Been putting together some regular old Scourges. No conversions, no craziness, not even head/arm swaps.

I'm locking myself in this weekend, and finally getting a start on a Roman army. My plan is to put together a 100 man century authentic to the best misinformation that Wikipedia and Hollywood have to offer, with some Cavalry, Archer auxiliaries, and Ballista, and dividable into reasonable units for gaming, all with adjustable basing for different unit formations.

Then I'm gonna build em a fort out of toothpicks.

Would love to see this once you have made some progress.

Me too! Have a massive pile of Romans myself that I have barely started, obviously I need to have a lock-in too!

Just finished the first stag elf decoration on 80 25mm bases.
Last night I filled any holes (slots, rips from mr tearing all of my models off of them) and hen today I put bits of sprue and rubble and stuff on them. Next week I will tr. And go to GW to get sand for the next step.

Building some bikers as allies for my IG. normal ones done, just need to get some grav-guns, and scrounge some bits for my chapter master conversion.

I'm gonna see what people say once they have 7th ed, then I'll order the digital version if I get anything. I'm sure it will be some kind of playable, just got to see if those semi-local gamers will continue to play it unhindered.

I plan to check it out as well since the Kill Team rules from Heralds of Ruin need it, but other than that, I honestly could not really care since I have found other games to take up my time after I dropped mid-6th edition.


Also, I am out on a anime con today, so nothing really hobbying related, but I plan to share a bit of my cosplay on my blog after the event.

Today beeing the National day of Norway I painted up a cavalry squash in the Norwegian colours, and will add them to my Pike and shot army

Cool...I'll post some pics to the Painting and Modeling board and link here when its somewhat presentable.

Cursing my airbrush

Making a cockpit for my Imperial Knight

That looks sweet... Are you going to make the top removable so that you can display the finished product?

Yep - the top plate is a single piece and fits snugly on its pegs but is still easy to remove.

Finished my scourges. They look so much nicer than the fairy ones...

Now I'm working on a second squad of Trueborn. This will be my first foray into magnets, since I'm going to magnetize the ends of their Dark Lance barrels to come off, so I can field them as either Dark Lances or Blasters as the mood strikes me.

Hmm that sounds like a pretty neat idea, you'll have to put up a link if you take any photos.

Will do. Just finished assembling them now. I need to let the plastic glue set completely before I start trying to slice the Dark Lances apart.

Built up an Alpha Legionnaire in power armor today. That makes six so far!

Finally finished picking events for Gencon, at least those events which I definitely want to get into. Hopefully my years of eBay sniping will help me quickdraw the really limited ticket events.

Now, off to feel bad about not getting anything painted today.

Painted my first test mini for Rivet Wars last night (he turned out awesome).

Then tonight I painted half of a Freebooter Cult mini. (El Fusililo).

Today is the inaugral meeting of the Aberdeen Xwing league. To say I'm more excited than a kid en route to disneyland is an understatement!

Playing a little Pathfinder.

Warmachine tonight.

Finishing another fething gorkamorka era bikerboy.

Then painting my woldwarden..

I've spent most of this weekend messing about with my X-Wing collection trying to get organised for a huge Epic game on Tuesday.

I'm still a little unsure of my lists, however

This is what I'm currently going with...

Today I'm working on ironing the kinks out of my Space Greek list.

It would be tremendously easier if I could just take two Grav Guns in a Tactical squad. I don't really want to spend the points for Sternguard, despite how effective they might be for the overall army list, because I'd much rather have three scoring units.

And no, I don't want to just wait for 7th Edition to actually come out. I'd like to work on it now because reasons.

Finished a plasma gunner for my IG, now to just paint up the rest of his squad and thats 20 fully converted guardsmen!

Weekly painting session is tomorrow so will be painting my FoW light mortar, PIAT, command team and a couple more BFG ships.

Looking for a lozenge for my burning throat after scrubbing ten Rogue Trader harlequins free of paint in an unventilated basement. Ugh. Now I have to figure out a way to convert a crapload of Harlequin's Kisses.

Finished my Deathwing squad.



Think it's the Night Scythe next...

Nice! Good job on the bone color.

Trying to decide if I should work on magnetizing my Trueborn, or modeling new greenstuff ghost helms onto my wracks.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Decided to magnetize the Trueborn. Now done. Yaaaay!

I'll try and get some pics this week.

Well tonight I pack up the remainder of the hobby stuff to be moved to my new place.

Then I have to answer an important question:

Is 40k still worth playing. I can't afford to bump up to a new edition, nor buying codices for my 2 armies (IG and SM). I will keep my Black Templars, but my IG may soon be getting culled.... I need the money for a ring anyways.

More work on the Gargant!
