Montford Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 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. For 40K I got some more Dire Avengers to fill out my planned Brigade. AoS I got the General's Handbook and the only other gaming related gift I received was a platoon of Marder tank destroyers for Flames of War. I also got a couple of Amazon gift cards so I am contemplating Warp Spiders.

Vykes Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Well, Today in the Hobby, I just finished up a colour test miniature (aaaand airbrush blockage caused some massive splatter so meh). It was just a colour test for either some Emperor's Children or a Primaris chapter but I had some fun with it, and it was my first of the Heroes purchases but I ended up wanting to keep the masked helmet for myself so I stuck on an extra head I had around. thewarriorhunter, Dosjetka, Teetengee and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/303/#findComment-5224375 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 TITHI got a Redemptor Dread gifted and immediately build it so I can hopefully use it in a game tomorrow ... also some of the things GW marked as “don't glue“ in the manual are just ridiculous and impractical ...

thewarriorhunter Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 TITH I bought a pot of paint while my wife was with me. After looking through all the board games and different models and systems she said she'd like to paint up some Drukhari! I'm going to show her the units and then ask her what she likes the most.

Kinstryfe Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 TITHI decided, as I always do, that my latest Kill Team will become at least a 1500pt 40k army, my first Xenos army, the murderclowns™. I picked up some more bikes and a transport and started assembling everything. This confirms that I am a glutton for difficult paint schemes.

Montford Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Found an old Cherub from the Inquisitor box set from way back that I never painted, so I finished that today as well as a Space Marine Attack Bike.

Stealth_Hobo Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Today I picked up the paintbrush after a long break. I've been super busy lately not to mention I had some problems with my shoulder that was preventing me from painting. Also, I had some issues with motivation as I'm not totally feeling the color scheme I picked for my primaris, and now I'm doing a small diorama just for fun where I can test colors from different chapters. Should be fun. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/303/#findComment-5228118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atrus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Finally caved and bought CA18. In the end, didnt get it for the beta codex cuz i felt itd be a waste of money to get it for that when their proper codex will come out soon enough. Character creation, campaign exp, new missions and new cover rules made it totally worthwhile. Having fun making up rules for all the characters ive named over the years.

Kinstryfe Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 TITHI got in my first game of 40k in awhile, and my first with my murderclowns. It was actually 2v2 with it being both Harlequin players' first outing. Narrowly lost but had a lot of fun. Also painted 3 more Players to complete my first fully painted squad :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/303/#findComment-5229122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SB Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Today in the Hobby I visited a 40k friend who was in the hospital, recovery from surgery, bringing him the new White Dwarf. Should keep him occupied for a week. Also found the hospital food was all vegetarian...and it was pretty decent. I had vegetarian spaghetti bolognese. It's like I ate a paradox.

thewarriorhunter Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Gedaras I can't wait to see that with paint on it! I love scratch built bases, especially when you get to see them transform. TITH I primed up a few models for my wife. She told me she wants to try her hand at painting minis since she likes painting on canvas. I'm looking forward to seeing how she does/likes it. I also took her with me to a game store last week when I successfully only bought a single pot of paint. She liked the look of the Drukhari and conveniently I have a friend who failed to sell his army. He's going to give me a few unpainted models from that so she can also try painting up something that she likes the look of (our test models for today are cultists from the Frostgrave range and she's not thrilled with their looks).

Gederas Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Gedaras I can't wait to see that with paint on it! I love scratch built bases, especially when you get to see them transform. Likewise Though, I'm thinking I might need to shorten the walls on the rubble, as I'm worried they'll be too tall with Sammael's jetbike perched on them. Ah well, I'll figure out on Wednesday when the Sammael comes in. EDIT: Just did a mock-up of how I plan to have Rogziel's bike attached to that base, using a Custodes' jetbike I need wait until Wednesday to see how it'll look with Corvex atop the wall, but I think I'm onto something.

El_Dicko Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 TitH I was disappointed as hell to find out that Wayland Games blew it on my preorder and is refunding the cost of my Noise Marine. I went to the local wahammmer store and games workshop store and both were closed. One emailed me back that they’re sold out so I imagine the other is too. I also tried Battlefield Berlin and while they didn’t have it Slaanesh did smile upon me with the chance to pick up three of the new Fiends at a very nice price. I’m now ordering Wrath and Rapture so I’ll have an even 6 of the evil critters.

Vykes Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Niiice Gederas, lovin the custom base (always great to see those little wall bits) heh, I rather like the scaly pup there honestly and yeah, definitely can't wait to see what Sammy's Jetbike will look like on there. I've only ever seen it in comparison to the Scimitar jetbikes, not the Dawneagles or whatever the golden boys stuff is. Seriously rockin' it mate, can't wait to see it all done up. Ouch, real sorry to hear about that pre order butcher job, El Dicko, mate. Genuinely does suck. I mean, the Rapture box is all well and cool but that Noise marine... well I won't say more. Alright, Today in the Hobby, I'm champing at the bit to get started with my new Legion project but can't until the shapeway pauldrons come in. But in the meantime, I'm thinking of ordering up a pair of Cerberus Heavies, or just up my game with another primarch project. Beyond that, I primed a Cortus-Contemptor and am now waiting patiently for it to cure. Bit of a ballpark question for anyone with regards to aesthetics: given that legion rotor cannons are basically unseen, could I get away with using them as assault cannons for my Blood Angels?

Bit of a ballpark question for anyone with regards to aesthetics: given that legion rotor cannons are basically unseen, could I get away with using them as assault cannons for my Blood Angels? Corvex is slightly shorter than a Dawneagle Jetbike, as seen here by this conversion by Brother Bish: http://chamber42.com/blog/wp-content/grand-media/image/Sammael-Jetbike-11.jpghttp://chamber42.com/blog/wp-content/grand-media/image/Sammael-Jetbike-13.jpg But they're roughly the same size. And TITHI nearly finished my new Chaos Lord conversion, but I'm stuck on the head choice. And to your question: Rotor Cannons are the predecessor to Assault Cannons, and they look nearly the same. So I'd say yes?

thewarriorhunter Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 TITH I base coated my first models with my air brush. It went OK and I learned alot. I'm also becoming frustrated because the color I need came in a huge set and I can't find the single color anywhere unless I buy it in a set with colors I don't need/want right now.
