Started making some little terrain bits from xps, probably for use with Rangers of Shadow Deep. Happy with them for first time try.

I've some mdf 40k terrain from last year thats near finished so thinking I should try get them painted and make bases to match my gamemat

Today, I will be painting a little. I recently received a bunch of dogs and bunnies from a Kickstarter and I look forward to getting a few more of them done. Along with generally working my way through my way too big pile of random unpainted minis. The current aim is to get at least 25 done per week, so it's going to be a fun operation!

Snowed in today, so going to try to make some progress on my Bladeguard Vets.

Sculpting, mixing Milliput and Kneadite together to create a base that will set the figure I'm working off nicely, while embedding the support rod holding the figure to the base firmly.

Work continues on 40 grots　and　12 trolls.

I am trying to make a dwarf with tentacle arms.

Painting some old metal Orlock gang figures.

Cheers,

Built the other 3 StD chariots for the summer narrative AoS game I'm planning.

The true purpose of the chariots in this game will be to quickly evacuate loot tokens from the board, not serve as fighting platforms.
With this in mind I magnetized the feet of the 2nd crew member of each. Now they can double as a small unit of foot troops for this scenario or be added back as crew in regular AoS play.

And since I built my chariots using the Rokar Gresh Iron Reaper set x2? I have a spare 6th chariot. This one I'll build pulled by a gorbeast. It can go fight.

Practically finished painting my autarch and I'm liking it, but the paint seems to be bubbling and in some cases chipping, which sucks. But he's a test because I've decided to buy the newer awesome autarch with wings, fusion pistol, power sword and mandiblasters, mostly due to me being unable to stick the replacement plastic arms which are the Dire Avenger Exarch's Dire sword and Shimmer Shield without them constantly falling off. Maybe should have washed it before applying the undercoat.

Also assembled my old metal Striking Scorpions, made the Exarch with...the CLAW and chainsword. But by the Emp...I mean by Khaine it took forever to stick the claw on, but I got there, I got there. Waiting for it to dry properly before I even try to stick on the chainsword.

I have a backlog of units which might allow me to make an army. About three squads of Dire Avengers, at least three old Autarchs, A farseer, three warlocks, six Striking Scorpions, I'm not sure how many Harlequins, maybe nine? And a Troupe Master, they're metal, though, so they'll be fun to stick together, will have to pin them together. Two old school Jet Bikes, two guardian emplacements, and a Wraithlord. So might be able to make the beginnings of an army for proper 40k as well as Killteam, one day.

Oh! And a Vyper, too.

Got some more work done on The Dread Pageant, looking forward to getting some definition on the models as they are in their ugly phase right now.

Got the printer fixed, upgraded, and running. With that out of the way I am jumping between learning some slicer programs, and working on an mdf ruin piece.

More assembly! More Death Company! That’s 15 of the angry buggers to make the backbone of a Vanguard DC detachment.

Today I'm going to work on my desert halflings from Deserts of the Dead. And alongside them a few more of my Warhammer beastmen that seem to be nearly everywhere. I just have to get over my dislike of painting metal.

Ugg was distracted by video games all weekend and didn't get any painting done. Hopefully will finish the dudes on my table before the end of the week and move on to ACTUALLY finishing a project.

I am finally starting work on my old metal Kal Jehico and Scabs.

Cheers,

Assembled my 2nd Eisenhorn model. Took longer than I thought, wanted to undercoat spray him along with a whole heap of other miniatures, but he wouldn't stick so once I finally got him to, I just let him lie and dry. I sprayed my Striking Scorpions, Farseer, two Warlocks and one of my Heavy Weapon Platforms. And as I looked into my model case I found my Hero Forge Miniatures of my Angaran Chronicles main characters Raleas and Anargrin.

Big mistake. Once I'd finished I looked at Anargrin and Raleas and they were covered in...fur? Just jagged bits of crap. I did some research and it turned out its residue from the 3d printing that needed to be washed off before spraying with...a chemical I can't remember the name of. I spent quite a while getting it off by dunking them in water and scraping it off with my modelling knife.

Then base coated my Scorpions with WAAGH! Flesh and began painting one and pretty happy with him so far, just have to remember that while His holiness Duncan says to thin your paints, not to thin them too much lol. Also began painting my weapons platform too.

I'm hoping to have my Wraithlord assembled a 3rd squad of Dire Avengers soon, also have to paint my 2nd Dire Avengers squad to differentiate them from the 1st.

Assembling slaves to darkness. Need blend fixed basing parts on models plus do robes etc still.

I'm searching my bits box for the heads of elves

Prepping a Sanguinary Priest to hopefully undercoat on Monday when this winter storm is meant to dissipate and be replaced by a mild, dry day. Going to be a whole lotta undercoating whenever the weather finally breaks.

Prepping more undead 1/2lings while I wait on the GW shipment containing the rest of my Slaves To Darkness projects kits.

My new table lights are on the way and I can't be happier to get back to building things after a year off. Hopefully those will be in on Monday.

Currently I'm working on my AT titans. The more I work on these Reavers, the more I think magnetizing them is way more trouble than it is worth doing. I have four Reavers, which should allow me to build plenty of different types. I really do not ever see me playing Reavers with double chain fists, or double power fists, or even double melta guns. The Warlord made sense to me, because it magnetizes so easily and Warhounds seem to be better candidates over the Reavers. I've got some terrain too for this game that I'm super excited to get to work on.

I'm also working on getting color on my Necrons and painting me planes for AI. I've got a few non-gw products going too. Some Nolzurs models for D&D and some nice ST models from the Star Trek Adventures game, really looking forward to getting some color on them too. And while I'm thinking about it, I'm really, really excited for those new skellies from the Warhammer AOS game. They look so much better than the weird bone constructs from that other AoS army.

Reaver is only trouble if you insist on cables. If those aren'" worry easy enough

Painted more of my Scorpions today, having fun with them.

Working on a few Malifaux Gremlins and starting on my Infinity Starco army

Just finish my Thousand Sons Rhino

Today, I'll be finishing up my Reaper Bones Pathfinder Goblins. Aside from that, I think I'll be reorganising some things in my hobby space.

That’s really nice, well done!

Finished up whole bunch of models that were on painting table getting completed model count to 140 for this year. 39 more than bought

Whooof, that's a BIG success story. I was ridiculously proud that I got like 24 done last year...

Though I did get 18 done in January.

February so far, I've got 1 finished (picture once basing dries).

Though I'm working on another 10 in various midpoints so far.
