What did you do today.

@pikey and ToD - job's a good un Keep up the good work, chaps.

Today I spent Three. Fricking. Hours. sitting in the au shop to get a new phone. Maaan, but that was hard going. Also, why, exactly, was I refused the rather commonplace option to pay for the new phone over 24 months, built into my contract? That's what I'd always done with Softbank, and what I believe every other fine resident of this country gets to do. *MiJ narrows eyes suspiciously* [AliG] is it cos I is foreign? [/AliG]

This is what I have been working on this month:
A French Chateau

20 more Saxons (the bows are just there for some variety in the unit)

5 Necron Lychguard

A German armoured car and an assault gun

And 3 frost themed monsters for D&D

Primaris Size comparison

Those Primaris types are really tall. The scout looks like a midget in comparison.

[me_in_japan]

Marines have always been rather squat, with scouts being the worst offenders. Primaris are actually normally proportioned. Moving ahead, id be surprised if gw released many more "regular" marines, if any. Honestly, I think this is a good thing, although granted I hardly have a vested interest.

Those avp minis seem nice, btw, and yon chateau is impressive. Good job on the lychguard, too.


As for me, btw, I got bugger all done last weekend, due to going out on Saturday night (a pre-planned meet up with ex-co-workers) and my youngest being spectacularly ill over the weekend (39.6 degrees). Much better now, but sleep was a commodity in short supply for everyone for a bit, there

I finished up my Viking Bondi today. The Jarl and Hirdmen won't be far away.



I also finished one of the 'large' 24ml of Agrax Earthshade/Devlan Mud. I must say even at 1000yen it's great value. I used the same bottle to do my Italian theatre Germans, Afrika Korps, Vikings, Russians, Free French and tons of others. Love that stuff.

[Primarch]

Nice looking Bondi.
Agrax Earthshade is really good. I use the Vallejo stuff myself, it comes in 35ml bottles for about 600 Yen, so is a bit better value for money than the GW version.

[Mike the Pike]

Which shade?

[The Other Dave]

Which shade?

I'm betting Smoke. It's the bee's knees. A bit brown for non-dirty metals (I'm probably going to get a bottle of Nuln Oil for that) but, like Agrax, it can be used to shade literally everything else and is basically a 35ml bottle of talent.
