Mendi Warrior Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Since mid-December, I have been reorganising my "hobby" space(s). I dusted many figures and bits that had been gathering dust for weeks, months, even years ... I cleaned some in hot water with cleaning soap (not detrimental to painted figs). I reorganised them into boxes, trays, ... We bought 3 cupboards (PAX series at IKEA, 236x50x35cm) to have more storage room. I repaired several broken models, making good use of drills and metal rods. I added magnets here and there as well. In the process I found 13 small Epic biovores which I decided to put into a plastic bag after cleaning them. Plastic bag which I managed to put somewhere that I don't remember ... which drives me crazy every time I look for it. I also found 3 bits (bodies for the corpse cart wraith) I had bought several years ago and put aside for "later", I did put them aside so well that I looked for them on more than a dozen occasions over the last 3-4 years without being able to find them ... And I methodically glued together many parts I had left unattached to various figures, ranging from my newest Legions Imperialis stuff to my first Epic models (some of which are still untouched in their original blisters), Warhammer Battle and 40K, Warmaster, Battlefleet Gothic, ... Even if the progresses I made are small ones, I find them quite satisfying. And, of course, I'm far from being done ... skylerboodie and The Yncarne 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/429/#findComment-6020996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Strictly speaking this was a couple of days ago but better late than never. The Chaplain for some reason I just found a bit frustrating to paint. Pretty poor, even by my low standards Still at least now all my Characters are done.

DemonGSides Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Gotta start the process somewhere, brother! Great job putting paint to plastic, that in of itself is worthy of adulation. Once you get a handle on thinning down yellow and white (both of which, in my opinion, are obnoxious to work with until you "Figure it out"), you'll find the spot where you're happiest!

The Yncarne Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I think if I went to Imperial Fists I’d use a spray paint to get a nice even coat. Then I’d try a few washes to get some depth. My last marine army was in 5th though. I agree with @DemonGSides that getting paint on (3 colors in my case) is itself a victory.

Axineton Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 TITH I purchased the Leviathan box from element games. Been lurking on the site now and again for a few weeks and took the plunge. Last year I sold off everything I owned regarding the hobby except my blood bowl stuff. I had so much stuff that was just boxed up and needed a clean break so moved away from it until I could feel ready to come back. Well this morning was that day. I’m moving house in a few weeks so I’ll have a bit more room to build and paint when I get the time.

Casual Heresy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 TITH I finally got the notification that my Deathwing Assault box has shipped! So I celebrated by picking up a box of Bladeguard and the Lion while on my lunch break... In my defence that's me got everything I need for my Deathwing project, and half of it has been drawn from the pile of potential.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Just getting paint on the mini is indeed a big victory. Plus I've never really enjoyed painting until starting my Imperial Fists.

Bouargh Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) TITH I bought for the first time a paint pot from the GW "dry" range. And it was not planned, I just did it by error. My mistake. I even had time to rant for a while about paints that are delivered dried and damaged before realizing I was the one that pick wrongly the reference of dawnstone grey... No comment...

lhg033 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Last night in the hobby, I built the ripper swarm and 3/10 of the remaining termagants from Leviathan Last week I finished off painting/basing and varnished the previous 10. At this rate I may actually paint up Leviathan this year! I need to get more storage for painted models now though.

N1SB Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Today in the Hobby I, being in Hong Kong, watched the Superbowl in the morning with Discord friends, then that new Tracker TV show since we were already watching CBS, THEN I ran off to the Warhammer Store for a 3 vs 3 game of 40k to celebrate the Chinese New Year: I used my Triple C'Tan Threat list, in which I have a Transcendent C'tan, the Nightbringer and the Deceiver. In the post-game WhatsApp chat, we were giving each other a "gg", but one of them added： "你 3 C'tan 得罪人人。" Translation: "Your 3 C'tan have sinned against all peoples." I have indeed sinned against all peoples. I never pretended to be a saint. tinpact, The Yncarne and Casual Heresy 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274679-today-in-the-hobby-i/page/429/#findComment-6022375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's certainly where the camo swatch I used came from. That camo came from Rogue Trader but it was a swatch in the 2nd ed Ork Codex that set me off. It does look a bit "red period" now that I look at the models.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I painted two of my sixteen Firstborn Dreadnoughts. Considering in my entire life I had only painted one Dreadnought nearly twenty years ago I am personally quite pleased with result.

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 That is a well painted Broadside and I like the Reiver Lieutenant. The skull helmet on Reivers is very cool. I painted two Dreadnoughts today. They went very well and I am extremely pleased with them. A huge hobby high.
