Today in the hobby I....

[Sky Potato]

TITH I completed decal and basing work on 14 Intercessors. I started them on Saturday, so I’m quite happy with 14 in a week.

 

I’ve also made enough of a dent in my painting backlog to justify assembling my Indomitus marines. So I got the Assault Intercessors and Eradicators de-sprued, de-mouldlined and assembled. I just need to get the gun barrels drilled out now. I might even do the Outriders today as well. The HQs and Bladeguard from Indomitus are going to get some serious converting into Minotaurs so I won’t be touching those for a while.

[BitsHammer]

This week in the hobby I've slowly been working on my Indomitus models for Black Templars and finally pulled the trigger for a second army to work on/play while the Marine meta largely continues in my area: Dark Eldar. I'm thinking of going with a sort of White Goth theme but splash in a different color for the left arm to give the army some visual identity (I don't know, I've just wanted an asymmetrical scheme for a little while now and this is a good way to do it). I figure white would let the army stand out on the board without doing more saturated bright colors, plus they're a Xenos army I've circled back to a few times in the past. So now I've got Drazhar, a box of Incubi, and a Talos/Chronos kit all sitting on my desk as well. 

 

Pictures to come, but for now it's all the less exciting assembly stuff.

[Syrakul]

Made another kitbashed spawn. Started quite goofy then had to work a lot more bits in to even it out... its ultimately way to large (size compare in album) but quite majestic IMO

Still requires GS to even out the gaps.

[Bryan Blaire]

TITHI primed all the pieces for my converted Hounds of Morkai unit - now to determine a paint scheme and figure out what squad will be next!

[BitsHammer]

Still slowly pulling myself out of my hobby rut I fell down, only built a Klaivex and Drazhar today.

 

Also, I never noticed how a Primaris looks next to a Drukhari (nice and chunky):

 

 

Been trying to do at least a couple models a day to work on fixing my hobby rut (and I recommend it if you need to work on your pile of shame but are lacking motivation), though I haven't gotten any painting done yet.

I bought, built, and painted a Thousand Sons patrol lift in 48 hours. Kit bashed Exalted Sorcerer Terminator, Rubicon squad, Scarab Terminators (by far my favorite)

[Dosjetka]

Keep up the good work, Fulkes. :tu:

Thanks! I'm working on curating the content I read online as well since I found I can be dragged back into that downward spiral if I read too much salt, but I'm just happy making progress.

 

Settled on an idea to base the Drukhari color scheme off of an Idoneth Deepkin one for Dom-Haim which should pop nicely with greys and greens for the armour set over a win red cloth. Thinking of fluffing up the army as Drukhari that have left the Dark City for one reason or another so they soend most of their time in real space with the goal of finding or siezing a Craftworld to turn into a city their own.

 

Marines are Templar through and through though, though I plan on trying some stuff to try and make the armour pop a bit (plus order transfers later this week) and splash a little yellow into the scheme reminiscent of the 2nd ed Templar art by Blance and do yellow weapon casings. Still deciding on a Crusade badge though.

[Doghouse]

TITHI I've nearly finished a basic battalion of a Captain, Lieutenant and three Intercessor squads for a rather obscure Chapter, undercoated a second for a DIY Chapter and looking at Black Templars for a third.

[Syrakul]

Spawn was started a few days ago, but I usually have to do a bit, leave it a day for the glue to reeally dry (as I continue to mangle it the joins should be solid)

Possessed was one nights work, happy with results so far. Now to let it dry for another pass tomorrow~

Ordered the 60?! 32mm imperialis bases from rural quebec... (no toronto company had it and possessed box at 15 off)

[thewarriorhunter]

TITH I built some terrain I got as a gift in a secret Santa. Fills out a Kill Team board nicely, just add scatter and good to go!

 

[Karhedron]

I have now finished my Space Wolf Bladeguard Veterans and I am pretty pleased with how they have turned out. They hit the balance I was looking for of being definitely wolfy whilst still being recognizably BG veterans.

[Axineton]

Very cool Karhedron love the oldskool bases.

 

TITH I assembled a box of intercessor assault marines for my Deathwatch. I’ll prime them at work in January when I’m back after Christmas. Tomorrow going to assemble the Primaris Apocathery for the Watch too. 

[Mendi Warrior]

Today I received my latest bits order and got a shipping confimation from FW for the 2 sets of AT Atrapos knights I ordered late yesterday in the evening.

 

These are officially my last purchases for 2020.

 

(it seems I can't put anything more on my credit card anyway ).

[Axineton]

TITH I assembled the Primaris apocathery, Lt Calcius and the terminator librarian that was released a few months back. Gave them all deathwatch shoulder pads. The apocathery has a Raven Guard shoulder pad and I’m think either Hawk Lords or Rift Stalkers for him. Calcius has Ultramarines shoulder pad due to him being blinged out in Capital U insignia and the terminator Libby I’ve not decided on which chapter he’s coming from although his staff has a bloody capital U as part of it so he’ll probably be Ultras as well. 

[Redrandy93]

Brothers I finally finished another UM Tactical squad.   That makes it 3 done and 3 more tactical squads  to go for  the company I am working on.    Already did the 2 assault squads and   

have part of the two devastor squads done too.    the command squad will be a while before I do that.

YITH I got my painting station setup in the new house. I did some tweaking of a few models and Guiliman in a nearly finished state. His base just needs varnishing with ultra matte but the airbrush and associated kit is 4 boxes deep in the garage with no where to use it.

[painting.for.my.sanity]

TITH I finished my Dialogus and started a Mistress of Repentance - determined to get my "Seriously" vow complete for all 12mths of this year.

 

Given I'm no longer going to be able to see family this Christmas, and the GF and I will just be staying at home, I wouldn't be surprised if I manage to get Tariana Palos done before year's end, too. Photos to follow once I've finished all the Sisters I'm going to manage to do this year.

[Black Knight]

TITH I tried to post a Repulsor to my brother for Christmas and all the delivery companies have stopped delivering to the UK. If only I had sent it two days ago...

[Syrakul]

Going a bit nuts with the final possessed, champ has a literal daemon reaching up from his neck taunting his target with all limbs

And another dude sort of directing the mutations forward and out of himself

And after decimating a box of gargoyles to salvage their wings you end up with a bunch of these torsos:

[Guest MistaGav]

Finally got round to building the two Gladiator tanks that I've had since they came out. Still not sure whether to try and magnetise to switch them into impulsors or just glue the top hatch on shut and leave as is. I already have an Impulsor anyway so no huge loss.

Today in the hobby, I took a few pics of my second skyweaver squad. I declared these done just over a week ago, but with no sun, had to break out my own lights.

Group shot

Example

More pics in my Harlequins gallery. Thanks for looking.

Those are unbelievable! From your gallery IMO your skill at doing these canopies has grown immensely.

I'd also point out the Thousand Sons gallery link is broken in your sig (for me at least)

[SvenIronhand]

Finished this Chaplain for my Ultramarines. He's going to be chanting a lot of Catechisms of Fire. 

 

[bigtrouble]

Made some progress on these dark vengeance Ravenwing bikers i’ve converted to Black Knights:
