Digging through dungeon saga.. there's a lot. Got some organizers for the models and maybe tokens. Got some budget brushes to use once or twice for dipping, yay.

Finally finishing my Dreadfleet stuff, I felt some of the paintjobs were a tad rushed so am redoing 2 of the ships and some of the tokens.
Gonna play it with some friends when I visit them for New Years (they're not miniature gamers so it's easier to convince them to play it lol).
Someone at a KoW tournament awhile back said I finally found a good use for Dreadfleet when I used its massive box to carry my Snotling/Goblin army.

Got the Millinium Falcon and an X-Wing for X-Wing for my birthday. The other half of my present is seeing an advanced screening of Star Wars.

Finishing off a couple Fallout Vault Dwellers and a Robobrain.

Painting up T-72, and remembering to take the two hulls out of the freezer before Mrs. L. finds them. Think I did well actually, assembled ten and only had a magnetisation polarity reversal issue on two...

Five of my ten tanks now largely done in base colours, once the rest are done will varnish and black line..

working on cleaning up and assembling some refurbed ebay marines

Continuing to assemble my Stormsurge, still a long ways to go yet, and then I need to prime and paint the thing (in pieces).

started painting the refurbed ebay marines
i think this will be the last batch of tac marines i ever add to my blood angels

Bit more progress for team yankee.





Just nine more T-72 to go, they are in green and black lined but no further, just did one to see what the green comes out like when highlighted.

Hind is ok, rotors have magnets so hope to get plastic discs sorted for them soon.

Wondering on exhaust weathering from the helicopter exhausts?

Hind looks nice. What system is this for? Sorry if you already said, but I didn't feel like reading 253 pages. lol



Ghidorah

Team Yankee, basically Flames of War in 1985 in a hypothetical 'oh poo its all kicked off' based on the book Team Yankee.

Only had a quick taster game of it but feels to the WW2 game like 40k did to warhammer back when 1st edition came out, this could potentially be huge.

Consider just how many little wards there have been from the early 80's onwards a nice gradual release programme and you have everything up to modern day, in 15mm

Hind is ok, the model is not amazing as a gaming model though, rotors are stupidly fragile, you get a magnet for the main ones but not the tail (I've added small magnets anyway there) and the landing gear if you model it down won't last long either.

However it is huge for a 1:100 scale model

Got lucky and found some old army books that were 75% off at an FLGS. Currently trying to work on a 3E CSM codex to convert it to 6E.

EDIT: Holy feth, I didn't know Vampire Counts could be so powerful. Banshees are ethereal, making them impossible to harm with non-magical attacks,lore of Necromancy has spells that can resurrect troops and empower the wizard to use a single attack that's an automatic wound on hit, and the Vampire Lord statline is insane. Maybe it's because I'm using an outdated army book, but dear lord, these are pretty darn strong. Can't wait to perform the unit field tests.

Stuff.

Wait no. Need to elaborate.

Uh, painting little green men.

...

Which is to say I've actually bothered painting something instead of just sculpting. So yup, that's a thing.

Some initial painting on my maggoth lord

Trying to get my workroom in order, at least somewhat..

Continuing my year end push to turn tiny men on plastic spruce into...tiny assembled men. Pushed through five tanks, three special weapons squads, a lord commissar, and 24 HWT's. Push, push, push!

Assembling some Assault Marines to send over the pond to Britain.

Hopefully their time there will help them kill Nids and chaos here in the states.

Painting more stormtroopers. A little disappointed at how much worse the mould quality is on them compared to all my other imperial assault stuff but still, Stormtroopers!

Finished a second Mil-24, no picture as bar the landing gear is the same as the first.

Also got five tanks weathered and essentially done



They are much larger than the WW2 tanks, hopefully they have their first outing on the 23rd.

Played my first game of X-wing today, jolly fun stuff! In starting, I just flew one X-wing against a pair of TIEs, tomorrow (after a 6-film Star Wars marathon in preparation for EpVII on Monday) I'll be adding in more ships.

Nice models as well, looking forward to painting them up.

Painted 12 Early Imperial Roman Legionaries, realized I've still got another 12 to paint before I can even try to play a game, and then thought about how much nicer Caesarian Romans would have been...

I'm gonna need pics.

I've been working on some Khador stuff. They were my first foray into the game and I figured it's time to get back into them. (after collecting Convergence and Mercs)

I've been painting up the first half of a combat squad for my Ultramarines. Then I'm pondering picking up some Retribution minis for my return into Warmahordes.

Got my day off, so I decided to annoy myself to pieces and stick together a Jailbird from Raging Heroes:



Decided to give her a sawn-off shotgun and chainsaw from the Wargames Factory survivor sets.

Conversion work looks solid.

I'm going through my dungeon saga stuff (maybe one last time lol), today I'm punching out all of the tokens and scenery and looking for ways to organize it all into bags or plastic containers.

Finally starting to paint my eight Neo Terra Bolts for Infinity.

Painting up Nelly from the Zombicide Black Plague set for a friend.

Assembled three Contemptor Dreads from the HH starter box. Got two from ebay. The arms are magnetized as always so that I can mix with the weapons from my other five Dreads.

I am currently in the process of painting 8 "Rubric Terminators" and an aspiring sorcerer.

Crappy WIP shot of my zombie-hunting ganger:



I decided to replace the sawn-off with a spare laspistol I had left over from a FW upgrade pack or something. It'll receive a black wash for sure, it's a bit too bright green for my tastes, but other than that, I am liking where this is going. Now if I'm brave enough I'll also add something to the torn top and take a stab at something akin to a tribal tat on her left arm.

She's also gotten a name, courtesy of the Dark Heresy name charts, two D100 throws later we've got.. Fatal Jaine.

Assembled the two HQ's in the HH box. Nice models.
