Reldn Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 A bit late to the party on this one, but, today in the hobby I finally purchased the Terminator Chaplain. Thankfully in metal and not finecast.

Kobrakei Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 YITH I finally found an easy, great looking way to paint skin. Only took me about 15 years. I don't even know who I am anymore How rude. Recipe, dude. And I JUST bought three paints for skin, so your recipe better consist of Ratskin Flesh, Reikland Fleshshade and Kislev Flesh. You are allowed to throw in Pallid Wych Flesh and/or Screaming Skull and white, of course. Or just tell me what you actually did before I paint all my Deathwatch dudes. I'm so used to pale Raven Guard skin at this point I've lost touch. You're in luck! I used to base flesh with Bugman's Glow, wash with Fleshshade and highlight up, but hated how dark the recesses look. So I just based with Cadian Fleshtone instead. You do need a few coats, but washing that with Fleshwash, re-highlighting with Cadian and then a final highlight with Kislev works so nicely I can't believe I didn't try it before. It's the simple solutions that work the best! If you base with Kislev it'll be a bit lighter, but you can highlight with Pallid Wych for a paler tone.

marvmoogy Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 TITHI unpacked my latest set of reinforcements in the form of.....Deathwing! 20 Termies, 5 DWKs and 2 contemptors. In other news, this means I now have filled 2 Ikea Detolf cases....so, looks like I'll be buying a third next month.

Ace Debonair Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Today in the hobby, I finally finished painting the Warp Talons I bought two years ago. Not exactly my usual fast-paced approach, but I think I went too far the other way!

Viridia Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 TITHI picked up the Volkite Culverin and NL etched brass from my local store after the manager brought it from Nottingham for me, and started typing up some of the notes I had for 'deviant' armies for the HH.

Reldn Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Today in the hobby, I finally broke my analysis paralysis on Betrayal at Calth by purchasing another set of Veteran Tac Marines from ebay to serve as extra Heavy/Special weapon bearers. Hopefully this weekend I'll be picking up a second BaC box, fully boarding the Heresy Train and starting a 30k Word Bearers army... Then to just decide between Salamanders or Ultramarines (shocking, I know ) as my next 30k project. EDIT: I also went ahead and bought the Age of Darkness Army List book today.

BadOmen Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Today I have begun to dismantle and strip some more of the older minis that I have owned or acquired in the past. Today's chosen for the Stripping Chamber are: a metal Cypher (minus the plasma arm), a space marine 'Chaplain on Bike' chaplain, and a Tallarn Sergeant. The last components to get stripped where the 5 Deathwatch Helmets and Bolters from the 2001 Deathwatch minis. Which sadly I cant include in an ETL as I just couldnt wait to paint them up.

Reldn Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Today in the hobby, I did manage to purchase another Betrayal at Calth box. First box will be assembled as per the game itself: Ultramarines vs Word Bearers. The second box will be pure Word Bearers. I also finally have all of the Marines from Deathwatch: Overkill assembled, and almost have the 6th, and final, Tac squad done for my Blood Drinkers.

Viridia Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Just finished building the Volkite Culverin for my Contemptor. The Choom, it is real! Opened the NL etched brass and bent into shape some of the damaged pieces, had to tug apart some of the lightning templates since they hadn't been fully cut out, but they're okay now. Dabbling with my work on updating the Battlescribe catalogue for the Age of the Emperor fandex and possibly doing 'historic inclusions' for the old Daemonhunter/Witchhunter codexes if that'd entertain anyone else as prone to armylisting syndrome as much as I am.

Dosjetka Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I was notified of the arrival of a large package with "books". I thought it might be the Eisenhorn hardback collection I ordered last Friday but when I saw the packet it looked too flat to hold the case that comes with the three books. Opened up the box and remembered that I had ordered these little beauties: I got two posters with the bundle, both double-sided: the first one has a huge inked map of the Badab Sector and on the other it has the colours of all Chapters involved in the Badab War. The other poster has Ancient Kleitor (by Karl Kopinski) on one side and a star map of the Badab Sector on the other. All of that cost me Machine God, Carlson793, Aias and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/169/#findComment-4355554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Today in the hobby, I worked out how many Sisters models I have to vow for ETL. It's a lot more than I thought. Of course, there's the time leading up to and during the event where I'll no doubt buy more. I think (assuming that I don't burn out or have real life issues like I did last year) it'll be my biggest vow yet (not quite on par with totals from previous ETL's though, but if I recall, my Rainbow Warriors from ETL II or III, totalled 1.8K! ) It will also be the start of my 1K per official GW Sisters Order project, not to mention the start of my second DIY Order...

Aias Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Today, I forgot to bring my current project with me to work so I couldn't continue on my second Heresy tactical squad, but instead I began the sad yet necessary task of selling my IG. Trying my local group first, then I'll try a little further out, and then eBay, I guess. Would love to keep them, but my resin addiction needs more monies, yo.

Dragonlover Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 TITHI continued the great despruing. I thought the end was in sight, but then I remembered the remains of my Betrayal at Calth box. That is gonna be dull as hell to sort. At least it'll be easy I guess.

SickSix Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 TITH I wrote my first (very)short story.
