BitsHammer Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Just a quick update before work for my progress on Mephiston: I finished the shading on his cape (giving that cooler purple warmer shadows to make the whole thing pop better), and finally have a better handle on how to deal with his armour. Might push the shine a bit more, but haven't decided yet. I've also have a Keeper of Secrets in the process of being given subassemblies and I've got an idea for how I'll be painting the cloth to give the Keeper a bit more colour than is traditional. thewarriorhunter 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/358/#findComment-5471203 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 TITH I sold some models and used the funds to get a steal of a deal on Blackstone Fortress and the Citadel starter paint set.

Axineton Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 TITH I airbrushed a kantor blue base coat on my 2 Genestealers for the 12 months of hobby challenge. I also did a bit of edge highlighting on one too and then I also noticed my psi gauge on my compressor has stopped working when I use my airbrush. Not sure if it can be fixed or not.

Mendi Warrior Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) YITH I sent a 4th email to bitsandkits.co.uk asking for the tracking information for my last order, supposedly sent on January 9, and not delivered yet although orders from the UK to my home in Belgium typically take a week to arrive. So far I have no answer to any of my messages, that is extremely frustrating … not losing hope yet … On a more positive note: TITH I made some more progress with my AT scenery, building roof extensions for my hexagonal towers Edited February 4, 2020 by Mendi Warrior thewarriorhunter and Dreagher 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/358/#findComment-5472116 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaVolt87 Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 TITH I assembled my last plastic jetbike for my Custodes. Also finished up the last havoc squad for my IW's. Need to take pics though.

It’s bitzbox who’s active on Twitter. Sorry dude. No problem, thanks for the idea. If only I had bought from bitzbox … never had a problem with them. Once there were 2 small bits missing from an order, I emailed them and since they were not in stock at the time, they refunded me. Excellent service. Here with bitsandkits it is a totally different story. And it seems, from the few other feedbacks I found online, that it is a recurrent behaviour: going dark in case of a customer having a problem … I still hope for the package to show up, but I'm done hoping for a reply from bitsandkits.

Karhedron Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I have finished my Rusty 17 detachment.

thewarriorhunter Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Seeing the AdMech on Goblin Green bases is weird, but in a good way.

BitsHammer Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 TITH I started a Titan legion: My FLGS was making room by clearing out old inventory so I picked up all the Titanicus stuff at 50%. I'm a long way off of knowing how I'll paint them, so it's all assembly for now.

painting.for.my.sanity Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 TITH I arranged my first game since 4th edition Well I was hoping to follow up to this post with a battle report. Instead, something even more embarrassing than getting tabled happened. It turns I managed to book a game in a very similarly named town to my nearest one... that is instead 150 miles away. So, I'm not having my first game tonight since 4th edition tonight. In my defence, they didn't give me a post code, just a street address, and when I plugged that into my satnav to drive there I found it was going to take a whole lot longer than expected. I feel pretty bad about messing my opponent around, and like a total idiot for not noticing sooner.

BitsHammer Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 So I spent way too much to order a DSLR camera that can also record video. Basically due to some long term uncertainty in the future of my job I'm putting a boot to my own backside to finally start making hobby content as a job. So I'll be starting a blog with hobby tutorials and will be expanding to do video and streaming later this year as well. Still working on the whole Patreon thing as well so I can actually do this and still eat but it's a career I'd like to move into instead of staying in retail the rest of my life.
