Agreed, I'm only a bit sad it's come only when army almost complete. And yeah, all barrels are drilled. That's the point of hobby, isn't it? Painting dark green and khaki not fun. At least not in second time. My old army was standard Canadians and it's lead to funny moments, like we play 3k game IG vs IG and turn two we can't understand is it my unit or his.

Very nice!

To be honest, I've no experience with 3D printed stuff, but will keep an eye on this thread to learn more.

Thank you both @Lathe Biosas and @Domhnall. Your time is much appreciated. I've always been a little spare with my writing. I like the idea of a reader thinking for themselves, as opposed to me spoon-feeding them every detail. I see it as a compliment to my readers' intellect. That said, I can see there's always room for improvement, to let the mask slip, as it were. I'll take both your points into consideration when I pick up the pen and paper (or keyboard and screen). Thank you very much. Take a look at the latest entry I penned this eve. Hopefully, it will show another side to the story. OK, OK! I'll have it done week's end. :P

Not sure how much use this is going to be, or if I can convey exactly what I'm thinking, but I think I can understand what is meant by a little stiff. There is a good chunk of the writing is short and sharp, giving the writing a quick pace and moving forward rapidly, at the expense of fluff (character reasoning/world building etc). That's not to say this is necessarily a bad thing! I think it works well for the short snippets type of story you have so far. It'd be more of an issue if/when you wanted to write something a bit longer. You'd need to provide a bit more meat on the story bones, give the reader time to digest and take in what's going on and why. Like I say, I quite like the quick pace and minimal background information on these really short stories, because as the reader I'm well equipped to make assumptions based on what I'm reading and implied context, so I don't need a deep understanding of the why's, just that a thing needs to happen, and it's happening now! Hope this helps.... ?

Necromunda Redemptionist for the ones with that I painted (that is John Blanche Art work from the Army Painter sets as back drop) and the Cherubs are from Adepta Sororitas Line. The White Backdrop models (not the GSC Goliath truck) are Forgeworld Characters for the Cawdor/ Redemptionist Line. Peach Back ground is an Artel W figure, pre FW release of the Stig Shambler.

Thank you. Much as I never intended on Laska and the Narrator to get together, this one just felt natural. A few lingering looks, a brush of the fingers over the other's skin...it just worked for me. I must admit, it was a little nerve-wracking writing about it. What do I know about two women in a relationship? The answer is 'very little', which, funnily enough, is also the answer to how much I know about Ratlings. So, I tried to write it so you could substitute either one or both for a different gender and for it to still work. I also ran it past two friends of mine, two women who've been together for 15-odd years and got their approval, which I was very happy about. It's funny how the story sometimes takes on a life of its own. I mean, this originally started out as a GSC story - now it's completely different!

I'm not sure what range these models are from but I am digging the John Blanche kinda feel to them.

Looking forward to seeing your progress. I learned a long time ago not to promise progress, haha.

I like the header pic you've posted. Good to see something a little different with the Canadians. edit: Yes, I meant to write Cadians, but autocorrect beat me this time. I'm going to own the mistake.

I’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out. I’ve always like Grey Knights, a feeling probably reinforced a fair bit by ADB’s Emperor’s Gift novel. This being done in true scale is an added visual bonus!

The number and diversity of projects you keep going is impressive…and inspiring!

Getting to that point of happiness with the process and outcome is a great milestone to have crossed as you look at this year’s schedule. And the scheme looks good. It looks like the barrels have been drilled. Am I seeing that right, or is it a visual trick of the paint job / how the guns came off the sprue?

Worbla is a thermoplastic, so it has different properties when you change its base temperature. In this case, if you heat worbla it goes from being a fairly hard plastic to something much more malleable- you can bend/shape it and even mash it together to sculpt with (though it does lose temp quickly so you have to work fast). It is a product that is used a lot in certain crafting circles, I saw it used in both making custom dolls/action figures and in cosplay. It isn't too expensive to get, and all you need to change it's temp is a heat gun, so it is an effective way to add stuff like skin/clothes to models if you don't want to mess around with actually sculpting with greenstuff/epoxies.

Yet another good job. They looks pretty scary? Mind to share how you make this trophies?

Sons of Horus 6th Company Livery (Color Scheme, Company Colors) Captain Unknown Amor - Green Right Shoulder - Dark Green Left Shoulder - Green Trim - Black Armorial - White Sergeant Crest - White and Dark Magenta

Sons of Horus 5th Company Livery (Color Scheme, Company Colors) Captain Horus Aximand, Captain Yade Durso Amor - Green Right Shoulder - Green Left Shoulder - Green Trim - Red Armorial - Gold Sergeant Crest - Red and Light Green

How many models would you add for each faction?

Keep up the good work! We'll be here with the cattle prods if you start slacking off...

Hmmm... my local Warhammer store says I can't make a pledge to paint unless I bring in unpainted and unassembled models until after January 16th. So, I'm going to simply envision what these guys will look like assembled until then. I did order some bits for soon to be Green Templar Vulkan He'stan.

Thank you. I wanted to portray them as professionals. No Top Gun stuff here!

love them

Go for it

Very nice short story.

Your stories are horrible ...... just kidding. I love your stories, and the work you put into them. Don't worry about hitting deadlines with us. We are here and even we need breaks sometimes

Grey ones for sure. I used Wargames Atlantic for my Militarum Tempestus models

Why not? List looks good. Just build and paint it.

To make up for this egregious sin of not updating us during the ridiculously busy part of the year, we will require you to mail us your beautifully painted Valkyrie as penance. Seriously, most of us fall off the posting wagon every now and then. Don't worry about it. We're just glad you are okay now.

Ah. I see what you mean about the head tilt. You can usually find Kneadatite in hardware stores and there are several places to buy it online if it’s not carried locally. It’s green stuff but sold in larger quantities/lower price per inch. I ordered online last time, but picked it up in Lowe’s or Home Depot before. It’s used to seal pipes.

Creme heads are too big. Grey are fine. But why you don't like kasrkins heads? There is heads with gasmasks which looks good. Also if you cut off filters you get almost same heads as your grey but fitting perfectly

The creme to me looked a bit big, the grey looks a better fit. The head with night vision goggles looks cool.

Welcome to the Ravenspire, @Lathe Biosas! May the Sons of Corax find you many victories

I was so intrigued I had to go looking at boxes on the internet...(Filter by Astartes, Select Price: High to Low...)

Nice work on the KoTR model. I had a similar thought process as you when I started but my test model didn't come out as well as yours so I abandoned them. (I ended up with a Phobos Kill Team but never wanted to expand beyond that). Looking forward to seeing a painted up army!
