I'm trying to apply some of the techniques from forge worlds model masterclass book, first time I'm playing around with oil paint. Nice way to get a headache btw.



Did the rust tonight.

Kitbashing some Orks for a Gorkamorka campaign.

second test model on Rubrics for TS army.
Reading Genestealer Cults novel

Magnus! Getting there!

Inventorying my Enforcer army for Warpath/Firefight. I think I have about 4K in points at this point.
Missing 5 more striders and the 45 pathfinders and characters/captains.

Although I find myself needing ONE Enforcer dropship.

Played Mansions of Madness 2nd Ed. Tried to escape from Innsmouth. Got trampled to death by an angry mob whilst trapped at the end of a burning dock. It did not go well.

Putting together a revell Venator Star Destroyer. The model was easy to put together and the details are pretty decent. I can't wait to start painting this baby, though. The ships of the prequels were one of the few highlights and I think it's a shame that they aren't as appreciated. I'll probably go with a standard open circle fleet Venator. Maaaybe one in Imperial service if I'm feeling saucy.

Finished five more old metal terminators.

Details on a few Guardsmen to reflect some regimental reorganization (moving Lascannons out of Infantry Squads and into dedicated heavy weapons teams).

Finished test model for Thousand Sons rubric marine. Decided non-metallic blue (looked too much like 30: alpha legion) though will use metallic for demon prince.
start painting rubrics

Staring at sculpting tools trying to remember what does what.

What's the title of the GSC novel?


Hobby-wise, I just primed a Goliath vehicle for my GSC.

The title is Genestealer Cults.

I almost bought it by mistake when looking for the codex.

I am painting everything red that isn't red and should be red

And my Goliath truck is finished. Just need to dull coat tomorrow.

You've mentioned it's very good a few times, the upcoming interview isn't an excuse to hobble him and keep him bedridden is it?

Spent the day playing Silver Tower with friends. Got 3 games in. Party was Skink Priest, Chaos Lord, Necromancer and Auric Runemaster. That changed to Slaughterpriest, Chaos Lord, Wight Lord and Skink Priest for the second and third games.

We did pretty well, without too many things getting the better of us. Actually got to use Exotic Monsters this time around as I built my Flamers and Screamers.

Quite a lot of fun.

Sadly for me. Thinking of picking up a paint brush but not doing it.

Two more members of the Hell Club for The Others done. One left. Then onto the first Faith squad. So much stuff still to paint.

I've been making tons of armour for my alt-history Germans lately. As my infantry have lagged behind, and well also because it was cool the last time we did it years back, I'm set to play a World of Tanks style game with my stuff in a week.

Well, all those heavy tanks are all well and good, but tsk, they need some more teeth. So I picked up a 1/48th scale Jagdpanther and am currently in the process of turning it into a Super Heavy tank in 1/56 (I'm calling it the Jaguar, though its mostly just a smaller E-100). We'll just have to see if the Maus I ordered also turns up, but I already have loads of other junk to paint as it is.

looking over some FAQs

Finished painting these ladies:

Assembling three boxes of Reavers with their equipment loadouts such that they can be Corsairs, Reavers, Windriders, or a Seer Council as required.

Played a game of Advanced Song of Blades & Heroes yesterday. It's got promise but the magic in the game is far too fiddly for my taste. Also, some of the game's traits (even playing using example lists) are super-unbalanced.

Also played a homebrew Mad Max game my buddy sliced together from Axles & Alloys and an old Milton Bradley game called Thunder Road. He rolled crap for two turns and I rolled high one turn and all 6's the second, winning the game without a ton of thought. He is back to the drawing board on that.

starting my portion of the global 30K campaign this year. yikes!

Finished the last of the Hell Club. Should be picking up a few bits for Walking Dead this evening before playing more KD:M (with a backup survivor as my usual one was decapitated by the Lion Knight on his last showdown).
