Finally working on a trio of FW Deimos Predators.

I got these from FW shortly before they were discontinued - & then they were replaced by the new plastic HH kit.
I wish I'd known that was about to happen. I don't really mind dealing with FW resin, but I'd have preferred all plastic.... and I could've saved some $. Oh well.

**Just Tony**

More magnetizing. Also contracting out some movement tray 3D printing so that every army has its own movement trays, despite what my brother intends...

**Adrassil**

I finally felt well enough to do something other than sleep or lie in bed, feeling sorry for myself. I opened my new box of Tenfold Dungeon: Starship Vengeance and frig; it's much more solid and cool than I thought. I then began assembling my Storm Trooper proxies, "Galaxy Guard Elite", and the Marines Ravagers, uhh, more elite Storm Trooper proxies? One has a head sculpted to look like Sly Stallone and I'm impressed how well it was sculpted, so similar. By Loken's Miniatures. They were sent in one big baggie so assemblage is a bit more complicated, so I've been sorting out bits as I go.

Got some more painting done this weekend. Finished up 12 Pestigors instead of doing what I said I was going to do and paint more Dark Elves.

Got inspired so now I'm painting other Nurgle units I have lying around. We shall see how this plays out.

**Captain Brown**

Nice work Commodus Leitdorf.

Worked on five old metal harlequins.

Cheers,

Love it! Preparing for the Old World or playing other version of game or alternate rules?

Myself did some priming today as we had a surprising mild day, gotta make them count before winter! But by doing so I dropped my Custodes Contemptor Dread. Thankfully it broke at the joints and no sign of damage, but still a bummer!

Pondering wether it'd be better to round out my Drukhari with 2 Ravagers or 2 5man Scourge units (with darklances x4).

Either way these units will have the exact same job.
Sit in my deployment zone & darklance things to death at extreme range - while eating up as much space as possible to zone out enemy deepstrikes.

More assemblage of my Storm Trooper proxies by Loken's Miniatures. I then pretty much completed six out of ten of my Death Korps of Krieg Vet Guard to use as antagonists against my Five Parsecs from Home crew in my next encounter. Wanted to base them, but still recovering from my sickness and just too tired. I'm hoping to play the encounter tomorrow.

**Scott**

Inspired by the work I did completing a friend's Ghostkeels, I have begun assembling 4 Armigers I've had in storage.

They should be standing - minus armor - by the end of the weekend, and I may possibly be able to begin priming them.

If priming cannot be done, then back to my Battletech mechs and armored support.

Kind of! I have a pile of Nurgle models I started collecting way back in 2005-6 to make mixed Nurgle Chaos Army. Never actually got around to it and had these guys in a box for the last 17 years (Oh god...I hadn't realized it was that long ago...)

I'm mostly just building and painting what I have because I'm trying to get projects actually done. I'm waiting for more info before I commit to what I'm going to do for the Old World. After all, were still not 100% on all the base sizes.

So for now this is being built for 6th Edition or...you know, whatever I wanna use it for.

Yeah same boat here. Have some units that I could (and would love to) work on, but waiting for base size info before doing anything with them! Some unit I want to rebase (20mm were often too small to my taste and are already hard to rank), others unbuilt that I would put directly on the new size!

**bullisariuscowl**

filling my land raider proteus insides with loads of cut up sprue through the open hatch for the rattly-rattly sound when you pick it up. bliss.

I got FW Deimos Predators #1 & 2 (of 3) partially built (the plastic parts) & fully cleaned up (the resin parts).

Once I get home this evening the resin parts get a hot soapy bath, fitted to the plastic hulls & base coated.

Overall I'm quite pleased with the resin pieces.
Nothing damaged, no pock marks/bubbles I need to fill & only 2 of the side panels are slightly warped (nothing that the hot soapy bath won't fix).
Here's hoping #3 is similar quality or better.

**Adrassil**

Finished my six out of ten Death Korps of Krieg minis that I needed for my next Five Parsecs from Home Encounter. That and a couple more Mantic terrain ruins for the game which I completed today as well. And despite my crew being only made of three instead of six and being outnumbered 2 to 1. They absolutely slaughtered their enemies, making the game a walkover. Not-Attelus Kaltos slew three of the six, two in close combat, which included their lieutenant, which marked him as MVP.

Inventorying a box of vintage (3e & 4e WHFB era) Skaven from the storage unit that surfaced while pulling out Christmas decor yesterday.
I knew they were in there somewhere....

Still no sign of my metal Vermin Lord though. :(

**Adrassil**

I had my crew leave their starting planet in my Five Parsecs from Home campaign. I made the new planet using some of the extra rules in the expansion books (The Freelancer's Handbook and the new book The Fixer's Guidebook), Which has complicated the game considerably, but it seems to add more interesting depth, and I look forward to trying it out. I also set up the next Encounter and painted a couple more minis for it. I also began painting my Inquisition Chimera Station Forge proxy for my eventual Grimdark Future Inquisition army!

**insaniak**

The current WIP queue...

**Shadow Walker**

I had two identical tents from Archon's Elven Woods so I converted one to look differently.

**DarkBlack**

Getting the bases of some "baggage" and limbers I aquired to look at least similar to the armies I got them to go with.

**Adrassil**

Didn't do too much today due to having to go to a nearby town for a check-up for my father. Just painted more of my Station Forge Chimera proxy. Then glued my Storm Trooper proxies onto bases and assembled a few more.

**Adrassil**

Had the kid's TT Skirmish game day today (I didn't have it last week as I was as crook as a dog), And I played with a kid against another two in a 2v2 battle. My side, well, the dice really didn't go our way much at all. In fact, three of my four Elf Clowns (or Harlequins) were dead at the end of the first round. My leader was in Ambush during that time. It was a bit of a shame. I didn't mind getting curb-stomped, but I felt sorry for the kid on my side; it'd have been nice if the game was a little close, for his sake, at least.

I then got home and played my 8th Encounter of Five Parsecs from Home, which, by contrast, was a complete walkover for Attelus Kaltos and his crew. They are now quite elite and were up against some poor backwater vigilantes, so it went exactly how it should've, lol.

**Kanluwen**

Been slowly knocking out an Ogor Warhulk.

**Adrassil**

A lot of assemblage of minis.

**Captain Brown**

Worked on five old metal harlequins.

Color coding the bases of my Wraithguard units.

It'll be a fair bit before the units are fully painted, but in the meantime I still need to be able to tell them apart.
So red bases, blue bases, & yellow bases. Keeps them easily distinguishable when near each other on the table.

**Adrassil**

Was tired, too tired for much hobbying, so I assembled my two boxes of Starship: Vengeance to make my Five Parsecs from Home Crew's Retired Military Patrol ship. It was pretty fun, and might draw a sketch of the ship based on the layout sooner or later.

**Captain Brown**

Continued work on the five old metal Harlequins.

Cheers,

I began painting my Storm Trooper proxy minis today. I've been painting them the Inquisitorial Storm Trooper colours, black and burgundy with silver dry brushing. They're really nice minis to paint, detailed but not too detailed.
