Today in the hobby I....


Aegnor

@Magos Takatus Some nice looking terrain there.

 

Today I did some repairs on an old school RT era Rhino I brought off ebay and did a bit of odds and ends. I also went to my local GW which has an epic manager who has been hugely supportive of me and my IF project and has been really encouraging me when it comes to painting. 

 

When it comes to stock it affects my local GW too. The factory simply cannot produce large quantities because the product range is ridiculously vast.

I applied a fresh batch of paint to my colour-coded order tokens used in 30K/40K and LI. By chance Youtube revealed the video game Helldivers 2 to me. Although I can´t play it (Xbox supporter here) it has inspired me to finish my remaining Iron Empire models from Raging Heroes as they have a similar over-the-top vibe to them.

Today I did a lot of work on this big boy- a de-Primarised Redemptor!

 

"Screw you GW!" [Un-Demptors your Dreadnought]

The recipe is a heavily modified Redemptor torso, the OOP Sentinel missile launcher, assorted bits and pieces, plasticard and some Dreadnought printable parts scaled up to 130%. A shoulder block and foot failed on the print so those need redoing, but that aside he's coming along nicely.

@Evil Eye Good work there brother. I do miss the 'little' Dreadnought.

 

@deathspectersgt7 Hope you are doing better now. I have found Warhammer to be a fantastic coping mechanism when dealing with my own health issues and needing an escape from reality. 

 

Technically it was yesterday but I:

 

Assembled two Land Speeders

Assembled two Rhinos and two Predators

Assembled the Imperial Space Marine from 2016 as well as a metal Imperial Fists Captain from 1997!

Half assembled a Gladiator (trying to decide if I need to buy a magnet kit or can just wing it) and 3x deathshroud and a Foul Blightspawn.

 

 

I also finally desprued all my leftover plague Marines bits and got them sorted into my bits box.

I painted up some Servitors with a very basic paint job (they're only Servitors after all) and based them to match the Techmarine in Servo-harness. I also painted up a metal Imperial Fists Captain from the 90's and was quite pleased how it turned out considering this is the first time I have ever worked with a metal miniature.

Today I reversed the direction of a conveyor belt because I am very, very pedantic.

Mantic could have prevented this madness if they had just sculpted a left turn for their belts...

 

The plan for the diorama is coming into place now, though.

That Redemptionist on the top right still won't stay upright though. Lousy drunkard... :laugh:

@Doctor Perils That's a nice gritty colour scheme and I like your name for them.

 

@lhg033 Ha it happens to us all. I've ended up with all sorts. Don't worry about budgets, just sell an organ or two and that should see you through the summer. 

 

@Karhedron That red/gold looks brilliant mate. The red really pops off the model. How did you get that effect? I bet the matching Land Raider looks awesome.

Today in the hobby, I broke the airbrush out for the first time since moving house over a year ago.

 

83 infantry models and 2 Rhinos primed.

 

I've done all the masking I need to do to prime the remaining 71 infantry, 6 tanks and a Deredeo dreadnought tomorrow. I should be able to get the 2 base coats nipped this week, and I’m really hoping I’ll be able to get the gloss varnish down as well.

 

The biggest issue I found was getting my eye back in with the Stynylrez through the airbrush again.

TITH I contributed to the circular economy applied to the hobby : I bought on ebay as second hand item an ooP Eldar Spirit Warrior, with its 2 arms, 5 pounds cheaper than a plastic wraithlord.... A perfect and characterful (bulky) proxy.

It will come with 2 Warlocks and IG regimental advisors, all metal and all at prices quite under the current plastic or resin kits. Prices to be understood with international postage cost included.

 

Only B-mol is that the Spirit warrior misses its base.

 

Yet a nice bargain.

TITH my brother sent me some of the photos he took of my models using my backdrops, a gaming mat and plenty of my scenery. He provided his camera phone, a tripod and his experience. I think you can agree the result was pretty snazzy:

We took quite a few pictures so I may be uploading more in the future.

Today in the hobby I am back at it again! Below is 2.5 hours of work and quality time with my cat, but in the past few days I did my first five lasrifles plus the Dracosan, great builds.
That one lasrifle arm that's already on fell off the sprue during shipping so I took the liberty of putting it on first, just to not lose it.

@TheArtilleryman Sounds like a good deal. So you're going be going into the HH then. Lucky man. 

 

@utahraptor232 nice models dude

 

I played the 40k dlc for Powerwash Simulator. It was good. It was nice to see a Land Raider all wet and soapy and spray liquid all over its hull.

TITHI started assembling two Titanicus Reavers after painting it in sub assemblies.

 

:cuss: my :cuss::cuss::cuss:! Even with a copious amount of test fitting when assembling, the four ankle plates on each leg just would not co-operate with the foot armour. I’ve ended up snipping armour panels down and I’ve rubbed off loads of edge trim paint.

 

I seriously lost my temper at one point. I’ve spent weeks painting these things up and :cuss:.

 

Anyway, today in the hobby, I have finished the leg assemblies for two Titanicus Reavers. For the sake of my sanity, I’ll do the touch ups tomorrow I think :facepalm:
