I decided to take a break from Dark Angels and get some paint on this Adeptus Titanucs Warlord Titan that I've had assembled and sitting about for a bit. This is my fifth Warlord titan for the AT game, and possibly the last - at least I have no more sitting about. 😂<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgREpBjkd5hXzYEdKFuPAIuNV6MuMVSmS6E1lcKW3kpg9pAA9Dpe74_gyCfEWJ4uw-iBweEfswgstj8nD77gJf2wqo590XZ2hnwHwXq4UkB4swDkT63rLi5lLcc6ohjZ18-FnWUrcy6qYgkoSNU2_h1baALv6e2iGgiUMmZtmAK6oVdjB63nZwmNbRqvnvw/s2847/Legio%20Ignatum%20Warlord%202%20WIP%20-%202a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Legio Ignatum Warlord Titan WIP for Adeptus Titanicus" border="0" data-original-height="2847" data-original-width="2144" height="429" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgREpBjkd5hXzYEdKFuPAIuNV6MuMVSmS6E1lcKW3kpg9pAA9Dpe74_gyCfEWJ4uw-iBweEfswgstj8nD77gJf2wqo590XZ2hnwHwXq4UkB4swDkT63rLi5lLcc6ohjZ18-FnWUrcy6qYgkoSNU2_h1baALv6e2iGgiUMmZtmAK6oVdjB63nZwmNbRqvnvw/w323-h429/Legio%20Ignatum%20Warlord%202%20WIP%20-%202a.JPG" title="Legio Ignatum Warlord Titan WIP for Adeptus Titanicus" width="323" /></a></div>This one will join the Legio Ignatum as Gladius Noctis.

It's always easier to tackle all the panels this way - but beware. It's easy to get confused when painting different colors on left/right sides, etc. Errors have been made in the past. The hazard stripes will go on next, then the brush painting begins. I like to give each coat 24hrs to dry fully before masking and laying down another color. Overkill, perhaps, but It seems to address most of the issues with masking tape pulling up the paint underneath. Some use lacquer clear coats to add protection, but I prefer to keep the layers of paint to a minimum.</p><p>So that's the project so far. I love painting these AT kits and look forward to making more progress on this one. This leaves a Warmaster Iconoclast for Legio Tempestus as the last of my big engines to build and paint. After that, I only have the new(ish) Direwolves and the Legions Imperialis Warhounds to paint. Then maybe I get to the Knights one day...maybe. I guess they feel more useful for games of Legions Imperialis so there's some incentive.</p><p>Check back for more progress soon. I'm planning to get back in the habit of two posts per week to keep things interesting here and inspire me to make better progress. Ever since the holidays I've been off pace, it seems.</p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!<br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-84464356671493931772024-03-07T08:32:00.003-05:002024-03-08T22:20:16.931-05:00Dark Angels Primaris Repulsor - TO DONE<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwg1-3DeuXx14iuZmeQKHphDj2AuqxH9ODZvcuHOFWiVPWYnhxzVcuS3oCEXDd2Jg6r4-ZSutsocyfejFp8mJEgqWAYT1qJsrSz6D4WwR8WFa0945bWLr2hYJgcLMtZZlKKGGA-nO_g-CG_JCSrijfm-fGoXJzpVccGW96j42E2C6_SC4lU0BHcD0MqMs6/s4032/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20-%201a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels 5th Company Primaris Repulsor" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwg1-3DeuXx14iuZmeQKHphDj2AuqxH9ODZvcuHOFWiVPWYnhxzVcuS3oCEXDd2Jg6r4-ZSutsocyfejFp8mJEgqWAYT1qJsrSz6D4WwR8WFa0945bWLr2hYJgcLMtZZlKKGGA-nO_g-CG_JCSrijfm-fGoXJzpVccGW96j42E2C6_SC4lU0BHcD0MqMs6/w300-h400/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20-%201a.JPG" title="Dark Angels 5th Company Primaris Repulsor" width="300" /></a></div>Well, at long last, I have decided to call the Repulsor project DONE.

So many details, weapons, bling in general. Just a lot. At times I was having a lot of fun with it, and at times I was ready to be done. Plenty more picks of the model after the break if you choose to browse.</p><p>I starting priming my last Warlord titan for Adeptus Titanicus/Legions Imperialis. This one is going to Legio Ignatum. I do enjoy painting tiny titans, so hopefully I'll re-ignite my painting spark. I haven't forgotten about the terrain for Titanicus. I'm just SO close to having all the titans painted. I can't accept excuses not to get these fellas done. Of course I'm kidding myself...There is still two dire wolves, two more warhounds (thanks Legions Imperialis), and a Warmaster Iconoclast. Sooo...not really THAT close to done, I guess. 😂<br /></p><p>Until next time,</p><p>Cheers and Happy Painting!</p><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6XNFkns92w7ML4Yz1VrOhno4D97CzYXGsZVQ-xO-3aW9DtehTLciOysSW_Oiw2H4_Bm6RbiV1YCQKT4bBVvhdkt2tUFMvfSyBlpTiYsxGgjZ-2Ql1TyfceefqDmwxFsQxbt_hVuUMjOjU3LkX_cFu0ycO8obGi-iCYahxe7eDbHFhAYVG_FY7ZIJH2Cb/s4032/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20-%201d.JPG"><img alt="Dark Angels 5th Company Primaris Repulsor" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_6XNFkns92w7ML4Yz1VrOhno4D97CzYXGsZVQ-xO-3aW9DtehTLciOysSW_Oiw2H4_Bm6RbiV1YCQKT4bBVvhdkt2tUFMvfSyBlpTiYsxGgjZ-2Ql1TyfceefqDmwxFsQxbt_hVuUMjOjU3LkX_cFu0ycO8obGi-iCYahxe7eDbHFhAYVG_FY7ZIJH2Cb/w400-h300/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20-%201d.JPG" title="Dark Angels 5th Company Primaris Repulsor" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The sergeant received a new sword arm, belt relic, and tilting shield. Again, small things that hopefully sell the Deathwing motif better in the end. The plasma dude also got a head upgrade to have a fun targeting eye. The pointing arm made the one striding terminator more interesting and the chainfist just makes the squad more useful. Overall, I hope that when painted up these fellas blend in with the new Deathwing terminators - the main difference just being a lack of embossed chapter icons on the right shoulders.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibCZKMQyHAbaOWp_zSqpQkYMFxI2b28pleVyxtLyOmWy4ahmb58w7QwhE5tkoEV0nzWatz7eAoyPWo444-WxWzqMJNun6dEr1-abJABD91iMQXC0Y7fV9clG3XW2a_lbuXQMsc1Ih9WcfLuk-iWkHpQoJOgNzuIwkFrLS6BD7-LXtHsM2VJ1Lfaq7R2gln/s1385/Chaplain%20in%20Terminator%20Armor%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Chaplain in Terminator Armor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="1385" data-original-width="1178" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibCZKMQyHAbaOWp_zSqpQkYMFxI2b28pleVyxtLyOmWy4ahmb58w7QwhE5tkoEV0nzWatz7eAoyPWo444-WxWzqMJNun6dEr1-abJABD91iMQXC0Y7fV9clG3XW2a_lbuXQMsc1Ih9WcfLuk-iWkHpQoJOgNzuIwkFrLS6BD7-LXtHsM2VJ1Lfaq7R2gln/w340-h400/Chaplain%20in%20Terminator%20Armor%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" title="Dark Angels Chaplain in Terminator Armor WIP" width="340" /></a></div><p>The new Chaplain in terminator armor got some small upgrades too, with an eye to adding more Dark Angels flair. The chapter icon back banner is an obvious add, along with a Deathwing tilting shield and relic bit on the belt. The BIG upgrade was swapping the extra Deathwing knight shield for the original to make a new Deathwing relic shield. Some slight modification to the shield, arm and skeleton relic allowed the whole thing to be assembled more or less like the original. I neglected to take a pic of the shield but you can see here that it IS a Deathwing Knight shield and not the original relic shield.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY5Z7WpffL52Zw1T_wIFFRru1HKIA0Icgt9L5GV-aA9FVFnLfB3rt5coAMZ12D69Gfp4O2UIugm-DOuc57QYShp139Q8C6rwkFkARFz3z0VzC8PvCtf2etsS0-G5GBoElYcQS5Tti2UMuo5Kenn3S3z8SnzRL066hyphenhyphen_WTvmOjB8WOZyjOZWrPOYZvzae-j/s3888/Deathwing%20Terminator%20Squad%20A%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Deathwing Terminators WIP" border="0" data-original-height="1595" data-original-width="3888" height="194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY5Z7WpffL52Zw1T_wIFFRru1HKIA0Icgt9L5GV-aA9FVFnLfB3rt5coAMZ12D69Gfp4O2UIugm-DOuc57QYShp139Q8C6rwkFkARFz3z0VzC8PvCtf2etsS0-G5GBoElYcQS5Tti2UMuo5Kenn3S3z8SnzRL066hyphenhyphen_WTvmOjB8WOZyjOZWrPOYZvzae-j/w472-h194/Deathwing%20Terminator%20Squad%20A%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" title="Dark Angels Deathwing Terminators WIP" width="472" /></a></div><p></p><p>The Deathwing terminators were loads of fun to build.

He got a decent upgrade having crossed the Rubicon Primaris and can stand tall amongst his brethren. Scale creep is real, but it IS a much better miniature than anything that has come before. I'm lookign forward to getting some paint on him.</p><p>Oh, and there is the Librarian in terminator armor from the Leviathan box set. I didn't make any modifications there. We'll let the paintwork sell the Dark Angel/Deathwing membership. Taken in all, that's a lot of terminator bodies to fill out the Deathwing in my collection. Thanks to the new book, I have Sternguard Veterans and more Bladeguard to bulk out the first company as well. I'm going to need to paint the six Ravenwing outriders I have as well or risk the Ravenwing getting petulant over all these new bodies in the first company.</p><p>And that's more painting projects in the queue for years to come, no doubt. I really like the updated models and look forward to working on them soon. For now, I HAVE to finish this Primaris Repulsor and then thing about MonsterMarch, when I was expecting to try out a Leviathan Tyranid beast, probably the Screamer-Killer. It'll be nice to paint an actual monster for MonsterMarch, for once. 😅</p><p>I hope your projects are going well.</p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-7187616070956449852024-02-04T20:40:00.000-05:002024-02-04T20:40:57.570-05:00Dark Angels Primaris Repulsor WIP<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrQ7Kj90sC4Xg_DHjrkCDINfoL6UFzniGN3TSxbTDDgaUO71L-L1PeqhLgZvJ7-JVtnDQw2fGnLrDtvyMcT5MnZd6pNRxZEMjKi346JdVf4pCvBh2bFmzjz7da872lL6eIYKp_X8R0Akc9RMusdGBjGLwKUG-7S5GOxiv5Al4rokrg8-uHrgIdUTGGhf7/s2774/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%203i.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Primaris Repulsor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="2119" data-original-width="2774" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrQ7Kj90sC4Xg_DHjrkCDINfoL6UFzniGN3TSxbTDDgaUO71L-L1PeqhLgZvJ7-JVtnDQw2fGnLrDtvyMcT5MnZd6pNRxZEMjKi346JdVf4pCvBh2bFmzjz7da872lL6eIYKp_X8R0Akc9RMusdGBjGLwKUG-7S5GOxiv5Al4rokrg8-uHrgIdUTGGhf7/w472-h360/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%203i.JPG" title="Dark Angels Primaris Repulsor WIP" width="472" /></a></div>Greetings and welcome back.

I can't really explain that except that it's tough feeling a sense of urgency when I know I won't be going with this piece any time soon.

I really don't like allowing myself room to give up on a project in progress - it gets too easy then to give up on all of them. <br /></p><p>Regardless, I'll have progress on *something* to show for my next post.

I thought I'd share my experience with the <a href="https://us.battlefoam.com/legions-imperialis/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Battle Foam trays for Legions Imperialis</a>. At the time of this writing, Battle Foam does not offer a specific foam try set just for the Legions Imperialis box. Undaunted by this, I forged ahead and ordered four trays anyway with the expectation of storing them...elsewhere.

If only I had stopped there! I simply needed more...and so here we are; maxed out, but still in the box, for now. The trays are ever so slightly longer than the box is wide so the fit is tight. But the trays aren't so deformed by this that it affects their ability to store the models safely. And it isn't much trouble getting them in and out - in fact I expect it to get easier as the foam compresses over time and gets used to being in the slightly tighter space.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6-SmP1lFBumebbK5zRqAHirLUuK6WTBMkk5D9qobmi3yUVTDDlqWwlLEaiZBwn7GBSmdySQP-FYIGCGEZMYH3cf7RXxk6G0P3243-2UBJhkbXXDiUSkjjB37hBmNqtsgVed3Ce3YJTu3IVZbSGDTJlG8eMgj9uBrbyLbIqoTWu8z2vk18GdnNufZc4yu/s4032/LI%20Storage%20-%201c.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Legions Imperialis Storage" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6-SmP1lFBumebbK5zRqAHirLUuK6WTBMkk5D9qobmi3yUVTDDlqWwlLEaiZBwn7GBSmdySQP-FYIGCGEZMYH3cf7RXxk6G0P3243-2UBJhkbXXDiUSkjjB37hBmNqtsgVed3Ce3YJTu3IVZbSGDTJlG8eMgj9uBrbyLbIqoTWu8z2vk18GdnNufZc4yu/w240-h320/LI%20Storage%20-%201c.JPG" title="Legions Imperialis Storage" width="240" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4U4ZNp8uGNTlTEAOv5lBTn67wdpbAkIxXC24wfB4UB06RtJ4fvCGUfgKTSmh0GpArVtjCpDQXPox_s94lzTcnqVzCX0IMBvOubyo2Iyj6inQAptITsJwdzB4kcRg8nFy6WrA6Rw3_GO1pYbLUj5P_n2sttaL3tti7OVzZuPFp32nXClJ006vd1DekZAAs/s4032/LI%20Storage%20-%201d.JPG" style="margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Legions Imperialis Storage" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4U4ZNp8uGNTlTEAOv5lBTn67wdpbAkIxXC24wfB4UB06RtJ4fvCGUfgKTSmh0GpArVtjCpDQXPox_s94lzTcnqVzCX0IMBvOubyo2Iyj6inQAptITsJwdzB4kcRg8nFy6WrA6Rw3_GO1pYbLUj5P_n2sttaL3tti7OVzZuPFp32nXClJ006vd1DekZAAs/w240-h320/LI%20Storage%20-%201d.JPG" title="Legions Imperialis Storage" width="240" /></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I utilized good ol' eBay to double the infantry sprues from the original box.

I very much like the amazing details found on these digitally shrunk models. It is just so different from the epic tanks of old. The extra tank slots that I didn't fill now hold the overflow infantry and extra tank turrets. As you can see, there isn't a space to spare now. This will only become a problem as GW releases new models that compel me to override the voice in my head that constantly reminds me that I will very seldom, if ever, actually play this game. That voice is such a nag!<br /></p><p>At the point that new trays are required, the whole mess will likely move into a new box. There are folding boxes out there that fit these trays nicely and I picked up a 10 pack off Amazon that house my Aeronautica Imperialis collection currently. These trays are the same size as those, and the same used for Adeptus Titanicus as well - so convenient!<br /><br />I very much like Battle Foam trays. It's not the cheapest option; but I can't fault the results and have been using them for all of my mini storage needs for years now. I personally don't have a need for the bags and cases offered to hold the foam, but it's there too if you need it. </p><p>I hope there is some inspiration here for anyone looking to use Battle Foam trays for their collections.</p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!</p><p> <br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-76021540830143278402024-01-24T12:35:00.003-05:002024-01-24T12:35:37.782-05:00Dark Angels, Legions Imperialis and other Odds and Ends<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPh4V6IQMrQ0BMthbLshb9Mj1UetHMUZs7pXKkLwlEfCf7RTcl8Y43YmP7lmvjler4joXIrWR0xXt4DcQtPsP8yVMogJIggV7Hqf_zbHkIgl37DqF-u6O5_9Z4C7_omnNaGXnJpoC4uhmgzWhBmngTWRxCR2GX8Upe55dw3Hg8ULgq6eO2mT3xYWSTxTE/s2964/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%202g.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="2376" data-original-width="2964" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPh4V6IQMrQ0BMthbLshb9Mj1UetHMUZs7pXKkLwlEfCf7RTcl8Y43YmP7lmvjler4joXIrWR0xXt4DcQtPsP8yVMogJIggV7Hqf_zbHkIgl37DqF-u6O5_9Z4C7_omnNaGXnJpoC4uhmgzWhBmngTWRxCR2GX8Upe55dw3Hg8ULgq6eO2mT3xYWSTxTE/w464-h372/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%202g.JPG" title="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" width="464" /></a></div><p></p><p>Hello and welcome back! I've been resistant to post as I've not felt there was much of interest to show lately, despite remaining busy with the hobby. However, I think now I've built up enough content to make a meaningful post, so here we go. 😂</p><p>The Dark Angels Repulsor continues, but has been sorely neglected as the hobby butterfly in me spent way too much time collecting and assembling tiny forces for Legions Imperialis. Maybe it's my age or the decades I've spent in the hobby, but it's so much fun, and easier, to collect and store tiny models in favor of the larger ones. Some day, I should do an updated post on my hobby space to reveal the scale of my operations. It's....a lot.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWSDNBQpF_akQistE8aKpvzR8E72lwZ2tOooI2DKwE8wvjIkzruCZcP3U5lK8qHvoaqIVksIe69NUr3UQsuuyddVweWBJwevDk_eegAx9y_Z_u4BUrKkfI0_TxyC8YaLGjMQ963KXT9-7fd-RQ6RZKBOz2o_qFVNi7gB5QywzV3QAnEBCUZzdQfPLNlCY/s3824/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%202d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3824" data-original-width="2917" height="439" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFWSDNBQpF_akQistE8aKpvzR8E72lwZ2tOooI2DKwE8wvjIkzruCZcP3U5lK8qHvoaqIVksIe69NUr3UQsuuyddVweWBJwevDk_eegAx9y_Z_u4BUrKkfI0_TxyC8YaLGjMQ963KXT9-7fd-RQ6RZKBOz2o_qFVNi7gB5QywzV3QAnEBCUZzdQfPLNlCY/w335-h439/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%202d.JPG" title="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" width="335" /></a></div><p></p><p>Anyway, I've been slowly poking away at this Repulsor.

Better to do *something* and keep momentum than get caught up with painter's block and do nothing. So I'll paint whatever captures my attention on a model until I get back in the grove and inspiration or vision takes back over. I think I'm just side tracked by Tyranids which I had planned to be painting by now before getting further distracted by Legions Imperialis. Squaduary was to be a Tyranid unit from the 40K Leviathan box and for Monster March, a large model from the same (likely the Screamer Killer). </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWRH_El2L_HkaGNjlFpQ9yXnMMYJ06f86ne4nBGGe19HjsPR79iosk8LAB7ZLLVWRrOXd89Hm5LfKlEPtZ-JAHnHsErq_AMUrgnJhyphenhyphenC4nPezuKEoV2Rf_554bq57QN3FzCpCz5xEQtd8QTqYBzi4k6srrLnE7CQyfpk6NTOesNyLtdfILRhyphenhyphenhp1snnjlF2/s3435/IMG_E2130.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Adeptus Titanicus Terrain WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3435" data-original-width="3021" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWRH_El2L_HkaGNjlFpQ9yXnMMYJ06f86ne4nBGGe19HjsPR79iosk8LAB7ZLLVWRrOXd89Hm5LfKlEPtZ-JAHnHsErq_AMUrgnJhyphenhyphenC4nPezuKEoV2Rf_554bq57QN3FzCpCz5xEQtd8QTqYBzi4k6srrLnE7CQyfpk6NTOesNyLtdfILRhyphenhyphenhp1snnjlF2/w351-h400/IMG_E2130.JPG" title="Adeptus Titanicus Terrain WIP" width="351" /></a></div><p><br />Now I'm undecided. I have a planned Adeptus Titanicus game looming large in March and I'd like to have painted terrain for that...so Squaduary is likely to be a large squad of buildings/ruins now. 😂 Which may then carry on into MonsterMarch! Ugh, no, that's no good. I have plenty of titans for the game, so hopefully I can paint an actual (Tyranid) monster for MonsterMarch - I normally paint a tiny titan or other large 30k/40k model. <br /></p><p>Anyway, time will tell. Stop back in a couple days to see how I am using Battle Foam trays to store my current Legions Imperialis models in the original box. It's not going to last if I buy even a single new model for the game, but it's fun for now. I was sort of hoping to convince myself NOT to by a single new model (can't fit!), but I guess we know how that conversation typically goes...<br /></p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!<br /></p><p></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-64570437974145935982024-01-12T10:10:00.003-05:002024-01-12T10:10:58.228-05:00On the Workbench [January] - Legions Imperialis Ruins!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIa-jPHcwNl-qIosPfgOisWlQVpPL6qqUH8RfsaEGkbQbaHHDJEhJz2LejPz3FR7fyN5b-hlYmtaPD2eZ3nY1M8Sit1-n4Uld0dbWQ-Dw5wriKdEEdSqsKuQgtFRZoxTmMEpZ-0C0W-gH-5vptWbVw-oR4_jeT8vpzZcEA9z5IUQpOYRAHjcu-GoZfC-G/s3737/Epic%20Ruins%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Legions Imperialis Ruins WIP" border="0" data-original-height="2170" data-original-width="3737" height="312" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGIa-jPHcwNl-qIosPfgOisWlQVpPL6qqUH8RfsaEGkbQbaHHDJEhJz2LejPz3FR7fyN5b-hlYmtaPD2eZ3nY1M8Sit1-n4Uld0dbWQ-Dw5wriKdEEdSqsKuQgtFRZoxTmMEpZ-0C0W-gH-5vptWbVw-oR4_jeT8vpzZcEA9z5IUQpOYRAHjcu-GoZfC-G/w536-h312/Epic%20Ruins%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" title="Legions Imperialis Ruins WIP" width="536" /></a></div><p></p><p>Greetings and welcome back. Still obsessed with tiny models, I dug around among my dusty shelves to find the two sprue of Epic scale ruins I had snagged on eBay shortly after Adeptus Titanicus was released. For AT, there really wasn't a need for these empty shells, just line of sight blocking terrain. So I never built it. Instead I cribbed a piece here and there to put on the bases of larger titans. I think these were released during the time that the Epic Warhammer game was available, but I wasn't really playing that back then - though I did pick up a bunch of Ork stuff...wonder where that got off to?<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_JIv_a2eLUicUwcWSVJaVKqsP5lERc5qnNM_wVynYAGyVV6DRiinXB2n8kkWe9Wi7CzW21ImuJ0DeNdfMJMUPY-fGya5LYl_fh6veOblb5KwNufb-yMyvxZrK4aqaAF9S-WnjmSqip9UJ1p6FT_N70y9Y6bx3BTu2Th3WN5cu1IjP-8xH96xrT77wdlL/s2711/Epic%20Ruins%20WIP%20-%201b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Legions Imperialis Ruins WIP" border="0" data-original-height="1779" data-original-width="2711" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_JIv_a2eLUicUwcWSVJaVKqsP5lERc5qnNM_wVynYAGyVV6DRiinXB2n8kkWe9Wi7CzW21ImuJ0DeNdfMJMUPY-fGya5LYl_fh6veOblb5KwNufb-yMyvxZrK4aqaAF9S-WnjmSqip9UJ1p6FT_N70y9Y6bx3BTu2Th3WN5cu1IjP-8xH96xrT77wdlL/w400-h263/Epic%20Ruins%20WIP%20-%201b.JPG" title="Legions Imperialis Ruins WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>There are some great details on these tiny broken buildings that will really stand out with some paintwork and transfers.The size is close enough to fit in with the other Adeptus Titanicus terrain that has been released so far.

