Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 TITH I began work on scratch building a jump pack from a regular power pack, a dead pen, greenstuff, and an old gift card. Hopefully it will look decent when I'm done, as it's going on my Shogun (CM). I also had to decide whether to commend DSS7 for having the cajones to sell all of what he did, or call him a lunatic for it. Haven't decided yet, but leaning towards the first. But still. Five marine armies, good heaven that's a lot!!! (Can't find a proper emote, so take this instead. o_O) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/240/#findComment-4767072 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reldn Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Tonight in the hobby, I finally started in on my WB Contemptor Dread...and never really got anywhere due to not knowing how I want to pose it! *laughs* This is my first FW Dread and I never realized quite how poseable they are.

treadhead Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 @Reldn: Blu tack is your friend when it comes to posing a contemptor (or indeed any model) you can pose it, then put it down, turn it round and take that all important step back with out needing minions to hold it in place TITHI Added some more forge world XIIIth legion pads to my heresy force, tweaked some poses on the new tartaros termies and ordered two of the 8th edition starter sets Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/240/#findComment-4767165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Over the last few days in the hobby I.... Built 25 Custodes and now have 20 primed. When they're dry, I'll prime the last five before giving them a base coat of Brassy Brass and hoping that the other golds I have ordered turn up today so I can get a move on with them.

Space Truckin Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 TiTH - coming to grips that i hate 90% of all the new stuff coming out. Yes I'm old and grumpy but not resistant to change...or am i? :( Anyways, my latest thought is that all the new stuff is going to be Marines Marines Marines, so if I just give up on Marine armies I can still manage to enjoy all the other armies that GW never updates - like Guard and Greenskins. Haven't touched much of anything hobby wise. Really trying to figure out if this is my bail out point and just enjoy the board games and video games from here on out.

I've often heard of using blu tack, but, for some odd reason I've yet to use it. I thought I had some somewhere around the house, but, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Looks like I'm gonna pick some up this weekend and get back to tackling that Contemptor! Today in the Hobby, I've mostly been perusing HH: Massacre and Tempest to see which Word Bearers Chapter I'd like to go with.

Canadian_F_H Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Yithi I worked on some ancient evil space robots... Working on models with no options for an army you aren't emotionally invested in is actually more relaxing I have discovered...

Reldn Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Today in the Hobby, I sadly had to hold off on getting the starter box for the time being. Instead, I got my pre-order in for the 8e rulebook and the "Dark Imperium" novel...Which then leads me to what am I going to do with two rulebooks once I'm able to pick up the box set? *laughs* Edited June 3, 2017 by Reldn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/240/#findComment-4769884 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBA Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 TITH I ordered the new starter box. I need to see those marines up close, and decide if I've only got a few years to wrap up my heresy stuff or if a primaris chapter is in my future.

Space Truckin Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Still holding off on painting any new marines till we figure out 1) How GW handle DA from now on. 2) What chapters GW will bring back so I can avoid them like the plague.

The Mad Hermit Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Ordered the softback version of Wrath of Magnus from the 'Last Chance To Buy' section (I want it mainly for the storyline/fluff) and the book for SW:A on Saturday.

Knight of the Raven Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Lately in the hobby I discovered what I disliked in plastic grey knights compared to the metal ones: their stormbolters' barrels.

BlueBelly1863 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 TITH I reorganized my Imperial guard collection, something that was badly needed. I also made some objective markers as a fun side project to get away from the routine of my Salamanders. Love them dearly, and this land raider I'm working on WILL be awesome, but I just needed a break.

Viridia Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 TITHI realised I have a problem. Not only did I pre-order Dark Imperium, because boy, would those Intercessors look good in Crimson Watcher colours, but I ordered a third BaC box. This is going to take me up to 150 marines from BaC and BoP, and 25 termies. Help. On the bright side, this now gives me enough to commit to my Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists, plus some spare for my planned Word Bearers.
