Primed several Cryx models. Now they will be ready for play.

Today I am working in The Games Den (like I do most days!), and then going home to run a D&D game for my partner and our friend, and then if I am still awake, I will try and finish repainting my Eldar Falcon grav-tank that I've had since I was about 13.

Edited the entry of Bile Thralls at battlecollege.org.

Gonna pop by the local library today for its monthly game day. Probably end up playing/refereeing some x-wing or a remote chance of dnd or some random boardgame.

Also continuing work on punching out and assembling my bags systems stuff.

Working on some CSM. Going to reserve the new White Dwarf tomorrow, which should be great.

Working on the only ultramarine I have ever painted with more skill than dunking it in a vat of blue paint.

Did an intro game of Star Wars Armada today. My newbie Rebel player learned a very important lesson of frigate against Star Destroyer in a head-on collision doesn't end well for the frigate.

Boooom!

I took a mishmashed Scum list of whatever I could find in my hastily assembled box o' ships in a 100pt 3 way battle today at the library thing. Something like a properly kitted Kavil, Sarisu with a laser cannon (I know, but I wanted to try it lol) and a mini swarm of Zs against 3 rebel ships and a gaggle of Tie-whatevers. Managed a fairly solid victory, thanks largely to Kavil for one-shotting both of the tie interceptors out of his arc (like a boss) and properly prioritizing shots against the most damaged ships. The Z's were basically pathetic but they ate up shots, I won't complain.

Gonna try to paint something up before the end of the month...

Sounds like Z-95's were doing what they were doing best.

Today I am working at The Games Den for a few hours, then going home to paint some Eldar and play a wargame with my wee lad I think.

Praetorian of Dorn, rebasing for AoS on Hammerers or Longbeads, painting that FW praetor with great weapon they sold in GW shops for a weekend only--to join my Death Guard 30K.

Today i have magnetised a leman Russ demolisher so I can use it as any of the three variants from that kit with any combination of hull/sponson weapons. I think I worked out that there are 36 possible combinations so I've saved myself a few dabloons there

I am now painting up some guardsmen. They're long overdue and I aim to finish at least two of them today. If I don't get fed up I'll do more, if I do get fed up I might paint some terrain.

Ed

Painting up a buddy's WK in exchange for a 10 man squad of Mk IV marines (from the calth box) that are still on sprue....


Also, assembled and gonna prime Ulrik the Slayer here in a bit.

Sat staring at those Eldar waiting for motivation to kick in...

Gluing together some Tau firewarriors.

Punched and assembled the last city block, now I just have to do 4 more sheets of extras for that and 7-10 sheets of misc add-on sets and I can look into my 4x4' city build.

Attempting to finish some stuff for a Kill Team game tomorrow.
Eldar are fiddly little blighters.

Wrote out a Deathwatch themed Kill Team list for next weekend, when I'll hopefully pick up both a box of veterans and Kill Team itself.

Played that little wargame with my son (he's 7). He won. My five Iron Warriors and their Champion were felled by his cultists and plaguebearers!

Very simplified 40K rules, but the basics are there.

Bought an Exocrine yesterday, built yesterday and got the base colours on today, decent model really more or less fell together, wash coats would go on tomorrow.

Upgrading hive fleet turnip for an APOC game later next month.

Also got some fighters for Star Wars Armada painted up

I'm reading through the 3rd edition Guard codex I recently came into possession of and lamenting just how far the army has fallen since those golden days

Is it the one with the picture of the Cadian troopers in the trench system on the front cover, or the later one with the Doctrines?

Yesterday I finished that Iyanden Falcon that had been annoying me for a few days. Today I have begun to paint up the Guardian Defenders I have, and have popped back into The Games Den. I am hoping to finish the Guardians today and also update my Army of the Imperium plog.

Trying to paint my Icebrow Hunter and not snap my brushes since I am having a hard time painting the flesh colour I want. ARGH!

Finally finished all the Dungeon Tiles I got from the Dwarven Forge Kickstarter I got two years ago. I still have 4 boxes from the Cavern set that came out after but for now I'm happy I have a dungeon I can use my minis on:

I learned that Eldar Dire Avengers really do not like SM Scouts with Landspeeder Storms, paired with Heavy Bolters. Played a 200 point KT game, inflicted 1HP against the marines, and was tabled on T3.

Drive-by scousers...

I picked up both of them, but I'm referring to the one with the doctrines

Basing a few Stormcast ready for a tournament coming up.

detailing runes on Fyreslayers and touching up some terrible paint jobs.

Painted Goreshade3. One of the best assassination casters in the game.
