Through this together via bitz I had: archon, void weaver, and death jester kits. I'll run this model as a character in my corsairs army. Sort of a death jester homage.
I hope to get it primed this week but have no idea when I'll get started on the paint phase.
Thanks for looking.
Just finished up this unit using nothing smaller than a ) brush. It's tabletop ready and replaces a similar unit.
Maybe one day I'll clean up some things I didn't notice until after the photos.
The guy above is definitely going to get some attention.
Some pics from a game I played against Space Wolves yesterday. Another loss as I lost a turn due to bad placement and boxing myself in. I need to switch up my list, my tactics, and have a plan.
Wrapping up deployment.
Space Wolves advance unimpeded.
I thought I had a clever plan to ambush the advancing squad with the most powerful psyker available in the army. I then whiffed 7 of 9 casting rolls essentially sacrificing this dude for no gain.
Switching to the vehicles of the three combat patrols I have.
I’ll need to compress these images but I wanted to put something in my moribund blog.
There's a lot of work here. TBH, I'm not feeling this work, but I aim to finish this one venom / 'weaver if nothing else.
Was part of a 3 vs 3 game yesterday. I fought mostly against Orks and Space Wolves. While the score has my team down 1, I'd say I still won with meeting new people and having a close game.
Here's the list
And the game pics.
Thanks for looking.
All done except for the sealing coat.
This guy is a test model. It uses the same colors as the witches, but it differs from the corsairs and existing kabalites. The latter is teal, not turquoise.
Obviously I've been going for quantity over quality lately. I'm shooting for these models to look good from several feet, not a few inches away.
Here's the pics.
Thanks for looking.
Some pics of some warlock skyrunners I started on Wednesday. I seem to be working back to front.
These are rescues so didn't do the build.
Colors used:
turbo dork shifting sounds
GW eshin gray blended with GW mechanical gray
Vallejo gloomy violet wet blended with Vallejo light gray
Comments and criticism welcome.
Thanks for looking.
Pics of my "finished" succubus. She'll be leading the witches at every opportunity.
After she survives a battle, I'll paint the whip spikes and golden rings on the trophy rack.
Thanks for looking.
These models count as Tortured Warriors with venom swords in my Grimdark death cult army. In 40k lore this is part of an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.
There's some details to paint in the torture racks, but that will not prevent me from calling these tabletop-ready.

These models count as Nightmares in my Grimdark death cult army. Alternatively, I can run them as storm squads in High Elf Fleets. In 40k lore this is an Ynnari army with an emphasis on pirates and banshees. It has a craft world, a wych cult, and a few kabalite bands joining in for kicks.
I finished these models (for now) today. I might go back and add more color to the weapons. Not thrilled with the arkhelion green results. These look like the Denver Broncos. However, they are read
Random games pics from my game on Sunday, May 21. Played against The Plague Brothers and got tabled. Three objectives to seize in no-man's land. I'll spare a full battle report and let you just look at the pics.
Playing around with ideas to improve pics of models.
Speaking of, I have painted models not posted yet and I'll get around to that. Not sure how replacing backgrounds on infantry will work, but at least there will be pics of dark reapers, more corsairs, and banshees incoming on my moribund blog.
Cross posting some pictures from the Hall of Honor > Army Showcase thread. I didn't take a ton of close ups, those can be found elsewhere on the B&C.

Pics of some of the terrain my group plays on. Our terrain gets recycled and repainted quite frequently but we never put unpainted work on the table.
Forgeworld's mystic terrain foresaw the future because contrast paint was made for these models.

Moving to the urban setting where we play most of our games, here's some pregame shots.

I attended the Renegade Open held in Plymouth, MN on 19 November. I walked through most of the events with friends over about an hour. I saw the 40K Friendly, the Barbicon Front (Horus Heresy) event, and Operation (Bolt Action). Here's some photos and commentary from my visit.

Haven't been overly motivated to do minis lately, but the sun was out so I took some quick WIP pics of some Aeldari pirates. This is in addition to the previous entry's models. These came pretty quick and I think I have the process down going forward. Obviously more to clean up here, but those mold lines are so obvious now. Next time.
I need to clean up and finish detailing some items, especially those faceless helms. Some items will get gloss coated.
The techpriests have provided me with a 20 year commemoration today. I realize that @Brother Tyler mentioned they could go out early, but I’ll still bask in the glow of middle age, plastic, and paint.
Collected some pics of my second Tau army during a pair of games. I threw in two Farsight models I actually completed before I went back to my Eldar.
Edit: My Tau gallery here at @B&C.
First blog reaction is on the Hrud image. So I decided to find the other pics of the army. Blog limits make me have to use links.
I hope you enjoy.

Doing some loose aeldari pirate/corsair thing. I'm expecting it to be a mix of stuff played as Ynnari if I ever go back to playing 40k. So no hurry.
These have been cleaned up a little, but I want this to be fairly quick to do when I get the urge.
The blue is Ahkelion Blue, dry brushed with Game Color Teal then Ulthuan Gray.
BTW, I hate assembling models more than ever.
Came across this game photo from 2019. I was playing my Tau in a short campaign against my friend's Hrud. If you like this photo, leave a comment and I'll see if I can find some more. Sadly the army was sold in 2020.

I started 40k in 1989 and have done a lot of work and played a lot of games. Since I've not actively been playing 40k for most of the past year, I haven't done much hobby wise.
I'll post stuff I'm working on and gradually consolidate stuff from older threads here.
