Today on the hobby I started dancing after I was informed that bnc is back. Without this great forum sometbing is missing. Thx Argos for the effort and hopefully all will go well with your family

Greetings


Over the past few days I've reorganised my Deathwatch into themed kill-teams - one with plasma, one with melta, one with flamers, one with stalkers, one close combat and one generalists. This involved more than a few limb removals, but just about all of the gents are now restored to fighting condition!

I can now do any number of stupid combos, including a ludicrous 9 heavy flamer special.

Last night I played two 1250 point anything goes games against chaos, beating them both handily, thanks to the redoubtable Hammerman and some friends from the Deathwatch terminator cadre.

I was particularly gratified to destroy the knight that was the main feature of the second game, because I suspected that this was what our host had planned when he said there were no restrictions. In response I created a force specifically to be able to do some serious anti-vehicle hate (although I'd resisted the temptation to field four Land Raiders because I didn't want to punish anyone else for it). As someone who despises superheavies I was pretty appalled to see that (plus a Land Raider) in such a small game.

It was quite helpful that he advanced into assault cannon range in his first turn; I dropped a pod behind him and meltad the back of the thing, but only managed two hull points. The rest of my army (command tanks and three two-man squads of terminators - four assault cannon and two cyclones) also attacked it, and the remainder managed to take 3 more hull points after shield saves. Quite frustrating!

Somehow he managed not to kill any of my units in his first turn, and I was especially pleased that the knight didn't make it into close combat (although it did slaughter 4 members of Hammerman's command squad with its 12-shot stupid gun). The cyclones finished it in turn two, and I proceeded to crush him; he gave up when the terminators he charged with his last infantry unit (having just shot Khârn to death with their ACs) didn't die to his berzerkers.

TITHI... looked forlornly at my painting area, as it silently called to me, unable to follow my urge to sit down and actually paint some stuff!

 

It's funny how much stronger the painting urge is when you have other 'more important' *rolls his eyes* things to be doing. *Sigh*

YITH I finished off painting the sisters of battle squad I was working on. They're going to form the basis for my new kill team.

 

And...

 

TITH I gave a bit of tlc to the assault marines I picked up for cheap on ebay. They'd been battered and the paint was so thick it's taken over a month in some dettol to strip them. In that process a number of them lost arms and legs and all sorts so I've managed to salvage 12 of the 14 marines, re-gluing most of them for better poses and with a little help from my bits box 4 of them now also have magnetised weapon options.

 

On top of that I had stripped down an old 90's chaplain who now has 6 magnetised weapon options and magnetised backpack/jump pack. Had a very productive couple days :)

TITH I went to the doctor and found out I'm sick with an actual virus. At least I know my overall health isn't deteriorating at a rapid pace culminating in me ending up as a pile of goo by year's end. So, all in all, good times :mellow.:.

 

I did manage to not ruin some Death Guard whilst priming them the other day and so I set about covering any missed spots that didn't get fully white with Ceramite White. The only problem is that my paint was dried together. There were some white, er, remnants (?) in the pot and, mixed with the medium that was left in the same container, I was able to get some really runny Ceramite White onto my palette and then onto a model. Bleh!

TITH I officially finished the Predator I was working on and posted pics in my thread. Then I set about prepping more resin bitz for future projects. THEN I started putting black paint on my current project: a demi-squad of Tactical Marines.

 

I think I need a new basing style because what I have now is tedious and a bit frustrating, even though it looks good ... when it works. And it's a lot of work to make it look good. Maybe I'm getting old, but I just don't care *that* much anymore.

TITHI Finished doing all of the legion and squad marking transfers on my three 16 man legion tactical squads, three 6 man legion support squads, two contemptors, five locutarus and ten cataphracti terminators.

 

Eighty three models done in one session, my eyes are bleeding too much to do the rest (ten breachers, spartan, fire raptor, a pair of quad mortar crewmen, a few characters and another contemptor) of my XIII legion guys tonight.

 

Next I plan on doing some khornate bikers or some more deathwatch.

Today in the hobby, I've been eyeballing the Sevrin Loth mini and wondering how he'd look as a Word Bearer Librarian instead of a Red Scorpion. I'm also currently waffling on whether my Cataphractii Legion Praetor would work better as a Word Bearer or Ultramarine.

 

EDIT: Also, today I finally received my Volkite Chargers and Word Bearers upgrade pack! Time to start on a Cataphractii Choom squad, and some WB Vets/Artificer Armor Sergeants!

TITH I finally finished my entry for my local GW's birthday painting competition tomorrow, pretty pleased as I haven't managed to paint anything in a couple of years. Unfortunately many of my old paints are dead in the water (including all my whites and edge paints) so highlighting took one for the team, among other things. Not my best work but it'll do for me.

TITHI... I... I went away from the Space Wolves. For now...
I finished De-DarkAngel-fy the Dark Angel Tac Squad from the Dark Vengeance box and primed them in standard mechanicum grey.
Then I painted the Sergeant up as a test model...
I'm very pleased. The very light grey skin worked out well, his tattoos worked out even better on it and the armor parts.
The shoulders have to wait, for now.

Behold, my first Carcharodon!

TITH I made some Centurions look right.

First phase of conversion inspired by Brother Lamenter (http://masterofthefo...urion-tutorial/). Really fixes the height problem that makes the "MK1" models look so squat and less like the artwork which makes them look so formidable...

Added extra armor to leg fixtures and will be improving the cabling from the excessive and cumbersome arrangement which plagues the MK1.

Love that guy on the far left, that's just perfect. I'm actually curious as to how they scale up against a Dreadnought now,,, hmmm... thinking.

TITHI have been a busy boy:

 

4 Paladins and 1 GK terminator built

2 Strike squad GKs built

3 Purifiers built

10 Blood Angel tacticals built

3 BA sternguard built

Sanguinor conversion finished

Bits tidied up

 

Now....time to hit the backlog of building stuff!

Tith I may have finally come to terms with the fact that GW is steadily pricing the hobby out of my life.

 

40 bucks for 10 dudes in GSC vs 29 for 10 imperial guardsmen? I sincerely hope they don't issue new cadians any time soon... or I'll just ditch the whole project.

 

 

I did paint a little of my ancient terminator librarian... trying to spread a little imperial fist yellow over the model without being garrish.

Double check your location, sometimes I get the AU or NZ pricing and then fail my leadership test and flee.

 

Today in the hobby I finally got my first penitent engine and GOT TO WORK!

TITH,

I made complete inventory of my grey plastic pile of shame.  Since everything is in storage, thought it would be best to list everything as a reminder to myself.  " I don't need to buy anything till I finish painting what I have."  :censored: stuppid genestealer cult release.
