I can see a levi enjoying that road trip for a bit of tlc :lol:

 

Well making ok progress

Got the chassis /torso flamers and volkites highlighted and 70% or more through the grav bombard so I might actually get them all done in a reasonable time :D

Although I still technically have 1 more storm cannon to highlight I'm calling him done!
Or at least until I paint up the base and put him on that - but that will have to wait until after my home improvements and I can set up airbrush again

Wow hes done I love the base I love the black coarse sand look.....:biggrin.:

No seriously It looks great man!

:lol: that's exactly what I was aiming for war thanks for noticing :sweat:

 

He's gonna look mint once I get him on the resin base and there's some contrast there. Gonna be a bunch of pinning and probably a tube of super glue to keep him there :D

 

Need to paint my Contemptor and Redemptor to run a full dread RG list

Not a lot to update I still have the last cannon to highlight

I did upgrade my airbrush hood in pretty excited and it's now sitting in my newly refinished basement in a dedicated spot.

Also means now I can get to painting the base for the dread :D

:cry:

So I didn't realise this was my last update here...

That levi unfortunately had a bad translation into my basement and is now in pieces requiring assistance from a tech priest....

I have actually been doing a bit of work on my Marines though

I bought 2 gladiators and a storm speeder.

I've built and magnetised 1 gladiator and all but finished the same on the speeder just need to get the Sponsons on!

I did also offload a bunch of minim Marines and Primaris models that I haven't touched in a while. Those funds will got to another project. You might even seen the rhino's floating around the forum still. ;)

As to some other projects I continue to kit out my game room. I now have a display shelf! Took 3 months of waiting and missing out several times before I finally went and lined up at Ikea before opening to get one <_<

It was worth it though (I looked for alternates that whole time and the Milsbo is still the best bang for your buck if you're looking to upgrade from a Deltof). I added some lights which really make a difference too.

Now for my next room project:

The portrait ones will be easy since I have a bunch of post cards from the BL celebration set. The landscape ones might be trickier...

Thx

 

I like the height of it too as top shelf is about eye level no stooping

You could probably add more shelves to this I think

Downside is the shelf limit is 11lbs / 5kg so I have to be careful with the resin I guess

 

Believe it or not I got all 5 chibis on the first shot! :O

Claws says:

 

Almost certainly.

 

In the event I have coming up they'll be serving as a Whirlwind squadron with the missile launchers from the back of a Knight serving as the turrets.

 

I tracked duz down in RL (sorta by accident) and bought his Rhinos. Needed metal bawkses for my Heresy army.

Got distracted from my other project for a strong urge to build this Canis Rex model I've had lying around for literal years (since they were released...)

Was a fun exercise in magnetising learnt a few new tricks. Not sure when I'll paint it though.

As my previous post from may mentions, my levi had a bad translation to the basement :cry:

He sat languishing down there until this weekend. After clearing my painting table that had become a bit of a junk pile, I decided I was finally in a place to touch up the damage.

Fortunately it was nowhere near as bad as I had thought. I think it was more knowing how much time I'd just spent as he splintered across the floor at the bottom of the stairs, I couldn't do it again.

Not only that I painted up his base too! :D

Resin model + resin base this guy is heavy... :lol:

Once the copious amounts of super glue I used has dried there's a few touches up required and then a quick varnish and into the display case :yes:

Whelp! I just signed up for a local 2 day GT 13th of November.

Don't know how to play 9th or if I have a painted army I can field for the event.

Guess I have some homework to do!

 

Likely it will be my RG it being the only painted force with a 9th Ed codex. Maybe I'll bring my levi and Storm Eagle :D

Initial list thoughts will require some painting since my old troops were scouts :cry:

I like how the Invictors are going to force your opponent to divert anti-aircraft fire from the Storm Eagle. I'm curious if you have a way to optimize the transport ability and also get the most out of the Drop Pod?

 

I wish the list had more ObSec units in it or at least larger units. Durability is going to be an issue on Objectives. I think the list needs more focus as far as the roles each unit is going to play in scoring Primary and Secondary points. 

 

Right now it looks like a "fun" list and good Lord man we can't have that at a tournament (lol) :wink:

 

 

 

PS: [indignant rage] Where's the Levi?
