Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 TITHI put a layer of leadbelcher down on an Assault Marine. It ain’t much, but it’s honestly work—there’s something deeply satisfying about the underlying leadbelcher color going on to a Space Marine, even if it’s just helmet/weapons/cabling from primer. That first pop of color. Really builds things out. Even if I eventually acquire a full battle company for my Dawn Blades, I think I’ll keep expanding them—the feeling I get from the initial leadbelcher layer might just be worth it.

Bouargh Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Today in the Hobby, I will complete the re-painting of the first metal model I ever bough (year 1994): Space Wolf metal Scout Sergeant ref 70005/1. This chap had been left apart since 1998 at least... And yet he managed to survive all this time, "behind the ennemy lines" (understood in the long time forgotten and dusty shoebox on top of the wardrobe), without supplies or any wolfpets. Never underestimate a scout´s willingness to survive against all odds. Wolf Scout Sergeants; Space Marine Scouts (solegends.com) Edit: And here comes the survivor !!!: As it is slightly bigger than the other scouts, I use him as a Wolf Guard attached to the squad.

Pacific81 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Nice Wolf Scout! I really love the first metal scout sculpts, I think they still hold up well today. TDITH I took some photos of a finished Epic Mega Squiggith. Going to be on its way to squish some annoying humies!

Maschinenpriester Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Today in the hobby I was able to take the time to take some photos of 5 minis I recently finished. The minis have been painted up for the 3 year old son of my buddy who has developed an interest in the little plastic men me and my buddy play with. The minis have been coated with multiple clear coats to make them as durable as possible. Also shown in the other picture are the 5 tyranids my buddy painted up for his son as well (I am a little sceptical about how long they are going to last though because of their delicate nature). My friend's son has been picking the colour scheme and decals and everything has been mostly painted up to his ideas. Myself being an EC player mainly could not say no to pink marines of course!

Urauloth Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've been drilling holes in Mk III shoulder guards today to pock them with rust and insert microbeads for pustules. I want more "plain" pauldrons for my Death Guard (a few too many in the kit with whole daemon faces sticking out of them for my taste) and this is a great way of making them. Time consuming, but pretty fun. I really appreciate that the DG pauldrons are exactly the same size as the ones in the MK III kit.

NiceGuyAdi Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) TiTH my newly minted Kommandos (8 months painting, ugh) got into some Kill Team action against Genestealer Cultists. Best game of KT21 I've had so far. The momentum swung two or three times in the game and it came down to the last dice roll. Cultists would've won if my nearly-dead Nob hadn't shrugged off a rifle butt as "Just a Scratch" before cutting the poor fella in two with his Klaw. We were both speechless for a couple of minutes after it finished.

Magos Takatus Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Good luck! Adeptus Mechanicus armies are a fiddly project to work on but the results are breathtaking when done well. I've seen a few armies on Instagram and they look fantastic. I hope you bring your enthusiasm over to the Admech Forum. It's a bit quiet there but there's some great people to chat with.

If anyone is UK based and wants to have a go at Epic Space Marine (or even just take a look) then this event is designed for you.

Urauloth Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I like the partly sunken tank, it looks suitably rusty. Should the turret be pointing down into the river, though, or has it been fused in place by whatever damage knocked it out?

Pacific81 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Thanks mate! TBH it was just fused in place by whoever super-glued it before! I had the tank missing one track in my bits box for some years, so it has finally had some use. I suppose it could have lost power and stuck like that when destroyed, or a rookie tank driver went to close to the bank and got stuck?!

Mandragola Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Interesting stuff, which I read most of! One thing I did pick up on was the idea of the UK being dependent on Russian gas. I don't think that's particularly accurate, or at least it shouldn't be. The UK has a lot of its own gas and I don't think we ever imported much from Russia. That said, the UK does use a lot of gas, making it dependent on the international gas price - and that has definitely been affected by the war. Right now though, that price has fallen to pre-war levels. Also GW has a pretty significant solar array on its factory roof. They won't actually be paying much for electricity at all as a result. They'll get paid for excess energy on sunny days (which do happen!) to make up for when it's cloudly/night. So GW as a company is less impacted by changes in the energy market, as they generate it themselves.

Pacific81 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Its possible @Mandragola although inflation will have made the cost of everything rise. Andthe energy prices rocketed up, but will parachute down now that the market prices have dropped. Although, I think the UK economy being in recession, and people just not having expendable income, will probably have more of an impact on GWs profits.
