Oh my.




Going to work on Goatvana some more. painted the underside of her and now she has mounted the goat. (..wait a sec)

I really am hating circle of orobors armor.

I'm going to my local GW to do some hobby work there... hopefully. Sometimes they're lacking in space. Just going to put together some MT Scions.

Just got in some Testors dullcote lacquer(brush on). Gonna see if I can throw it down on top of my tacky bones models to reduce/eliminate the tackiness. Here's hoping. If this works, I may investigate getting the spray variety to just use in the first place.

good luck, and keep us up to date, i've had a few go tacky on me also, though my solution was to hit them with a few layers of watered down ink

Nothing much done today, though I did make a pretty neat discovery! I dry fit my Autilon Skorr model (minus the terrible cat-face helmet) and discovered that he's freaking huge! If only normal Astartes models were this tall! Or maybe "Autilon Skorr" was actually just Forge World's Alpharius model, and they decided that releasing him as an event exclusive under a different name would be the perfect plan!

I'm staring at a 10 model unit of metal Witch Elves that need some paint...And simultaneously waiting for my new Army Painter brushes to come in the mail so I can get started :<

I'm working on fiction set in the Heresy and 40K universes... because you're not a real man if you don't take on too much at once and end up abandoning it all in the fanfic equivalent of a rage quit

Finished all the boots and rims on 30 Mordians.
(Hopefully) the last coat of Milliput and Multilaser fitted on my Aquila.

Dry faster, I want to sand and prime. :(

i am painting 100 gaurdsmen and 4 valkyries and 2 forge world flyer thingys.

Playing a 1000 point 40k match. Necrons vs Chaos Daemons. All my daemon anti-tank options have scattered off the table the moment they were deployed. Lol.

Also thinking of writing out how the WHFB end times would have worked out in the Blood Bowl universe.

@GreenskinLynn, it works! Oh my how it works!

Anyway... Testors Dullcote by the bottle. I had some bones that my usual spray sealer made tacky. I brushed the lacquer on and they are now totally dry/smooth/not-tacky to the touch. And it dries in a couple of minutes, which is nice. The main drawback is the horrible odor/noxious fumes. Use your mask, and do it outside or by a window with an out-blowing fan if at all possible. I fully intend to use this toxic stuff out on the porch as to do so in my hobby room (in the basement) would probably kill me.

Do be careful, if you put too much on/put it on too forcefully, you can wear the paint underneath it off. May solvent it off or something, not really sure. Only did it on one model and she was the furthest gone of my tacky dudes.

I ordered mine for like $5.50 on Amazon and consider it totally worth the cost, I'm sure I'll run into some quirks eventually but for right now it's got my 100% stamp of approval.


That was yesterday. As for today... I put a little more work down on my two Observance models, and kind of looked ahead to what other Infinity things I've got to do. Also planning to rebase some fantasy models onto KoW-friendly multibases... but haven't had any traction on that front today.

Probably going to clean and maybe prime some minis from the steel fist kick starter I just received.

Aaaaand finished. Time for another painting break while my boredom threshold cools down.

Finished priming my DZC Resistance starter, and moved all of my DZC into a new bag (instead of 3 bags and boxes).

Since I prefer 6th edition WoC Knights as they match the Warriors on foot...I decided to buy a box of the plastic Knights to be mounted characters. They'll stand out as more ornate models and it cost me $33 for 5 mounted lords and heroes!!

Got my Arkham City Ra's Al Ghul today, he's a much, much more suitable scale compared to the BB one. Gave him a quick head swap for something closer to Matt Nable's version in Arrow and he's a fantastic mini! Can't wait to get painting!

But first I need to finish Angron. The arms and base are mostly done, the main body piece is getting there, and the face needs a fair bit more work. I get the feeling he's going to be utterly badass when it all comes together, though!

That doom set looks good!

Looking forward to angry Ron and more batman stuff Para.


Working today but I will very likely be cleaning my Sputniks so I can get cracking on them for August's paint challenge.

The goat has been mounted.. i repeat. the goat has been mounted.

I dread to ask, but for what system is that model? And did the goat resist getting mounted?

Its warmahords.

And yes. metal models that dont sit well dont like being mounted :S

My god. It's Welsh.

Finally ordered a little brush maintenance kit. I'm not expecting the world, but I'm finding some paints, even when not overloading, are caking up my bristles midway, and resisting being cleaned out.

gonna paint up some warmahorde starters. my goal is to eventually have one of at least the original 8 factions painted up and stored in my plano case as a sort of lets learn or get a quick game in kit

Working on my Age of Sigmar starter and all the extra odds and ends I have for my Chaos army.

Played 1000 pts of Zone Mortalis today, my Solar Auxilia against Tau Empire. It was a pretty close match, 2-1 win for the Tau, with some gakky rolls on my end, plus a bit of bad luck with regards to my entry points. But, good fun was had, lessons were learned and it feels good to be able to play again after three months of busy work and other things.

I'm tempted to say: "Notnihg."
Except the fact that I ordered Shas'O R'myr and another model (which will remain concealed, until I get it and paint it. )

Tau kick ass.

finished painting up a skorne battlebox, outside of finishing the base, which i'll do as soon as my wash dries, then on to the next (probably circle)

Figuring out how to transport two SM armies and an IG army to Wales in a car with no room.

Heading to firestorm?

Magnetize them to the roof of the car? Throw out a passanger?

Possibly Firestorm Games in Cardiff, if that's what you mean.
I may try sellotaping the storage boxes to the outside of the car :3