First legion Dark Angels are my main army choice, but I would like to bulk out the Auxilia to a decent size as well. This will be another game I can't count on my gaming crew to invest in, so it helps me to have two forces, in order to con various friends into a game or two at some point.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjliwmeENlXbeYJu5SR5fmmO7YjscyQsgBkrvWwVQeRk1rUDCG-EqDD8vULTw95MHDwfXEUGz_WBJ1Vg6YOkKuNpNcn6ykAiEbnfplIQETwmMlpWtJqMedznMNyfvdyWok2BZlb4gs8_IOs9qJBMIfaqrqM14VPpGHLBg_cIR0wFL2NiM6cwqaptqiMto23/s2708/Inital%20builds%20WIP%20-%201c.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Legions Imperialis WIP" border="0" data-original-height="2061" data-original-width="2708" height="305" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjliwmeENlXbeYJu5SR5fmmO7YjscyQsgBkrvWwVQeRk1rUDCG-EqDD8vULTw95MHDwfXEUGz_WBJ1Vg6YOkKuNpNcn6ykAiEbnfplIQETwmMlpWtJqMedznMNyfvdyWok2BZlb4gs8_IOs9qJBMIfaqrqM14VPpGHLBg_cIR0wFL2NiM6cwqaptqiMto23/w400-h305/Inital%20builds%20WIP%20-%201c.JPG" title="Legions Imperialis WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>I even got the two Warhounds built and all the weapons magnetized. I have a planned Adeptus Titanicus game day coming up in March so I was inspired to get these two going. Not sure I will put time into completing them though - Squaduary and Monster March loom large and I have other thoughts for those challenges. I think the rest of the month of January will be spent painting terrain for the March AT game - and dare I say some future Legions Imperials gaming??</p><p>Oh! I also got another Aeronautica Imperialis game in over the holiday break. Great fun! It's too bad to see that game get dropped and shrunk to Legions Imperialis play. So many cool tiny planes and potential there. I'm glad I shelled out for all the models and rules as they came available so I can keep on playing it from time to time. </p><p>Well, welcome to 2024. Time to get (keep?) cracking on the hobby projects. There's no rest in the Grim Dark.

The blog has been still for a bit, but we haven't been idle over here at 262krieg. I picked up my copy of Legions Imperialis and couldn't resist the lure to start assembly. I've been painting pretty steady for a while now and the break before the (already busy) holidays has been a treat. I've been plugging away building a handful of detachments each night over the last week or so to get to this point. Not much to share on a day-to-day basis!<br /></p><p>As it is, I have just the one picture to share today. Above you can see Solar Auxilia on the bottom tray and my completed Adeptus Astartes models on the tray above. Besides the Legions Imperialis game box, I picked up a box of Rhinos, Karatos tanks, and Baneblade tanks. The kits are fun to build - maybe a little fiddly for my large old hands - and go together pretty well. I am missing one 25mm base from the box set apparently, so I subbed in an old traditional beveled 25mm base for one walker. Should be easy enough to pop him off later should I manage an extra base somewhere. Otherwise it's playable enough as is.</p><p>Last up will be to build the Malcadors and Leman Russ tanks from the box set. Then I'll be done with this initial batch. There are still the two warhounds, of course, which will get built at some point. However I have a large number of Adeptus Titanicus titans for any game I wish to field them in all ready painted up. I have a handful of Aeronautica Imperialis planes painted too but I need to paint up more variety for the space marines. My marines will of course be drawn from the First Legion, Dark Angels. Not sure just yet when I'll get to putting paint on these bits.</p><p>I would have loved to love the rules more. I don't know that they are bad - I was just hoping for some simplification like has been seen with Titanicus and esp. Aeronautica Imperialis. Scanning the rules here, this feels like a big game of Warhammer 40K with smaller models. Which is certainly cool, of course. Who doesn't want to field large varieties of big tanks, titans, aircraft, etc. without the high cost and storage of the 28mm cousins (OK, fair point - Legion Imperialis is not cheap either to play at scale!). </p><p>I just don't see this getting played much, is all. Tiny plans and titans is just going to be easier to set up and get going with the handful of folks I can still muster to game with on the table. </p><p>Regardless, they are still going to be a blast to paint up and a welcome, nostalgic bit of kit to have in the collection.</p><p></p><p>Hope you are enjoying this holiday season how ever you choose to celebrate it. </p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!<br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-29167917707967117212023-12-03T17:56:00.000-05:002024-01-05T10:46:31.516-05:00On the Workbench [December] - Dark Angels Replusor and a Surprise!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnXvR2UX31q0-FD7SBIWVAwL4ZwkJ2Mab0xO-520_mJwTGi0P7dbCuTaOKr6aHx0vSeHVD6LvKGtvusSEixQKgTPuF7plC6A-fnKJ32NG0RMLsAW2a_1nHKiPgLjjcx3T7r5y-jWardzTS_xmOo-rTY1aEdY9hwhTVHycGqst_YDA0oPcFoW7taw4KLyU7/s3024/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%201f.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnXvR2UX31q0-FD7SBIWVAwL4ZwkJ2Mab0xO-520_mJwTGi0P7dbCuTaOKr6aHx0vSeHVD6LvKGtvusSEixQKgTPuF7plC6A-fnKJ32NG0RMLsAW2a_1nHKiPgLjjcx3T7r5y-jWardzTS_xmOo-rTY1aEdY9hwhTVHycGqst_YDA0oPcFoW7taw4KLyU7/w400-h400/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%201f.JPG" title="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" width="400" /></a></div>Greetings and welcome to another edition of on the workbench.

