Slowly painting:

30 Skinks
2 Salamanders w/ 4 Handlers each
1 Ancient Stegadon w/ Skink Priest
15 Saurus Warriors
10 Temple Guard
1 Slann Mage-Priest
1 Skink Priest

So yeah I am about halfway done painting my 2K point army of Lizardmen. =)

With a bit of luck, getting some pics up in my swap-thread.

Been crazy busy at work this week, and time is at a premium.

Maybe reading some fluff stuff tonight too

went and played a few 1250 point 40k games after work!

Converting my Praetorian Badger Lancers.

So far, so good.

Building Bolt Action US troops and priming the group I built yesterday. Be glad to have this painting behind me.

Yesterdays progress



Unfortunately no hhhobby time today

I reorganised the man cave, and packed away everything apart from the models I want to finish this year, and their factions. Feels a lot less daunting now.

Selling stuff, packing stuff, mailing stuff...

Refinished a second Grey Hunter squad with freehand and touch-ups. Next up is PA Wolf Guard or Wolf Scouts. By the time they're done, the Dread should hopefully have arrived.

Waiting on ebay stuff in the mail.

I need to get cracking on my diorama, only 10 days left and a few of them I'll be at Gencon. I need to reorganize my hobby room too, need to reduce the space i'm using so I can work in a seating area and ''work table'' for my daughter so she can play with play-dough, blocks, little people, pilfered models, and the like... while I get some hobbying done .

Spent most of the day doing non-hobby stuff, then noticed there was no wind. Time to spray seal! Got all of my painted Infinity models dullcoted and bases finished with deserty tufts, and also finished off my first Malifaux model. A Terror Tot. I wanted to try GW's 'Blood for the Blood God' paint, and it was absolutely wonderful. I'll be sure I keep that one in my range.

Sitting here waiting for the oilwash to dry before cleanup... I have only done one mini first to try it out proper as soon as I see how the cleanup goes I will was the other four in the squad. So literally watching paint dryg

Assembling a ton of Circle models, and figuring out where all the bits go.

Kind of like a 3d jigsaw puzzle

Well actually, I'm setting up a "man room" upstairs finally, that's always nice, I can stop picking up my hobby mess from the kitchen table. Although I'm going to miss those giant kitchen windows.

Still plugging away at Blood Angel stuff, finishing up my Stormraven.

I have two more drop pods to finish up, oh well three, I have a Forge World dreadnaught drop pod that I'm attempting to magnetize. First time at this, I'm going to have to put in more, I thought 3 magnets woudl do it, one on each side of the doors, with about 1/4" of a paperclip drilled and glued into the hatch, that didn't work.

off to buy the new PHB....cant wait!

My badger lancers so far.

Got grenades, pouches, canteens, greenstuff to finish them off. And those darn mold lines

Gotta make a banner bearer, 2 special gunners and finish of the librarian who will accompany them.

Hopefully reading counts for hobbywise.

Finished off "Fist of Demetrius" from the Macharius Crusade Trilogy, and am a good ways into "Unremembered Empire".

I'm the opposite, I like the pressure of all the kits out, plus I can switch it out if I need a break from something. Packing things up and keeping out what you're going to get done is an excellent way to go, more of a realist. Funny thing is, when I go to the 40K closet of endless things, I drag loads out because I go in there for something upon opening the closet I see something that sparks an idea then I end up dragging out 4 trips worth of things to the kitchen... The wiff gets home, and I get scolded.

Working on the man roomcave today when I get up from my after work nap. So excited!! I do need a desk though. I did see these smallish plastic tables at Target that have the metal folding legs, I could beat it up and I won't feel bad. Need one of those largish floor mats one uses under chairs in offices to help keep me out of trouble for when I drop paints on the carpet. I do need to rip out the carpet up there, and place a hardwood floor in.

Any ideas on a decent desk or work table out there?

@Kelly

I'm partial to the Kidney-Tables that some classrooms have.

My most productive weekend of painting ever. Also, I absolutely love painting Malifaux models.

I also love GW's blood effect paint.

Not sure if you have freecycle in the states. Its an online thing where you can post all your old stuff you want rid of, and folk come and pick it up. I picked up two massive desks and whirly chairs from an office that was closing down for nothing. One for the man cave, and another for my studio. Because they were freebies, I don't mind that one is now covered in paint, glue etc, and the other has racks screwed into the top for all my rack gear. Worth a look anyway.

Since yesterdays test model was a success I am going forward with the rest of the squad... takes a bit of time but I think it is worth it.



This is the one from yesterday. It's the first time I try out oilwashing on a mini I am actually gonna use. (To bad the lighting keep messing up the more subtle effects)

Hopefully I get all 5 done today so I can move on to the next stage.

Buying some glue to glue all my unglued models together using glue that glues unglued models like glue does!

Today, I'm putting the finishing touches to my X-wing kickstarter. Getting excited!

I tried cleaning my Cold Navy ships and found it a huge pain so I have just put them in a jar of acetone for a few days. They are metal.

Having given up that bit of work I fiddled around with my 2mm New Kingdom Egyptian army a bit, sorted out the bases required, and started to clean things up prior to basing.

Those things are really creepy Loki.

Hoping to finish my diorama today, but we'll see.

Working on some necromunda terrain, and helping my 8 year old daughter assemble her Tervigon.

Bought a few odds and sods on Ebay to finish up a couple of ongoing projects.

Finished putting my mass of circle stuff together. Now i need to dig up a few spare arms (a few were missing) and get them based. Then off on a painting spree i go

I use a folding exam desk type table.

The new SW Dread has arrived, time for a cuppa then off to the workdesk.
