With little else to do during a lockdown I thought I'd give the Guard a little muster.



That's now 566 painted Praetorians in there along with Mordians, Ventrillian Nobles and 55 of Wargames Atlantic Les Grognards (ie not-Vostroyans)

Very nice. . . I've largely abandoned a guard army that would've likely gotten to around that size, maybe some day I'll go back to GW stuff and finish it out

What are those round things at the back right of the table?

Vermnyn tunnellers from Mantic I think.

M.

Finished this scratch build for pulp alley.

I've gone back to working on my Lumineth for a bit. I want to get some colors blocked in before I get cold feet working on them some more.

Been working on the Thousand Sons and Daemons a fair bit. So exhilarating to be working on something other than Marines.

Miguelsan has it.


I was after a slightly different take on an Armoured Fist platoon around the time Mantic were doing their Warpath Kickstarter, and the Veermyn Tunnelers fitted the bill.

Those Praetorians are painted in a WWI Western Front British inspired scheme.

Working on my kitbashed Vanguard Vets.

Slowly painting up a demi-squad (combat squad?) of Assault Intercessors in classic Blood Angel style after seeing Duncan's tutorial on it. I've never quite liked painting red, especially using the bright red used in this scheme, but thankfully a wet palette is a great tool for this sort of thing.

Then I found out that Blood Angel assault Marines wear yellow helmets. I hate painting yellow more than red, ugh.

Nice work privateer4hire, Saturmorn Carvilli, Valkyrie, alphaecho, and RaptorusRex.

I did some painting of two scratch-built Necromunda pieces.

Cheers,

Thank you.

To be fair, that IG army has been on the go for 22 years!

I am attempting to make an alien dog

Backorder of Mortal Realm magazines came in and I complete assembly of the plastic Mausoleum terrain. I'll probably base the lot onto larger bases later so I can add remnants of a cobblestone path, extra gravestones, tree stumps and overgrowth around them.

Today I will be clearing out a room so I can set up a painting table. With time I hope the room will become the hobby room. At the moment its just where everybody throws their unwanted stuff.

If I get some time then look into a bit more painting.

Good on you. I think having a dedicated spot to paint is probably the #1 thing to prevent inertia from setting in during natural lulls in excitement with the painting side.

Started on my Necron army this weekend. I just had to work on them as my mind has just about every detail on how I want to get them done planned out. Plus, they are so easy to cover so much ground with. I still have another 20 Warriors to round out my steel-tide Necron army, but I think this was pretty good work for a weekend. I am going with a Mephrit inspired paint scheme. I find the default Mephrit scheme for the Warriors way too plain, so I am adding so extra zazz to mine. I was going to also go with white for the rib cage, but that seemed a little much for that many warriors. So I will reserve it for more elite Necrons instead.

Working on scratch-built Necromunda terrain and a couple of old metal Scum.

Building and painting some storage tanks to donate to the local gamestore. They just opened and I'm trying to get them some basic table covering stuff in short order.

Nice base work GrimDork. I recognize the old plastic hair curlers for the cage, but what did you use for the ladder?

Worked on two OOP metal Scum for Necromunda.

Cheers,

Doing some decal application on the MiG-15 I'm currently working on.

Today, I'm continuing washing a ton of resin minis, which always is so much fun. Aside from that, tonight is reserved for some painting and I'll be trying to finish some more of my old Bones minis.

I've almost finished painting my armada ships and i'm dang well going to finish today!

Finishing a thing! imagine that

Primed my two tomato can terrain towers.

Cheers,

Have to finish highlights on the Draugr from the Bleak Falls Barrow set before I can call them done and move on to the last model in the box, the Dragonborn.

SQUATS!

I decided to try Contrast paints across a range of figures from the Pile Of Shame.






I'm quite happy with the results. There may even be some guest star Imperial Fist Primaris added to the Silver Templars in the future.

I have been working on my Necrons. The Warriors still need at least another week of work, but they can look pretty good in a crowd now.

STILL building Necrons....
Illuminor Szeras
9 more Tomb Blades - sooo tedious.
1 Monolith - On this one I can only really assemble a few portions of it prior to painting it. So it could be quite awhile before it ever hits a table.

Planning on doing some work on my Space Marines this evening.

Slowly working on 27 Termagants with Devourer (the recent point drop helped with the motivation).

Been a couple weeks I've been on that unit but going slowly without forcing it ensure that I don't get bored and burned out of painting midway (happened too many times when I was doing Fantasy regiment).