I still have to attach the stowage that comes with the kit, prior to priming for paint. I chose an odd, yet mechanically fearsome looking head after seeing the cool mini-gun that comes as a turret option. Since crew are often techmarines, this seemed a fitting and simple change to the kit. This guy looks plenty ready to lay down some covering fire as the squad inside disembarks. I think it's the exposed head from the Primaris Techmarine kit.<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjhTtfEtMP60aHvGBO2R8lyTZKhlHov3l_sMevkYx0dIHlGNLI3vQvZPB6z0Nb9F8HeDLJCkZFez8e-oP8ZHeLTRFTToETiny_esQO_6jqSBI_6O0fGdIkcHmBZatP0Tuo7Upj0t1CHlPQVYzBw3EixaS95PDoncdJXFtsOZyNPBMeqPaEo1iAkJnFimPa/s4032/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%201d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjhTtfEtMP60aHvGBO2R8lyTZKhlHov3l_sMevkYx0dIHlGNLI3vQvZPB6z0Nb9F8HeDLJCkZFez8e-oP8ZHeLTRFTToETiny_esQO_6jqSBI_6O0fGdIkcHmBZatP0Tuo7Upj0t1CHlPQVYzBw3EixaS95PDoncdJXFtsOZyNPBMeqPaEo1iAkJnFimPa/w300-h400/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%201d.JPG" title="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" width="300" /></a></div><p>There is space for lots of Dark Angels icons in this tank...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKr0uWwzdS9eKzPJmyk2dif8kth8NfOGnJ9d4RlV-6wlj-dMM55cRl_mV-NY7aZlgvx-8UBU6mRUco0KCp5LY3uEPceEp19xY7mPI9OuiHy9YlI6ilheBPeVhfcnyBY19U-u7vzObMh5f37zJQukIsghGmvoq7-iuN3a8YALv-Xr9CxpadNOMwzBu-FUdn/s3024/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%201e.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKr0uWwzdS9eKzPJmyk2dif8kth8NfOGnJ9d4RlV-6wlj-dMM55cRl_mV-NY7aZlgvx-8UBU6mRUco0KCp5LY3uEPceEp19xY7mPI9OuiHy9YlI6ilheBPeVhfcnyBY19U-u7vzObMh5f37zJQukIsghGmvoq7-iuN3a8YALv-Xr9CxpadNOMwzBu-FUdn/w400-h400/Dark%20Angels%20Repulsor%20WIP%20-%201e.JPG" title="Dark Angels Repulsor WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>And so many guns! In 10th edition, it doesn't seem to matter what you pick for the defensive weapons (grenade launchers, storm bolters, etc.), so I went with all grenade/rocket launching options. Otherwise this bad boy is set up to move out and break armor, once it deploys it's cargo onto an objective. Maybe an odd choice for a transport, but the rule of cool wins every time. I've also grown tired of magnetizing everything when I hardly play any games. I end up with lots of fiddly weapon bits laying about to keep track of with no real use for them.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ivDcbxJaxg4L2aFwS5oRR7NmtXxqpZPftO4rU7a0kUTIaZ8vFDNdLqQjvNq-2lTcDJclK8wJ7ys9hQKbldh7iTFT8kNzyUQ5u6F0nPwMcXF6KS1RGcvl2dZLcNrQQEWt6Ii9cI-D9nxpjl3ZMbZE8uQmqlrxDA2iyhSXCCAdIi1oP5WA90mfG2HpFYnB/s3024/Leviathan%20Box%20Set%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Leviathan Tyranids WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3ivDcbxJaxg4L2aFwS5oRR7NmtXxqpZPftO4rU7a0kUTIaZ8vFDNdLqQjvNq-2lTcDJclK8wJ7ys9hQKbldh7iTFT8kNzyUQ5u6F0nPwMcXF6KS1RGcvl2dZLcNrQQEWt6Ii9cI-D9nxpjl3ZMbZE8uQmqlrxDA2iyhSXCCAdIi1oP5WA90mfG2HpFYnB/w400-h400/Leviathan%20Box%20Set%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" title="Leviathan Tyranids WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p>And now for the great reveal! For the first time since 3rd edition, I'm entertaining a new 40k xenos faction. Anyone who follows the blog knows I have stuck close to imperial forces since the beginning. The only exception has been specialist games where I may paint a few xenos (Aeronautica Imperialis and Blackstone Fortress come to mind). I had a sizable collection of Tyranids starting w/3rd edition that predate the blog. Those were given away to a friend during the era of 4th edition and I never looked back...until Leviathan.</p><p>It's probably because I've slowly grown weary of painting power armor, but these Leviathan era models have really captured my imagination. A second motivator is the drive to have a second force to play against my various marine factions when and if I'm able to con any friends into tackling 10th edition. That is not very likely to happen - tiny titans and airplanes have proven quicker to play and just as satisfying for a pickup game - but I can dream.</p><p>So that's what I have on the workbench. Expect to see the Screamer Killer during Monster March next year, at the very least. Squaduary may see one of the other broods on the table. I haven't abandoned my other projects, and I now have Legions Imperialis in the backlog...so we won't go all buggy at once. But the bugs will make an appearance through out the rest of the season here and there (and on into the next season, no doubt).</p><p>I'm looking forward to trying my hand at painting something more organic. This force allows me to run a combat patrol game and that may be where it stops. But there are certainly a few other great new Tyranid kits out there. However, unless some serious gaming comes out of the wood work, I will not add to the force until it is entirely painted and in the done pile. That's my commitment. No need to pile on a bunch more models I'll never get to. 😂 If you are thinking "Too Late!", you are not wrong.</p><p>That's it for now.</p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!!<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-52974740038009756552023-11-21T14:40:00.001-05:002023-11-21T14:40:57.846-05:00Dark Angels Company Heroes - TO DONE<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjtw47tZ8PAUDv2R9a6TxivF4yO3-3hJTqmanN1j2fQg0rSbbdk5SOLys1GBSXAueZMi5wYo1udiUoPqiCASVjBI7BPpSmhugip5i3d2bP3MEfq6Ej63THNVomqgNl_Krhs0XwCEIFlL278P_cb6_zsKzVB7PYb6yKFDnHzf9Eu5YVxYkD-oSQlZx2EZlF/s4032/DA%20Company%20Heroes%20-%201b.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels 5th Company Heroes" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjtw47tZ8PAUDv2R9a6TxivF4yO3-3hJTqmanN1j2fQg0rSbbdk5SOLys1GBSXAueZMi5wYo1udiUoPqiCASVjBI7BPpSmhugip5i3d2bP3MEfq6Ej63THNVomqgNl_Krhs0XwCEIFlL278P_cb6_zsKzVB7PYb6yKFDnHzf9Eu5YVxYkD-oSQlZx2EZlF/w473-h355/DA%20Company%20Heroes%20-%201b.JPG" title="Dark Angels 5th Company Heroes" width="473" /></a></div><p></p><p>So here's a fun little project I have been working on since DreadTober 2023.

This was a non-obvious outcome when I was first considering the grey plastic veterans next to the completed Ancient.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3H12y-6ALPMCCFoUPVEm5nYzsry1yp0-fbV9iEQ12XXJbWBWkR8tgvR6n3AnlJpmY7AoFErjGUUYLUwfYc7umYde69Y7JZ7-azEO4fYu0g_ykBDzSRbzkVAzjwNS-8lnS1VBJCmdGBJz_GrBUzSIXNNjQlf49M131OSAes-18DI-WAk0MNUCmt0wKMode/s320/to%20do%20badges%202023-24.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="318" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3H12y-6ALPMCCFoUPVEm5nYzsry1yp0-fbV9iEQ12XXJbWBWkR8tgvR6n3AnlJpmY7AoFErjGUUYLUwfYc7umYde69Y7JZ7-azEO4fYu0g_ykBDzSRbzkVAzjwNS-8lnS1VBJCmdGBJz_GrBUzSIXNNjQlf49M131OSAes-18DI-WAk0MNUCmt0wKMode/s1600/to%20do%20badges%202023-24.png" width="318" /></a></div><p>So that puts another project in the done pile.

