Started blocking out the black and metallic areas on some tactical marines, mostly working on the bonding studs during a bit of free time this evening.  I regret not painting the pads black and just picking the studs out with metallic highlights!  Still lots of dark areas to block out.  After that I will touch up the white where I’ve gotten messy.  Eye sight and hand steadiness is not what it used to be, which is part of why I think I’ve been avoiding working on these the last month+.

 Kick off of my local group’s semi-narrative campaign is this weekend. So far behind where I wanted to be with the Luna Wolves…but I’m trying to get back into a schedule.

 Very nice job @Shard of Magnus! The studs work well, I find that a very tricky area to finish cleanly.

 

At the other end of the timeline to that, I have finished work on my first scouring-era Cataphractii. I know these are getting a new kit, but I really like the old one. Quite a lot of blank spaces (I guess they had to try and make them Legion agnostic) which has left space to add details and accessories.

Amazing work on the chainmail. I never got the plastic cataphractii because the loss of detail from the resin kit bugged me - specifically that rivet at the end of each leather strap. But resin is a pain and those terminators have not moved forward in my painting queue. I should have kept my Calth ones …

Thanks mate! I will be honest, I cheat: GreenStuffWorld do a chainmail template. It is a soft rubber with the pattern on, you just use it as a press for your GS. It takes some practice but you can almost get a sculpted-look finish with it.

So what you are saying is, I should buy the chainmail press, some plastic cataphractii, carve out their leather straps and replace with GS chainmail? 

That is a tremendous converson @Loquille, love the amount of character in it and look forward to seeing it painted!

 

A quick & dirty army shot of my Scouring-era (a colleague named them "losers club" :biggrin:) Sons of Horus. Aiming for about 35-40 minis total in the army, so have made a start but know this will be a challenge to maintain momentum.

Yesterday was the start of my local group's semi-narrative campaign themed around the Siege of Mezoa. The launch event was 2 linked battles: a 1v1 Zone Mortalis representing a traitor attack on an orbital defense grid control center, and a 3v3 for a beach head assault on the forge world. The 73rd Luna Wolves were part of the beach head assault. This was also my first game fielding more than 2000 points. Ideally it wouldn't have been in a 3v3 match, but my schedule has not been the most accommodating of late.

 

Picture is at start of turn 1 with one of my WIP Sicarans out in front of part of the dark mech player's forces. This was shortly before the Sicaran would come out on the losing side of a gun fight with a large size melta attack bike squad.

More details on the campaign, kick off missions, and additional pictures from the linked battles are available in my blog.

Finished my x5 marines for my Techmarine cohort for my proto-Sons of Medusa.

Remember brothers, there are no reinforcements coming. We are all that remains of the Tenth. But we shall make these mongrels remember the name of our Father one more time before we are gone from the universe.

Happy Heresy!

I played a second game in 2 weeks which is pretty rare for me but sometimes the stars align perfectly! :biggrin:

 

My buddy is playing Black Shields and played some stuff with EC. He had two Land Speeders, Contemptor, Vindicator with Laser and some Infantry.

 

I had my force commander on horse, one Cavalry Squad with 15 dudes and one Squad with 10, a field gun battery with 2 heavy Lascannons, 7 Ogryns, 20 dudes with lasrifle, one Leman Russ and a Malcador.

 

Really fun game. I lost 6:3 but again a fun game.
