Chris521 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Today in the hobby, I completed and varnished my two newest HQs. I was particularly happy with how the Librarian came out. I think he's my best paint job yet. I also primed over 120 models. Basically anything here that is completely black was just primed.

Gederas Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Wow, that's a lot of models Chris. Good luck on painting all of them :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/313/#findComment-5274682 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 TITH I built my DI Captain and a Sergeant. On the whole, the DI stuff is amazing quality. If any Fraters have been avoiding them as they thought they were just ‘starter’ models, you are missing out.

JaM_TW Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Not today, but last Sunday: I played my first 40K game in years, with (not against!) my 9 year old son. It was at the FLGS, they started an escalation-league. 500 points, we/he played nurgle. And the last man standing was his Chaos lord, after a tight game vs Grey Knights with some kind of uber-character/psyker thingie. He had a great time (so had I) and we learned a lot of (new) rules. Havent played since 4th, there's a lot of things that dont happen anymore. I've heared all the critique about kiddie-fying the current rules/edition, but it's nice to speed up play and make tactical decisions instead of consulting tables all the time. IMHO of course. Soon, he'll be painting more Nurgle thingies. Moot Green seems his favourite colour at the moment... :D Good times.

Deus de Mortalis Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 This old 2nd Edition Landspeeder arrived in the mail yesterday. I was planning on building it, but now I can't stand the thought of opening the package. The styrofoam inside must have broken because the metal bits are rattling around inside.

Vykes Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Oh man, Deus de Mortalis, that is a rocking find! (it's still the styrofoam packing so it might not have broken but just the 3 seperate 'chambers' are rattling around loose packed just like all those old ones. Again, it's a few big pieces so it may well have caved). I ended up carving up some plastics to look something like them, big fan of the 2E look so I totally get ya when you don't want to open it up. Warriohunter, that terrain is looking awesome. Hope you have some fun at the shop, eh! I do like the doors... always tempted on stuff like that. My Inner RPG self likes that sorta thing. Well, TITH I'm at about the 95% mark on a pair of dinged up preds I salvaged from a mate's force in exchange for a new pred and some paint. Aaaaanyway, now I still feel 1 short of a proper squadron, and that'll be sorely evident as I'm gonna be bringing in a heavy armour armoured group against an opponent's Iron Hands 'Breakthrough' armoured company this week. 2.5K, somewhere between 25-30 vehicles between us.

Gederas Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) TITH I picked up my full box of Shadowspear, and two of the Chaos halves that I split.

Vykes Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Maaaan, I can't get Shadowspear until tomorrow at the shop. Kinda jealous already there, Gederas mate Not so jealous about the slash there, man. Ouch. Only ever appropriate for a few red marines but it always happens. Yep, 25-30 vehicles, about half of them predators... they're so very cheap in 30K... so very cheap. And I'm gonna have to force through 2 waves of 20 legionnaires and hope between that, some vindicators, rhinos, the two preds, a land raider squadron, and a Spartan, I can capture an airfield in a new campaign's narrative mission that seems designed to make me suffer on this one. Should be fun!

RikuEru Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 TITHI I got my box of Shadowspear, immediately sorted out the heretical stuff and then packed them into a huge box, with quite some other heretical stuff. After that I brought two huge boxes to the post office to send a friend of mine 6kg of disgusting traitor stuff I had laying around for him far too long. (Dark Imperium and First Strike DG half, Forgebane Necron half, Lord Felthius & Co, a number of DG clampack chars, DG Battleforce, DG Limited Edition Marines, DG green spray, DG Codex, Shadowspear BL half - and all the corresponding MiniCodices, instructions, 3 posters, two dozen colours and two brushes. ...and a package of Haribo Gummibears) Now my House feels so much cleaner and almost holy, wizh all that taint gone...

Axineton Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 TITH an order from GW turned up consisting of a Callidus assassin, GSC Locus and Sanctus, GSC datacards and a bottle of ardcoat.

Montford Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 This Week in the Hobby I decided to see how much of a Battleforged army I could make from my Red Temaplars (Space Marines). I set up an 8' table and laid everything out. Using all but 3 models I created two Brigades and a Spearhead Detachment. I was quite surprised I had that many Tactical Marines. My wife came over and discovered what I was doing. I thought I might get at least some teasing over it but instead she suggested I get another big model carrying bag!

Gederas Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 YITHI managed to finish assembling 5 of my 6 Greater Possessed. I've kitbashed a few of them, and need to do some greenstuff work to make the kitbashes work a bit better. Turns out, the 'current' (likely to be replaced) Possessed kit works very well on the Greater Possessed.
