Played the tournament I mentioned yesterday in this thread. Got my butt supremely handed to me, enough to actually say I didn't have much fun at all and almost wish I hadn't gone. Not gonna give up, but my Khornekin are not going to any more tournaments until I get some better stuff for them. I could blame bad matchups (I pulled Grey Knights, Ork Swarms, and Daemon Flying Circus as my opponents), but truthfully it was some very poor decision-making on my part; it really just showed how much of a tyro I still am at 40k. Hopefully in a couple of months my (hopefully fully painted) Dark Angels can restore my honor.

Starting on my TIE Interceptor model, and I've also dug out an old toy Slave 1 that I think needs a repaint!

I plan to start building things for September's unofficial painting competition, and to try to knock out something for the current LoER comp before time runs out.

There may be tentacles.

Had a go at painting some terrain for my Morrowind set.

Looking good

Is that the metal version of that reaper barbarian lady? Also, did you correct her outfit?

Found some more Star Wars minis hidden away in cupboards. A Snowspeeder, TIE Interceptor, A-Wing and B-wing in different scales but good condition, and a Falcon (huge, about 14" from end to end) in need of some care. There was also an X-wing, but that was missing an engine and two guns an excuse to buy the Bandai one!

Yesterday, I sprayed half an army's worth of minis for my Templars, and I've now finished a Land Raider. Getting through this army at a reasonable pace now

..Just need to find two more Grav-Cannons...

Played in a Guild Ball tournament in London.

Came last (and consequently got a pretty good prize) but had an awesome time.

Everyone should be playing this game, so here is a shameless plug...

Finished building two battle barges to carry my DA to the Florida Segmentum... It's a unique barge design involving rubbermaids and foam so that each Marine can wait in an individual cell.

It the Bones version, so I had to replace her sword with a plastic one as it was far too flimsy. Aye I sculpted on some extra armour to her chest and hip, added a fur belt plus boots and extended her loin cloth at the back. Once she actually has a semblance of clothing on her she's not a bad model.

Just finished cleaning a Norse team for Blood Bowl.. debating if I can handle doing a load more metal cleaning for the Halfling one... although I've started the Treeman anyway.

Yeah, I like what you've done with her much better than the stock mini. I've got a pair of them for some reason, was trying to figure something out to do with them, maybe I'll have to steal the extra chest armor idea as my space barbarians in skin suits wasn't really panning out.

We need scale shots of those Star Wars vehicles Para, stat

It'll happen... Although I'm not sure how much use it'll be, these ones are all relics from the dawn of time itself* and probably all out of production. Still, if I can figure out the scale with a bit of maths, I guess you could use it to work out the size of the Finemolds/Bandai stuff that's still around.

Should get the Revell Interceptor done tonight.

*ie the original trilogy. I mean, it's not like there was anything before Star Wars, right?

Ahh if they're older kits then it's not as big of a deal, I just thought you had been stockpiling Revell (or similar) kits lately

Haha, 'fraid not! I'll let you know about any other newer ones I get, though!

Interceptor done. A-Wing, B-wing or Slave 1 next?

Just received a BattleFoam pack.

My Cadre is about to embark an epic journey!

Painted my UCM Seraphim and Eagle.

Down to just 4 bases of Praetorians and 4 Falcons left to paint before I start working on the Resistance starter.

Assembled 4 Castellax and 1 Thanatar today. Even with a hair dryer, getting those ammo feeds to line up was a pain. Still, cool looking models, and I am surprised at the size difference between them; I figured the Castellax would be slight taller. Built a Krios Venator yesterday. Will spend the rest of the week building my Magos and 15 Thallax.

Undercoating 10 Bane Knight for my pSkarre army. Ouch!

When I get home I'm getting back to working on my Pendraken 10mm Zulu War stuff.

I got some British and Zulus a couple of days ago, since then I've assembled the British infantry and about half of the Zulus (1 married and 1 unmarried regiment so far, I've got about enough models for another 1 of each) I'm about halfway through cleanup of the Natal Mounted Police so I'll try to finish them tonight.

Still got some cannons, limbers and another feth-load more Zulus to clean and base then I can get to painting.

This is somehowhobby-related, but I'm saving each 360-degree End Times image/ rotation before they disappear forever from the GW site.

finally had time to finish the last of my everblight starter
now to do the basing for it and the other starters i've been working on, then its off to clearcoat and pic taking

Do share the photos

Not much today, little hot glue action putting together a little 6x6x3 ish building. Gonna put some alien seed pods in it and some other Gubbins on the outside, but just got the frame built today.

Undercoating Mortenebra and the Coven.

Painting and painting and painting.

I've been reminded why I enjoy painting even though I'm no good at it; I had a panic attack and got through it by sitting down and concentrating really hard on painting.

Purple and gold elves are the thing. That's how I calm down.

Priming Bushido models.

Started painting my second unit of 10 Bane Knights. Need a way to distinguish them from the first unit.

Cleaning and stamping out more slouch hats :/

Painting 10 Bane Knights.

Priming a group of assault terminators for my marine army.
