Painting old Necromunda tower, as I found twenty minutes free last night.

Cheers,

The 1st box of my LI Baneblades arrived this afternoon.
So building Baneblades.

Today is painting my plague marines from my Death Guard... that I have had for six years... overdue for sure!

Made a bit more progress on my Asurmen proxy mini and a pretty big step on my "Attelus and Adelana from Secret War attacking Cultists" (working title, lol) Diorama. A step it took me ages to work up the courage to begin.

Another Archon tent converted.

Painted box of allies for blood angels.

More painting old Necromunda tower.

Cheers,

Very cold & very windy here today.

So a good day to hunker down, watch stuff on various streaming sites, and build more Legion Imperiales.
And another Brutalis Dreadnought.

Assembled seven of the twenty minis of the Crew Starforge box for vigilante enemies for my next Five Parsecs from Home Encounter. I also applied a lot of Milliput on the top of their bases to give the illusion of not being so much shorter than Attelus and his fellow crew members.

I then did a bit more work on the Asurmen proxy. He's looking quite nice now. I would like to freehand this symbol on his flag.





But don't know I can be bothered or have the skill. Especially when trying to replicate it on each side, but I would like to do the awesome mini justice, so maybe?

I made more progress on my Asurmen proxy; I even began to freehand the flag but only the blue rectangle. I also began painting my Maugan Ra proxy and primed the enemy Stargrave minis for my next Five Parsecs Encounter.

Nice Adrassil.

I am now adding some cables and garbage to the old Necromunda tower.

Cheers,

CB

Finished the old Necromunda tower.

Spent the evening building some more Legion Imperialis stuff.

Thanks, dude. I'm ashamed to admit I still haven't got up the courage to take the plunge and start trying to freehand that symbol yet. Awesome building, BTW.

Anyway, yesterday, I began painting the Stargrave minis, three of the seven. Most of them are helmetless, so using them to practice painting skin before working on minis I actually care about. Painting skin, especially pale skin, is a skill I just can't seem to be consistent with. I also practically finished my Maugan Ra proxy, which didn't take long at all, just some dry brushing, etc.

Today, I didn't do much due to feeling unwell and fatigued to hell and back, but I eventually made myself finish base painting the four remaining Stargrave minis, everything except for their skin, with the exception of one. Hoping to finish them tomorrow.

Thanks Adrassil.

Started another tower, this one the square. Have to cut plastic card now.

Cheers,

Today, I finished painting my Stargrave minis for enemies for my next Five Parsecs Encounter, which I played through it was the most hard-fought so far. Now, a civil war has begun on the world, or maybe, I'm thinking of re-rolling that with a story point.

Continued on the new tower, it will use 12 bulkheads.

Cheers,

Assembling a GK Nemisis Dreadknight.
Because why not?

I've NO idea how/why/when this came into my collection.
I don't play GK. Never have.
I don't recall ever having an idea for a conversion/kitbash involving a NDK....
I've never considered it to be just a "cool model" to have.
I have no recollection of ever buying or trading for this kit. Or receiving it as a gift.
The date on the (then) local shops price tag puts is marked 2010.

Is it possible for ones pile-of-shame to reach critical mass & begin self replicating??

Did a couple of things today. A bit more work on my Maugan Ra proxy. Basing him, anyway. He's my favourite edgy boy I have in my collection so far, much cooler than my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle looking knife guy in my Corsairs. I also worked up the courage to start freehanding one side of my Asurmen flag using that painted version I shared a while ago as a reference. Too bad I frigged up and accidentally did it in reverse. Oh well it,'ll make it a bit different, I guess. Note: I've done another layer of yellow since I took these photos.









He's a really nice mini; I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. With him and Maugan Ra done, that'll be all the official Phoenix Lords done! I made rules for them for Grimdark Future, so one day, I might be able to play with them. Emphasis on might, lol. Here's the link to the list if anyone is interested.

It's looking good!

Thanks, ccs! Your reply made me start trying to paint the character on the flag, but I frigged it up and now have to try again. But at least I tried!

Started a Farstalker today. Sketching out the pattern on the cape.


S'more.
It felt too busy having more of the cream down at the bottom with upwards jags...so I obliterated it with a black rectangle, and will be adding the cream onto that as hexes or diamonds.

I assembled my four remaining Death Korps of Krieg Kill Team from my Octarius box as I made a new Grimdark Future 2,000-point Inquisition list with them in it, and it took me way too long to do it. Each mini had too many individual parts, and for a newish kit, it had a lot of mould lines, and they were even more distinct than my old Dark Angels veteran kit. Nice looking models but damn GW.

Also primed them and a few other minis and did other odds and ends. Didn't try to freehand my Asurmen's flag. Might try tomorrow. I'd almost finished Maugan Rah, so I'm on the cusp of completing all my Phoenix Lords, so I may as well keep trying.

Began painting those Death Korps minis and worked more on a couple of Station Forge Grim Guard crew minis that came with my tanks and APC. It'll be another team the kids can choose to play for Grimdark Future: Firefight on Wednesday gaming night.

Simultaneously working on 3 Wave Serpents & 2 Drukari Razorwing fighters - base coating and assembly.

I finished my Death Korps Kill Team, and the tank crew just got to base them. Quite happy with how they look, but I've got to go back and re-highlight the six I did earlier, as I used a much brighter blue on the four new ones, so they don't mix well. Also did a little more painting of my Maugan Ra mini.

Based on my Storm Forge Grimguard, as well as re-highlighted the old ones to be in line with the new four. Now the force is finished, which is pretty cool! I wonder if I'll ever get to play it :(

Going to make progress on my second trashbuilt mechanicus barge. We've got no oil, but we've got idea, as an old french ad claimed.

Painted up The Fungivorous Herd for Turnip28
