The battle was fougth in a wintery landscape and it was an objective based one.
I needed to prevent the Russians from seizing control over a important town and also bog them down in the figth for the fields surronding the town.
In the end it ended as a bloody draw as both sides had expended too much manpower and effort in trying to dislodge each other. Also the very bloody cavalry battle that had raged for several turns claimed the lives of the commanders on both sides, witch was something we had not experienced before.

No pictures?!

**KalashnikovMarine**

Terminators. Almost done. Then I have to seal everything and pack for my move on Sunday

**StarDrop**

Just about to hit the workshop. Today I want to paint some more drones and my newly assembled Piranha's.

No sadly as I dont own a camera or a phone with one

**Desubot**

working on these puppies
spoiloreno for size

Spoiler:

Gona knock out another unit tonight.

**Paradigm**

Got some paint on my Puppetswar bugs, going for a natural, rough insect look. Certainly a change up from all the smooth blacks I've been working on recently.

Also figured out an easy method for sculpting scenic bases: GS over the base, press in with a button with some kind of relief pattern, and bam, instant basing! Got some pretty cool moonscape-style bases done for the bugs, might experiment with some other styles if I can find any other suitable 'stamps'.

**Buttery Commissar**

Did a lazy preshade and base coat on 30 mordians.
Looks like nothing right now due to their uniforms being white.

**StarDrop**

A new layer....

**KalashnikovMarine**

Got my Space Wolves completely done and sourced some bits for a Chaos Lord on Daemonic Steed for Age of Sigmar. I have quite the little army forming up with the starter box set, a mounted lord and five knights and a daemon prince. I likely won't go past that.

**timetowaste85**

Continuing work on a Mutalith Vortex Beast. Man, this is one helluva model. The price tag hurts, but it's frigging intricate and detailed as all hell.

Also started my basecoat on Archaon on foot.

**Vilegrimm**

Did some painting earlier today. I'm taking a break from my usual army painting and working on the Bones Cthulhu, Nightmare Edition Lord Chompy Bits and Dreamer, a mouseling barbarian, 3 bones hell hounds and an Anime Tactics model (can't remember her name at the moment, looks like a librarian).

Might go work on putting some Dreadball minis onto bases later, but then again, I might not.

-Vilegrimm

**nobody**

Picked up a DZC Resistance starter.

**Selym**

Started adding some paint to my Hellhammer. It's a long way off done yet, but it's gonna be my fave unit at this rate.

**timetowaste85**

Gonna go up to Orange, CT and try to play some WHFB, if anyone else shows up. Otherwise I may just paint/build while I'm up there.

**larva_uk**

Over the halfway point with this lot now. Just mancubi, zombies and the cyberdemons left to go.

My painting queue still stretches off towards the heat death of the universe though.

Muahaha... I kind of know how you feel

'Specially seeing as I just backed bones 3 for the core set and some gubbins.... I never learn... buying more models, especially in kickstarter bulk does not make the TODO pile go down.

**Talarn Blackshard**

Building (for an AoS Escalation League):

1 Gutrot Spume
1 Box Plaguebearers
1 Box Nurglings

**DalinCriid**

I was at work and I had some spare money. I decided to drive in my 1 hour break to the nearest hobby shop that sells GW stuff and buy me a Rhino. I went there but they had no Rhinos at all so I bought me this:

The picture was made in my office. Collegues that dont know what Warhammer is were WTF dude, is that for your kid. I was facepalming...

**Selym**

Spent three or so hours musing over the idea of making a 6mm IG force for Epic: Armageddon.

Eventually invented this list without reading up on the rules, due to Rule of Cool:

Companies:
Super Heavy Tank Company (3x Baneblade)
Steel Legion Tank Company (10x LRBT)
Steel Legion Tank Company (10x LRBT)

Support Formations:
Thunderbolt Squadron (2x Thunderbolts)
Thunderbolt Squadron (2x Thunderbolts)
Storm Trooper Platoon w/Valkyries (40x Storm Troopers, 4x Valkyries)
Storm Trooper Platoon w/Valkyries (40x Storm Troopers, 4x Valkyries)
Rough Rider Platoon (36x Rough Riders)

Clocks in at slightly under 3k points, which I'm told is average for E:A.

Gonna use these minis:

**Buttery Commissar**

Had a game at Warhammer World. Caved and bought a Hades breaching drill.
Delighted by both.

**Compel**

League of Shadows Set 1
Arkham Knight Robin

And Arkham Knight Batman

Just lookit that awesomeness.

**Stormwall**

Making the rest of 2015-2016 hobby budget.

Considering selling some unpainted grav centurions for store credit and replacing them with these:

**GrimDork**

Those mech suit dudes aren't bad at all. Not exactly my style, but pretty cool.

And that's a pretty sweet batman.

**ZergSmasher**

After spending the bulk of the day cleaning up my apartment (now it looks like a human being lives in it instead of some kind of pack rat or something), I'm going to get back to work painting my Ravenwing Darkshroud.

Here are some of RiTides' mechs for scale. The ones I posted are mounted on 40mm, his on 25mm.

I am sorta bummed/nervous that they won't be a good centurion replacement. What do you guys think? If I mount them on a 50mm should I be good? (I currently have cents but, I don't like how they look unless I make them myself, so I am trying to replace the ones I have with better options.)

**GrimDork**

Hmm. I'd let you use them as whatever but in that second picture they do look more like terminators.

**Stormwall**

I was thinking of cutting them and extending the legs but, I don't want to ruin a beautiful model.

Edit: I said feth it and PM'd Ritides for a scale pic.

**wuestenfux**

Assembling 10 Chaos Knights for my Khorne AoS army.

Trying out an idea of making a makeshift barrier out of old shield and spear bits.

Want to see this when finished.

I have about 120 spears, and about 40 shields from the Thunderbolt Mountain 30mm Heavy Goblins.

And if I can use them for something cool... I would like to do so.

Is this Doom?

I have a friend who worked on Doom and Quake (did the artwork for the critters - Gregor Punchatz).

It looks freaking cool, in any event.

Yes, it's the Doom boardgame (the core rules of which mutated into Descent, and eventually Imperial Assault). I picked up an unused copy of it at a bring-and-buy for the laughably low price of 18 quid. It's based on the Doom 3 designs but I couldn't stop myself from trying to use the original doom colour schemes (because otherwise they'd all be depressing shades of grey-brown). Also, because original doom is still frickin' awesome.
