Plans fell through today so I ended up painting on the Fomoroid. Now I need to do some work on the rocks, do a lot of highlights, a bit of washing and then its basing time.

What a frocking badass

a bit of a weird compliment. But those bandages are so good 😅

Hey folks,

Long time lurker around these contracts so I feel it's time to get off my proverbial and do something mildly constructive.

I pledge to paint:

1 Crawlocke Jailor & 3 Chainghast

2 Lord Celestants on Dracoth

5 Liberators

and assemble:

10 Vanari Wardens

 

As a stretch, I would like to finish the colours on my Bolt Action Churchill for a Girls Und Panzer side project; still waiting on decals, and maybe get some Witch Aelves base coated and some more Stormcast assembled. Oh, and a ton of Nighthaunts lying about in varying stages of salvage and...

Happy new year fellas! Didn´t update last month, so I have plenty of things to speak of!

Firstly, I spent most of the time painting a Lord Kroak as a birthday gift for a friend, here it is!

Also finished the cursed scuttletide, and done a test shadow warrior and a base for a cold one chariot. The rest is still  WIP (executioners, sneaky snufflers, skragrott, loonboss and now a sub assembled Mangler Squig). 

So many projects!

Small update,

It's been a surprisingly busy week I haven't worked on my Dracoth's as much as I hoped, but I've managed to finish Crawlocke and the 3 (count as) Chainghast  as well as the colours for my Churchill. A little bit lighter than in the anime; and possibly real-life but I'm not a natural tread head, but I'll be using a darker green for Saunders so there will be a noticeable difference outwith tank design. I've still got a little bit of shading to do on the tank, but I need to wait until the decals are applied and they won't be shipped until 17th January at the earliest.

Now I just need to get going on the leather and metallics for the Dracoth's before picking out the fiddly details. 

Happy painting!

Late to the party for this, as I missed almost all threads in 2020 (moving countries and jobs during a pandemic will do that!) but this was massively helpful for me in 2019 so here goes:

Annual Goals: In each of the last three years I've made progress in the battle Against The Grey. this year my new target will be 10 finished models for each new one I buy. To help stick to this, each month I'm going to mix things up by choosing a half complete project I've had on the backburner to finish. On the first of the month, I'm moving on to another project. This should keep things fresh and stop me getting demotivated by falling too far behind my goals.

January Goals: Month 1 is Nurgle. I picked up a bunch of Death Guard stuff at the end of 8e 40k to complement my daemons. I've also got one or two outstanding models to finish for my Rotbringers.  By the end of this month at minimum I will finish:
 

  • 6 Squads of 7 Plague Marines (42 total);
  • 3 Blightlord Terminators
  • 8 Death Guard Characters
  • 49 Poxwalkers

Stretch Goals:

  • Kitbash 5 Nurgle Chaos Knights (S2D, not the giant robots)
  • Paint my five prototype Nurgle marked Chaos Warriors
  • Horticulous and Festus
  • Lord of Plagues
  • 3D print a Great unclean One proxy to round out my Threefold Befoulment.

As things stand I'm nearly there with the Death Guard. The Poxwalkers are primed and ready for contrast so I'm pretty confident of making it to some of my stretch goals.

I recently decided to set myself some goals each month to stay motivated, and got the recommendation  to share them here. So, here's my current January goals and progress towards each:

 

Assemble Kavalos Deathriders – Assemble 5 – Complete

Assemble Mortek Guard – Assemble 10 – Not started

Assemble Mortisan Boneshaper – Assemble 1 --Complete

Assemble Direchasm – Assemble 8 --Complete

 

Finish Painting Immortis Guard – Paint 1 – Complete

Paint Kavalos Deathriders – Paint 5 – In Progress

 

I've also got a few stretch goals, such as assembling Underworlds warbands (I've put together 3 warbands beyond the ones in Direchasm already).
