I'm so jealous!

I stopped working on my assault ram. It's way to far warped to get it straightened out. :-(

use the forges of vulkan (a hairdryer) and submit the machine to your will! (bend it and use C clamps)

Well my power scythes finally came in but I admit they have not lived up to what I was hoping for. Namely I forgot how fiddly trying to line up resin arms can be. Then I lost one of the resin arms to the void but thankfully a plastic one worked out.

 

It looks good but I already don't want to do anymore.

 

I did build that Centurion with a scythe I wanted as well and he looks good but I find myself wondering if I jumped in too quick on a legion.

 

 

I mostly find myself wondering it because I've found that I don't have as much motivation to work on them as I thought I would when I started and I just can't really think of how I want to keep building out the force. Plus I keep waffling on how I want to paint things even after previously deciding on a paint scheme.

 

 

So these might end up  just a little hobby thing and I may turn that squad of MkIIs into test minis.

 

I haven't decided yet but I am rolling things around in my head.

@BitsHammer I think your models look very cool. Those scythes are fiddly but also feel very sharp because they are so delicate. No comparison to the lumps of plastic Death Guard got in 40k. 

 

I got onto my Death Guard in the fullest now. 

First my rapiers.

Funny detail. I built the one with the beard into the squad as a little Easter egg, like some clueless boomer who can't use his cell phone. Now the antenna is slightly bent at the top during transportation and it looks like it's looking over his shoulder to help him, so I'm leaving it like that.

And my Castra Ferrum Dreadnoughts

And I got me two Vindicators printed:

10% bigger to be more true Scale and the best part: they are one hollow piece each so no annoying building, sanding and all that.

Just took them out and basecoated them and can now paint em. 

Really cool. 

I mean "painting".

;)

Like here:

Basecoat chaos black spray followed by basecoat wraithbone spray and after that I applied Streaking grime. 

That stuff and Death Guard are a combination made from heaven.

Thanks! And I do think they look cool, I've just been finding myself working slower and slower on everything as I work on them with no plan or direction which isn't a great sign really.
