Funnily enough, I do happen to have some scale shots to hand of the epic ships.

First, how they compare to the normal releases.




Plus, some extra stuff... My shadowsword and [strikethrough]Imperial Guard[/strikethrough] Valkyrie.

So the Decimator is almost as big as the rebel transport At least from what I can tell, it should be a big longer than the falcon and with more bulk. I'm sure the falcon is bigger than the yt2400 especially in length, but the Decimator still looks be be larger.

Kind of selling me on those bigger kits though!

Grav attack vehicles everywhere, shipped some stuff that someone bought on the swap shop, and delved the internets for old Rogue Trader art.

Turned out to be a great day.

Painting my guardians and trying out the wet pallet I made myself for the first time

I tried basecoating a boxfull of my mantic scenery from Deadzone wave 2.

It was so windy the spraypaint started going upwards. I managed a sprue and a half before I gave up.

Primed Bane Knights. Started painting them. 10 models.
More Banes...

For what system are these Banes?

I started painting what will become the core of my Drow band of adevnturers, for a upcoming Forgotten realms campagin set in the underdark. I somehow find myself doubting it will end well for my dicipels of Loth

My willpower finally crumbled after just over 2 years, and bought a box of GW Hobbit-era Dwarves. My thinking is that my next lined up purchase (WGF Orcs) are cheap enough that I can splurge a bit on these. Very nice minis, all being fairly heavily converted, but the £20 price point for a dozen of them still stings a bit.

Ouch!

Well, while Para is distracted by converting these new dwarfs, I'm gonna go paint some more so I can try to catch up

I'm thinking 2-3 marauders and some scifi zombie/mutants are on the table for today.

Yeah, it has put a dent in my painting time having to scratch-build weapons for each one individually, and I haven't even got started on the dozen shields I need yet!

Many thanks sir

not sure is it counts but I'm hoping to go for a run today wearing alot of weights. should be fun/incredibly painful.
also, I changed my sig.

Right, 9 Pikemen (Pikedwarves?) done but sans shield, 3 Kingsguard (elites with big axes) ready for priming. Now to get the shields done... Should be fun.

Blah, I got bomb-dog done but my daughter seems determined to keep me from finishing the sniper or ripper suit...

Trying to get this little lot finished for my "Bloodborn" themed army ready in time for an apocalypse game next month

I'm sculpting (yay), but not updating blogs/online galleries like I REALLY should be doing (boo)

On the more current hobby projects I'm starting up my one year (well most of it) army project (Jan 15th - Nov 15th), with the goal
of having a full 1500pt Kings of War army ready for the next Mantic open day, and if all goes well enter it into the tournament and
Army on Parade display competition.

Very exciting stuff, I really should start up a Dakka blog, Oh wait... yeah, thats what I meant to be doing right now.

Well anyway heres a quick mock-up shot of my future Ratfolk army (counts as Twilight Kin):


Just a mock-up, no details, just testing the overall shapes and conversion concepts.

Huh, interesting shapes, they look pretty ratty.

Trying to come up with a tournament list for my FLGS's 40K tournament

Reading X-Wing's rules - fun game

Maybe get soem painting/modelling in later if i have time.

Well hobby wise i played a game where my T1 drop pod ironclad survived 7 turns of constant pink horror bolts of change and infernal gate way some how with 1 HP left

Also working on mordhime orks

Building 40 battalion-box clan rats

I took part (using a borrowed helturkey) in a mini Skies of Death dog fight tourney today. Turns out any flier than can hover has a massive advantage. So the next time they run something like that it needs a lot of balancing.

Heldrakes are nasty.
Ork flyers did very very poorly today. I don't have a Hive Crone, so nobody got to play against it.

Ork flyers are pretty lousy anyway, so no surprise, whereas the hell turkey has always been a bit uber.

Working on an unholy alliance list now, elder, de and nurgle daemons

In about an hour I am going to our biweekly painting event/group. It is very relaxing and has helped me alot to actually get some painting done.

Last night I demo'd X-wing for a friend, and then played a normal sized game.

Today, might prime some of my witch elves.

Found an old church model set in the garage. It probably belonged to my grandfather, who was a bit of a model train guy. I'd like to try to put it together, but the pieces are all a bit battered and there's no guide.

Still pretty neat find, though. No one in my family ever throws any thing away.

Got my 9 Pikemen painted up, which means mini number 50 has been done! Not bad for 11 days, if I do say so myself!

=/


And here I was proud of hitting 15 last night!

Painted 10 Bane Knights.
More Banes.

Hah, you're still averaging more than 1 a day, which is very commendable, and I've yet to hit a painting doldrum. As soon as I do, there will be whole swathes of time for you to catch up as I stare at my backlog and mutter to myself about what to paint next!