I've been slapping some paint around on these company hero models, with some success. As I described in my last post, only the heavy bolter veteran is from the actual company heroes box set. The second veteran with the stalker boltgun is from a lieutenant kit with a new left shoulder pad and the comany champions helm. The company champion is the previously released limited/special edition model with a head swap. With some paint and transfers I think they carry the image of Dark Angels well enough!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfBUy9geKMI7gA7-PJ53QmJZksNtqdNJQ_KEK2WF6RqHxdP5tgexhmTVLD_pkGO9bmBXYOSeqjq1mE9KG75yf8aEPfYRyaEA1rhuOFamARPmLGXJK2lX8zEPk5YbHduMEMQUTcC6FJ_Bn4Vax71WFcxFFceOjo2WpDf8JC8xkVJFJcq-yHoLtA2vM6B-Ti/s1693/DA%20Company%20Champion%20WIP%20-%202a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Company Champion WIP" border="0" data-original-height="1693" data-original-width="1250" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfBUy9geKMI7gA7-PJ53QmJZksNtqdNJQ_KEK2WF6RqHxdP5tgexhmTVLD_pkGO9bmBXYOSeqjq1mE9KG75yf8aEPfYRyaEA1rhuOFamARPmLGXJK2lX8zEPk5YbHduMEMQUTcC6FJ_Bn4Vax71WFcxFFceOjo2WpDf8JC8xkVJFJcq-yHoLtA2vM6B-Ti/w295-h400/DA%20Company%20Champion%20WIP%20-%202a.JPG" title="Dark Angels Company Champion WIP" width="295" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I rather enjoy this company champion.

For November, I've chosen to complete a unit of Company Heroes to serve as a command squad for Lazarus in the 5th company. I have been collecting the various unique Space Marine character models that have come out. So I decided NOT to buy the new company heroes box when it released. I had already painted up the special edition Primaris Ancient as a 5th Company standard bearer. So I used the special edition champion and recent lieutenant boxes to build a Dark Angels Company Champion and Company Veteran. Then I turned to eBay for the heavy bolter veteran from the newly released heroes box to complete the unit.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzTxu6TMQkAyt0FpOgKT2Im2B-OL6dl3tqdy31UNVzggjqBoTlFJR-T0fl3bdXEZHhyy6d6B5ZmVQ7GKpHI3BFavkbIQ1f5_a_zIQCRFZLNUnur5hIgP35W2rSL_cevnK5tRUT7-Rq6NxDP6RbWqcsRi1p45MWaTiMljYV_5ieYHzskwe22SFhLcgIEwQ/s4032/DA%20Company%20Champion%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Company Champion WIP" border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFzTxu6TMQkAyt0FpOgKT2Im2B-OL6dl3tqdy31UNVzggjqBoTlFJR-T0fl3bdXEZHhyy6d6B5ZmVQ7GKpHI3BFavkbIQ1f5_a_zIQCRFZLNUnur5hIgP35W2rSL_cevnK5tRUT7-Rq6NxDP6RbWqcsRi1p45MWaTiMljYV_5ieYHzskwe22SFhLcgIEwQ/w300-h400/DA%20Company%20Champion%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" title="Dark Angels Company Champion WIP" width="300" /></a></div><p></p><p>I added a classic winged helmet to the champion and a Veteran's tilting shield.

Coming form the company heroes box set, he's already looking veteran enough. With some Dark Angels transfers he'll fit right in. I would have pulled this model from somewhere else too, except the data sheet is so specific on the model's load out with no options. Other than the recent Sternguard, we don't have Primaris heavy bolter models to choose from. And this model is unique and built for the part. I'm looking forward to painting these up in November to match the
Company Ancient and complete the 5th command cadre for my collection.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_Rdpd4J2sshRDJgFqVvCk3SmK8lhUC_Kslr8ujaJSOVfsub6e1Ap5Cosm-SAnPnYd_8w2Oc6k3YtUYG9BTcAoSSZWb1LI150BnUTXbtIcizeQ_666smoraXdr4njty7qgY9oBAFs7tsvLppsKACFAIdxJNTJhOxjLjugRFSKYHpzXZssYyVHvqzG61av/s4032/Dark%20Angels%20Infernus%20Squad%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Infernus Squad WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_Rdpd4J2sshRDJgFqVvCk3SmK8lhUC_Kslr8ujaJSOVfsub6e1Ap5Cosm-SAnPnYd_8w2Oc6k3YtUYG9BTcAoSSZWb1LI150BnUTXbtIcizeQ_666smoraXdr4njty7qgY9oBAFs7tsvLppsKACFAIdxJNTJhOxjLjugRFSKYHpzXZssYyVHvqzG61av/w461-h346/Dark%20Angels%20Infernus%20Squad%20WIP%20-%201a.JPG" title="Dark Angels Infernus Squad WIP" width="461" /></a></div><p>Oh, I almost forgot - I also assembled the Leviathan box Infernus Marine squad and got them based and ready for paint one day.

The Ballistus Dreadnought has come along nicely this week. Most of the details are painted and many of the highlights are done. Transfers have also been applied.

This will fit nicely with a recently completed squad of Primaris Aggressors in a fire support role. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKx86N7vsOiFHVax1GYeKttTJd9R993hRCcbCDHNYzMvJwo7rSpVAqMjjm4zq_Udra9zqHzbvDcI2YW7NgovSVSXH-tRicMTKp7o86HgqkSDxRTlhgzZsr4PEaL88kivLsDVnE7-vRKpEbiogbsgU-HMAzzTMiLDcnYwPUrxxxJFRtOuEsx9puBEkoeZl/s3732/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203d.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3732" data-original-width="2798" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJKx86N7vsOiFHVax1GYeKttTJd9R993hRCcbCDHNYzMvJwo7rSpVAqMjjm4zq_Udra9zqHzbvDcI2YW7NgovSVSXH-tRicMTKp7o86HgqkSDxRTlhgzZsr4PEaL88kivLsDVnE7-vRKpEbiogbsgU-HMAzzTMiLDcnYwPUrxxxJFRtOuEsx9puBEkoeZl/w300-h400/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203d.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" width="300" /></a></div><p>So it was that this dreadnought became the first fire support dreadnought of the 9th company, Dark Angels chapter.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEYqWdCq0JiqfMDi4YGpE5jdSMxSxNm43z3hTztB7JgX64Ij33NeRcTQQfEl9mYs5yhXs8h9mHhyI74jSGmRCqGXuIjCBgN_O59u4ng8ZweOI395DamouziWeoLrzXOUuihvSD8GuAQu4jwJ-OVgWC7Rk5-WwliuWcGZaLPFTY7Lpl6SgRqK1kyZGdfUO/s3355/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203c.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3355" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQEYqWdCq0JiqfMDi4YGpE5jdSMxSxNm43z3hTztB7JgX64Ij33NeRcTQQfEl9mYs5yhXs8h9mHhyI74jSGmRCqGXuIjCBgN_O59u4ng8ZweOI395DamouziWeoLrzXOUuihvSD8GuAQu4jwJ-OVgWC7Rk5-WwliuWcGZaLPFTY7Lpl6SgRqK1kyZGdfUO/w360-h400/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203c.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" width="360" /></a></div>Still need to paint the Crux Mechanicus, but the engine and other bits to the rear have had some attention this week.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjli-3hZEhzqZTFbKVhT9dRB1eA1SYqnVWwqfdKe4FGPUrqla5T0Hja_9maUUU5rJhy4gI_EZGS3eiiHjBFN_fBd3WZdpTfrQl1KXCnFKqnSQEXRJvxUUWtsAFIMOfMhu7SREHBC55Qwn69Gkw3baZdVsYEhN7VxW6LiaCkR8b7FPsCMSnxak-YJ4etDfHv/s3778/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203b.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3778" data-original-width="2795" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjli-3hZEhzqZTFbKVhT9dRB1eA1SYqnVWwqfdKe4FGPUrqla5T0Hja_9maUUU5rJhy4gI_EZGS3eiiHjBFN_fBd3WZdpTfrQl1KXCnFKqnSQEXRJvxUUWtsAFIMOfMhu7SREHBC55Qwn69Gkw3baZdVsYEhN7VxW6LiaCkR8b7FPsCMSnxak-YJ4etDfHv/w296-h400/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203b.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" width="296" /></a></div><p></p><p>A little script for the left shoulder.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyMWML3w6v_9G-TLzgw-QA_UuJ3DfiDmDlUAfWHZ5m-8Q2iJXat5iVdFWom6n-ZkpCpULusCm8dE2jme3CdvmY-FTov6K_XbgQnizRESxjpIVWLzuI6sZQmMjrSNHJz570fki2pmi7VhNcet3D7CGSgGz1gvQIEpKadW0-NklO5Qo5XZJKPtupK_t9hSU2/s3130/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels 9th Company Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3130" data-original-width="2327" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyMWML3w6v_9G-TLzgw-QA_UuJ3DfiDmDlUAfWHZ5m-8Q2iJXat5iVdFWom6n-ZkpCpULusCm8dE2jme3CdvmY-FTov6K_XbgQnizRESxjpIVWLzuI6sZQmMjrSNHJz570fki2pmi7VhNcet3D7CGSgGz1gvQIEpKadW0-NklO5Qo5XZJKPtupK_t9hSU2/w298-h400/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%203a.JPG" title="Dark Angels 9th Company Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" width="298" /></a></div><p>The front got the most attention with the sarcophagus details going down and the weapons getting some attention.

