Reldn Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 TITHI Prevaricated over even touching those pesky ammo feeds (dang you Reldn ) finished some more piping on mortarion glued him together, then spotted the bit's I'd somehow missed painting *laughs* Sorry about that! As for today in the hobby, I snagged some more Mk.III WB Pauldrons and now I'm waffling between which I start first: A full 20-man Tac squad or another Heavy Support Squad (10 Missile Launchers this time) ...I did not realize that I have this many Mk.III and IV Marines...

Viridia Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 YITHI undercoated five Tartaros terminators, and five Cataphractii terminators. Really pleased with the Averland Sunset and Mechanicus Standard Grey sprays, since it's the first time I've undercoated a model not using Chaos Black. TITHI am painting up one of those Cataphractii to get a WS scheme I'm happy with, and debating what to do with the Tartatos squad, either ordering a brighter yellow to go over the Averland, or start painting the rest of them. Also putting in an order for a load of paints and sprays, a replacement base for my Deredeo, and possibly the new Orlock gang.

BitsHammer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Lately in the Hobby (since this is an ongoing thing) I've been working on Scion count as conversions. And while the tighter plastic detail with better proportions is nice, the hands being molded onto the rifles is not. Basically it limits which arms and torsos can be paired together (like GSC and Skitarri arms don't work due to the shoulder width on the GSC torso, likewise the Scion arms have to be trimmed down at the shoulder connection to fit on GSC torsos and don't work on Skitarii torsos). Also I'm spending a LOT of time working out how to convert Yvrainne into an Oder Famulous style model to be my warband's Interrogator (using Inquisitor rules of course). This....won't be as easy as I was hoping it'd be.

Semper Fortis Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 TITH figured out a way to paint with a cast and bandaged arm and shoulder.:D :sweat: The old paint brush in the teeth trick? :D Seriously, hope you're doing okay. Go easy and give it a chance to heal. Us old folks mend slowly. And TITH I painted some more on that assault squad and their apothecary buddy. Almost done. Then I unpacked Dorn and checked him out.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) YITHI worked on my land raider excelsior. Need to apply another thin layer of gold to get base colors done, but then I’ll move onto details. Hopefully I can finish this thing before April (and the Rhino Primaris too). We’ll see.

Stoic Raptor Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Today in the hobby I learned that "super thin" super glue is not ideal for my needs. Despite great care, the stuff flows like water and basically made a terrible mess on the base I'd just nicely painted and the model I was gluing to it. :( The gel stuff may clog up often, but it never did this to me.

Race Bannon Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 TITH I shopped for a magnifying glass that can clamp onto the desk.

Reldn Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Today in the hobby, I am finally going to start on that 20-strong Tac Squad. Mix of Mk.III, Mk.IV, Phobos, Tigrus, and Umbra-Ferrox bolters along with some Word Bearer upgrades throughout. I'm also going to try and get these Gal Vorbak assembled again.

treadhead Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 TITHI Did some quick math and discovered that for £70 more I could spend 30 points less and carry one more custode Landraider 400 pts for £35 to £40 (I think) transports 5 (potms and better save with decent AT weapons and ok AP weapon) Coronus grav carrier 370 pts for £110 transports 6 (more wounds, worse save with ok AT weapon and slightly better AP weapon but moves faster) Sadly it's only one Coronus to a detachment, but it'll let me take my 2k list of custodes to 3k with just 3 models (Coronus, Landraider, an imperial f$*k ton of misercordias and a vexillus praetor) Also ordered two boxes of jet bike custodes, one of warden and allarus custodes plus Trajan Valoris himself, There's going to be so much gold my mini display shelves will look like Fort Knox #firstworldproblems Viridia 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/270/#findComment-5025872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
