Hi folks, Remember this Unidentified Flying Object?: Well, after years waiting to receive some care and attention, it has been sentenced to paint. Kudo to Jokaero Painting Challenge… I went for a black and yellow scheme, at least for the Rokkits and the oversized chaincleaver. Because at this size it ain’t choppa nor chainsword anymore, is it? And the banner for this article fits the scheme too, did you notice? Such a sense of detail… Because it is better getting sense of detail in Blog editing than on painting of a model that essentially received a big fat drybrush. And that’s (almost) all. Almost as I still struggle with yellow. Which led me to the usual dirty splashy yellow and not to the clean finish I aimed at initially. Just imagine that it was (supposed) to be inspired by the Votann’s Kronus Hegemony scheme; see the result? Not that aligned with expectations. But I managed having some yellow. So here comes the crime against Votanns: a smash space dwarf with oversized jump pack and the biggest choppa I could have modeled from ooP plastic Ork sprues. Personalization went up to adding a smoky plume at exhaust (made out of steel whool - just in case you wondered about this dirty stuff behing the rokkits). It was far better looking BEFORE being glued. As it looks like it collapsed. It would have required a guiding stem inside the whool, pinned into the rokkit. But I will correct that in a couple of years , next time I will release this model from its storage box where it came from and where it has returned already. See you when I will have something more traditional to share.

Hi Folks, Long time no news, real life matters keeping me busy. And Winter's coming led to my hobby space being explused from the glass house. I am therefore back in the main room that I have to share with the living room TV in the background, dinner's table, which is also homework's table some times,... I therefore organized, or rather improvized, a hobby tray. Thank you shoe boxes: This has some impact on my productivity, mainly because light is poor and days are shorts. I still have somewhere some lamps I could set with extar cables, but for that I should cover my head with Indy's hat and dive into archeology in the crates left unopened since the moving 6 months ago. The Jokaero Challenge is progressing slowly. But it is progressing still My Rokit ejected squat with bigger choppa is probably going to be completed within a few days. Time is to move on toward all gold and brass ornements. And this is when getting enough light to pretend seeing what you paint may be relevent. Sicarians have been painted by parts. They are now ready to go to the final glueing. I have hesitated a long time between Ruststlakers and Infiltrators, but Infiltrators looked like they fit better with my play style. I however rarely see them doing anything punchy in games as my 5 cyborgs' strong units is generally crippled before reachng contact. So I have decided myself for reinforcing the latter up to 10 members with these new lads. Future will tell if it was a wise move or not. I have anyway seen the latest 30k Pilgrim Skitarii revealed this WE, and I wonder if these might be kit bashed in order to get a proxy ruststalker using all thes transonic blades and chord claws that I have left from the sprues. Wait and see the molded sprues... And may be these Skitarii will not be the only release? See you when Nov.' pledge will be completed
