I undercoated one (1) model today and managed to shatter the bolt pistol barrel on my Lemartes. Boo!

Working on some old school ghost for Fantasy out of nostalgia (I do not play anymore, even less so on an old edition where infantry ghost is a thing!). Being part of many old school gaming groups on FB take it's toll on the nostalgia and made me buy a few models and work on old school units here and there

I stripped 2 models (some need more time and more scrubbing), cleaned them and pinned them to their base, then did a batch of greenstuff for the 8 (out of 10) models ready to help solidify them some more.

Pretty much finished my Striking Scorpions, pretty happy with them.

15 Death Company undercoated and I’m now out of black spray. Who knows when I’ll see any again...

Base coated 35 civilians/villagers for my AoS summer scenario.

Starting to highlight Foetid Bloat Drone. Then I I will continue with Indomitus Necrons (Warriors ready). After these are done I can allow myself to buy new stuff

After much searching around the internet and contacting people I found some Chaos Black on Happy Go Lucky in Clonakiltys website, might be worth a shot if you'd use that

Began assembling my 3rd Dire Avengers squad this one led by an Exarch with a shruiken pistol and Dire Sword as well as a Eldar jet bike which is one of the super old school ones. Was missing an arm so replaced it with another now it looks comical to say the least but whatever works lol. Also, began my kit bashed Space Marine champion properly. He's like kneeling with his shield over his head in defence of some in coming blow and his sword out too. I'm using one of the helmetless heads I got from my cousin from the Ravenwing box the one with hair. I'm pretty happy with him so far.

A slightly belated picture of the weekends work.



Almost the entire model was painted with Scale75's instant colour range, their equivalents to GW contrasts.

Though there were a few exceptions:
GW Mordant Earth base
Shirt (GW Wraithbone + Apothecary White)
Hair (GW Grey Seer + Apothecary White)
Belt, buckle & buttons


For some reason the Scale75 instants don't really have a white. The other parts were just a little too intricate for the wash-like nature of the paint. Or at least, my hand using them.

I've got a bunch of other models in progress too, but I haven't really figured out what I'm going to do about the white masks they're wearing...

I'm currently enjoying expanding my not-Vostroyan contingent following the arrival of three boxes of Wargames Atlantic's Les Grognards Command and Heavy Weapons models.

Nice one, I wouldn't have found that at all.

Here is my champion.

Uhh, went into town today and found my Autarch had arrived at my local GW, just assembled him and based my champion conversion thingy. Hoping to spray my Autarch tomorrow, before I go to GW and play a game of Kill Team against my cousin who's playing Death Guard, wish me luck. I'm hoping my list will allow me to overcome the toughness :/

I’ve had a unit of 16 Poxwalkers on the go for a few months now and going to try and get them over the line this week. Finished the first three today:

Hopefully base coating another 20some AoS/D&D villagers.

Did a few things today, sprayed my Autarch, 2nd Eisenhorn, my jetbike and a couple of other miniatures.

Played my 2nd game of Kill Team against my cousin. He was lucky right from the get-go as he rolled for the mission and got the kill commander one when he had a nigh unkillable Death Guard commander when I had a far more squishy Autarch. It ended with the Autarch and Death Guard leader duking it out mono e mono and despite me using the tactic that allows re-rolling missed attacks and failed wounding rolls against an enemy commander and my Autarch having five attacks, a fusion pistol and mandiblasters and and the Death Guard leader's strength neither did the other one any damage. I just kept saving my invulnerable saves. Would've been a damn epic fight for the other warriors to watch, almost tempted to write a short story about it lol. So the game ended in a draw.

Just began painting my old metal Farseer, pretty happy with him so far, a bit more practise before beginning my new Autarch using the lessons I've learned so far.

Finally got some paint on a metal Kal Jerico and Scabbs.

Cheers,

CB

Currently assembling my new FW Beakies and one Mk IV legion Apotechary (which is sadly sold out now; a lovely sculpt!)

I need to find a stronger bonding alternative to standard blutac. These prebuilds are barely holding together.. Any suggestions welcome! I always prebuild my minis with blutac and agonize over posing the models for months, taking reference pics etc.. And usually in that time period the poses start drooping hehe

Organizing small aos tournament. Alas can't play myself(unless somebody does last minute cancellation) as there's even number of players and i have strict "no bye rounds" policy in my tournaments but have box of varanguard to assemble in the meantime

Began painting my new Autarch properly I'm very happy with him so far, but I'm beginning to realise my colour scheme is looking a bit Dark Eldary using Caliban Green as base, with Warpstone Glow and Dark Angels Green contrast and Biel Tan Green Shade. Besides the white and blue parts. I think I need a blue shade and/or contrast paints. Also, almost finished my farseer and my older Autarch a bit of Nuln Oil on the white surfaces makes a huge difference.

Just opened two gangs for Dracula's America. Deciding wether to put them on GW bases or thin Renedra bases.

I painted a small cat blue.

Trying to get motivated to do something today....
1) Shower/shave & head down to the local shop for our fading 40k Crusade?
or
2) decide between cooking/ordering pizza for dinner, stay home, watch Netflix & prep another 60-80 undead 1/2lings?

Just been building the struts for plasticard tracks for my skorpius conversion. Bought some wheels to add tomorrow.

Tournament done so back to painting. Finished 5 chaos knights and chaos lord putting month total to 67. Next chaos charriot crews. 12 of those.

Which ones did you get? Just asking because I like villagers way too much to be healthy.

Bought a blue shade and a blue contrast paint for the dark parts and mid gradient respectively which I applied to my old Autarch and Farseer's blue bits, making them look a lot better (The new paints make painting so much easier back when I was last painting like more than ten years ago) Started painting my two metal Warlocks (I have three but lost the sword of one somewhere down through the years) and my old school Jet Biker.

I'm glad I began playing Kill Team as it's helped me get a couple of ideas for my own TT Skirmish gaming system.

Finished cleaning up the Ghosts models for my oldhammer unit (that I do not play) and flocked them. They are ready to prime and paint and hope to do that soon as I'm itching to paint them up!

In the meantime, I'm working on a squad of 5 Rubric Marines from the old range of Chaos Marines with upgrades parts (had a few squads donated to me) as I started them but never went far as other project got in the way. Plus they look way easier to paint than the normal models so that's a plus

Closer...
