Painted up my Tzeentch Chaos lord converted from the guy I got with the white dwarf.

That's a nice conversion!

I didn't manage to get that game of Age of Sigmar in, homework took priority.

At some point soon I'd like to get my Fire Dragons done...

Very, very cool. Really like the moon bit.
Funny how that model is getting converted left and right

Worked on painting some more.

Played another game of Execution Force. Got killed again but made it to the chaos lord's ritual part.

Going to start taking photos of my Space Marines for my Plog, and maybe paint some Eldar. Bloody bodysuits...

Assembling FW Death Guard I found unpacking, priming rest of KoW abyssal dwarf army, hoping to do a coat of paint on some skitarii.

I'm working on finishing a wheeled Razorback conversion for my Grey Knights army. I found out that the Chapterhouse Chimera conversion kit works REALLY well on a Rhino as well, minimal conversion work needed.

Using spare bits and an ebay ordered rhino hull it is actually much cheaper than buying a new Razorback as well.

Finally finished building my Knight, only had it since day one when the models first came out.. (have lost one of the shin pads, will be around here somewhere)

Anyway built, primed and first attempt at painting, now abandoned and re-primed as the gold went horribly over the base silver (like painting water colours over wax horrible).

Experimented with Tamiya clear red through the airbrush at 1:1 thinning, hmm, goes on a bit like a filter, also has the same issue as above over the VMA Chrome, but not over other colours.

Meh, more experimentation required, aiming for a clear red over gold for the armour panels on the knight, trimmed gold...

Played a game of Devil's Run. I lost, but then the guy making off with the stash at the end was the only unwrecked vehicle on the road by that point.
Then played the first scenario in 2nd Ed. Mansions of Madness. We won, but I lost due to my insanity making it pretty much impossible to claim a personal win (I'd have had to clear every single search token on the map and there were at least a dozen left which were a bit tricky to get to when wounded, with a broken arm and in combat with a deep one, a cultist and the priest of dagon. My investigative partner managed to get out alive with the evidence (and an insanity which fortunately worked with the small shopload of gear he was carrying to count as a win).

Going to drill more barrels. Yaaayy

Airbrushing as much as I can on Abyssal Dwarfs for KoW and Death Guard for 30K

Taking my 6000 points of Space Marine infantry out of the tub of Simple green they've been soaking in to strip and repaint them. So...much...scrubbing!

Experimenting with Tamiya clear paints, aiming for a warm metallic red so have tried over gold and silver, so far gold is winning but its close.

Have a VMA gold on order so should be able to get a better base coat, currently torturing some 1/100 scale cars as experimental models.

Also repainted some 1/100 model lorries for team yankee, a pair in UN colours a pair of just generic ones

Finished off the teleportation homing beacon and started working on painting some sternguard that were kitbashed together from Betrayal at Calth and a Blood Angels Tac Marine box. Lots of detail bits... I have a feeling these guys are going to take a while

Figuring out the rest of the color scheme for these guys

Had another bash with the Tamiya clear red, just thinned very slightly and it works, some model air gold arrived today as well.

Have just finished priming three of the push fit CSM models to have a play with tomorrow with the golds, an airbrush and zenith highlighting before an overcoat in red once its all cured, likely to be a few days as liquid mask is needed so the base has to cure right.

If I can get it to work though should look decent and while it will take a while overall the time per model will be low enough to make doing these in batches ideal.

Figure a new army for Apoc games.. going with CSM and eventually daemons as must have 3k-4k of them in boxes laying around...

Finished those Sisters of Battle Heavy Flamers.



I'll place more images in my PLOG later.

Cheers,

Despite the fact that I'm on vacation right now, I managed to accomplish something hobbywise: I visited a GW store for the very first time. I have to say I wish there was one in my hometown instead of 2 hours away, as it was a very cool store and the guy working there was very friendly and helpful (no horror story of an overly pushy salesman here!). I bought a Tactical Squad since I am slowly building up to being able to run a full Battle Company for my Dark Angels. The guy tried to upsell me a DA upgrade kit (which I would have gladly bought) but the store was out of stock of them. Oh well.

Raiding the bits crate for bits to make a few mining walkers, as stand in Sentinels

Based the cream-white areas on the sternguard. So many details...

I have my traveling paint box packed up and am heading to the shop after class today.

Knight is starting to get a bit of paint...



See, I do actually have one.. honest guv.

Needs to cure then some Tamiya clear red on the armour panels.

Also picked up Dark Vengeance, finally, Chaos stuff assembled, the Dark Angels will have a bit of work with a file to become generic marines, likely to end up alongside the chaos stuff but able to run using the normal book as well if I fancy it - otherwise just filler in a chaos force.

Picked up Traitors Hate as well, seems decent so far as a book, dare say the text is full of logic WTF moments, but seems fun enough for now.

Painting KoW abyssal dwarfs, assembling skitarii ruststalkers or infiltrators

Slowly painting up a squad of Tempestus Scions using the tutorials provided by Warhammer TV. While I'm going at a snails pace, I do feel that my skills are improving.

Oh, that sounds cool! You should post a few pics here when finished.

Finished a second trade on Dakka and sent off my part.

Two out of five for this squad done now. Sloooooooooowly getting there!

Well my tablet didn't charge properly last night so I spent this morning writing army lists for Batman on the train the old fashioned way. With a pen. And paper.
I'm pretty sure I've made up some impressively terrible lists too. Ones I'm pretty sure Batman could take out singlehandedly

@Brook good to see them in use
