Yesterday in the hobby I undercoated, basecoated, and started layering some stones from my garden for the base of my Contemptor dreadnought - the last model from Betrayal at Calth to go in my Iron Hands Taskforce project. They have to match with Agrellan Earth base paint, so I'm using Tallarn Sand as the main layer colour and will drybrush up with Ushabti Bone or something after an Agrax Earthshade wash.

 

I also undercoated a Thousand Sons sorcerer from the old finecast upgrade kit and started blocking in the gold parts with Balthasar Gold. I'll be using him as a test model for my next project, which will be Thousand Sons in the classic lapis lazuli and aged gold scheme (rather than the new "official" turquoise and pale gold scheme).

TITH I rejoice, for the forum is back up!

 

This weekend I half painted a Helbrute for my Call of Chaos vow, started on an Iron Warriors sorcerer and played two games, both of which I lost. The first was against a Primaris gunline so wasn't that much fun, but the second? The second devolved into a Predator taking potshots at things while two Rhinos harrased a Dunecrawler so it couldn't shoot the Predator. So damn funny, and in the end I lost by a point.

TITHI Have a victory to report, around 100 orks (including vehicles)  vs 15 custodes, 3 land raiders and a pair of primaris psykers, imperial losses two land raiders and three custodes

ork losses ninety odd models including all of their vehicles

 

By turn five he literally had the gretchin gun crew from a mek gun, a weirdboy and kaptain badrukk left on the table (forgive me if I've gotten the name of the flash git special character wrong, it's the one with the pirate hat and dakka gun of :censored:  awesomeness)

 

Ok i did make a mathematically impossible amount of 5++ and 6+ ignore wound saves for my land raiders and the custodes themselves but the custodes are just beastly in combat (one five man unit got charged by 27 orks and wiped it out in two rounds of combat for the loss of one custode to a power claw hit) I just wish we had a 40k HQ choice in our list that and access to our forge world goodies and I'd be almost tempted to retire my grey knights for a year or so:biggrin.:

 

Needless to say i sacrificed some bacon to the dice gods when i got home, they deserved it:wink:

TITH made a small-ish order to get into a new Chapter, in the hopes that doing something different might drag me back into the rhythm of the hobby.

Hopefully that order included rattle cans of primer! :D

Ha, no, I'm afraid not. Fortunately those are easily acquired, though, and seeing as I'll have to make a grocery run today, I'm almost certain to restock then. :)

Today in the Hobby I'm still working on my WIP Patient Zero: Chaos Daemons + Astra Militarum Artillery army, but I also painted this for no good reason:

While I was waiting for some Nurglings to dry, I was fixing my tape measure. It's one of those regular hardware shop ones. Had to take it apart, take out a thing that served no purpose but was getting caught in the tape, took off the wrist strap and the belt clip so we never use it on the tabletop.

One thing lead to another and I converted the tape measure into a Mechanicus surveying tool what with the cog and all.
