TTW cheers

Elbows, running out of primed stuff sucks! Perhaps obtain some gesso and experiment?

I'm going to take a whack at some unfinished scenery today if I can get around to it.

Assembled a UCM Berlin Cruiser.

Finished painting Ahriman from Prospero. Just need to finish his base.

Been a mix of too busy and too tired (possible vitamin deficiency) to do much recently so just dusted my to-do pile and remembered I hadnt gotten around to ordering the FrostGrave expansions yet.

So Ive ordered the 3 espansions that are out so far and also got Dragon Rampant and Rogue Stars coming while I was at it.

I noticed ordering only books feels strangely comforting, guess its the lack of guilt as my to-do pile doesnt get any bigger.

Assembled the UCM Moscow from the starter and the bases, starting on the PHR fleet tonight.

Getting ready to sign off Dakka, turn on 'Suicide Squad' and build some Tzaangors.

Assembling the Lord of Plagues for use in Silver Tower, and then assembling some Bloodreavers.

Assembled the 4 frigates (2 Europas and 2 Medeas) in the PHR starter as well as the Hector Cruiser

Reassembling some skeleton warriors [not the short lived cartoon from the 90's] that some boneheaded [urg] house breaker smashed. Honestly; all the stuff in my house worth pinching and he/she decides to wreck some tiny skeletons instead

Bought a box of beastmen for my Chaos BB team.
Watched a game in the local store, SW vs. Chaos with Abaddon. SW tabled the enemy.

Finished messing about with Greed. Thinking about prepping some acolytes for priming. Or, if I can still find it, turning an old ipad box into a dice tray to go with my iphone box dice tower.

Well, I was going to be going to a 40k tournament today, but there's been kind of an ice storm here so now I can't go. Instead, I'll probably continue working on more Tactical marines, and maybe start working on the weapons for my Knight.

I'm putting together the first 5 Vanguard Veterans For my Ultramarines and contemplating a 30k World Eaters army

Finished basing and flatting my last seven Dire Avengers.

This year's progress:


6388 points of 2nd ed. Eldar. Purchased and painted this year.

Great job on that Eldar army

Man, that is a lot of Eldar footsloggers. Looks real good too.

Assembled 10 wolves of orboros. Plastic models..
Not the high standard of GW but not bad.
Each model came in 4 to 5 pieces.

It's warm today, so I'm going to try to get in a batch of priming/basing (when it's cold here I try to batch prime a dozen or more miniatures to hold me through the next good day of weather). Some cowboys, a few more Eldar.

I'm sure I have chores and things I could be doing today but I decided to continue basing and base coating the minis from my Conan Game. Haven't decided what else I'm going to do while I wait for the paint/glue to dry.

Doing the same thing as Elbows; primed a bunch of Tzeentch stuff to tide me over since it's warm out. It's started to drizzle though, so I think the priming is finished for a while. Gonna work on painting up some Screamers (going with a screamer deathstar) and some Tzeralds on discs with em. Maybe a few exalted flamers too.

Going to do my best to get something hobby related done.

I have a Chaos Space Marine Terminator Lord waiting to be assembled.

Assembles 10 beast men for my chaos BB team.
They could keep the daggers, but I took off the axes.

Cringing that I've only just finished one tank, am half way through another, but I'm already eyeing up and planning out the next two after that...

Whenever I do play a game with my Germans I'll probably have everyone looking at them going "eww, what the feth is that" for half the night.

Anyhow, painted this little beastie.

I'm starting to add the washes to my Necron Destroyers. I'm painting them in sets of 6 because after building 24 of em I need to see something actually be finished. I enjoy the painting a lot more than the building.

Just finished the painting and display base for my Opa's Christmas present. Now just have to mount it and add some water effects around the base to finish it

I think it's a lot closer to 3200 (probably 3600 total) than 6400 points, but good job nevertheless

I never could stomach the looks of the old miniatures personally, so I tend to hide the few 2nd eds I've got unless I'm playing Apocalypse lol.

Worked on my skyhammer Assault Marines. Im Kinda bummed. Due to some less than optimal bitz, trying some new techniques on them that didnt work well AT ALL, and so forth, they turned out kinda bad IMO, It bums me out TBH. I painted some really good assault marines on foot not too long ago and my friends loved them, I feel like i took a major step backwords. Not to mention, i painted some of them long past being tired.

Don't feel bad

For now, they're painted !

And later, you'll get to strip them or improve them.

Congrats on painting stuff - tbh I have someone prepping the bits for me and I barely even have time to assemble them lol.

6388...in 2nd edition. I don't play filthy 7th.

Putting some base coats on the Tau Commander I received in the shop's white elephant exchange...
