembling the last 20 of my 120 chainrasps then OCD kicked in and I sorted them by their poses.

Want to get some painting done today.

Found an old metal Dwarf model in with some paints I purchased the other day. Think he will look great with a bright ginger beard.

Also have another batch of secondhand paints to pick up from somebody I know. Most of the paints belong to the current Citadel range and a few Vallejo mixed in for good luck.

Drop some glass beads into my paint pots to help mix the paint. I brought a good sized bag of cheap large glass beads in an attempt to help mix the paint when I shake to pots.
