Nice. Is that a Welsh Corgi? I also like your terminator scheme


No painting/modeling today, but I think I have settled upon the Iron Hands as the chapter my soon-to-be-reworked marines force will emulate. I've got too many vehicles to not want to take them, and the chaptermaster beatstick sounds amusing.

Time to work up some lists.

Puttering with DE lists for an upcoming tournament.

listening to D-rok for a 90's nostalgia kick, and reading Deff Sqwadron.

Yes, my avatar is Magnum, the biggest and dumbest of my five Corgis >:3
He's part Vahlhund, hence why he's on the bigger side and has a thirst for animal murder.

But thanks for the input on the terminators. They're Post-Horus Heresy Soul Drinkers.

I'm painting my dindrenzi today in prep for a tourney this sunday. Doing a similar scheme to my already finished old ships but making the new ones a little different.

Think I'll finish my deathwing squad today/tomorrow

Painted up a few bases and got the flesh base cost on a few archers.

I managed to get a second marauder painted, one of the five commandos going into my strike team. I made some progress on the pair of maw beasts (cyborg lion hounds, no joke!) as well.

I've also come up with a list for my space marines, going to throw it to the wolves, so to speak, and let the 40k army list subforum tear it apart and (hopefully!) help me recover something better from the ashes.

If I get a chance, I plan to put some more effort down on my water/fluid container/storage/tower thing as well.

Figured out an easy way to convert a wyvern into a hydra and back as well as converted my crew so they fit. Pretty happy with how I spent my time avoiding a paper......

And I am still avoiding it. Time to get to work.....ugh

Debating what project to work on next. A) Muck up my Wraithlord so he looks all S&M-y and can stand in for a Talos Pain Engine. B) Wet-sand my Wracks. C) Finish assembling my last Ravager

Ooh do the wraithlord--> Talos for sure.

Finishing up my Order Sargeants then moving on to the Hexa after this.

Went to an FLGS and picked up some reaper "Bones" minis for super cheap, as well as a couple factions of the DnD Dungeon Command "board" game.

Starting to work with, and figure out this flexible plastic that Reaper uses, and its interesting.

Currently in the process of painting this bad little lady. The new company commander for my knightworld guard. B8g props go out to Btldoomhammer who made this awesome sculpt.

I got bored and threw some weathering pigments at an old marine to test them out. it's not a lot but hey, I got something done today


On second thought that pic looks awful. I need to sort out my camera situation.

That marine certainly looks weathered.

I'm continuing to muck up my wraithlord. All the decorative bits are plastic, and he's metal, so I'm pinning the ever-loving s--t out of everything. Spikes and skulls and blades and chains, all the things that good little space drow are made of.

Although the metal shavings are doing nothing for my dyshidrosis.

Today is unpacking, washing and priming day.

I have a few pieces of Zone Mortalis that arrived this week to get made up.

I think that i'll be picking up a Knight and start assembly on it to night.

My "May Day at Nexus Psi" Campaign is not long from kicking off - I've got the available terrain picked out and now all I'm needing is my opponent.




Fun fact, the Imperial Bastion from 40k is exactly the right size for the bunker in the 'Bunker Hill' mission.

A few?

My thoughts exactly. That's quite a haul.

It's two orders of the 2x2 base set.

Already have the first tile washed and primed, more are soaking now.

Finally painted my Kroot hero, Anghkor Prok. That only took, oh, ten years! Poor guy, lol.

Today my friend is coming over with over $600.00 of Ogres new in box, and two of the web-sclusive Ultramarine models. We are going to build all night long, and possibly paint . . .

I'm working on the first of my Warmachine army. I'm not quiting 40k, not at all, but I am expanding into Warmachine. It was this or Infinity, but this little lady stole my heart.

I still have to do the base and what not, but I'm loving Convergence so far.

And I fully approve of this. She looks amazing. (If only GW actually made a few female guard...)

Deciding on how the general command base is supposed to be in my kings of war army and painting some more Ashigaru.

^Sweet!

Hoping to get some work in on my marauders, though I may look into experimenting with base coat colors for my space marines later instead/also.

Thanks mate. Gonna work on mŷ lower ranked guys try to improve my paitning before I start tackling the commanders.

Decided on a marine chapter?

I think I'm going to keep on with the Shadow Knights and just further embrace their their tendency to be technophiles by generally running them as iron hands.

I've been 'just doing whatever' for so long now that its kind of messing me up trying to choose a list that includes things I like but is also at least somewhat viable. Doesn't help that I like dreads and vehicles and those are apparently sub par lately.

Got my 50 man dreamforge conscripts guys started. Going to try and have them complete tonight as well as my wyvern. If I drink enough I might go for a walk and get another one.....or a demolisher kit....have not decided yet.

Just do them anyway. You said you dont play much so better to have a list thats nice to look at all painted up than one thats really effective but never used.

Just finished the bulk of yellow on these bad boys


They are (Or will be) Pikachu inspired space marines complete with pokeballs and ears
