Sticking together the models from both Infinity starter boxsets (Icetorm/Red Veil) in preparation for our first playthrough tomorrow.
Possibly more One Page Rules games over the weekend of 40k, maybe their racing game too.

The fruits of my labour:



Three Mark I Rhinos ready for a rebuild.

Cheers,

Late last night I finished assembling a squad of Grav Centurions (minus the heads, which will be painted separately), so I'm hoping to get some primer on them either today or tomorrow. They will be painted in Blood Ravens markings. I also am going to try to do a whole squad of something today. Now I just need to figure out what I really want to paint!

Finishing off a few bits on the bases of some chaos, but also finishing the cleaning up of three old metal models, now rebuild, an Ahriman (just in time for the plastic one to arrive later this week), and a pair of chaos sorcerors to lead some Thousand Sons once painted.

Also washed and scrubbed (again) a land raider have got rid of hopefully enough of the dusts to be able to paint the thing...

Heading to the shop... might try out my Carcharadons... definitely gonna be working on painting up my "Irish" Ghostkeel

Resumed painting Kromac 2 (Circle warlock).

Trying to build a scrap building, out of scraps.

Today is investigating some paints. I want to order some paints so I can keep working on my BT. And I need to get a paint set to paint my Dreamforge guys (thinking an APC for the challenge next month)

Wasn't ever planning to paint my Mansions of Madness stuff but I thought I'd try an experiment I'd been pondering for a while. The results were a little disappointing but a) it's still an improvement on raw plastic and glue and b) they were pretty quick to rattle through so I'll claim victory.

Just primed the metal models noted previously, plus some loyal marines for wifyboo.

Also discovering just how long it takes a land raider to dry out after its been for a swim

Just got the Terminator Captain from our store (re-)opening. Built it and started priming...

Interviewing/recording podcast, test models for Space Wolves, begin unifying painting touch-ups w/30K Death Guard now that inventory after BoP reveals over 150 models... o_O so airbrush, take me awaaaayyy!

Finished painting Kromac 2.

Finally got back to painting after spending a week on the SO's costume for the Halloween party. Finished up all of 1 Harlequin, the blue one. Now all I have to do is base him, and he'll be up in the Painting Competition thread by tomorrow, hopefully.

Trying out a red, sandy base for the Harlequins. Hopefully that will work well for them. I might go to a blasted dark brown color since that should work better with the myriad of colors they will have. I figured the green and white of the snowy swamp bases I do for my Craftworlders probably would be too loud and buse for Harlies.

Those look awesome! Simple, but effective. The spotlight effect on the base really sells it. I painted an entire set of Mansions of Madness for a friend, and it is quite a big project (even if you're only doing tabletop standard), so I appreciate not wanting to go the long way around. I haven't worked up the energy to paint more than a couple of my own set (which is annoying because now it's started, yet unfinished). Nice idea!

If I may make a suggestion... I think the effect works on most of the figures (the girl clutching the book looks great), but I think the cultists look a bit empty. Maybe if it were something on their body, or their face masks, that carried the red, it might fill them out a bit more.

I think the effect works pretty well as it is, but it would also be a great base, which you could expand upon later, maybe with some gentle glazes (for hints of muted shadowy colours in the dark). So it's not like anything is lost, it's diffidently a victory.

Slowly working on the contents of Death Masque. I don't play current 40k but will use the DW marines it includes for DW Overkill characters introduced in September WD.

The Harlequins will be my matching force from the 3rd edition rulebook. There's a fight between Andy Chambers and (? Was it Gav Thorpe?) with a small SM army versus Eldar. That's what I'm partially replicating with the harlies.
But goodness I hate how delicate they are to assemble.

Finished Ghostkeel #1... all that's left is purity seal (which it will definitely need), basing and the drones

Basecoated all non-painted 30K Death Guard models. Finally!

Bought more Team yankee stuff.

gota make templates for the standardized camo.. fak thats going to get old :/

Finished the boots on my Soviet SMG platoon. Next up the dip, then basing.

Picking up some Citadel bases for Stormcast Eternals I'm painting on commission, then sitting down to finish sculpting my flying Mature Angel for Maelstrom's Edge, followed by painting my Karist Praetorians for the same.

LOVING Maelstrom's Edge.

Painting some Cataphractii Terminators

Hopefully more basecoating black on my BT stuff... rest of my paints are coming tomorrow hopefullly!!!

I have a bunch of models I had based with the plans of painting that I never got around to. So far 5 down! 10 to go!

Just got my copy of the Burning of Prospero....but it's in French. Great. :(

Prosper arrived here today as well, in English, so many bits in there - dropped a thread on the 30k forum to ask for suggested way to build it that work nicely in 30k so as not to end up with wonderful models I'll never use for anything else.

Otherwise not managed much this week other than getting the gold on some more chaos models

Finished. Better than raw plastic and became a little better at controlling the airbrush in the process. Also, nice to be able to blast through something quickly for once. If I ever get round to assembling the piles of plastic undead I have as a KoW army I may revisit this for pre-shading.
I shall now return to faffing about with normal brushes and 15mm resin motorbikes. And magnifier ring lights, because I can't see a damn thing these days.

Painted a Druid Wilder and a Woldwyrd for my Circle.

@larva-uk: looks very interesting.

Finished a flying base for an Avenger...no misting on the clear portion.

CB

Paintin up a Terminator Captain. It's the limited edition "store opening" model so trying my best on it.

So far I'm very pleased with the face, but the armour, not so much...
