I hear you cry, "You're already 3 days late...", and correct you are. Although I haven't had the time to sit and upload my progress, progress has been made none the less....

Grotsmasha Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 January 7th, 2016 Today in the Hobby I joined the Guard's Assault on Lutum Campaign event with Sgt. Harker, http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/365%20Days%20of%20Hobby/IMAG0966_zpsshy5a3wb.jpg ...and put some base colours down on some of the models primed yerterday, http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y464/Grotsmasha/365%20Days%20of%20Hobby/IMAG0965_zps7clbvhdy.jpg ...as well as finished off reading The Unburdened, I read and finished the Ultramarines novel, The Honoured, last month, and while it was fine, I found The Unburdened held my attention for longer periods at a time. The Unburdened tells the story of Kurtha Sedd, a Word Bearers Chaplain suddenly thrust into command of his company at The Betrayal of Calth. What this book really achieved for me was helping to see, from a Word Bearers perspective, just how much turmoil Monarchia caused within the Word Bearers, and specifically Kurtha Sedd. It runs parallel to The Honoured, and even has some conversations word-for-word, detailing the conflict between the companies in the Underground War on Calth. As a someone who predominately associates with the Imperial point of view, I feel comfortable recommending both books to Loyalists and Traitors alike.

Grotsmasha Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 January 9th, 2016 Today in the Hobby I put a little more base colour on my Lightning Claw Praetor, Also, heard back from Black Library, they'll be replacing my Calendar. I've been considering pulling the misprinted one apart and framing the artwork.

Grotsmasha Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Good progress, brother, keep it up! Digging the pose on that praetor, too. I cut out and tried just about every power claw before deciding on those two, in hindsight, I should've found a way to raise the head as well, it's still too low, even after cutting down the gorget (is that the right name?!).

Grotsmasha Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 yeah thats the right part. maybe seperating the head and adding a shim or something to raise it up? looking good none the less I considered it, but I don't think I could get it out without ruining the gorget.

Grotsmasha Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 January 11th, 2016 Today in the Hobby I decided to assemble the 2nd of my BaC Contemptors. Having assembled the 1st one dead standard, I decided I wanted to repose the 2nd one. I added a new helm, and reposed the waist and left leg. I started by hacking off the old head and the left over surrounding plastic, ...then I made myself a new mounting position for the replacement head out of a spare, trimmed down torso, ...which I then attached to the inside of the Contemptor torso piece, about .5mm below the existing rim, ...leaving me with this as the end result, I chose a Centurion helm as it is closer in size than a standard helm, Cheers, Jono Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317799-365-days-of-hobbyhopefully/#findComment-4276296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
