Focslain Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 YITH - Got eight of the old necron warriors pieced together. I'd have more but seems that the heads are made of flubber and are glue resistant because every, single, head kept bouncing off the table and launching itself a few feet for only an two inch drop... At least this is a mostly vehicle army so I won't have to deal with this too much. *looks at ghost ark sprues* +angry machine noises+ MrSpoon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSpoon Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 TITH I completed the assault intercessor squad (minus 1 head).

WrathOfTheLion Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) TITH/YITH, I finished magnetizing with all options and primed 2 sabre tanks for my 1st Legion. I also got the red basecoat for ~15 WB CSM and about 20 models for HH. Will be continuing to work on and finish some models for my classic SM SW army this evening.

CK. Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 TITH I put together a box of Inceptors and snagged the SM half of Indomitus on eBay. I made the choice to go White Scars recently and the box gets a lot of mileage out of the WS doctrine and abilities. The Inceptors took hours to build, as I'm picky about mould lines and cleaning up the plastic. I'm not quite sure how to actually paint them now - they'll get primed and painted before the flying bases get glued on, but until then there isn't a great place to stand them up or hold them while ensuring complete coverage.

Chaplain Mollusc Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 CK, have you considered drilling a hole in the bottom of a foot and sticking a thick wire or thin metal rod in? Just stick the other end into a piece of cork or suchlike et voila, a handy grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Today in the Hobby I had the Warhammer equivalent of finding that awesome band T-shirt you thought you lost/a wad of money underneath your mattress. While searching for the Slaanesh half Wrath & Rapture for a friend, I found out I didn't have it. I did find out, however, that the Knight Paladin I built yesterday isn't alone. Not one, but TWO Knights were hiding beneath boxes: Edited August 31, 2020 by Gederas NiceGuyAdi, Viridia, BitsHammer and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I drilled a hole into the inceptor, embedded a 2mm magnet, then glued a 3mm magnet to that. Then built up 2mm in the flight stand socket, then a 3mm on top of that. 2mm/3mm on each side there holds them quite well, and they can be removed from the stand. I tried gluing them once and I gave up that nonsense pretty quickly. For painting, you can probably just use a paperclip pin and place it somewhere out of sight.

MrSpoon Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 YITH I made some progress on 10 incursors. I'm not sold on the green effect on the Geordi La Forge style eye lenses. I'm open to suggestions but I'm thinking of going orange. Next up, ultra matte varnish, metallics and then some edge highlighting. 20 complete 10 WIP 95 Remaining Dantay VI, BitsHammer, Redrandy93 and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redrandy93 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Brothers wonderful work! Wish I could paint my UM figures that nicely. Ok this week I built and painted 5 more UM assault marines for my 4th Company. Added ammo pouches, grenades and purity seals. Added their shoulder pad emblems from Shapeways shipment I got a few months ago. Have to do some touch up paint work then they go with their squad mates off of my desk so I can do 6 tactical squads for Fourth company. I have not finished with part of my command squad for my UM Fifth company. For some reason it is taking forever. The last thing I have only the last 20 pages of HH Siege of Terror Book #4 to finish. It took only 3 days so far to read 520 pages. Non stop action at times. Great book!

NiceGuyAdi Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 TITH I’m continuing to spam this thread. assault intercessors matte varnished in my lunch break and then golds applied this evening along with a few other tweaks. Silvers, guns EH, Purity seals and leather EH to be completed tomorrow. Hang on. You varnish, then paint in the golds? This is one of those ideas so simple I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it before! Looks great. MrSpoon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of those ideas so simple I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it before! Looks great. Exactly this. I’m enjoying using the ultra matte varnish on the body and then making a very basic TMM effect on the golds. The contrast between the two is quite striking. Today’s effort. Sadly I think I went a bit OTT with the washes and I’ve left some staining on the pads. A little matte varnish may knock it back down, but I think I’m going to just have to live with it.

BitsHammer Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 TITH I made my break from 40k official: I'll come back to the game when the whole thing is more stable and less changes are rolling out every other month shaking up the core system. Like sometime after the new year. In the mean time I'm working on Blood Bowl. Good way to work on painting skin and do small groups of models. The more I dig into it the more I'd like to see GW eventually do a 40k version. Even as a one-off box between the Imperium and Orks would be cool.

Spaced Hulk Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Today in the hobby, I painted a second model for my new Space Marine army, the Exorcists: Still need to apply decals, hexagrammic wards (from the Betrayal at Calth decal sheet) and paint the base rim black, but I'm really pleased with how the scheme is looking so far.

I painted three teams for Blood Bowl recently as a break from 40k and it was a real palate cleanser. I enjoyed the small model counts and the simpler models to paint (Since Admech are fiddly and I'm a glutton for punishment that put camo on my Orks). Have fun and we hope to see you posting 40k stuff again soon. :) BitsHammer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I have just finished the Stormfang Gunship that came in my "Fangs of Morkai" box (so that only took 8 months). On the plus side, I have magnetised it so I can also run it as a Stormwolf if I prefer.

Dwango Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 In light of the eventual release of the lion, TITH I decided to set out all my painted dark angels infantry. There's a lot and most were painted before I joined the B&C. I'm going to post squad pictures in my thread for posterity. The army shot can be seen here.
