duz_ Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 It's quiet in here... Too quiet Feels like a while since we had our HQ painting event So time for a new one!

Jacques Corbin Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Yes brother, many of us have kids at home full time now and/or have to be part of a bare bones crew of essential workers that are expected to keep production/maintenance as close to pre pandemic levels as possible. Honestly, I miss lore discussions and battle reports the most. I need to get my man cave finished, and have some home games.

WAR Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Our last one was a Commander event. Why not do a single Elite choice model (Dreads/ Apothecary/ Ancients/ Company champions/ etc) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363568-hobby-event/#findComment-5514445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewarriorhunter Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 There's an ETL light starting up in May, do we want to run something alongside that? I won't be pledging my Tau commission since I feel like that's cheating, but something might help motivate me to get some of my Sicarii models done.

MajorNese Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'll join the lockdown event, but with something AdMech. So probably over in the other forum. But I still need to get that centerpiece done for AoP (if it does happen this year). Except for that, I have a bit of hobby burnout right now. Spent most free hours of 3 weeks to build a warhound titan and a fully magnetized knight, and now I haven't touched a single bit/brush in 2 weeks. Doing home office doesn't exactly build motivation to spend even more hours at a desk...

thewarriorhunter Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Doing home office doesn't exactly build motivation to spend even more hours at a desk... Preach it brother. Sitting at my desk makes it hard to stay motivated. Now that the novelty of the Tau has worn off it's very hard to want to paint. Although I did have a small bit of excitement today when I realized my new desk is large enough that I can keep my compressor out and ready to use without it being in the way.... silver linings?

WAR Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Thanks, I should be less lazy and link to things when I mention them. I figured you were busy and I'm at work playing on the net so it was team work. I'll join the lockdown event, but with something AdMech. So probably over in the other forum. But I still need to get that centerpiece done for AoP (if it does happen this year). Yeah I think I'm doing my Grey Knight Venerable Dreadnought for the lockdown event. Doing home office doesn't exactly build motivation to spend even more hours at a desk... Preach it brother. Sitting at my desk makes it hard to stay motivated. Now that the novelty of the Tau has worn off it's very hard to want to paint. Although I did have a small bit of excitement today when I realized my new desk is large enough that I can keep my compressor out and ready to use without it being in the way.... silver linings? Luckly for me I'm that essential group that no one cares about so I've been going to work.....But between everything the past few months (best friend dying suddenly in Early November and just get the cause of death Saturday), holidays, covering vacations at work, GF's dad dying due to multiple illnesses in January, moving in with her to help out at her dad's house, GF's co worker/ BFF dying suddenly (brain aneurysm) and then the lockdown. Its been a weird few tragic months here. I my GF convinced me to grab some models to work on so I grabbed my GKs and paints and been slowly painting on them. But GK are boring.......so another project may entertain me. Another idea for an event build a kill team maybe not a good idea since I'm doing the Badab war one.....

Jaipii Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Elite model painting event would be fun. I am also going to participate in the lockdown challenge. Pledging for Raven Guard (Space Marines). I have my Champion and some Vanguard Vets already kitbashed so all they need is to be painted (and a learning process for a couple of new techniques :) ) WAR 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363568-hobby-event/#findComment-5514737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracos Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) MMmmmm I like war009 idea of a Kill Team. I've been thinking of doing something like that for a while with just Sons of Corax as the squad. One each of Raven Guard, Raptor, Revilers, Rift Stalkers ... and Warhawks of course. Edit.

jpwyrm Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 An Elite model would be a good idea and a nice break up from the troop choices grind I've been doing for the past weeks. I've got a nice Phobos Apothecary conversion I would like to paint soonish.

duz_ Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yes I was thinking an Apothecary painting event might be appropriate :sweat: Nice simple single model for those with limited time at the moment Even allow some lore pieces too if painting isn't possible Dracos and WAR 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363568-hobby-event/#findComment-5514947 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewarriorhunter Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 ooh, i like the idea of the apothecary... need to buy one first... lore would be cool. I've been slowly working on my background for the Sicarii and am hoping to get that mostly fleshed out by the end of the year.

thewarriorhunter Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I’d need to get hold of a primaris apothecary but I’d be in. Haven’t done white before I'm trying to figure out what color to paint mine since I'm already really close to white. I'd like him to stand out and was thinking of maybe doing dark red armor for mine with the light gray/white armor color mixed in.

Dracos Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I had a similar thought about doing red for the armor.
