Today in the hobby I....

[Monstra Sumus]

Jumped feet first back into the hobby and planned more than the 500 pts I said I'd limit myself to.

 

After 4 years of battling depression it feels good.

TITH I painted Cannoness Veridyan for a Adepta Sororitas commission, just the base texture and tuft to add

TITH I finally received the magnets I had ordered at the end of march! Base magnetizing bonanza incoming

[DOGGED]

TITHI assembled my very first Allarus Custodian, who's joined now several 5 strong squads already assembled (2 of Prosecutor and 1 of Vigilator Sisters of Silence, 1 of Sentinel Custodians), all waiting for character building to get primed. My Ten Thousand's Ten Thousand project goes along, taking shape by the day.

Also after reading Two Metaphysical Blades and Blood Games I got again into Master of Mankind (How delightful are the Custodes' comments to Dorn).

[The Yncarne]

TITH I returned to the Void Raven

More to come.

Took some time to make small steps to finish SG #4

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

YITHI looked at the paints I’m going to need to do Szarekh up all roight ‘n proppa’ according to his GW page and...

 

I’m going to need to buy a lot of paint.

 

And probably learn how to wet blend.

I freely admit I failed my Black Templar pledge. The more I tried to paint the more energy was pulled out of me by work, and the more I fell into a negativity spiral which took me out of most of the communities I enjoy participating in.

 

I'm getting back on track with some World Eaters, though they too have a long way to go:

 

Basically I wasn't too fond of the old Berserker models and after mulling over using Raptor bodies, I settled on using CSM. They're less dynamic, yes, but I think they have the right amount of visual threat for a unit and will still paint up nicely. Plan is to build 30 of these guys (10 man units with chain axes and bolt pistols, 2 with plasma pistols and a power axe on the champ). I decided to not double down on the melee weapons only because I think with 9th having even a little ranged threat is important.

 

Models are made with the FW Berserker upgrade set, with the Chain Axes and spare hands from Conversion World. I think they look spiffy and appropriately threatening, even if they're less dynamic.

Honestly, don't attempt to learn to wet blend on a big expensive centrepiece model like Szarekh - not only will you be afraid of messing it up, making it demoralising in the end, the effect will probably be too subtle to make a difference for you.

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

Good point. Guess I’ll need to choose what shade of green I’ll want to use on the menhirs, since that’s what would have required that, I think.

TITH received my bits order.other than that coming up with ideas for some more beastmen to add to my campaign.

[The Yncarne]

TITH I kept plugging away on the void raven. What a lesson it has been. :)

[deathspectersgt7]

TITH , just cleaned my new batch of bits. To exhausted to do anything else had only 1 day off in 56.

[treadhead]

Tithi continued painting more terrain, converted a daemon prince by green stuffing a sturdier neck joint (ok did that bit the night before) just to use up a spare bloodthirster head and then painted him, Did more terrain, some detailing on two of my custodes dreads, Yet more terrain and to finish off I did a little more work on my grey knights sicaran (I know they can't have one but it looks shiny in silver )

 

Tomorrow I'm doing anything but   terrain

[Monstra Sumus]

TITH I received reinforcements in the shape of Eliminators and Infiltrators. I picked up myself a hobby turn table and a ton of modeling tools and supplies to help me better my skills.

[The Yncarne]

TITH, I took pictures of my more or less finished void raven. I should clean up some bits, but I'm in no hurry. I learned some things - mostly what not to do the next time.

Thanks for looking.

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

Today I finally finished my sanguinary guard that I started forever ago.

[Monstra Sumus]

TITH I had the great luck of GW announcing the new Primaris CP box after I'd already purchase 2/3rds of the box separately and already started production.

[battle captain corpus]

I finally got around to finishing my predator for my Black Legion!

 

The armoured elements now look much beefier!

[Dwango]

YITH I painted some faces. I practiced a couple of skin tones too. Not sure if I'm getting any better at them but it was good to get some practice in!

[deathspectersgt7]

TITH still recovering from my second covid shot. It kicked my ass.

[Dwango]

TITH I knocked over a bottle of micro sol. Managed to save about half. 30 seconds later I used it to clean yellow paint off my brush. It wasn't my finest hour!

[deathspectersgt7]

TITH got a nephew into 40k . Waaaagh he wants to to Orks cool

[Vermintide]

TITH I took a bunch of pictures and wrote a bit of fluff for my very oldcron flavoured Necron army, which can be found here.

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

Man, must have been a dead week for the hobby :P

 

TITHI purchased an old monolith on eBay because Why Not, it was cheap and I've wanted one of the old ones for a while. 

 

Also, a few days ago, I found the GW Guide to Making Terrain referenced in the 3rd Ed Space Marine Codex at a Half Price Books, among other non-40k finds. I look forward to experimenting with it. :D And if nothing else, my library of old relevant books is slowly expanding.
