My plan today is either nail down the unit by unit organisation of my 9 remaining Infantry Regiment Hives and/or to sort out and post the first draft of the organisation of the Recon Hive Regiments. You can see the WIP of my Hive Regiments (this is a fluff based exercise and a long read) in the link in my signature if you want to throw your comments, suggestions and ideas into the mix.

Welp, so far I have only managed to partially work out my Recon Hive Regiments, but I did play a 1500pt game - A single full Hive Ranvent Shift (see fluff) against some 'what happened to be available' orks. Lost very badly, but learnt a lot and had fun, so I count it as a win for me. Biggest problem I was having was my chimera's getting in the way of each other, but I can work on that.
Also, if enough people turn up will be playing a session in an Only War Campaign later.

Painting some chaos terminators, slow going due to the Tamiya clear red needing three thinned coats.
No I dead how bad chaos terminators are, I suspect *very*, but I like the models and figure on table they are cheap enough in small units to be an amusing distraction, which is the role planned for them, that and small scale assassination of enemy rear area support units.
Typical for GW though, the box has five, they are bought in formations that start at three models... Hope if they ever re-do them they go to six in a box, oh and more chainfists.

*Growls* Yet again I haven't managed to get the organisation for my Recon Regiments. I really need a good kick to get it done and posted.
I have however managed to nail down the unit by unit organisation of 3 of my Hive Infantry Regiments.
Guys, give me a hand here, I need some Hive World slang names for Hell hounds, Bane Wolves and Devil Dogs and also what they may be called in the different parts of the Hive (Underhive, Hive City and Hive Spire). This is what seems to be putting me off each time I look at the spreadsheet.

Honestly those already sound like slang names. The Bane Wolf (That's the poisoned one, right?) could be nicknamed something about the Underhive, since those are supposed to be gross. Or 'Xeno Toilet'

With the bane wolf (yes the chem wolf) I was thinking in certain parts of the hive it might be known as a pacifier - its chem gas being non lethal and used to pacify worker riots. I imagine the Bane Wolf (Melta one) would often be used for cutting through or clearing ruins and debris (as most hive debris is plasteel, ceremite and rockcrete). I imagine the Hellhound would be used to clear Underhive areas of shanty towns.

Ridin' on a Snotling Pump Wagon
|
With my week off beginning 23rd January confirmed by work, it's time to make sure my Loyalist Iron Warriors are ready to bare their colours with pride.
That means assembling the shell of two more MkIII Deimos Rhinos, and getting the last of the resin (three Deimos Rhino kits and 10 Lascannons) all scrubbed up and ready.
Rest of this week will involve the last of the build, and next week undercoating and basecoating (god bless spray cans and my spray booth, especially given typical British January weather).
That should leave me a clear 9 days off to get as much painted as I possibly can.
For perspective, my 3,000 points are currently....
2 x 20 strong Legion Tactical Squads
1 x 10 strong Legion Tactical Support squad with flamers
1 x 5 strong Legion Tactical Support squad with plasma
1 x 5 strong Legion Tactical Support squad with melta
1 x Legion Terminator Squad (Tartaros pattern, Volkite and Lightning Claw)
1 x 5 strong Custodes spear squad
1 x Calladius Grav Tank
3 x Domitar Battle Automata (with added Flakk missiles)
3 x Castlex Battle Automata with Darkfire Cannon
3 x Deimos Rhinos
1 x 10 strong Havocs, all with Lascannon (may split into two squads of 5. Still weighing up my options)
1 x To Be Converted Warsmith (possibly in Tartaros Armour?)
Deadline of 23rd June 2017 seems a long way off....but when you're out the house 14 hours a day, and your weekends are already pretty packed, it definitely pays to aim well ahead of schedule....
Am also tempted to order up two sets of FW transfers, make it all super spangly?

Powerful Phoenix Lord

Textured the bases and primed a Terminator sergeant and five Eldar pirates...then primed them.
Then the post showed up with a Farseer and another Pirate...so I stripped them in the magnasonic and textured their bases - then primed them.
Then I painted that Terminator sergeant and dipped him.
Then for some reason I started to paint the pirates...and then the Farseer. I'm about 75% done on the pirates and may go try to finish them right after I type this. I also cleaned up my work desk and re-did the power management around the desk (and restocked the magnasonic with fresh Super Clean).
Also put in a couple of posts on the Oldhammer blog I've been working on.
If I get bored I may set up my new Phoenix Lord for painting too.
