Guest Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Finished putting together my 5th unit ever. I may spend too much time per unit, but no rush. I am finding that I am doing them faster, that may be because I know what to do or because I know what I want my units to look like now. I also decided I wouldn't be running my SW's all helmetless. I find that there is only ~12-14 unique heads and about 4 of those I really dislike. So i grouped them up and decided which ones would go to which pack. So 80% of my wolves will be helmeted. Before I hear outrage, it feels like if you werent a important character or a leader they would wear a helmet.

Space Truckin Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 The past 5-6 months in the hobby... Finished my new office/hobby cave. Well It's not completely "done" but I'm moved in anyways! Got some glue and sprues moved in already and plugging away on some xenos for Lost Patrol. Leaving the rest of my pile of shame in the attic till I get some shelves built. Yesterday in the hobby, wife picked up matching drapes for office...maroon and gold. I know what your thinking Pffft drapes who needs 'em.... real men squint! But the burgandy / red and gold is growing on me. Does this mean I need to start a new BA army? Or Custodes? Before: http://sinofdamnation.com/images/shared%20pics/office-before.jpg After: ( please note wife missing from the after picture! , it's mine all mine! cue devious laughter!) Still missing 40k / old Iron Maiden posters still in storage. Got Lost Patrol on the shelf so I can build a little during breaks / while uploading / compiling etc. http://sinofdamnation.com/images/shared%20pics/office.jpg Considering a Hobby blog / YT channel to funnel my hobby ADD. No gaming scene here so I'm wondering if it will scratch that 'itch' for not being able to play an actual game. Gave up on Vassal and Video games as I stare at those 3 screens 8-10 hours a day. Anyways enough jibber jabber - back to work for me! deathspectersgt7, paulJam and SickSix 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/203/#findComment-4557366 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt_Reaper Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 TITH I bit the bullet and painted my techmarine and some servitors red. Oh how I've been worrying about painting red.Turns out the red I use, when put through an airbrush, comes out pretty decent. Just needed two coats.

Gorthaur Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I for the most part nailed down how i'm going to base my BoP set, I might add some plastic card square tiles here and there. But for the most part I think i've got the basing down color wise, though there is some variation amongs't the board in the game. I will most likely do matte red for the thousand sons, as an entirely metallic model may look good in photo in person it doesn't quite hold up. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q194/InsaneDwarf/20161108_200644_zpsqzjqlh6b.jpg Space Truckin and BlueBelly1863 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/203/#findComment-4557843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Today I'm priming my prototype Dragoon. I'm not quite sure how it's going to turn out, but so far it's looking better than expected.

treadhead Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 (edited) TITHI Base coated the first sixteen (10 veteran tacticals and 6 tactical supports) BoP mkIII's. Magnetized fifteen (2 six man tactical support squads and the veteran tacticals sergeant and special weapon troopers) of them. Ordered two more BoP mkIII's and a pair of rad missile launchers off of eBay. Painted the sergeant for my veteran tactical squad purely to try out the white face plate and see how it works with the rest of the force. Also did the first blutak assembly / posing tests of the custodes. Which when I finish painting all of that will put me on about 6k points worth of the XIIIth legion it. This was meant to be a small force, Oh well you can never have enough smurfs NITHI Shall do the other six support squad members base coats and eight (hurry up eBay parts sellers post me my goodies) of the ten man destroyers squads base coats. Then i plan on relaxing with a nice glass of whiskey Edited November 10, 2016 by treadhead Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/203/#findComment-4558617 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickSix Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 TITH I glued a MKIII and MKIV marine together. I also glued the rest of my robed DA veterans on some bases so I can start painting them. Oh and I (hopefully) repaired some DV tacticals where the knee paint peeled off after using liquid mask. Should be able to repaint their knee pads tomorrow.

Viridia Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Picked up my copy of BoP on Thursday, along with Shadow of Ullanor. Loving all of it, especially the Custodes and Null-Maiden figures, even if I am a little puzzled over the choice to split the MkIII's powerplant into two parts. Just need to find some good boarding shields and I can be on my way to making the Malphaz, even if 30/40k is taking a bit of a backseat as I dive into the world of trying to do a GitS skirmish game. On the subject of SoU, I can't help but worry that it was a little rushed in terms of actually dealing with the Beast, and I think they missed a trick with some aspects of the Beast. (Namely, where have the other sub-Beasts gone?) Also, Vangorich, you magnificent b...lasted heretic! Definitely one of the best evolutions of background fluff to a real character I've ever seen.

Isolia Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 YITH and TITH I finally got to start my Knight Penitent project , a kind of halfway girl between a penitent engine and an imperial knight titan, who used to pilot a knight, and through some mishaps ended up aaaaaangry at herself and turned herself into an ever-repenting murder machine . Also got to update the wip thread accordingly and to catalogue all the female models of current gw products for sisters of battle conversions in the corresponding forum here , since I had listed them for the knight project anyway :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/203/#findComment-4561039 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Today I managed to finish painting the mount for my Dragoon kitbash project before heading out for a business trip.

Gorthaur Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I managed to glue a few backpacks and terminator pieces together for the BoP set, I must say I am a bit overwhelmed with the 40+ marines I must assemble. And I paint in sub assembles so I have a lot of models that don't even look finished. I generally keep the heads, shoulderpads, and left arm off space marines for painting. The backpacks in two seperate pieces is such a pain, and you have to fill the gaps somehow too because such an obvious line in the top of a backpack that is facing right at you as you play the game is unacceptable. So its time to get another little pot of liquid greenstuff for that nonsense. I've got a long way to go before I can begin to prime the models black and get going. And then when I finish this, I have to finish building and painting DW overkill and then buy the new blood bowl.

Lephisto Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 TITH, I wrote down more of my Index Astartes for my own custom chapter. Jotted down what I needed to buy to bring my force up to 3k points. I decided that I want a 10 man squad of Sanguinary Guard but kitbash them and make them different. Decided to purchase also the Sicaran Battle Tank.

NovemberIX Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Today in the hobby, I lost my damn mind, I am days away from completion on project +[Redacted]+ until I got a wild idea. I'll convert it I said, it'll be cool I said, it'll show utter dedication I said. Then I started the cutting, and it became clear this was a much bigger endeavor than I had anticipated, but in for a penny, in for a pound!

Knight of the Raven Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 And I'm sure those naughty people would bitch like nobody's business if someone stole sales from them by bootlegging their works. Today in the hobby I bought the softback Tau Empire codex. And it apparently pleased the Greater Good very much because I had to wait much less time than usual for my buses.

Reldn Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Today in the hobby, I decided that my first Burning of Prospero box (aside from the SoS, Custodes, Geigor, and Ahriman) is to go entirely towards my Word Bearers. Still wondering what exactly I'm going to do with the Tartaros Termies, however.

Knight of the Raven Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Also learned that apparently Warseer is coming back. Not really sure how to feel about that. I've read it was a shadow of its former self after the first attack, so it's likely to make Iyanden look densely populated after its second comeback. I liked the plogs personally.
