Picked up the Hail Caesar rulebook and a box of Celtic Warriors from Warlord Games. Washed the sprues, waiting for them to dry, and perusing the rules.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Hail Caesar, the kits are an absolute joy to work with I can say

Started assembling the models in the AoS starter set.
Fantastic models. Love both factions.

I went out on a Sunday drive and strawberry picking.

How is this hobby related? ...Uh. ...Hmn. ...Well I'm making some European terrain and saw plenty of inspiration!

Managed to get a box of Perry Frenchists is 28mm more or less finished, need the bases sorting them matt varnish and done. based individually for Sharpe Practice, will get some trays for Black Powder.



Models are nicer than Warlords, mix of greatcoats and not, love the blue uniform, takes longer than the coat but looks a lot better

So I take it that you would recommend the set? Would you say that the Sigmarites(faction name??) would fit for a Sm force? After some modification?

So today I have primed:

5 T34's for my bro inlaw
5 Panther G's
5 Jagpanthers

and some German Artillery all for FoW.

I also sprayed up my wifes Treeman Spew for her wood elves ad I am currently sticking it all together

I am going to be spending the next few days trying to put together and prime/undercoat most of a flames of war army ready for a campaign.

Finished off building my Legion Destroyer Squad and began to finish off building my Chaos Havocs.

Plus I have built the Chaos section of AoS and now i'll begin building the Sigmarites, I have also figured on a colour scheme for my Sigmarites.

Nice! Those look great!

I did some more work on my Soviet SMG platoon: finished the faces and hands on about half of them.

Painting up some cheap skellingtons I found in a bargain box. They aren't much to look at, but they were priced just right.

I'm getting my AoS box in today (according to the tracking number) so I will be building some of those models today. Looking foward to it.

I'm on the last leg of a 100 handmade dice bag order. It's gotta be mailed out for Gencon so I'm sweating quite a bit as I'm never confident in my speed.

Playing with my new airbrush and using it to get my Sacral Vault finished.

Finished assembling the models in the AoS starter box.

Because I just crap out models apparently, here's what I've came up with today (beyond the painted stuff which I've posted in my S.T.A.L.K.E.R. thread). =P



Woo, sheds! Beat Space Marines and killy death robots any day!

Now let's see if I can get any more of that finished for a game I'm running tomorrow.

Shed of death!

need to do some 28mm terrain here for Black Powder, may have to borrow that idea.

As for today, basic really, new gaming mat arrived so had a look over that, then made a few counters for Bag the Hun.

Soo easy to get a nice finish with an airbrush, would have been three or four coats with a brush and obvious strokes even then

Building a 12' by 4' Normandy Invasion type beach with bunkers, trenches, obstacles, seawalls, some craters, the whole whatever creative idea I have for a Apoc game in Aug.

Managed to build a few tanks and a platoon of PSC riflemen today. Also got a Heavy Mortar team based up.

Building up some Circle orbos bases with roots stumps and vines out of Green stuff.

And perhaps prime some D wars things.

Gonna build Loyd Carriers and 6pdr British anti tank cannons today

Gonna work some more on converting an old Star Wars Rancor model I found into a Kustom Stompa

Heading into my gaming room to slap some more paint on my Asterian Dreadball team, a Reaper and pistol wraith for my Cryx and a couple of Bones knights.

After that, it's cutting out some prototypes for a LRT system for my city terrain for SuperSystem.

-Vilegrimm

Been working on some very old Empire Crossbowmen. tomorrow i'm going to work on my again very old Empire Archers. Both are from when those role's where covered by the militia boxed set. I'll get on to painting them over the weekend. and that will put me very close to finishing all my currently owned empire forces. Just some pistoliers and a large block of Flagellants left after that.

Moving some of the models and stuff to new game room. Yeah, that's right, the y get their own room now. Score.

Oggling pictures of Ukrainian APCs being used in the current war over there. I have a BMP-2 destined to go along with my Stalker models and was looking at current camo patterns and markings for the right look. Couldn't find any graffiti which really caught my eye though, so this thing wound up looking fairly bog standard looking (insomuch as a militia operated tank can look).

First try of flames of war today. I like it a lot so far.

I successfully multitasked today! I played both Marvel Heroes and did pretty much all of the painting on...



I've still to finish him and tidy him up a little bit (taking photos helps point out the worst parts, surprisingly. One thing I'm tempted to try out, is doing a dark blue wash on his cloak... - Might just stick with a black wash again though...

Just caught the end of Wayland's 'Deal of the Day': Angel Giraldez Masterclass book (with the mini) for a tenner... Yes please!

Received some models from peter pig today and some more bases allowing me to finish my second and third infantry platoons for flames of war. Still waiting on a HQ pack, some Anti Air and some Ram Kangaroos though.

I like that a lot nice work. I would like to see a dark blue wash, but if its ruined I will edit this post and deny everything.

Editing Middle-earth army lists for a set of Miniatures rules that were originally Historical, but which are getting a Fantasy version.

And then I have to think of appropriate names for them, so that they do not infringe copyrights.
