July Roundup

 Another month, and the hobby needle is pushed forward ever so slightly.

Not a massive month for painting, but got some games in which I guess is the ultimate goal!

July started with more Grimdark future - getting the Eldar tabletop ready (although i really want to repaint them after seeing some cool schemes online).

We got a few games of Grimdark Future: Firefight in and it's great fun!

Other than that, in preparation for some games of Epic I touched up the paint on some Imperial Guard and Slaanesh stuff as they were being filmed so had to look their best!

August should be more of the same - maybe paint some epic from the stash, and some 28mm marines for an upcoming Badab war campaign.

 

June roundup - Grimdark Future... Mostly!

 So June has been a slowish month, in fact I only really completed 5 models I reckon.

Eldar Rangers were something that had been bouncing around my bits box for about 30 years half/badly painted and i decided to bring them up to date. Looking forward to getting these on the table for a game of Grimdark Future.

I picked up some more Slaanesh stuff for Epic and got them tabletop ready, but still need to do some finishing touches, probably will be spurred on if I'm fielding them at some point.

Other than that i catalogued/photographed everything that I have painted for 40k/OPR mostly for a reference for myself for list building.

I also picked up a 'Start Collecting Eldar Craftworlds' box, really just to get the Wraithguard and Wraithlord out of it to give me a decent small Eldar force.

In the coming months I'll probably just try to paint what I have left for 40k/OPR and maybe get back to Bolt Action too, but we'll see! I'm really just painting what I fancy day-to-day which is nice.

May Roundup - Epic, Space Hulk, Grimdark Future

Fairly busy May considering juggling holidays and work.

I started by picking up some Slaanesh Knights (finally!) for Epic, and along with a fresh pot of Emperors Children pink (terrible paint to work with!) I set about painting, using the White Dwarf article on them as a reference as I was struggling to work out what bits were what (very Slaanesh!).

while the palatte was wet, I figured some old school chaos dreadnaughts would compliment them, as well as some Blackstone Fortress Spindle Drones, which I'm going to proxy as Defilers.

As a wee cleanser I repainted my old Ultramarines Thunderhawk to join my Blood Angels and gives me a flight of 3 'modern' ones for future games.

Some Epic 40k Era plastic Chaos Marines in the form of Berserkers and Noise Marines also crossed my path and chucked some paint on them... (I'm not massively happy with the effort here, but they are fine for now)

I then moved back up to 28mm and finally re-painted my Grey Knight Terminator from my childhood. Much happier this time around. This then sparked a Space Hulk/Grimdark Future mind worm and i picked up some new plastic Termies and weapons and magnetised the lot for different load outs.

Next up, I've got more Slaanesh Knights to finish off, and then I'll probably take a short break, maybe circle back around and do some Bolt Action...

July/A bit of August Roundup

Very little progress hobby wise. The weather has been great so spent most if it outside and the times when the pang to hobby has hit, it's been too hot in my office.

I managed to get a wee terrain piece, a couple of Gargants, and some Chaos stuff for an upcoming battle painted, including some rather weird Slaanesh Knights that came out of necessity and what was to hand;

some 28mm Dark Eldar legs, heads and weapons, and for a couple of hours cutting, gluing and painting, they turned out just fine (i think!).

Other than that, I picked up some Rogue Trader IG stuff randomly, and have some actual games planned.

Next up - The ever looming Squats... Maybe this month will the time for them to be painted?
