Today in the hobby I....

Gederas, Warriorhunter, lookin' right good with them, dudes!  Heh, can't wait to see that kill team all done up Gederas, mate. 
 
RobWrath, the offering of blood to the blood god is mandatory on all modeling projects.  My Reavers have also claimed the same requirement, blood oaths must be made. 
 
In other interesting-ish news, I bought my first marine hero box and got mister plasma gun, so that's kinda fun and cool (I want mister tossing grenades at random but that's fine), and haggled real reaaaaal good.  I've got dibs on a friend's unfinished Heresy infantry army that he's bringing up by giving him the express guarantee that it'll be going towards building a brand new Luna Wolf army, a demi-company to start out and a full company in time.  So, now I need to figure out what I'm gonna do for a basing theme to compliment white.

Yes, there must be blood.

 

In other news, TITH I realised I spend too much time converting models and too little time painting them.

(Unpainted models on the left, painted models on the right).

Much as Blood Bowl is fun, folks, please remember that it takes place in an "alternate" Warhammer Fantasy world and as such is outside the scope of the B&C.

[RobWrath]

That never occurred to me!

Noted.

[Vykes]

Yep, that'd be the one I was thinking of.  -laughs a bit- I don't venture over to the mutant part of the board that often, so it's bizarre to hear 'we don't like yer Kind 'round 'ere, stranger!'  What a strange strange strange kettle of fish this is.  I feel lightly salted and more than a bit confused, like finding out humans are supposed to have a sixth toe. 

 

-shrugs- whatever, today in the hobby I'm testing out metallic colours schemes for Alpha Legion and Emperor's Children.  It's less fun than it sounds.

On the subject of 'Other Games', I got bit by the hobby bug again and snagged four AI Tau Tigersharks for a very reasonable price off eBay. An early Christmas present for myself  Will be my first time ever working with resin, but I'm looking forward to getting them painted up for some dogfights in the new year~

Remember that resin dust does bad things to your lungs, so if you saw or sand it, wear a mask.  Ask your hardware store (or internet) for what sort of mask you need.

tith worked on something other than Space Marines.

[treadhead]

TITHI Got primarnius calgar and the new chapter approved in the post, Worked out that i have around 1300 points worth of sisters of battle, Resisted opening calgar as he's a Christmas present from my nephew and niece (they just don't know they're giving him to me yet ) and have started seeing what else I can squeeze into my 2k custodes list

 

YITHI Went through my paints and found two of the old tall pots of shining gold which are still viable so it's back to painting my custodes for some extra shiny highlights

[RobWrath]

TITH I ignored my own advice and carried on building an exalted champion for my warband. It's one of those conversions where no two parts that I've joined together are from the same kit. I.e. the front of his armour is from an AOS bloodcrusher kit and the back is made of the FRONT of a normal CSM. He's carrying a HUEG battle axe (counts as Power Axe) where I've cut and rejoined a couple of different axes so that he's holding it double-handed across his body, executioner style.

 

I also did a bit of painting on a small squad of Chosen.

[TheHaplessHeretic]

Today I started work on some traitor guard, got 4 boxes of easy to build Cadians and 20 Skitarii ranger heads, will try to get pics when all 20 are converted up :)

[RobWrath]

TITh I started assembling this guy. World Eaters/Khornate Exalted Champ. Not sure about the head - thought about adding a row of spikes to the top of his helmet like a Chaos Mohican. 

Spot the parts!

 

[treadhead]

@RobWrath: maybe try a reiver half skull face mask on him if you've got one ?

as for the guess the parts mini game, left fore arm chaos biker

going first means i can snag the easy one

[Kinstryfe]

TITHI painted a death jester, and had a game fall thru.

 

Spot the parts: axe head I think is from an AoS bloodzerker dude, as I think are the legs. Head is a standard csm I think, and backpack I know I have somewhere but can't for the life of me place...

TITHI ordered a Noise Marine and finished building my other christmas present a Repulsor ... either it was because I was super tired, bad lighting, I used super runny glue or I just suck at building the Repulsor but it was way more messy than I was expecting so I had to fill some gaps with greenstuff afterwards and the gunner isn't sitting completely straight :facepalm:

 Somebody get this man 50mil of Geneseed and Power Armour stat!

I've heard a LOT of people having issues with the Repulsor. It makes me dread getting mine.

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I made a home for my drop pod in my KR case as I'm done painting and sealing.

[Carrack]

Last night in the hobby I painted the lead belcher and runefang on my black legion foul blightspawn. That makes 3 nights painting this week. :) Edited December 22, 2018 by Carrack

[Phantomzero17]

TITHI am working on a Nightscythe and Sunshark for my opponents as Christmas gifts.  Picked up a box of Dire Avengers and a chaos rhino as well.

[treadhead]

TITHI Painted ten tartaros terminators in glorious smurf blue, they might not be great on the table but I do like the models

 

YITHI Added up the points for all of my sisters of battle including the arco flagellants and some other bits and bobs now comes to 1414 pts, find myself wondering what i could add to make 2k, ah the dilemma wait for the new releases or add an allied detachment

 

Any thoughts on what i could add allies wise ?

Good call on the Reiver mask - that'd look good. I don't have one though.

 

I think the left forearm is from two different berserkers actually.

Only the upper legs are AoS, the lower legs are power armour. 

 

The axe is spliced together from a couple of weapons - I needed to cut and join in a few places to get the length right for it to be held 2 handed. 

 

The backpack is from one of the easy to assemble Death Guard marines. I liked the spikiness. And the banner pole is AoS again.

Christmas in the hobby I'm a little floored.

 

I don't often get much hobby related except from one Uncle who plays and occasionally something from a friend or opponent. Among various family members/friends I got a dremel, an air brush gun, cleaning kit for the air brush, a respirator, the Lieutenant from Wake the Dead, a Black Templars purity seal, and by the Throne of Him on Earth a legit FW Storm Eagle (from a friend who doesn't even play, he just got my old IT job when I quit to join the Sheriff's Office). Edit: Apparently also the GW Ugly Christmas sweater.

 

Also gave out my opponents Christmas gifts.

Yeah, same here. I normally don't get much hobby-wise, but that little GW Gift Guide helped me get Blackstone Fortress and a set of Kataphrons from my parents.

 

So yea, Christmas in the hobby I'm gonna be working on those after I get home :lol:

[Axineton]

Got a couple of amazon gift cards but was hoping for gw ones but anyway TITH with my gift cards I purchased a space marines start collecting box and it’ll be here Saturday I believe.
