A nice collection of old bikers! Cool models; the chest plates and helmets are very interesting. Very tasteful.

[GhostMalone]

So I’ve been working on the next 1k points; just adjusting to the new year with a new job.

 

But I’ve been working more on the marble effect and building it up prior to the addition of the filter washes.

 

 

hoping this stays present after the next stage but it’s all trial and error.

 

I also managed to get this for the collection 

 

 

unopened brand new and not at crazy stupid price hikes.

 

Well that’s it till next time.

Ouch, looked like a brutal game against the Fists!

 

The bikers look cracking, just the right mix of styles. The extra decorations on the Contemptor look cool too.

[TheArtilleryman]

A high level of awesomeness in this thread. At the moment all my investment in heresy is in the collecting and painting, as I don’t know anyone else who plays, so seeing people’s epic engagements is really exciting. You’ve put a ton of great work into everything here and it’s been a pleasure to go through. Following

So I’ve been busy getting the next part of the army ready, pics coming soon… but the next phase is already being acquired 1000 points of space wolves and 1000 points of death guard.

 

I'm currently working on our narrative campaign and focusing on getting our first four boards of terrain started.

 

as a little idea of how insane I have decided to take this project whilst we wait for access to a Bamboo A1, I made the plunge and ordered the first boards terrain off of Etsy.

 

 

 

we are currently nearly at 20 potential players and we have majority of forces represented from mech and auxillia to militia and marines. It’s been great to see the activity at my local club increase and will hopefully to gain traction at an entry level.

 

player narrative campaign packs are currently in the works I just wish I had more hours in the day to finish everything that’s in the pipeline.

I have learned my lessons about continuously trying to slam my head into BS5 gun lines and why I’m never going to succeed 

 

I'm pretty happy with the outriders just as a new addition solely to try a different play style and see if Ravenwing are viable or if it’s simply just a fun way to go pew pew.

i completely feel you, for a decade I’ve rarely played games but I decided to try and get the old white dwarf battles of old happening, so people find the immersion I was personally missing from the hobby.

 

everything is sporadic in this thread and I never seem to stay on task but the reality is, between managing work family hobby campaign etc my thoughts are scattered to the wind.

 

hopefully this thread will continue to become more interesting and comprehensive as time passes, I really should do a finished thread in Hall of honour as the reality of this mumbo jumbo wip thread is all over the place.

 

i also need to not post when I wake up at 4am and compose my responses better

That's a lot of great-looking scenery

[GhostMalone]

 

number two is here so now we wait on the nemesis warbringer and then that project can start and at least be built 

 

I also aquired the STL’s for the Warmaster Titan….. should I get distracted probably not… will I yes

[ZeroWolf]

Ohh 32mm scaled titan 

 

Good luck 

[GhostMalone]

So things have been happening; 1000 point additional force is coming along and I’ve started on the 1000 points of space wolves slowly converting them up.

 

 

better pics later on but the real thing I’ve been working on;

 

 

 

slowly getting the Campaign Player pack made up for our event…

 

 

and the first table of terrain printed and delivered, another 3 boards to go but we are getting there slowly but surely.

[Deus_Ex_Machina]

The wall scenery was terrific. The Agri-World table was fine too. Sadly people apparently refuse to wage war on those green tables as you seldom see battle reports in that kind of environment anymore.

[GhostMalone]

So quick update;

 

board one is here see below….

 

 

could not be bothered resizing as full time dad life is a lot more time consuming then I thought, terrain board 2 is currently being printed by my mate Frankie and we’re getting the spaceport terrain going hard.

 

the Reaver is pinned and nearly ready to prime.

 

a new character for the campaign is built and I have the 1000k point list somewhat finished minus character and 2 apothecaries.

 

the player campaign book is about 40% complete and I have 2 more boards to build and then to order some mats from gamer mats.

 

So in the future I’ll have more updates better pics etc but for now so I don’t let this thread be dead and buried I’ll quickly touch base on the madness that is this undertaking

[Firedrake Cordova]

Why is my brain saying "space Osgiliath"?  

 

Looks great

Exactly what I thought!

[Pearson73]

Looks like some cool stuff's in the works! Looking forward to seeing updates.

[GhostMalone]

So minor update…. Not a good one

 

so in Australia we have had a delayed summer, now in my wisdom I decided to prime the ruins….. now automotive primer needs 24hrs to cure.

 

long story short 27•c when I primed

next morning at 10am it was 42•c….

 

now I didn’t think FDM would melt and warp but low and behold it has, I will be attempting to try reheat and bend the pieces back but at this point that terrain may be unsalvageable.

 

Ill figure it out but yes delay on updates because I did a whoopsie.

[Firedrake Cordova]

Oof, that sounds frustrating.  

 

If it can't be bent back into shape, can it be salvaged through the judicious application of (modelled) violence? (i.e. battle damage)

it doesn’t seem bad but this is one of the easier repaired ones

 

but we will see once I make some time.