This year, I'm tackling the new Ballistus dreadnought from the Warhammer 40K Leviathan box set. This is a push fit model which I have glued together, except for the feet (easier painting) and the weapons which are designed with slots so they can be swiveled up and down and removed - maybe for future weapon options?!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYHHGD0I2JFyxITcVj7zsNcJe3KyOfmloFUfVRC3A_VywxsjvQdON5WTaHRdp48SzjyQgHRiDzIscNpCGqDkM6xGiI6JGFT3XooDsOTGAlsjnYgap5PdacxjcZ43emsD6vlb5En5WZDXQNCC8fJrXH5GkqtqGAelCjdqpDmBENNmSnsoQKqqJPX6MotDn/s3024/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%201d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyYHHGD0I2JFyxITcVj7zsNcJe3KyOfmloFUfVRC3A_VywxsjvQdON5WTaHRdp48SzjyQgHRiDzIscNpCGqDkM6xGiI6JGFT3XooDsOTGAlsjnYgap5PdacxjcZ43emsD6vlb5En5WZDXQNCC8fJrXH5GkqtqGAelCjdqpDmBENNmSnsoQKqqJPX6MotDn/w400-h400/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%201d.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p>I start with a black primer coat. Here I've used an Army Painter black rattle can. Then I used an airbrush to spray the whole model with Proacryl Black Green, according to the paint recipe I use (see tabs above). I'm having trouble with the proacryl becoming hydrophobic over primer sometimes - not sure why exactly and it doesn't happen all the time. but I think it's mostly when the primer is smooth and shiny like this - not gloss but satin or semi-gloss? It is easily solved by laying down several light coats with some drying time in between. Eventually the paint sticks and covers.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1QsIAbZoU6jf-WF1sldFrKcQkzuRe8rnL9tC28rfm990DVwvViKf49r_DGsVpDm6lZezDJbMVTUQ9TAvGsE4gwFDjNQukq6y8PBtIkM9mEJ_tmeB2GjknitcQy1fB_p2zdjhsbkSO9VZRj0iq8YVfS0-phKY5tWnq0supTHdp0Pw8E_AseNI1b_5vA__/s3024/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%202a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1QsIAbZoU6jf-WF1sldFrKcQkzuRe8rnL9tC28rfm990DVwvViKf49r_DGsVpDm6lZezDJbMVTUQ9TAvGsE4gwFDjNQukq6y8PBtIkM9mEJ_tmeB2GjknitcQy1fB_p2zdjhsbkSO9VZRj0iq8YVfS0-phKY5tWnq0supTHdp0Pw8E_AseNI1b_5vA__/w400-h400/DA%20Ballistus%20Dreadnought%20WIP%20-%202a.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ballistus Dreadnought WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>I love the feet pegs on this push-fit model!

You can still see the contrast between the metal structure of the dread and the armor panels over that. Some detail work will pick out different metals and provide more visual interest to the monochromatic silver shown here.<p></p><p>So that's week one in the bag! I gave myself a head start clearly by having a fully assembled and based model to start with. It's a little outside the spirit of the original DreadTober, where week one was meant for assembly. However, I prefer to spend the month painting. :)<br /></p><p>Now head over to <a href="https://dreadtober.blogspot.com/">dreadtober.blogspot.com</a> and check out the rest of the DreadTober projects!</p><p> Cheers and Happy Painting! <br /> <br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-71736284677537752792023-10-03T08:00:00.000-04:002023-10-03T08:00:00.143-04:00Ravenwing Chaplain and ATV WIP - TO DONE<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8y52LMUDubaofvaZXJN6oAr9TSJmaw3s-GpJSSbY48Tj3JmXTMY64CQQakYtNkSyzaHl7YktCjuEYbpAbpUhMEOgZNaCO-1dP-X6zfkZHLtfWVJKv60LvTaYyCkbztuDaBya6pux3B26LWD1rCyMV8D_OEJ9H9Ex5W2ihr37h3jVJ4qrLY-oljq8ca_kD/s4032/Ravenwing%20ATV%20and%20Chaplain%20WIP%20-%201c.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ravenwing WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8y52LMUDubaofvaZXJN6oAr9TSJmaw3s-GpJSSbY48Tj3JmXTMY64CQQakYtNkSyzaHl7YktCjuEYbpAbpUhMEOgZNaCO-1dP-X6zfkZHLtfWVJKv60LvTaYyCkbztuDaBya6pux3B26LWD1rCyMV8D_OEJ9H9Ex5W2ihr37h3jVJ4qrLY-oljq8ca_kD/w498-h374/Ravenwing%20ATV%20and%20Chaplain%20WIP%20-%201c.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ravenwing WIP" width="498" /></a></div>Well, the lacquer is on and the brushes are down.

There is something quintessentially 40K about these crazy war machines and over-the-top weapons. I dunno; I guess I just like it! What I don't like is how the wood glue grabbed such a firm hold on the top of the large base that it warped it as it dried.

I typically don't water the glue down and forgot that this warping can be a thing. Another bummer was forgetting to use more decal solvent on the vehicle number transfers. I think I did them last and forgot to finish the whole process...the solvent reduces the film around the image so you get that painted on look. Here, you can still see the whole square of the decal film around the number '2' on each side of the ATV. If you compare with the Indomitus campaign badge on the front of the ATV, (above), you'll see the difference. Not film visible around the badge, or the Ravenwing icons on the shoulders, etc.</p><p>I didn't notice until the lacquer was on and there was no option to reduce the film further.

Finally some decent sized Deathwing terminators for my growing Primaris force...are these Primaris marines in Terminator armor or not? I think GW has been careful not to go there, but I have to read more in the book(s). They don't call them Primaris Terminators...so maybe the first born just got bigger pants? 😂 Honestly it doesn't matter a bit - It is just cool to get some decent sized terminators. Maybe a new resized Deathwing Knights kit will come out way over time...</p><p>So that's what's been on the workbench recently. No Infernus marines yet, but they'll get built soon enough, if for no other reason than to fill out the basic Leviathan box list. Once assembled, these models don't give away much if anything from their easy-to-build heritage. Sure, they are mono-pose which stands out when you try to field them en mass.

