And my big 40K project, expanding my Dusk Raiders plague marines from a Kill Team into a full 40K force:

(I actually painted rather more poxwalkers than this, but they all look pretty much the same...)

And a Primaris successor chapter marine in the same scheme for good measure:

Plus some daemonic allies for them (who will also work fine in WarCry or AoS):

(Again, there are many more nurglings than these...)

And, just for good measure, a bunch of MDF terrain:

(It's TTCombat - very good stuff: chunky, durable, easy to assemble.)

And that's 2020! By my calculations, I painted up some 129 AoS-iverse (and Blitz Bowl) models, 95 for 40K (plus the terrain), and the 4 titans. Not half bad, and I really think I've made big strides in my painting ability to boot - I feel like I've been making real improvements in a way I maybe hadn't for a long while. I did a lot of experimentation with Contrasts and am now officially A Fan, although I'm not sure I'll continue going full-hog with contrast-based NMM (like you can see on the Blackstone explorers) too much in future. Still and all, a good year!

What an immensely productive year! I saw all of these go past in Twitter and the WDYDT thread, and saw a lot of them on the table, but having them all together here makes the scope of the effort obvious.

Gorgeous minis, and congratulations on completing so many of them.

Thanks guys! I was honestly a bit shocked myself at the size of the Underworlds post :D

You’re a veritable painting machine. Very impressive work. *tips hat, rolls it down his arm, and finishes with a flourishy bow*

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

I finished up the last bits and bobs of my Vyronii household force for Titanicus:
Image

That's about 1500 points, street-legal. Not that I'm in much of a hurry to field them as a knight force (the name of the game isn't Adeptus Knighticus after all :lol:) but it does give me all the weapons options I'd want for the Questoris in regular games.
