ShibeKing Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 TITH I bought an acquaintance's pile of shame. I now have a rather large tub full of Primaris infantry including last year's battleforce. There's also boxes of Custode Guardians, Wardens, Jetbikes, and Tempestus Scions. Currently about to move back home to Fort Collins with my parents as I get ready to go back to school, but I'm looking forward to building these and actually painting minis for once.I could use some help on whether I do Blood Angels or Dark Angels now that I have 3 boxes each of their Intercessors, Hellblasters, and Aggressors. Then again I may just do both since it would be a darn shame to waste chapter specific shoulder pads these boxes come with.

Nocturne Noble Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Today in the hobby I received my Mini Vortex Mixer in the mail and have been rejuvenating my paints in preparation for starting my Salamanders in earnest. Also, I rediscovered a bunch of the 2012 Salamanders transfer sheets; most of them unopened but with those that are the white coloured transfers are near invisible despite being printed on light blue card. Is that normal, or have they expired? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/372/#findComment-5512390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephaniah Adriyen Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 TITH I finished my new Iron Priest. I usually run a fairly mechanised army and often bring Bjorn so I am sure there will be worthwhile things for this guy to patch-up. You got a big long WIP thread I can bookmark for thievery inspiration?

ThePenitentOne Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Today I reorganized my gaming and painting space and sorted my pile of shame into manageable tasks; I'm on a building, priming, organizing phase. I've been meaning to step up my game. I can't buy paint right now... at least not conveniently, so building and priming is my jam. I'm going to get serious about this hobby; I've been in the collecting planning stage for so long that I've got to make a quantum leap forward. On the table right now awaiting assembly: DE Haemonculus, Greyfax, 4 finecast Death Cult Assassins, Espern Locarno, Astropath, and most of the Sisters collector box. The plan is to post here daily, which means doing something every single day, no matter how small. By the time this damn quarantine ends, I'm going to have 4 serious armies on the go- Sisters, GSC, Chaos, and DE. If I can get it all built and primed in 14 days, I'll buy painting supplies and hit phase 2.

Doghouse Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 TITH it dawned on me that finding kits right now is kind of what I imagine it's like hunting rare Pokemon. So far I've found a Theta-7 Acquisitus kill team boxed set and a Necromunda Enforcers set for a great price after hours of hunting around indie stores. More importantly it's alllowed me to support those stores doing their best to stay afloat right now during these troubling times and made me appreciate the great deals some of them offer.

ThePenitentOne Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Well, third day in a row I've made progress. Today I primed 4 metal SoB- two storm bolters, a heavy bolter and a flamer. I also primed my regimental advisors. But these are the ones I want to show you: That's two metal hybrids- the one on the right, to this day is one of my favorite models in the range- and two of the three different metal magi sculpts I own. But here is the bomb, the heavy weight champion of my collection: In this photo, the back of the throne is missing; I do have the original piece, but I ran out of time and had to shoot the parts that I had manged to dig out of the bits box. I won this sucker in an ebay auction back in the early 00's- still can't believe my good fortune. Anyway, the thing I'm most proud of is actually going through the motions of taking the photos, uploading it to the gallery and getting it posted. In addition to this post, I also finally got around to posting the pics of my DE and wych cult arena here: The Commorragh Campaign Begins Doghouse and Tichinde 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/372/#findComment-5513399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
