Was working on converting a chimera kit to a Salamander Command Vehicle when I got notified by my wife that it was time to head to the hosptial. Will have to pick it back up after the kid is born.

Nothing much yet. My next shipment from FW is on the way, so I plan to get some of my HQ dudes started while the rest of the bits come in, and I just opened my copies of Prospero and copy of Calth to gaze at the contents within. My plan of attack is just about done, so I've started the washing of the resin pieces I've already got.

I've got 1000 points of Iron Warriors coming in the mail for my birthday; the Terminator Sorcerer and Tartaros Terminators came in late today. Glued together the Sorcerer, not sure if I want to get it painted before I start gluing together other stuff or if I want to glue everything first so I have something to play with while I paint.

Grandfather clock and grandfather mimic figures! Fine for tabletop, but that clock face needs work. I just realized upon posting that I should cheat and, instead of painting in the details of that clock face, I should just print out a reduce-sized clock face and stick it on the clock! The players won't notice the difference when I put the clock in -- what's a clock doing in a dungeon, anyway???

The mimics are made by Forge Prints. BTW, Their Adventurescapes KS terrain and game tiles has only a few more days to go. Docks, tavern, and alchemist's dungeon lair. $75 per set.

So I didn't do this today (sorry, bending the rules!) but this is probably the right thread to post it in. I managed to start doing some simple digital art, just to test out the app, and this is what I came up within a few minutes:

It's a Primarus head, using one of my own models as a reference. It was drawn out with my finger, which quickly hurt like hell. Looking at it, I think the perspective is a little off. Got to work on that. I plan to pick up the pencil this weekend, which will hopefully allow me to do more neat, tidy and detailed work.

My plan for today and this weekend is to clean up the spare room we have from being a catch-all room that happens to include our wargaming stuff into an actual office/school room that happens to have our wargaming stuff.

Also, I'm getting some slow but steady work done on my Ironjawz. I might get around to assembling more of my wife's and step-daughter's armies as well, depending on how time plays out.

Oh, and plotting out future scenery builds for more home gaming!

Just painted up the weapons for installation on my Eldar/Robotech Regult-war-walkers...will attach in a bit when I feel the shields have settled in the glue well enough.

Then I'll get angry about the end product...and likely sell them on eBay after wasting a large amount of time.

Trawling the Russian and Ukrainian internet to find out information about their current military tech. The Ukrainian Wikipedia is surprisingly helpful when it comes to specific numbers of vehicles (though it doesn't go into the nuanced upgrade kits). Meanwhile the English version is like "T-80 - the Ukrainians use it." ...So ah, the original one, or one of the umpteen variants?

The hell of wanting to make an accurate forces for modern wargames. I'm going for accurate organisations and equipment - so OP as feth in any actual wargame (1 LMG/ MMG, 3 RPGs and 2 UBGL in a 7 man Russian squad... The Ukrainians double down on MGs).

Eh, the advantage is you can also justify damn near anything in a modern wargame. I agree though - it's a tough thing to do, particularly in a foreign language or on the other side of what was once a curtain of iron-influence.

I'm trimming mould lines from my metal Howling Banshees. I didn't think the Finecast ones would hold up to, well, anything, so I bought metal ones second hand.

Broke up three Auto cannon teams that have been partially painted for ages. Going to make three Mortar teams in their place. Never liked the Mortar loader arms so I am going to convert to make more realistic poses. Finished the first team conversion.

Spray painted by four scratch-built shipping containers. Two are now dark green and two are bright yellow. Next step is painting the details and the wear and tear of cross light years to the battlefield.

Finished painting my last primaris (and consequently my last) space marine for my army. Glad to have that behind me.

Also painted up 4 treasure chests from the D&D or Pathfinder pre-primed line. They'll be for Frostgrave or that new Ghost Archipelago spin-off game.

My queue now consists of:
20 GSC neophytes that are already basecoated khaki
65 zombies from Zombicide Black Plague that are already basecoated
