What did you do today.

[Konrad]

I received some 60mm bases in the mail today (for use with my heavy weapon teams), submerged my blue/green tanks in a vat of Simple Green, and tried out airbrushing for the first time with one of my basilisks.

The airbrushing took some time to get used to, but it's certainly faster than painting every tank by hand.
And I kept the stupid sawtooth pattern, because why not.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
I luv me my big gunz too.
I rigged my Basilisks to that the gun platform slides out and I rigged up some emplacements for them.
I should check Forgeworld and see if Earthshaker batteries are still a thing. You could cheese them up pretty bad last edition. I know I did......

After sawing the legs off the Rat Ogre, I got them nearly re-done. And someone stop me before I start putting spikes on the helmet. Stop me I say!
Paint jobs on the SquatBosses are coming along too.

Just for Prim Moar Balloons!
But somehow I don't think the GW store in Namba will agree with my conversion.

@TheOtherDave. If you don't have anything planned for the volley gun of your new scion set I'd love to take it from you. either for some money or scion bits.

PS: Spikes are bad Konrad.

@konrad - spikes are bad, mmkay. They're also a pain in the ass to paint. Just sayin'...

Today I finished reading an Osprey book on the Peloponnesian War. Kinda want to paint up a Greek army now. .

Wouldn't mind giving that a ready myself!

@Yellowstreak - How are things in the heart of Texas? Struck liquid gold yet? Hope you and the Mrs are settling in OK.

[Dekana]

@Dekana - I like the sawtooth pattern, it gives your army its own character.

Thanks! It's different from the splotches and camo patterns I usually see, but I like having something I can call my own. (And if I really thought the pattern was bad, I wouldn't be using it.)

@Konrad: Check out my gunzzzz!
I'm pretty sure the earthshaker batteries have rules in 8th edition, but I've already glued the platforms to the back of the vehicle. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Today I stripped my leman russes of paint with a scrub and toothbrush. Ugh, my poor hands.
I still have to do the weapons, turrets, and sponsons, but I'll take care of that tomorrow.

To late! Tooo laaaaaaate! But they look baaaaad!
Just a few final details and tidying up and it's done!

[Primarch]

Not an awful lot to report painting-wise. Last night I did some work on some walls, painted some skin tones on my current batch of Arabian archers and put some basing material on them.

Today I finished reading an Osprey book on the Peloponnesian War. Kinda want to paint up a Greek army now. .

Wouldn't mind giving that a read myself!

It's a PDF, so we'll figure something out.

As I ponder what color to paint my Inquisitorial Storm Troopers (currently leaning towards bone-white armor with a red stripe and brown fatigues), I went back and did most of the work to finish off a desert hill I started lo these many moons ago, just to make sure my table for NagoyaHammer is nice and dense.

I think your Inquisitorial Storm Troopers should be red. Because noooo one would expect that!

I have a, don't know his name, big hammer, double headed eagle perched on wrist, Inquisitor. Would so love to do a Admech/Inquisition/Blanchitsu-kitbash/throw in a comfy chair perhaps retinue and do some Necromunda or something. Someday......
