Procrastinating doing useful things in favor of going through the newest 40k updates & re-tallying my current forces.

More work on the Necro towers.

Just polished off my 2nd warhound titan in prep for legio imperalis.

I just had a model published in this month's Airfix mag.

unwrapped my new copy of 40k "The rules", noting its now out of date. meah, still better than the cost of printing it given GW went with dark backgrounds for some pages.

would have paid the same for it as a softback drilled for an A5 binder though

also two more packs of Necromunda floor tiles! woo!

That’s super cool @Valkyrie and looks good! All look good.

Today, I'm watching US football (Go UCF!!! Beat Boise State!!!) and painting up some Kruleboyz. I'm working on getting the Killa Boss on Gnashtoof and 20 troops with skareshields.

It has been a few days since I updated due to being busy with work and some travelling, but I still managed to do some painting on my Karandras proxy and mostly managed to complete him, and I'm quite happy with how he turned out.











He was a joy to paint. The proxy is made by Major Minis on Etsy (which is run by Major Kill; apparently not a big fan of the YT channel, but if it is his company making these proxies, I'm a big fan of them, indeed). Today, I managed to make quite a bit of progress on Jain Zar, now onto highlighting she's finally looking okay with her being only base painted; she looked like she was made of black with tomato sauce and mustard and a McDonald's character but now with highlights and her mane being painted orange she looks much better.

Made more progress on Jain Zair mini. She's now not far from being finished. She's a damned nice mini.

Finished converting another piece of terrain.

Planned to spend all day yesterday finishing some Deathwatch....but got distracted by another idea thats been spinning in my head for a few years. Decided to just do it....well see how it turns out.

Clearing the desk of a few build projects today:
Building another Crisis Suit Commander.
Building another Broadside Suit.
Building a Rendmaster on Blood Throne.
Building another British Automated Carrier for Konflkt 47

As I had to visit a relative in another city, this city being a place with a warhammer store (ayyyyy!!!)..

Ended up buying 250 euros worth of League of Votann because I had to buy something and couldn't buy what I was looking for (Tyranid norn emissary) so yeah, started a new army eheheheh...

Feel free to pity my wallet.

Only basing remains for me to finally have finished my 30k milita army.

Only the bases.

I been looking at minis to paint since very sick, thinking about future projects.

Probably more Marvel!

Had the Wednesday TT Skirmish game day with the kids today, and while I didn't get to play, I had a lot of fun, even if getting the kids to pay attention felt like herding cats sometimes Or Orks . It was 300pts of Grimdark Future: Firefight. Here are a few photos of the battle. It was Inquisition led by Attelus Kaltos and Karmen Kons (with Marcel Torris and Adelana Helgen all from Secret War) and Eldar led by Farseer Faleaseen, also from Secret War vs. Chaos Cultists and Infected Colonies.



















After that, I did a bit more work on Jain Zar and she's so close to being finished it isn't funny. I also did an experiment on a new way of painting gems with my Major Minis Solitaire mini he has two big gems on his scenic base and it worked out well, especially after applying a layer of gloss varnish.

Very cool Valkyrie.

Continued working on my next refresh of the classic Necromunda terrain.

Thanks to the recent pts drop, ive got some space to fill in my Tau force.
So a perfect excuse to add a pair of new models to the collection....

Tonight: Finished building a Tau Enforcer suit Commander.
Next up: a Sunshark Bomber.

With the arrival of the new editions of Grimdark Future and Grimdark Future: Firefight (3.0). I've been updating my lists to coincide with all the points changes, equipment options, etc. Psychic powers have been changed drastically, and I think I've wrapped my head around the new system. I didn't mind the old one. It was simple and easy to understand, although it seemed a bit too rare for psychic powers to work, even the lower-level ones. I also got our old printer working, which prints double-sided without turning the pages over, which my dumb self can't wrap my head around. We thought our new, expensive, fancy inkjet printer would allow for native double-sided printing, but nooo. I used it to print out the sheets for the newly edited teams and the Grimdark Future: Firefight advanced rule book for 3.0, so now we have an easy reference for the game rules. Finally!

Painted an old push-fit ork boy I've had for years (and I have no idea how I got it) to fight alongside my Kommandoes in Grimdark Future: Firefight. Quite happy with how he turned out and began basing Jain Zar.

Adrassil can I ask is it much of a change to the rule format itself generally? I saw that V3 has been released but haven't yet looked, as I've not long got into the game!

Today in the hobby I have been: Putting final steps to a unit of ASOIAF Lannister guard, and painting some Epic Eldar Falcons and Guardians (courtesy of Vanguard Miniatures)

Yeah, all goods, Pacific. Nah, the game is pretty much the same in its fundamentals. It's mostly a whole lot of changes to things like cover (which now adds +1 to defence instead of -1 to the shooter's attack) and a whole lot of special rules such as Furious, which now doubles the attack for the attacker when they charge on a 6 instead of them just getting +1 to their attacks when charging. That and my earlier mentioned change to psychic/magic powers.

Also, now there's a 3.1, which seems to have been to clarify things with the rules, etc.

I finished both my Jain Zar and Ork Boy today. Now, I've taken the plunge and begun painting my Chaos Terminator Lord and Daemon Prince, despite how much I didn't enjoy painting my Chaos Marines. I began with painting their gold trims, and while the Terminator took as much time as I thought, the Daemon Prince was much quicker; he might've been much bigger but had a lot less trim. So, with the hard part passed, the rest won't be a breeze, but it'll be less annoying lol

I LOVE the old carstock GW terrain. I have PDFs of them all and between me and my cuz we own all but 1.

I wish they would reprint them.

Mostly managed to finish my Chaos Terminator Lord and Daemon Prince. A couple of good steps towards having a finished 2,000 point list of "Havoc Brothers" for a friend to play Grimdark Future against me one day.

Finished my Daemon Prince and Terminator Chaos Lord today. I'm very happy with how he turned out.







I also thought I'd post some photos of my Jain Zar, as I'm quite happy with her as well!













I'm especially happy with how her power blades turned out, it seems my simple technique I made up for power blades has come to fruition!

I had planned on painting a bunch of other stuff this weekend...but instead I was distracted by this:




My FLGS still has a bunch of the Space Marine Heroes and, on a whim, bought one. Fun to paint....but now I have a Furioso Dreadnought on my desk too so my plan on getting a single project done keeps getting distracted.

My Deathwatch will have to wait it seems....

Painting tyranids and 1st mech.

Worked on the Necromunda tower some more.

Cheers,

CB

Today I'm finally getting around to building (and base coating) the Dark Elf/Skaven Dundeon Bowl team.

That’s super coool!

Almost finished my Dark Angel Company Vet mini and re-based the Karmen Kons, Marcel Torris and Saderth Darrance minis from Secret War. I'm planning on maybe one day running a campaign of Grimdark Future and GF Firefight based on a wartorn world of Inquisition and allies vs Chaos Space Marines and their Cultist hordes and whatever other faction that wishes to take part. My diorama is also a part of that story. A snap shot, per say.
