What did you do today.

[The Other Dave]

Nice! I'm glad to see you picked the Best Hat for the organist.

@Jye- Glad to see some paint on that Exorcist. Those things just scream (boom? wail? what noise does an organ make?) 40K in all it's baroque, ridiculous, over the top, grim-dark-ery. You need to play some Bach every time you roll the dice. Those wolves are lovely sculpts are they not? I have a couple I did for a Mordhiem warband . Still use them for various and sundry beasties.

Which is why I'm bringing this:

Wow, that looks great! The Excorcist is probably one of my favorite models in the whole Sisters line - I can see how it'd be a complete pain to paint though. What did you use for the black? It's a really nice effect on a vehicle.

Also those Blightlord Terminators and Riptide look great as well. Honestly, I'm dreading having to fight this stuff - I'm not sure if I'm even able to bring enough guns to actually kill these things.

I wasn't able to get any painting done, but I finally got my transfers put on some of my vehicles, so I'm gonna say it was a slightly productive day. I think my tank commander is finished now. (Oh and you guys get to see my amazing photo setup too - kitchen paper taped to a box.)

@Mattb it's straight Basilicanum Grey

Transfers look good, your tanks are super clean looking

@Mattb it's straight Basilicanum Grey

Oh really? That looks really good for just the one paint, especially the arched reliefs along the side. I might have to start trying these contrast paints out.

Also is the organ player wearing a helmet with stained glass windows as eye lenses? Wow, I'd say that's over the top but then I remembered what setting we're talking about here.

That Exorcist is the 40k-est looking thing I’ve seen in ages, possibly ever. As a dyed-in-the-wool Eldar player I generally don’t do Imperial stuff, but I can’t help but nod with respect at the design of the Exorcist. Skull faced techno cherubs on a missile launcher in the shape of a pipe organ. On a tank.

Respect, 40k. Respect.

[Jye Nicolson]

The Exorcist is the absolute best, except when you're painting it and weren't bright enough to do subassemblies. Then it's temporarily the worst.

Working on something much easier now - the Warcry core terrain. Great stuff and honestly pretty easy to paint, I'm just going straight Snakebite Leather on all the wood and it looks great. I was moved to explain to my wife just how awesome Snakebite Leather is, and she humoured me by saying the wood "looked real"

(it's also OK for leather)

[The Other Dave]

Finished up my Lord of Contagion tonight, meaning I'm all set with my full order of battle (well, I'm 4 poxwalkers short, but not actually planning to field a 20-strong squad right off the bat) for Sunday, knock on wood.



I also knocked out a couple pieces of MDF terrain.

I just bought 72 miniatures online. That counts as hobby progress/regression, right? (Perry American AWI models for those interested.)

[Primarch]

@All - Nice work.

I really need to get my painting mojo back. I've done nothing recently.

Well, buying minis is technically the first step to having painted minis, so I guess it counts as progress.
What did you buy?
