Took my first HH models for a spin this evening. A team game (groan! We only made it to Turn 3), 3000 points a side, 1000 per player. I had to break my 'painted stuff only' rule to actually get anything on the table worth playing, and in some cases ended up taking them off just as quickly. Final score stood at 7-4 to the Xenos team-up of DE and Necrons, though as the claimer of all 4 of those kill points I don't feel too bad about the pasting my forces took. In the end, I was down to just 9 models, the Vigilator and 2 Vets in a bastion while the Terminators/Praetor plodded forward to finally hit combat and took out a pair of Raiders in one turn. Vigilator just about survived crashing a Night Scythe into his own face, perhaps a somewhat ignominious first kill...

Next week, 750 point 1vs1 games, so I'll aim to have a fully painted force ready for that...

Bit more on my SS, and for a break built 8 termagants, from the stack of 40 unbuilt ones that have been lurking for a while (they failed an IB roll and hid in the back bedroom).

I'm getting my Chaos Juggerlord painted. I have until next week to finish him. Nothing like a deadline to unlock my inner speed painter. I just hope I can make him look decent in a week!

Baby steps ZergSmasher. Baby steps.

Gave a Fallout Vault Dweller a laser rifle. Next step, sculpting some metal armour into him.

Played an RPG last night of Infinity using Deadlands rules. We tried to cripple a ship so we can board it, ended up surprisingly blowing up its reactor and the flaming ship started falling into the atmosphere of a gas giant. So we had to pilot our ship to match its relative velocity and course, board it, get the package and get out before terrible things happened.

Played a game with my Cyriss vs Khador. The list is somewhere above.
My opponent wanted too much charging Butcher 3 forward against my battle group. With watcher up, my Inverter sent it knockdown. Then he died horribly.

Inverters knocking down casters is a beautiful thing. Last time I played my Cyriss, I knocked down Denny and Iron Mother proceeded to pour firepower onto her. Like clockwork.

I may be able to knock out a couple more units for my KoW army. And then I get to look at the additional 80+ models that needs to be painted.

Then it's pretty much game over although the Butcher was on ARM 24.

Today,

I bought paint, and white bomb, a 000 brush.

I use my white bomb for spartan scenic for finish paint it, i'm painting 3 wracks, 1 necron lord, 1 scout deathwatch and 1 kroot doggy.

Ans i'm assembling the space hulk mission 1, with battlesystems and spartan scenic for try it.

and for finish i put many stuff on ebay, SM, scenery..

Lots happening today, now I'm free of deadlines for a bit. Raven Guard sergeant painted up, an Iron Hand veteran and Praetor in progress, more Marines built and even a wee bit of sculpting on my Contemptor Dread...

Gonna build up some devastators... maybe... either that or try to prime my librarian in this cold weather.

Working on another Looted Wagon for my Orkz!

Played a few games of the Portal board game, where the cake was not a lie and many test subjects perished. I managed to chain character, card and move actions together to march 4 of my own test subjects into a sentry turret in a single turn and wipe myself out leaving nothing in Aperture labs but my delicious, game-winning cake.

Then played some King of New York, because Godzilla. Being in Manhattan on 19 victory points knowing that you only need 3 of skulls, stars or destruction on 6 dice to win with 3 sets of rerolls and rolling absolultely nada, then being beaten to the game winning 20 VPs by someone else before it came round to my turn again and I auto-won for still being in Manhattan smarted, just a little. Ok, a lot.

Finally started by Bolt Action Rifle Platoon that has been looking at me reproachfully for nearly 2 years.

I am also starting a Rogue Trader campaign later this evening.

painted up the final five GHQ M1 Abrams, just need a bit of varnish to complete.

Also built 20 Termagants, and based them, just need the bases soaking in dilute PVA and to dry before priming.

Then stripped rubbish paint from a Tyrannid Warrior, and a bit more from a seriously over painted carnifex.

Not a bad day really

Painting some models with the kids today. I've got a unit of Dwarf Thunders, daughter has a unit of zombies and the boy has a unit of orc greataxes.

Some Fallout miniatures.


Vault Dweller scouting party leader with a laser rifle and mismatched scavenged metal/combat and leather armour:

Eyebot

Just got finished painting my kitbashed Dark Apostle and a Spawn made from random leftover Bitz.

Repainting my Nurgle Prince and building a Bastion today (and tricking it out all Nurgly..)

Painted up my 4 UCM Hazard suit bases.

Now I just need to wait for my new foam to come in and I can start working on my Resistance starter.

Painting a starter set for AoS I bought from my buddy last Sunday. He had all the models built but no paint or primer applied.

Thus far, I have the stormcast guys all base coated black and all the chaos the same but started paining on chaos first.

Six of the blood warriors are done as is the warp beast/doggy creature. The khorgorath is nearly done, too. The khorne warrior looking guys are all coated with mephiston red and I'm experimenting with drybrushing.

You should totally show us some pics as you get these models done! I've come close to picking up the AoS starter myself, but I don't want to buy minis that I probably will never end up playing with (AoS is dead as a doornail at my FLGS as far as I can tell). The models are awesome, though!

When I get a force done, I'll do my best to post pics.

Been playing with transfers for my chosen of Abaddon.

Also trying to find a paint job for the face of a marine based around this body:



I really don't like the paint job on this image, have been trying to get an almost glam rock, over the top make up (lip stick, eye shadow, the works) look instead... To be honest it's not turning out great, but it has been pretty amusing to do!

Magnatized an aquatic jack. I like the Marineer, but needed a Rover. Solution? Magnets!

Doing some work on Old Father Belore.

Got my dungeon saga (finally). Looks pretty cool. Gonna go over that a bit but mostly tired.

Finished the shading of my Juggerlord last night (late). I'm highlighting all the metal trim, and boy is it gonna take a while to get it all done! Then I still have to go back and brighten up all the red! Fortunately that is almost all that's left.

Got 20 termagants assembled the other day to the point of ready for priming, once the wet PVA hardens tomorrow, hope to prime on Thursday.

Also poured a mould for some tree bases I sculpted (badly) on Sunday for some 6mm scale trees so that I can start production of them again hopefully Thursday. Basically got some cheap trees on eBay, don't fancy trying to superglue them to coins so have made small cone shaped bases with a hole in to glue the tree to and provide a bit of a flat base to stick to something. Just need to make some little woodland bases to stick these to.
