Painting craters to match my gaming mat.

Nice craters

I made some headway towards finishing a little mobile painting tray thing to try to get some extra hobbying in during unexpected downtime whilst watching the kids at home.

Nice! That's a neat idea.

I'm actually looking at a possible game tonight. Gaming! Who would have expected it.

Got the shelving for my paints in the mail, so I finally got my painting setup to a workable condition.

Talk about a fancy paint rack!

Today's goal is to drill out gun barrels for 10 terminators. Then I need to go through all the pieces of tank parts I have and make sure that I get everything I need primed. Lots of small parts in baggies.

Continuing to work on painting my Riptide, which is turning into a weeks-long ordeal.

Painting some tank crew...finding it a problem as they are not fixed to the tank anymore and holding them to corks is proving difficult due to the size.

Cheers,

Finished assembling 20 GSC neophytes

got a do the acolytes now and im not looking forward to Green stuffing boots and gloves on all of them :(

Worked on Ares Lictor II's base some more. The sand is looking pretty nice and the dead wraithlord is now painted blue with some yellow detailing on his head. Stopped partway through the sand though since I was messing up spots I had done when I was adding more glue. I'm going to wait for it to dry so I do not wipe as much off when I handle it.

Also, sold Eldrad! I'm glad someone else liked his paint-job. I may have to find that box of grey knights floating around somewhere and paint them up too... and maybe the orks.

Quick question: what are the really common paint schemes for grey knights and orks?

Kitbashing a missile launcher weapons team for my GSC

Starting on my adjustable display cabinet that works with the table war case.

Working on a rhino for some chaos marines and a pair of spawn for when the enevitable occurs, amazingly mad models but great fun.

Been painting 3 jetbikes converted as Harlie jetbikes. Used a micro pen for the first time to draw my diamond template. It came out decent for my unit leader but nothing to write home about.

Priming some Circle models such as the extremal feral warpwolf. An absolutely nice model.

´That particular model is so out of line with all the other (gorgeous) circle models...

Finished up Ares Lictor II and tried to fill in all the holes in an old set of resin Harlequins. It kind of worked, but they are probably going to look a little odd no matter what I do. At least their were no bubbles on their faces

Planning a small Ork army based around a Big Mek and his 'Big Shop', including Gretchin floor assistance, the 'acquisition team' of a few Deathskull boyz in a tow trukk, the badmoon meganob 'financial backers' and so on.

I then remembered I have an IG army still awaiting assembly. Started looking for the final pieces I'd need to begin assembly, leading me to the temptation of running it as GSCs...

Cultists...

Oops! I need to finish my Black Crusade army I started two years ago! I have a Daemon Prince with only one foot! Did some sculpting work to begin rectifying that so I can get some paint on these last few models!

Today is finishing up accessories for 4 rhino/razorbacks and 2 predators. They are all magnetized, and some how my heavy bolters and the magnets in the piece that holds them don't want to line up, despite being attracted to each other....

And as always, if time permits, more base coating black on the last few items. Maybe see if I can rig up a paint shaker to see if my old GW paints are still good.... they are still liquid after 3 years, but have some separation.

Getting some Dark Yellow spray paint for a flyer.

Was going to try and dig out my hobby stuff. But I find myself deprived of any real will for it. Good thing one has friends to sell and give away to

Painting culty hybrids

Finished doing a bunch of stuff from my random spare minis pile as plague zombies.

I'm learning to play Dropfleet Commander tonight.

Picking up my Knights Models Jean Grey, 2nd Emma Frost (for skin, not diamond), Brotherhood and Sabertooth in a couple hours!! Woot!!!

Rain is delaying work a bit so I'm taking advantage and working on some dungeon saga goblins.

Put in an order on ebay for some DE bits to Corsair-ify my Skathach Wraithknight and a Farseer model to paint up as Bel-Annanth.

Also, figured out my Harlequin paint scheme - a modified Frozen Stars. I dislike the gold masks, and I intend to paint each model with a different accent color (the orange).


I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with my elites (Troupe Masters, Shadowseers, Death Jesters, and Solitaire) yet. I was thinking of either doing a bunch of nebulae or starscapes on the coats, loincloths, etc. But I also have this idea to paint up each as the representation of a different Eldar god or goddess - kind of in just the paint scheme with inclusions of particular motifs or designs (chains for Vaul, leaves and greenery for Kurnous, etc.). The biggest problem I run into with this one is that the 40k Eldar gods are not very fleshed out, so I feel like I would have to pull from a lot of odd sources for it.

Otherwise, doing the little paint scheme image gave me the motivation to start painting some Harlies, even if it was only the base coating for where the white will go.

Building another Goliath truck for my ever growing Genestealer Cult, along with the Neophytes some of the best kits that GW have ever produced.

Derping around with Sunblitz Brotherhood paint scheme.

Washing some models I striped of paint.

That is a super cool paint scheme. Really liking it!
