Moonstalker Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Today in the hobby I got back into the hobby. Clipped and cleaned a model (Phobos Librarian) for the first time in a few years. Still waiting on a new bottle of plastic cement to arrive.

pawl Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 TITH I finished more stripping of eBay metal, removed base-tabs and drilled barrels, and undercoated the first of some classic Scouts. Painting will hopefully begin tomorrow Bryan Blaire 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/376/#findComment-5532579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
treadhead Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 TITHI Got a mate into the hobby, He's chosen to field that most zealous of chapters, The Black Templars YITHI Found a positive side to being diabetic, the injection pens I use have replacable nibs, These have little plastic covers which are just the right size and shape to make traffic cones out of. So expect roadworks to delay traffic in the near future of the grim dark Oh and I'm redoing the wraith knight (Ulthwé colours) I thought I'd finished the other month as painting the groin armour in bone colour has left him loooking like he's wearing an adult nappy BitsHammer and Axineton 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/376/#findComment-5532621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TITH I received a reply from our saviour Duncan about edge highlighting colour shift paint. He was stumped but suggested I use a really really thinned down silver. I replied with thanks.

painting.for.my.sanity Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 TITH I did yet another subassembly for my Retributors - four backpacks down, one to go, then I start on the Heavy Bolters. Crossing fingers that I'll be ready to start on the bodies next weekend.

Moonstalker Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 TITH I started despruing and cleaning a combat squad of Infiltrators. After a rummage through my bitz box, I think I might have what I need to kitbash the comms specialist into a helix adept.

BitsHammer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well I just bit the bullet hard. I've been sitting on some Primaris Intercessors, a Redemptor (might also have some Aggressors but I'll need to double check), and I added to that: a Primaris Chaplain, a box of Centurions (going Assault with them), a Land Raider Crusader, a Repulsor, and an Inceptor. Add in the Emperor's Champion, Helbrecht, and Grimaldus and I think I'm starting a pretty decent little Crusade (going to need that starter box though, I want to use the Primaris Captain in that box as a Marshal as part of a story for Crusade games). Basically I need to paint a lot of black in my future, but I regret nothing. I refuse to regret anything because that would mean my +ZEAL+ was not great enough.

Lovecraft0110 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) TITH I will hopefully be successful in touching up all the hideous blue overspray I had yesterday when doing the base coats for my World Eaters Dreadnought Drop Pod. If all goes well, I should be ready for decals and enamel washes tomorrow.

MrSpoon Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 YITH I got my blood angels intercessors finished.

Moonstalker Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 TITH I did some painting. Sadly, with Photoshop and not acrylics, but gotta start figuring out that color scheme so I can decide what paints to buy.

NiceGuyAdi Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 TitH I knocked up a tray to turn an Ikea Poang armchair into a paintstation.

BitsHammer Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Well my pile of shame is getting slowly chipped at. Land Raider Crusader is mostly done (haven't decided if I want to attach upgrades to the tank just yet), and did some more kitbashing: Crusader Helms and Terminator Shoulder Pads to try and channel in the Black Templar feel a bit more.
