Trying to get down ideas for a solo game I thought up, after seeing Chainsaw Warrior in action I wanted something similar.
Will need some hex boards I think. Already got some wargear card ideas and was pondering the "fate" card system Dreadfleet had going, trigger enemies and stuff.
I guess different coloured hexes would do that too (or let you draw weapon cards, enemy cads, fate cards, I donno).

Finished some Blood Bowl Orc star player conversions and Chisel, the first Season Two model for the Masons in Guild Ball, and continued to work on my Halde Free Company (Kingdoms of Men in KoW) - 1/2 of a Shield Wall Horde finished, and two regiments of Pole Arms stuck to their bases with sticky tack for tomorrow's game.

Probably just a warbiker or two. It would be great to knock out the pack before the week starts. My two cases are also getting close to capacity, so I might have to make a new one.

Today, I woke up, painted my Assault Marines, and then proceeded to basecoat some tactical marines. I'm probably gonna do some late night painting again. I'm putting the hours!

Finished building all the SM forces from Calth.
Next comes the almost-as-much-fun (sarcasm intended) painting bit.

Thinking about getting Goreshade 3, Lord of Ruin, going in tourneys. He's one of the best casters in the game. Cavalry and ghostly will be fun to play.

Started painting three more Zombicide zombies and I am finishing off a Platoon of British Infantry for flames of war. They just need some grass on the bases now.

I'm going to have to do some repairing. Had a couple of games of Kings of War yesterday, and I can't believe how many minis broke, either in pieces or of their bases.

half a warlock per day..... anyone else a slow painter and then choose white as a primary color... sigh...

Over the holidays I painted 24 Tau Fire Warriors, 30 Kroot and a Krootox, 3 Crisis suits, a Devilfish, the drones for said Devilfish, and assembled a Ghost Keel.

To go along with all that, I've had 6 of the original 40k (metal) Tau Stealth suits assembled and primered since ... like the day they came out. I've also had 3 of the "new" (and considerably less cool looking imo) plastic ones assembled and primered for a while as well. So my plan for today is to covert the three plastic suits to all have Fusion blasters and then paint up all 9 suits. Since my metal suits all have the base load out (pulse canons), I'll split the squads up so that I still have three units of three, but now the new plastic suits will be the squad leaders and provide the Fusion guns.

Hopefully, mixing them in like this will lessen the look of three large, oddly shaped suits bouncing around amongst the much cooler, sleaker, and stealthier looking suits of yesteryear. Fingers crossed ....

A combination of tidying up and making a Battle Wagon - I have three made and need 2 more for my Blitz Brigade.

Tidying up in involved:
- fixing various small breaks on my Kanz
- fixing more magnets on Kanz and a few other models, and putting some green stuff on the bases to help secure the magnets
- Cleaning the last scraps of paint off some recycled (Ebay) MANZ
- Re gluing said MANZ
- Dropping battlewagon box on Kanz
- Fixing Kanz again and putting away in new biscuit tin home
- Completing first few stages of sprue Battlewagon #1

Finished fixing some Crxy models. Tomorrow lectures start but I'm ready for a WMH game on Saturday.

I just played a game at my FLGS 40k open play night. My Khorne Daemonkin vs. my opponent's Farsight Enclaves Tau. He had a Stormsurge and a Riptide with an ECPA. I had a CAD with Cypher's Fallen Champions as allies. We played Maelstrom Mission 2. I did end up losing (I think the score was like 8-5 against me), but my D-thirster managed to survive four D-missiles (only 2 of them were actually str. D) and a bunch of other stuff and kill the Stormsurge (but he ended up splatted by the Stomps. I was glad to get the game in today since there's a tournament on this coming Saturday. I think I'd be better off taking my Dark Angels instead of my KhorneKin, though.

Built 21 'Mechs and 3 vehicles, then made a voodoo doll of the person who designed the Hollander III and threw it into an active volcano!

Tiny metal models with separate legs and hips and torsos... uhh!

Helping setup tonight for a big 2 vs. 2, 20,000 vs 20,000, Space Marines vs. Ork throw down on Thursday. Never been a part of a game this size so I'm excited.

Sounds awesome! I wish my area had that sort of enthusiasm/participation for 40k...

Yeah, I'm psyched. I'll try and remember to post a couple photos of the game board.

Made a start on my next Lasrifle Section:



Six down, fourteen more to go, gak.

What are those third party female guardsmen/whatever you call them these days?

Neat.

Working on my not really secret project. Just not sharing till its done. Which is soon. Two or four hours of work tops but it may be a few days before I can sink that much time.

Sculpting flagstones on my DS dragon's base with milliput.

I mean, you could call it sculpting, or helplessly mashing at blobs of putty with a sculpting tool gripped clumsily in my paw. Whichever.

Finished off a few zombicide models today. Gonna try to work on either more zombies or the red hood tomorrow.

They're from Raging Heroes. They're from the Kurganova range.

Finished the Mobile Brigada I got for Christmas. The detail on these things is insane. (crappy photo doesn't do justice.)

Gutting and Organising my hobby zone and then arranging bits and bobs for my new projects....

1. Forge World Lord Commander Eidolon....
2. Scratch build / Conversion Leman Russ to Artillery Tractor (commission of sorts)
3. Rat Rod / Post Apoc Racer .. heavily weathered and corroded...

Been working with the old white dwarf templates for scratch building the epic ork battlewagons/battlefortresses in 40k scale.

One idea is a gobsmasha with an open top troop transport bay.

Also been thinking about what to do themewise with my unassembled IG army.

Just finished painting the Red Hood.

Painting up Tail Feathers I got as part of my game group's Secret Santa gift exchange. Those models are so different from what I normally paint (fairly typical sci fi and fantasy stuff) they've been a lot of fun!

Made a start on painting batman today. Not very confident painting the black cape but should be fun to try

Finishing my base coat on mauler- and forgefiends.

Putting together some Rangers for my Cygnar
