Half an hour away from my Kings of War game with Porkus.

Might be worthwhile asking some people with Mantic collections - every sprue of Orx has some of these small 'orcling' style things, and anyone who has collected an army of Orx probably has a ton of them unused that they will probably have no use for. I've probably got several bases worth just sitting around in my bits box.

This is what they look like..

Nothing today.

Last night I played my Tyranids vs Tau. Was a great game.
Turns 1-4 I was shot to pieces leaving only a Tyrannofex & Tyrgon Prime on the table.
Turn 5 my MCs kill two tanks including making a 12" charge! The Doom comes in and devastates his troops (rolls 17 for Leadership on one Spirit Leech!) .

His troops on the objective just survived to give him a 4-2 win (Warlord + 3pt objective vs First blood & Linebreaker).
Game ended, but really think I could have got that victory if it went another turn.

But hey, it was a blast with lots of carnage. And they are the games I like, when everything dies on both side. And in the end my 'nids did me proud.

Spoiler:

Thanks for the info, Pacific! I'll have to look into that.

Painting Burna Boyz. All day.

I'm a slow painter, and i want to get this sodding unit done!

A Battle report would be great, if you wouldn't mind making a thread on it?

Finishing painting a tyranid kill team, debating setting off my outdated templar and nurgle armies. You know... the usual.

finished building my trollblood war wagon and did some greenstuff gap filling on a few other things that will finally be ready for a coat of primer

I feel you. I am now at 2 completed Orks today, with 15 still to go on my painting table. Urk. Could never stand assembly style painting, so I do them one or two at a time.

I've got 40 Saurus to finish up and attach the shields to, then 30 Skinks, all for a commission. A unit of DW knights tip knock out with Belial & Azreal (when I can't stand to look at another Lizardman for a while), and I've got at least 4 (maybe 8!) mycetic spores to pour and clean for a couple of my fellow Dakka-ites. Oh, and then there's all of my stuff I want to get done too! No rest for the wicked, eh? Lol!

Finally got some more of my guard painted. Only 90 left to go...yay

Same here, only aggravated by nerve damaged hands, and a tremor in my right hand when I get tired.

4 left to go, then on to the next unit :(

I like building them, and playing with them, but painting is a chore...

I promised myself that I can do one of my Cronos engines next. Those I'm looking forward to painting.

Put together Miranda Ashcroft (fiddlyest model I've ever built, for all of its simple construction) and put a bit of paint on my last Nasmat.

Having revised my White Scars list to conform to the new Codex, I am now in the painful process of pulling apart old miniatures to swap wargear, etc.

I will also be airbrushing the interior of my Storm Eagle today and placing an order with GW Direct for more White Scars shoulder pads.

Time permitting, I should also go through my Bones Vampire box and see if anything's missing.

Finishing off painting my tesseract ark. First time I've painted anything with an airbrush.

Just have the driver to assemble and paint and it will be done.

Just finished painting my Riptide. Next one up - the Commander and his retinue.

Staring at some semi painted models in the corner of the room that will probably remain untouched all day.

Finishing painting my devilfish, maybe another fire warrior.
Finishing my 500pt tau list
Rolling up characters for my group's DnD campaign

Today is a massive cleaning day for me, but part of that is organizing the hobby area and getting it squared away. Once finished I will either work on painting my Valkyrie weapons or magnetizing some sentinels

Today I'm looking at my 6mm sci-fi collection (same scale as Epic stuff, but I don't think any of it is GW) and putting together a couple forces to test out the Alpha Strike rules at the next gaming club meeting.

A local store has just gotten into miniatures by stocking the entire Reaper Bones line, so I'm going to go talk to the owner about doing a miniature painting club day at their store once or twice a month. Their primary gaming is Magic and board games and Pathfinder, so I'll probably start some sort of fantasy skirmish gaming there as well.

Heading down to my FLGS to pick up some new goodies and then I'll work on my Imperial Fists legion praetor while I watch some football.

I worked overnight as well, so I might squeeze a nap in some time today too.

Tomorrow I'm going to be doing some more painting considering I've decided not to buy anymore stuff until I have everything else painted.

Also I'm going into town to buy some VGC cobra leather to use as a NMM gold basecoat.

Just got home from spending two days working as security at a local convetion. Must say it was a very, very awesome time, and the crowds where great too. A very nice way to spend the weekend

do some more detail work on a friends Grey Knights Stormraven.
basecoat some terrain parts for the LGS in town.
finish details on a trophy for the LGS in town.
stare at my 40k orks and longingly wish to paint them, then sigh knowing i have projects for others to finish first before i can start on my own.

I assembled a couple grey knight terminators and a nemesis dreadknight while my kid watched a movie.

Finished my burnas.

Finishing Eppy for my Nurgle guys next, then starting a Cronos..

Magnetized a DV Terminator with lightning claw and power fist, converted DV Sergeant to have a helmet... Drilled barrel holes on a storm bolter (tricky!), and shaved DA emblems off of two plasma cannon troopers so as to run them in my Devastator squads. Didn't seem like much at the time, but written down it's surprising how much I got done in that hour...

Beginning to paint some Mimics.

Spent an hour putting together my Maghariba Guard, only to discover Corvus Belli decided to pack two left side exhausts. Complaint code sent.

Then spend half an hour putting the first green highlight on the Nasmat I've been working on.

Spent Saturday reading the new codex... Sunday was spent playing FF14...
