Viridia Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 TITHI used a voucher from the GW webstore and treated myself to the one and only Sevatar. I would have bought Sigismund if not for the fact he was out of stock, but Sevatar to lead my long-overdue Night Lords army is a worthy alternative.

BitsHammer Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Took me a few test minis to decide how to get a shade of blue I really liked but I think I finally got a Night Lords scheme I can be happy with and replicate consistently. And yes, it is a regular Terminator using a Contekar kit mixed with Tartaros arms. I originally built a squad of 5 back before the CSM book dropped but never finished them because I wasn't really impressed with the Night Lord style detachment and I am waiting for plastic Heresy bikes before I commit to a Chaos biker army.

lhg033 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 recently in the hobby.... I've been building my Aquilons for kill team and did the minor conversion/arm swap to have both 'special' weapons. This prompted a bit of a conversions bug that I havent had in years and I picked up a second copy of the warboss combat patrol issue and over the weekend I have been tinkering with that and the meganobz sprues from Prophecy of the Wolf from my pile of shame to see if I can convert a mek in mega armour. I even broke the greenstuff out for a few bits. Waiting on things to cure still before round two deathspectersgt7 and ggergnayr 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/447/#findComment-6117978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 So last night in the hobby, I demolded the press-molds (mould or mold... neither look right, both are right depending on where you are from.... not enough sleep! ) I made for the mek in mega armour arms, mainly I just want he elbow to write part.... ...and I found I'd mis orientated one of them entirely, like 180 degrees for each side. its a real shame as they had the detail perfectly! the other arm came out well. and I set up a new casting for the one that didnt work. I then decided as I had so GS left to see if I could loosely just sculpt onto the existing arms and with a bit of shaving down that may actually work anyway I'll add some pictures in a bit of the progress deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/447/#findComment-6118159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 TiTHI finished adding magnets to the replacement flying bases I made. I recently caved an bought a new 3d printer and so I bulk-printed my base designs for my Wave Serpent, Shining Spear, and later down the line my shroud runners and Vypers. deathspectersgt7 and The Yncarne 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/447/#findComment-6118826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonstalker Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Last few weeks in the hobby I've been slowly chipping away at my Space Wolves army box.

I can’t work it out it in my head… I'm not surprised, you were looking at the underside of the bases as the glue dried... which has discoloured the bases quite a bit. Will require some sanding. The base consists of the main base and a pillar, which has an acrylic rod inserted into it. I will then drill a hole into the model and insert the rod inside. The magnets are solely because my storage and transport cases have magnetic sheets so they keep the models secure in transit. I'm a bit fed up with brittle, flimsy flying bases, particularly on the Falcon chassis tanks so I simply made my own. The design is a little rough because I am completely inexperienced in Blender but I'm hoping to refine the design over time.

Lord_Ikka Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Today I ordered: Captain Ventris, Company Heroes, Leviathan Sterguard, and 4 Victrix Guard. Love eBay. Victrix Guard will be used with the two extra I have right now as a Bladeguard squad, while the others give me the last Ultra named character (don't need Sicarius) and two Tacticus captains (going to convert the Company Hero Ancient to a Captain as I already have an Ancient and I don't have any "regular" Primaris Captains, only Termie/Gravis/Phobos). Should be a decent group along with Bobby G to vow for the Call to Arms.

sbarnby71 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 TiTH: SW Head-Taker. Removed the knife and added a belt from the old SW kit. Added some extra rune stones. Primal Hounds chest decorations and removed the small wolf skull from the chest plate. Halberd from the AOS Chaos Warriors. Severed heads from the AOS Chaos Warriors (he is a Head-Taker!). Used the cape and back from a AOS Chaos Warrior and added some rough fur. The shield on the cape had 9 pointed star of Chaos, so removed that. Added a Daemon skull with a ball-bearing and some picture frame wire to show it being bolted in place. Helmet is a Hersey Era 3d print I got ages ago (will need to adjust the neck).

Urauloth Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It's too hot to paint, so I'm setting up for assembly until it cools off. Finally going to start building those Heresy Dark Angels.

Ace Debonair Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Today in the Hobby I finally bought and tested out some paint markers for doing chapter symbols and the like, instead of trying to do it with a brush. They're a lot easier to use, though I couldn't get any super-tiny-fine ones and had to settle for some 0.7 mm ones. They're still pretty good! Once I've got some more models painted up that actually need me to do symbols, I'll be ready to test them out. I also finally finished painting my Arbites kill team that I've been working on since April, so that's pretty good. No pictures yet though since my phone is a super potato camera from the dawn of technology, and I'll need to borrow a better one. deathspectersgt7, ggergnayr and Focslain 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/447/#findComment-6120792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Focslain Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 TITH (well yesterday), managed to pull myself away from Space Marine 2 long enough to finish off a squad of terminators and get started on the Dawn of War chapel barrack. I swear I understand the appeal of that game, but need to focus on painting right now. deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/447/#findComment-6121082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaede45 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Today in the hobby I: Spilled my Leviathan Purple onto my painting mat… which is cluttered with my unpainted & semi-painted mini bits… as well as my tools. Honestly, I should have seen it coming as I’m very prone to knocking things over. So now I have to figure out how to safely remove contrast paint from unpainted minis & my rubber mat… & my hands too… Viridia, skylerboodie, deathspectersgt7 and 1 other 1 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/447/#findComment-6121146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urauloth Posted Wednesday at 11:53 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:53 AM Started building my Mk.VI assault squad. Attempting a deep dive on the current lore for this mark of armour to see how much of it I can justify including in my Thramas-era 1st Legion. I wasn't going to use it at all, but I like the look of this kit too much with the combat shields. Going to try to make it look irregular, because it'll be a mix of early-issue suits from before they went into full production, whatever they can get from regional Forge Worlds, and replacement parts salvaged from the battlefield blackshield-style or replaced with hotwired components from earlier armour types. To that point, it turns out the (old?) Mk.IV pauldrons fit the kit perfectly.

skylerboodie Posted Wednesday at 01:45 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:45 PM TITH I finally finished building my Death Korps of Krieg resin heavy weapons teams, three of each of the five weapon types: At some point I want a box of the new plastic ones for the heavy flamer variants, but these have been quite the slog to build back to back so am pleased/relieved to get them all built! Just the Gorgon left from my resin DKoK to build (next), and then onto my Tyranids backlog for the rest of Q3 (which I'm excited to move on to - should be a nice change from the Imperium for a bit).

AvePicante Posted Wednesday at 03:08 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:08 PM Recently in the hobby I started learning how to use transfer sheets. I have dozens of them from all sorts of factions and never really used them before. Definitely adds a little flair to my units.