This models almost paints itself. The details are plentiful and sharp - easy to set a brush to. At this point, enough of the model was completed to glue down the legs and upper torso. Up to this point, these parts were painted as sub-assemblies. I want to spend some time on the head - a Chaplains skull helmet is a focus point on the model after all - so it's the least advanced at this point.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRqAixNvCh4sStuKIa4DHmO8NXB5D1dbOBBYmBKi2a3IrxcUQGSevHdtywh88vqRV18UiP0lcgUwg8H74vpKIDv5qd09UwLUAGtZCf0QiOoqRaz7ijTBPsQCpvOAGfL2AA0aDW4AdJN9F9P0ylD8w1fhxLsbSjw3i4IAfbPQ7ENbzrgiRNdTSKgvSdamXx/s3696/Ravenwing%20Primaris%20Chaplain%20on%20Bike%20WIP%20-%201e.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ravenwing Primaris Chaplain on Bike WIP" border="0" data-original-height="3696" data-original-width="2447" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRqAixNvCh4sStuKIa4DHmO8NXB5D1dbOBBYmBKi2a3IrxcUQGSevHdtywh88vqRV18UiP0lcgUwg8H74vpKIDv5qd09UwLUAGtZCf0QiOoqRaz7ijTBPsQCpvOAGfL2AA0aDW4AdJN9F9P0ylD8w1fhxLsbSjw3i4IAfbPQ7ENbzrgiRNdTSKgvSdamXx/w265-h400/Ravenwing%20Primaris%20Chaplain%20on%20Bike%20WIP%20-%201e.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ravenwing Primaris Chaplain on Bike WIP" width="265" /></a></div><p>I put time in on the book most recently. Rather than some fancy collector's edition, I wanted this book to be more utilitarian. A well worn dictionary or daily cookbook of the 2nd company. So I've gone with a plain leather binding and leather book mark. I have some more weathering to do to advance the worn look. I like how things are turning out though, esp. with the chains securing the book to the bike. At the risk of sounding pedantic, I might have secured the book with the spine facing forward if I wasrhis Chaplain. Much less drag and wear and tear on the book when it isn't scooping all the wind. 😁<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheTp98LAtLNIRkVeCwueq2pSs_aPqy4T66_f5OlSfzpHe5QdivZB75LV1d1f2CfG2RdN7UYK1Y3vrMBkAc0xK7wgAY9t6UXJZCMaMjRoVYt48vHKg_U7ZdLTLMQrn4l6IcJa9uuMAQyWD8phHwdPcILXU-N1d2w4B6r6twKlffYfXgXgUz5bFlEaVLxQad/s3024/Ravenwing%20Primaris%20Chaplain%20on%20Bike%20WIP%20-%201f.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ravenwing Primaris Chaplain on Bike WIP" border="0" data-original-height="2676" data-original-width="3024" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheTp98LAtLNIRkVeCwueq2pSs_aPqy4T66_f5OlSfzpHe5QdivZB75LV1d1f2CfG2RdN7UYK1Y3vrMBkAc0xK7wgAY9t6UXJZCMaMjRoVYt48vHKg_U7ZdLTLMQrn4l6IcJa9uuMAQyWD8phHwdPcILXU-N1d2w4B6r6twKlffYfXgXgUz5bFlEaVLxQad/w400-h354/Ravenwing%20Primaris%20Chaplain%20on%20Bike%20WIP%20-%201f.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ravenwing Primaris Chaplain on Bike WIP" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>Things show up will in profile here.

Memory is one of the first things to go with age, I guess. The static poses leave these guys looking somewhat redundant. However, I decided not to make that a thing with this squad. Certainly I could go in with some scratch building techniques and make some changes, but I just don't thing its worth the time for this squad. The current datasheet allows for a full squad in 10th to have six bikes and an ATV, so that's how this unit will roll. The chaplain then joins this squad for support or, or my first painted squad of three as a body guard. Like the Chaplain, these outriders got upgraded with banner poles and Ravenwing icons.<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaVALb46Kn3S3diydp7Nux7oVfoaexmX51Vy3Nx_ASetz5q6bpHdIHrf0r_O6UxJ8u_PU0dW7yB06Ifs3fWfiOWKxgmpURKYHqo_xp9KUDYLIi0LAPw2l-EJxQmWrK2Xgw1dNvv-VqwWPEFR8PkDJxFik2aI2ivy0g32hq5UV8rpjoqR8-iyOQAFKaWnlx/s3924/Ravenwing%20Outrider%20Squad%20WIP%20-%201b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Dark Angels Ravenwing Primaris Outriders and Primaris Chaplain on Bike WIP" border="0" data-original-height="2035" data-original-width="3924" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaVALb46Kn3S3diydp7Nux7oVfoaexmX51Vy3Nx_ASetz5q6bpHdIHrf0r_O6UxJ8u_PU0dW7yB06Ifs3fWfiOWKxgmpURKYHqo_xp9KUDYLIi0LAPw2l-EJxQmWrK2Xgw1dNvv-VqwWPEFR8PkDJxFik2aI2ivy0g32hq5UV8rpjoqR8-iyOQAFKaWnlx/w458-h238/Ravenwing%20Outrider%20Squad%20WIP%20-%201b.JPG" title="Dark Angels Ravenwing Primaris Outriders and Primaris Chaplain on Bike WIP" width="458" /></a></div>And everyone gets the same base treatment, or course, to match my existing collection. For new readers, this is just a good coat of wood glue and a quick dunk into a bin of mixed size model railroad ballast. I bought two bags of this stuff (fine and medium grit) back in the mid-to-late 90s (yes, no kidding!) and I'm about half way through it. It has been the exclusive battlefield ground cover for my Dark Angels since 4th edition. 😁<p></p><p>And with that, I'll close for today. Check back later to see progress on the painting. The plan is to tackle the Invader ATV and the Chaplain first, and I already have a squad of three painted Ravenwing Outriders. Sometime later in the season I'll tackle the remaining bikes - maybe for Squaduary? We'll see...</p><p>Cheers and Happy Gaming!<br /></p>DAMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08090659574178071006noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605383011445590576.post-83508574946781162582023-09-04T08:00:00.048-04:002024-03-07T21:45:40.622-05:002023/24 Hobby Season Kickoff and To Do List<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw0w2Txg1PcA4KCvNbQayM3L0F2g51kQaxyRpQkEq6qnxa1U37NhklD2JfOVRpTwXYZlIFQTqV00C6A5qLwdzjx1rz_bpy1o0u-5t5Qt5cizeTwUmthCAZWkxxawwgA-nwZkyUeaHf2f9uUl3fwWVa2V-7Z8f06SmUT6mzjsniE37z7gQwwRX9ml40sjoi/s320/to%20do%20badges%202023-24.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="318" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw0w2Txg1PcA4KCvNbQayM3L0F2g51kQaxyRpQkEq6qnxa1U37NhklD2JfOVRpTwXYZlIFQTqV00C6A5qLwdzjx1rz_bpy1o0u-5t5Qt5cizeTwUmthCAZWkxxawwgA-nwZkyUeaHf2f9uUl3fwWVa2V-7Z8f06SmUT6mzjsniE37z7gQwwRX9ml40sjoi/w398-h400/to%20do%20badges%202023-24.png" width="398" /></a></td></tr><tr align="left"><td class="tr-caption"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Image courtesy of <a href="https://www.40kaddict.uk/2023/08/the-202324-hobby-season-starts-soon.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">40kaddict</a></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p></p><p>It is time to join the 2023/24 Hobby Season with <a href="https://www.40kaddict.uk/2023/08/the-202324-hobby-season-starts-soon.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">40kaddict</a>.
