Hi Folks, As some may have read in my previous entries (in this Blog or another) I've moved from my previous location to a new one a couple of months ago. It has been a big opportunity to sort out all bitz, spare parts, unassemnblied, unpainted and unboxed stuff I had in my numerous closets and crates. As my journey to clean my Pile of Shame started during Lock down, I sincerly though I had done most of the job already. Most maybe not in reality but a serious part surely. Here is what's left: Lots of tiny Marines and Squats from ooP Epic - I made a aborded attempt at painting some and I should resume it. It is a big part of the job. I may eventually use this as a test terrain for my kid as she looks like interrested into spending time splashing paint on stuff. With a IF coulour scheme selected and the power of Contrast paint, she might do the tiny soldier in series may be? Not GSC. I made a mistake - I ordered twice some GSC kits I palnned to use as a base for kitbashing my own AM Regiment. I've already done some but I still have 30 boyz to do. And as I DO NOT play GSC, what am I going to do with the Magus, the Hybrids and these 10 Metal Spore Mines I recovered from... I do not know where. AdMech - I still have 3 Serberys, 5 Pteraxii and 5 Sicarians waiting for love. But I need to repack paints first. SOme remains of my last Patrol box plus a reinforcment unit. Yet I feel like I might buy more stuff. I am no cured yet. These Skatros and Axiarch models are damned tempting. And I would not spit on a couple of Sydonian Ballistarii or another Dunerider neither. Kill Team - NL CSM. Enough said. This team from the Nightmare set is still on sprue. I bought Dark blue paint but I am not convinced by the colour. So any argument worths for not starting them. I guess these are a very good candidate to be swapped with another hobbyist. I'll have to work on building a local network in my new place. Aeldarii - This is probably the oldest Non-WFB models I have in my pile of shame. Many ooP guardians plus some more recent Scouts, Shroud runners and KT Corsairs. I planned a lagalization of my Saim-Hann army a while ago and these were there in order to expand my gaming capacities with more units, in order to reach a satisfying base for unit selection and a little bit of variety. Yet these are into the Pile for more than 2 years now. I have the plan in mind for a while now. If I made my maths properly, with the spares from the Scouts and deathshrouds + the Voidscarred sniper, I can kit bash a second squad of 5 scouts. Then, the bitz from the special characters included into the Corsair kit might allow a Spirit seer proxy, a Warlock and probably a Skyleaper Autarch. And the rest for Corsair units, which might lead to 3 units, One 10 men strong with carabines and wraithcannon and 2 small of 5 that will go HtH with shredders. Kit bash tanks: a LR and a Carnaudon - Lots of plasticard job to be done on these that are done since first Lockdown. No progress since. Anyway, I do not even remind in which box I set these two... So as you see, there is a lot of work to be done and enough to fill a full hobby year or more. Probably more as I started working on WFB too, resurecting some Dwarves and alterning between Universes. Any excuse to keep some 40k stuff available in fact. Who said procrastination? But, let's be frank, I will probably keep on working on pointy ears, now that I am into this dynamic for a good month... And these tests I did for Scourge wings cannot stay unfinished for too long, can they? See you.
