Vykes Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 TITH I finished my 4th ETL vow and am sorting through a morass of resin for the 5th. Finally got a proper Betrayal at Calth force painted up, though I won't get to use it until the weekend (fun little game).

You did that warhound in less than a week. It amazes me. I've been painting like it was a full time job and I'll barely break 3k for the ETL. Oh, and TITH I painted.

Vykes Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) -laughs- likely by cutting more corners and drying times than is wise or advisable, brother Fortis. And batch painting so I can nail a technique and get faster/smoother at it. But that warhound... ugh, it was cut schedules and massive overtime as I had nothing slated to do for a few days (bad weather, no outdoor work). I knew if I stopped, I wouldn't want to look at it again... ever. You paint well, brother! And you paint the accursed shade, all things are put into context in 'painting yellow'. And many thanks again! Tomorrow in the Hobby, pretty sure I'm taking a day off for the first time in I don't know how long.

thewarriorhunter Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 TITH I did something semi-related. I've been designing a storage container/dice tray for Betrayal at Calth. I'm tired of the components banging around in bags in the box. The container I'm making will hold all the components in it and serve as a small dice tray after I pad the bottom.

Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 TITHI continued work on my Libarian conversion as well as ETL work (painted my Annie barge, did some touch up on my scarabs). In the process of said ETL work I managed to spill half to two thirds of my (nearly full!!) pot of Drakenhof Nightshade on my desk. There went $3.75 of paint right there. *shrug* Que sera sera. At any rate I got a lot of work done. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/283/#findComment-5121607 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm super stoked about something like that Hmm, blast, I ran out of likes... first time ever. -makes a mental note for tomorrow morning- Here's the design I put together in Tinkercad: Hidden Content The base (red) is on my printer right now, should be done tonight and then I'll print the lid (cream). There is an UM logo on the backside of the base. I thought it was a nice touch to put the faction symbols on it. When it's done printing I'll clean it up, sand it down a little, and then probably give it a quick and dirty paint job. There are holes on the top and bottom where I'll put 3mm magnets to keep it closed. The cards and dice will all sit in there and the cardboard chits will rest on top of those. The symbols are arranged so that I know which way the lid fits. The box is 4mm longer in one direction, the eagle wings will always line up to the two sides that don't have chapter symbols. I plan on getting a bit of neoprene mat and lining the bottom of the base so it will serve as a dice tray when playing. I have a lot of printed terrain I put on the board to make it look more immersive so rolling on the board is usually not an option, and rolling on my table is loud and bouncy.

Vykes Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) That is a seriously awesome piece of work, Warriorhunter. The emblems on it are killer and good idea to use the spaces for 3mm magnets. The differentiation with the eagle wings is great as is lining the bottom of the box to roll dice (much like 40K, blasted dice do like trying to murder models). Seriously awesome stuff, mate! Hah, printed terrain eh? Great idea, too. Don't happen to got a link to seein' some devastation in progress do ya? Post Scriptum: TITH, I sanded down a bit of a Dreadclaw and looked at pieces for a Siege Breaker Centurion. About as close to 'no work' as I'll get until ETL is over.

Ovidius Incertus Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 TITH I primed FIFTY Kabalites, three Raiders and two Venoms. I'll add that to the 38 Wyches that are currently being painted. And then I'll look sadly at the 16 Reavers, two more Raiders and two more Venoms that are built but not primed.

thewarriorhunter Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 TITHI finished designing and printing the box for the Calth components. It fits everything perfectly, has a donated mouse pad in the bottom for rolling on, and takes 3mm magnets so the lid doesn't fall off in the box. When I finally get a compressor to pair with my airbrush I'll paint it up.

BitsHammer Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 TITH I started work on planning out a Renegade CSM army based around the poster boys of "jerkishness" in the Imperium: the Marines Malevolent. Basically it's a project where I'm planning to build 1-2 of every unit in the CSM book, though I'm still muddling about what to load out units with to take advantage of the Dark Raider rule (likely a lot of assault weapons). The problem I'm currently facing is translating the MM paint scheme into CSM. The extra trim on CSM demands something other than just painting it yellow (like the loyalist MM), and I'm stuck debating between purple (example here) or silver (example here). Both visually work, I'm just not sure if I want to lean towards a warmer over all color balance (with the purple) or a slightly cooler look (with a dull silver).

Reldn Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Today in the hobby, I'm coming off of my hiatus and focusing on expanding my Death Guard this time around. Now to just figure out if I should first purchase more Plague Marines, a Plagueburst Crawler, or two more Myphitic Blight Haulers for my return to Papa Nurgle's domain. .....That being said I am eagerly(and impatiently, I might add :P ) awaiting the Killteam faction focus for the DG.

Vykes Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) TITH I prepped my final ETL vow; too many terminators and not enough choom. @TheWarriorHunter, that Calth box is fantastic. Utterly fantastic, love'n it mate! Seriously, I totally love that. Gah, gotta make one myself then instead of just leaving it in one of my cases. Now... can it make my dice not roll blanks? Because that would be awesome after losing Sor Gharax in 2 turns. And that printed scenery is pretty boss, jealous man, I am.

Spaced Hulk Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 TITH...I scratched a very long standing hobby itch by painting this: Like a lot of older hobbyists, I've always had a soft spot for the Rogue Trader poster-boys, but this is the first Crimson Fist I've ever painted. Still a bit of work to do on him, but overall I'm pretty happy with the result. Very tempted to start a new army....

BitsHammer Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I picked up the start of my Renegade Marines Malevolent today: one start collecting Chaos Space Marine box and a Daemon Prince. Since I'm only planning on a single unit of Cultists to support a pair of CSM units I'm still mulling over wargear choices for my army. On the flipside, my paint scheme is has been worked out so it's more a matter of getting things into at least sub assemblies so the painting can begin.

Axineton Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 TITH I've been somewhat slacking in the hobby department due to the World Cup and an unusally hot summer in the UK plus I've had birthday parties to go to etc etc but I started building some Deathwatch Primaris and a few Ultramarines from a joblot of stuff I brought on ebay. Also it came with two Custodes which I've started assembling. I'll get back to my White Consuls over the weekend and hopefully this will get me back in the groove.

BitsHammer Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I finally started painting (DP still in progress, but he's close to done): Let's hope that the novelty of yellow CSM (and the chapter being a bunch of *bleep*-hats) is enough to keep me interested in this project unlike my usual habit of getting distracted/bored/ect and dropping a project early. deathspectersgt7 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/283/#findComment-5127751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
