TITH I planned my five units needed for the gold Aquila in the Hidden Hands of the Emperor painting challenge in the RG forum.  If I can bust them out then I may shoot for the Flyer pip :tu: 

 

If I can get the sponson weapons from Kromlech, then I *might* go for the LoW pip.  Might.  It'll be a stretch though.

Wait... the hidden hands for the emperor topic is a painting thing? Damn, I never looked at it...

 

 

TithI felt like a space marine at work...

 

My earplugs are super effective and I noticed my foot steps sound massive in my head while wearing them and it reminded me of clomping around in thq's "space marine"

Today in the hobby, in the next step of my campaign to conquer all of Kronus, I surrounded the Eldar's last stronghold hidden among the frozen mountains of Tyrea. My forces fortified the three main webway gates which needed to be controlled to achieve victory and stood ready to hold the line as the Eldar tried to reconquer their sole link to their craftworld. Their headquarters were guarded by countless infantry squads, more fire prisms and wraithlords that you could shake a stick at and the Avatar of Khaine himself. A truly formidable force of Ulthwé, more than capable of keeping my Word Bearers at bay.

 

I only needed to remain in control of the three webway gates for ten minutes to win, and that'd be only a question of patience as the enemy attacked piecemeal. A piece of cake. I just had to wait for ten minutes.

 

...

SCREW THAT CHAAAAAAAEEEERRRGGEE!!1!

Today in the hobby, I've started to regain my interest in 40k with all the news and fanfare regarding 8e. I may even pick up the Box Set. Heh, I might launch back into my HH Word Bearers again and take a bit of a break from the other Miniatures I've been working on lately.

TITH I rediscovered a bunch of old metal Daemonettes in a box in my parents' basement. Bouncing and intense swearing followed. The funny thing is that I can't remember painting them.

 

Tomorrow's challenge will be to figure out what to do with the treasures.

2DA(Two days ago)ITHI received my bitz order from anvil industry, and had the willpower to not immediately get to work on them because I had IRL stuff to do (plus I need new brushes and superglue. Need more of both to get work done on the new stuff).

 

YITHI I had a flash of inspiration for a story involving primaris marines and my master of the forge, inspired by the anvil order I got yesterday, The blacksmith model is literally head and shoulders taller than a regular marine. imagine a primaris geneforged meeting a normal-sized (relatively) marine who is at eey-level with him. Outside his armor. I think it'd be pretty funny.

 

TITH I continue to work on the aforementioned story.

TITH I am this >.< close to committing my new Centurions into Heavy Bolter-packing, Hurricane Bolter-shootin' Devastator Centurions.  Although my meta is pretty diverse, the Ork news today is sure to have that army become relatively resurgent.  Then there is the rest of the galaxy to deal with.  The venerable bolter round, in it's many configurations, will be showering the skies across many skies in the foreseeable future.

Today in the hobby I've been wondering whether to buy POP Goes the MONKEY's iron-pattern War Hounds and troops shoulder pads for the two 'tactical assault' squads I'm planning to use the plastic mark III space marines for.

 

Too bad he's got not aquila-pattern World Eaters shoulder pads, that'd have been nice to provide some variety to the tactical squad I'm currently building and painting, seeing as I have only rimless pads available for them right now.

Today in the hobby, I started sorting through all my WB project sprues and realized that I have a ton of Mk. III and IV to assemble along with a lot of FW upgrades and Choom to go along with them. *sighs* I really need to get working on this crazy backlog of miniatures I have accumulated. Both HH/40k and other games.

Not much in terms of hobbyness.  

Anyways waiting to see Dark Angels Faction Focus on the WH Community -  I'm guessing the Chapters will be last.  

Drilled out a few bolters and found an old copy of  Dawn of War 2 -  yes you read that correctly TWO.  Installed it on my laptop to take on vacation to the States next month.

After years of waffling, I saw a thread here on B&C that made me FINALLY settle on a color scheme for my DIY Chapter (The Sons of Thunder) so I started putting together a Tactical Squad...

 

...and I had what I thought was a great idea!

 

In order to show my chapter's long and glorious history (and to mix things up a little) I decided to make up a couple of my Mk.IV marines armed with bolters from the Tac Squad.

 

30K armor with 40K bolters!

 

So far, I like it.

 

I think I'm a genius or something.

 

Once they get primed and I start throwing paint on them, I'll know for sure if it's as good an idea as I think it is.

TITHI debated what to do with the ten Cataphractii and ten Tartaros-pattern termies I have. I've got the Praetor Tribune in Tartaros, plus Steloc Aethon and the Primus Medicae in Cataphractii. I feel like I'm on some weird Terminator fixation, because I'm also doing up five BT hammernators. Don't really want to use all the HH stuff for my IF's or IW's because I've got fixed ideas of what I want to do with them in my head, and termies don't have a place in either. Could always do them up as Night Lords or maybe Sons of Horus I suppose.

 

Also manfully resisted the temptation to build my Contemptor-Achillus. The shiny must wait until the drudge of old iron has been finished.
