Carlson793 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 TITH, I started a proof-of-concept for Skitarii Rangers: combining bits left over from my Vanguard squads with Victoria Miniatures Tannenburg bits (male and female Dress Uniform Torsos and Greatcoat Legs. Big issue is having to trim the collars and drill out the necks so the thick-necked Skitarii heads will fit. Curious to see how that's working. Any photos? Well, a big snag resulted in a slight change to the plan: the female torsos are too narrow to take the paired Ranger arms without green stuff work beyond my skill level. They can, however, if you don't mind a slight gorilla-isa-ness*, take Secutarii Hoplite arms. I'll be throwing up the rest of the squads here as they go. *As soon as I said it, memory of music from my it's-not-a-misspent-youth-if-it-was-worth-it youth kicked in. Second time Dead Milkmen have been triggered this week... KBA 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totentanzen Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi Built another drop pod...2/7 done! Just kill me now... They're a bit dull, aren't they? It helps that I just glue them shut, but they're just such tedious models. I enjoy painting them but building they are almost as bad as the old school tyranid gargoyles 0.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Today in the hobby, I bought Fall of Cadia, the Empyric Storms cards and The Triumvirate box. Celestine Totentanzen and KBA 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabbas Sogalon Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Today I spent most of my day off freehanding the Eye of Horus on paper. Next step is to try it on some old shoulder pads. While preventing the snow from blocking my front door I also had time to curse the weapon options for a Terminator Praetor and realize that I'll never be able to use the words "Astra" and "Militarum" in the same sentence.

Halandaar Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 YITH I flogged off my Tyranid army and placed small Forgeworld order for airbrush paints and decals with some of the proceeds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lame Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 TITH I went into my local GW and built a Drop Pod I've had under my stairs for about five years and also bought a Skyhammer Tactical Squad - and built the Pod from that too. ...I want to slap the person who designed that kit, I never built that pod because of how much of an ordeal my first pod build years back was, they're every bit as annoying to put together as I remembered.

Perry Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 TITH purchased and assembled some Mechanicus Electro Priest Corpuscarii. Most people don't bother with them, but the idea of giving them ago is getting more appealing, especially when you unleash the electric canticle. 5 assembled, 5 more to go, very fiddly models and surprisingly lanky, taller than a mk3 marine, but they look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RikuEru Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 ...i was gifted the Imperial Triumvirate and Gathering Storm (+ Cards). I went to the GW, to grab something he ordered for him. Storemanager gave me the Landing Pad he ordered and then one of those big gift boxes, saying this was for me. I unpacked it just now, when I was home. I'm... close to tears. It's not like I reeeeaaaally really wanted this or somesuch. He just gifted me this to cheer me up a bit. Wow...

Brother Sefiel Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 GreetingsFinally completed Celestine and her escorts today, just in time for that Kill-Team game next Tuesday...Oh well, I'm sure I'll be able to field her on Thursday instead.Then started doing more on my Red Wolves Prometheus, and found that I'd stuck the roof section on without fitting the headlights first. After some annoyance, and finishing painting the lights, I managed to tease them into position.Leaving it for a while, went back to the Black Knight that I'd stopped working on some time ago. It actually looks vaguely okay, so I'll spend some time on it tomorrow and probably next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also got some free liquitex black and white acrylic paint she was giving away. Bought a copy of Betrayal of Calth - no minis - just tiles, dice, rules and cards for $13! Plan on using it for some special projects. Slowly getting back my hobby time a few hours per weekend! paulJam 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Bannon Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 TITH I got about 2 hours closer to finishing my Loth model - the basement is so cold still so my time with paints is limited. I also settled in my head that I do not like the current Thunderfire Cannon. So, I started looking for alternatives - something less bulky yet still "cannon"-y.
