Reglued a knife that fell from a model, dropped said model, the head and grav-chute came off and they seemed to have stopped existing altogether, I cannot find them for the life of me.

That's grav tech for you.

On my side I unpacked 6 Lynxes and sorted the pieces before prep.

I swear, there is a portal to another dimension filled with SM legs under my desk.

Re-basing more Old West terrain...and I ordered a new game mat (one for me, one for a friend).

Same as my usual routine of blog and thread updates,making more objective markers,and checking out some new delivery's see below.

German Bombers.

British Fighters.

I played my first game of Conan, and well it wasn't what I was expecting (it came across as an arena fighter from the game I'd seen before, must have been the scenario). Aye, it was all right.

Meanwhile, a friend brought some books on WWII armour over. There's a lot in print format which just doesn't appear on the internet (like to a silly degree. There's whole series of prototypes and derivatives I never knew about). Particularly though I discovered two vehicles which I think may be the excuse for me to add a Vichi French element to my Alternative History German force. A tracked APC (very similar to the German Katzchen , though I doubt they're related) and a heavy tank which the Vichi French developed in secret which actually wound up being produced post-war. The APC will be no effort to convert, the tank is going to be a headache, but well seeing as its alt-history I'll cut some corners and include more German elements to save on the obtuse scratch builing (bonus points though on that front in that the French stole a load of German components from repair shops for their prototypes).

Now I just need the time to get around to working on all the WIPs I have. ...I have 3 Super Heavies sitting needing finishing (...for Bolt Action, where a Panzer IV is considered pricey. Meh, all tank games'll have to do), let alone all the infantry and some amazing resin vehicles I ordered from Die Waffenkammer. :(

Working on a custom made transportation system for all my crap.

should be fun on the bun working with aluminum and steel again.

Finished a rank of Night Goblins which had been in my queue since 2000 and some Deathwing Terminators from the 6th ed. boxed set. Gradually unburying myself.

I unsprued my 6 Lynxes right wings and borke 5 of the 6 in exactly the same place.... god bless gates.

Going to finish up my Frigate. Sure are a lot of metal bits on the flying Dwarf boat.

Started the Walking Dead: Days Gone Bye story mode. Not going to pretend that this car alarm going off and dragging everything away from the HQ door didn't shift things in my favour a bit

Finished some scatter terrain...making a handful of hitching posts and repainting a hotel.

Now working on four Mark I Immolators as taking photos of the other two I recently finished revealed all the flaws and mistakes on the other two. :(

Cheers,

CB

Little bit more on some MkIII Thousand Sons, plus a bit of work on resurrecting a Mk1 Rhino for them to ride in and a Mk1 Predator to escort it.

Chickened out of fitting new handrails, don't have suitable brass rod to hand and figure plastic will be far too weak...

Hope to start painting them tomorrow when the primer for this evening has cured

Meh project half failed. the trays work perfect, the transport flexes way too much.

time to get the wood out now :/

Well, I'm looking over he aprox. 100 first editionmetal marines, for maybe 8th ed.

I might just ebay the lot. Mean to say, they are worth something, right?

Well I finished up the project I had been working on since January. 1500pts of Gutbusters for Age of Sigmar



I went to a tournament over the weekend and got whooped...mostly. Honestly, it was my first time running the army and I did way better then I had thought. Now? I have no idea what project I will be working on. I'm probably going to focus on a few more pieces of terrain to add to my collection before I narrow it down to what I want to do.

I'm introing DC Universe for International Tabletop Day tomorrow, so I've done my bit to lower the barrier of entry when learning a new game.



Printed out rules sheets (the rulebook and character cards themselves are freely available from Knight Models website), done for each character individually.

Putting together 3 of Diewaffenkammer's new German E-Series tanks. I've had them for a few weeks, but not quite known exactly what to do with them. The base kits are nice enough, but I never use anything right out of the box, so've added on extra armour, next exhaust, and other tat. Now just to paint them and have some proper paper panzers for my alternative history force.

Finished a Contemptor and a Whirlwind. I need to wait for the fog to lift so I can spray Purity Seal on the Whirlwind and apply transfers.

Did some base colours and blacklining on Belial and a unit of Deathwing Knights

I've got those lynx bodies assembled and all sprues clipped... still a lot of unwarping, sanding as well as filling assembly gaps.

Reconquering my hobby room after an invasion of guest. I currently have the air filter set up in there (whatever perfume or cologne they use is simply headache inducing) and then I'll finish up painting my Talons of the Emperor army for 30k.

Khorne be getting some love in the form of an objective marker set,Building and painting x20 Bases of some unusual and or different types need the extra time next month painting now will save that time,Explosives are also on the way and have a set made in marker form,as well as a small necromunda marker to add to my collection,got some more paint on my ww2 era planes,and hopefully later tonight get the last couple of stages done on my marine squad that's still not done.Post all at a later date in the usual places when i take a batch of pics next.

Finishing the assembly of the tracks on my Fellblade, then I'm going to try out an Ironwing list in a game of 30K today.

Brought a bunch of bases for future models.
20 bases of 32mm and some larger ones.

Finished a Whirlwind this morning, followed by some base layers on Belial and the Deathwing Knights. I'll start highlighting them and doing details in my free time over the rest of the weekend. Also started blacklining a Ravenwing Squad.

Digging into my Creature Caster stuff I got from their KS. Wash, Clean and start assembling. I've already started on the War Demon.

1000 Sons tank convertions. Got my packs of FW rhino doors, some flaming cauldrons to go on the smoke stacks as well as icons of flame.

Did a predator last night and happy with it. Also have a demon head cannon barrel I put on a vindicator. Gonna slap the rhino doors on the side of the vindicator as the predator only needed the face plate.

Got some Tzeentch symbols and Tzaangor Shields I might include as well.

Then a couple rhinos.

Now dem Lynxes have engines, and underslung shuriken canons, and even right front fins.

Today I've been reboxing and sorting stuff and getting rid of things. Multiple Mantic and GW boxes being picked up by friends today or tomorrow. Got about $400 worth of Mantic scenery that is trying to find a home too. Lot of cleanout going on.
