TITHI built up two of the Deathwatch Marines from the box I got last month, just gutted there isn't more options from GW in terms of different chapter badges, especially since I've never actually managed to do a transfer right and I can't freehand to save my life. Dithering over whether to buy a second BaC box too, since it's great value compared to individual prices for the units.

TITH I put the finishing touches on my Tactical Demi-Squad.  This means decals and done.  Likely Wednesday unless getting a haircut takes so long that I have to wait until next week to finish.

 

Admittedly, having not built a Tactical squad with the new sprue before, there was a learning curve that tested my patience a little.  In hindsight as I type, it may have been the fact that the sprues came to me from a source that was not the actual boxed set, so I had to "reverse engineer", so to speak.

 

Regardless, I think they'll turn out well and I hope to have pics up by Friday :tu:

ATITH . Put together another squad of Tac Marines . So I have 60 Marines 80 gsc and 20 Meatsacks IG to paint.

dss7 do you happen to have a group shot of all your chapters? i'm sure it would be a sight to behold.

 

TITH i postponed painting by any means necessary.

 

YITH I dropped a full pot of Nuln Oil... A large pot... On my models... It wasn't a good day.

That's not how you finish painting your marines? :wink:

 

In all seriousness though, sorry to hear that, were they (partially) painted or is it the loss of the Oil that hurts more?

 

 

A quick dip in water saved the models, more or less. It's all about the Nuln Oil man, it was a fresh pot! I curse those new pots, their length make them more likely to knock over.

Sorry I don't  . But I will see if I can get one of my buds with a better camera to take one. And clear a spot.

Quoted for truth. That's why I specifically asked my GW manager to sell me the last small pot.

You could always decant to the smaller pots from the bigger pots...

Today in the hobby I finished up building my Fellblade, two Predators I had partially built months ago, and began working on another tactical squad to make sure my 2nd Company is rounded out. I think I'm going to pick up a Calth box, Strike Force Ultima, and a Grey Knights kit so I can finish some projects in my backlog all at once.

Today in the hobby I read this hilarious line on dakka:

 

Fun story: I GMed a long campaign in Dark Heresy where, at one point, the PCs raided a genestealer cults holdout. In the center of the underground complex there was a daycare center... The players actually looked rather bothered when I rolled the pitiful saving throws for the pillow fort...

 

Makes up a little for the horrible discovery of Warhammer High...

Greetings

Yesterday my Red Wolves (Space Wolves) and Mechanicus-tithed marines (Deathwatch) teamed up with guard and Iron Hands to fight dark eldar.

I was left with one veteran, one lone wolf, one Land Raider and a Primaris Rhino, but we won.

Highlights included my 1-wound Lone Wolf with storm shield taking down a 1-wound talos after a couple of combat rounds, and another (without shield) causing Lelith Hesperax to turn and run from a challenge, resulting in her incineration by heavy flamer.

YITH my long time game buddy dropped by, been years since we rolled dice... we played an edition where there was no "psychic phase" (pha!!)

 

Instead we rolled some demo Epic, and it was good.

 

course i now have yet another starter army to make and paint but worth it. pity he will now be going OS for 2 years.

YITHI tore the arms off one of my captains to reoutfit him with a magnet for an array of weapons options.

Painted the last bits on my venerable dread and all built, half magnetised the special, heavy and sergeant for another tac squad. Oh and put together a couple missile launcher devastators for swap out options.

 

TITH I take the second company to battle. Random draw for opponents... Should be fun
