I am painting everything blue

Magnetizing/assembling/cleaning some new devastators. It's fun for the whole family.

Working on my Black Crusade Rhinos on my army I started in 2015 (Prophetic!)



Death Guard finished. Top plate, rear and tracks scratch built (other parts left over from deimos kit)



I'm stuck on the Emperor's Children Rhino. I just can't get the base colours down well, no matter how thinly they are applied they just splosh and gloop :(.

Finally got my Infantry, Artillery and Armour Hive Regiments nailed down in a unit by unit format. (my latest post in this thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/711392.page if anyone wishes to take a look).

As for tomorrow, I guess I have to get the first draft of my recon regiments done and posted for comment.

Painting 5 blood warriors badly

At the risk of repeating myself, getting the organisation of my Recon Hives sorted and posting the first draft - I have already started on it and have come up with names for the various types of Hellhounds and how they are used in my hive cities, so its looking a bit more promising. If I do get it done with plenty of time to spare, I'll work on the final Hive which has all fliers.

Finished up a White Seer and will probably prep some Space Marine metals.

I did it, I actually did it. You can see it in the link in my signature.

Now to figure out the final Hive Regiment Organisation!!!

Maybe paint a little on my Space Marine Captain today. Need to apply maybe one more thin layer of red.

That's pretty dope! Totally following your progress on that one!

Yes, those are some really excellent looking epic salamanders! I'm going to pop over there now.

Not the most fun I've ever had assembling minis.



It's taken me 2 evenings to do that. Albeit I do have this really annoying issue where my 2mm drillbit is just slightly slightly smaller than my 2mm magnets, so I need to end up widening the hole with a knife each time I drill something.

Spent the evening building:

4xUCM Jakartas
2xUCM Limas
2xUCM New Orleans

Now I'm set and just need a battleship and a few cruiser boxes...

I have been trying to find a way to rework a scout marine into a scout marine who is tossing a throwing dog.

Some plastic generic Dark age warriors, with shields and spears.

For SAGA, which is AWESOME.

Finished painting five fiends of Slaanesh. In the painting and modeling thread.

Ok, My plan today is to at least make a big dent into the organisation of my final Hive Regiment. I spent a load of time looking at the different imperial fliers and what would fit the fluff, so I have a very rough idea of what it will look like.

Will certainly be good to get this done as it will allow me to have 'completed' a section of this project and be able to move onto the next stage.

Getting my Heavy weapons ready for my SM.
had to do some sculpting and so forth and a little bit work.
Also gave a good ol' cleaning to my airbrush.
My friend gave me his to clean because the guy he bought it from didnt clean it right. I got it all clean but broke the chuck, but he got it for free. so he is cool.
Tommorow I put paint to minis.
Then is is onto my Tau Crisis suit weapons, then IG THEN unchrated territory with starting my Circle Orboros.

No idea what that resin is supposed to be, but shouldn't you unwarp it prior to drilling and magnets?

It's plastic, and supposed to be curved

O I C.

Why so many magnets by the way?

Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of different weapons options. That and I was trying to help avoid gaps on the top hull. - That wasn't very successful.

Anyhows, a new thing today, ready for a game tomorrow.

Task Force X arrive in Star City.



They're... not welcome.

Finally finishing up my first ZM tile, drawing Pentagrams and waiting for FW stuff.

Made a nice dent in this yesterday, so hoping to finish it today (its looking promising) and get it posted for comments. Then spend some time basking in the feeling of having completed that stage.

After that, I will probably tackle the organisation of the psykers and storm troopers, or though I am itching to start writing some short stories, so we will see.

I'm hard at work on a hair metal themed war band I DONT CARE if it sucks harder than a broken vacuum cleaner, has confused colour schemes, shoe-horned in-jokes to stuff from the Reagan years and references to the 'Rock of ages' musical. Its my idea and I'm going to stick to it like zap-a-gap superglue.

Sulpting / converting 3 skorcha buggies : )

Oh, and I also want to get started on creating data cards for each of my units. I'm thinking this is probably what I will end up doing as again it is a large stage in my project. I will probably interpose this with bits of fiction to post to my project log.

Sculpting the bale sword for my GUO made from a Glottkin has begun this morning. Glottkin should be arriving any time from USPS. The damn sword is 5" tall!! I do in fact have an actual Glottkin with riders to know what the dimensions were supposed to be.

Got to actually play some games this weekend.
Played Battle Cry (Civil War game that uses Commands & Colors system) and my first game of Song of Blades & Heroes.
