Bouargh Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Today in the hobby I resumed hobbying after moving. I have lost my hobby space and am reduced to using the dining room table when available. But my wife decided to feed my addiction with a painting and hobbying tray.

TheArtilleryman Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) … received my artillery crew from Battleprints. I think they look awesome.

TheArtilleryman Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) … I also started putting together the Battle Systems Gothic Cityscape with my son, that we got him as a birthday present. First time I’ve bought any of their stuff and it’s surprisingly good for all card scenery. It’s modular and can be built in a bunch of combinations, and all the windows can be popped out to shoot through. This is about 2/3 of the stuff in the box. There’s a bunch more walls and a whole load of barricades and scatter bits like crates etc. left. The mat is Combat Patrol size. Pretty neat I thought and good for small kitchen table games and for Kill Team.

Moonstalker Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Yesterday in the hobby I got together with some friends for a hobby day. They mostly put together models while I got going on painting. I'm focusing on trying to get my army for boarding actions finished up to a battle ready standard, for a game we're going to have in May when another old friend comes to visit. If I have any extra time I'll try and get some paint on the boarding action terrain, too.

Magos Takatus Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Today in the hobby I managed to freehand the tribal symbols on two units of Kroot Carnivores, a Krootox and my Rampagers. That is obscenely productive for me. I'm getting so close to the end of this project I can almost taste it.

Magos Takatus Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Another TiTHI entry, today I finished the quills for my Kroot, redefined them using panel liner and added dried blood effect to the weapons and skinning knives. Just the bases and varnishing left to go. I'm excited to be so close to the end of this phase of the project.

Magos Takatus Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 TiTHI finally finished the first phase of my Kroot project.

sbarnby71 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (yester) today in the hobby - nah that sounded better in my head! I put together 2 thunder wolf proxies. And the day before that I did this pack leader thunder wolf proxy (I know I'm cheating here!).

Viridia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 YITHI visited the B&C for the first time in three years (did not realise it had been that long!). TITHI assembled a veteran sergeant using one of the Tortuga Bay Mk6 bodies I ordered before the invasion, as I've struggled with finding an idea worthy of them. Their size makes them pleasantly easy to customise in a way that really fits the Astartes aesthetic imo.

Ace Debonair Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'm back, and I brought some friends. A mixed bag of slightly Dragonball-inspired Eldar Guardian Defender / Storm Guardian NPOs for Kill Team, leaving me with just the Farseer, Six Jetbikes, Wraithlord, Swooping Hawks, Fire Dragons and ten Striking Scorpions left to paint before my eldar are completely finished. Alright maybe I bought a few too many things there, but at least most of them were cheap with the magazines and stuff.

BitsHammer Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I've been working on Emperor's Children recently. The scheme is very pink with freehand planned for every mini, which means they'll be taking a while to fully paint but I think it'll result in something properly over the top for the faction.

N1SB Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Today in the Hobby I was playing DC Universe Online, then realised I was still playing Warhammer: Brother Henry Caville was the Man of Steel, so I can talk about playing a DC-related game. In this DC game, you create your own hideout, one of mine is the bridge of some spaceship. I was trying to create this war room with this battle display table, it's supposed to be holographic, but I just clip together different things like this sculpture of floating spheres with the table to make like some sort of planetary map. It's a MMORPG, I'm roleplaying. I just found this floating Thanagar ship (that's the planet Hawkwoman's from), so I added it over the table. Then I realised I got a table, I got terrain, I got a giant Flyer miniature...wait, I'm just playing Warhammer again.

BitsHammer Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Well that's one down (minus the basing) still a bunch to go. And yes, my plan is to put some kind of obnoxious fur print pattern on every single model. Though if I do another Moot Green based zebra stripe scheme I'm going bright blue stripes next time.

Norman Paperman Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 (edited) This weekend in the hobby I bought the basing materials I need for my Tzaangor project. Had to order some muddy terrain from Amazon, but got the colour of tufts I wanted from a local. While I'm waiting, I've put the finishing touches on two projects from another setting which has been a nice little palette cleanser. On one of the dudes I freehanded some abs and I think they look cool as heck.

TITH I finished off my pile o' Tzaangors. Really enjoyed this bird boy project.They were awesome models to build, felt like there were hardly any mold lines to deal with, and then they took paint like a dream. I have a new airbrush which really let me bang out my base coats in no time, and then a bit of layering and key details and they were done. Total time for painting and basing was just under 15 hours. I kept track of my progress in a WIP thread (link).

Norman Paperman Posted Sunday at 11:59 PM Share Posted Sunday at 11:59 PM YITH I spent 5 hours on my infernal master to get him ready because TITH I played my first ever tabletop miniature wargame! A new friend through work invited me over for a game when he overheard me talking about painting my dudes. Been prepping for this for a few weeks, which is the main reason I just power-painted those 20 Tzaangors. The IM wasn't quite ready, his backpack and warp/screamers aren't even glued on, but he's recognizable and on a base, so Malevolent Entropy was ready to take on its first ever foe! Isn't his gaming setup UNREAL?!??! We played a 1000 point game, my Thousand Sons versus his Custodes. He's played a lot (I'm sure you can tell by the board!) but hadn't played much since 8th, so we were pretty wobbly with the rules. The most frequent expression was, "Oh, well would you look at that, my guy has an ability that would have killed three of your models two turns ago". And despite my utter newbishness, the dice were very seriously rigged in my favour and I shot nearly 40% of his guys off the board during the second turn, after which I cruised to victory. MVP of the match was my Forgefiend, who kept his Calladius Grav Tank occupied for three turns and shot up a Shield Captain on Jet Bike pretty badly before the Grav Tank finally won the firefight. I got to roll 37 dice in one go when I overwatched a squad of Wardens with a Rubric brick of Warpflamers. I think I did 2 damage because Custodes lol, but it was still a great time.

Congratulations on your first game and win! That table is genius… is it custom built or did he buy it from somewhere? I’m assuming it has a removable top for having dinner or he doesn’t have a partner Norman Paperman 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/445/#findComment-6104031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grailkeeper Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago (edited) Today in the Hobby I tried to use an unlock code that Warhammer+ sent out for blood bowl 3. Unfortunately someone had used it before me... but then a friend IRL sent me his code! Time to paint some luna wolves between scoring TDs I'm not sure if they have a "last night in the hobby" but if it counts then the answer includes spending way too long looking at Eldar runes.
