I should too. For all that I'm a big proponent of 100 yen makeup brushes from Daiso, I keep using them much longer than I should. 
Feel free to call me Dave!

Re: What did you do today.
I assembled my first beakie marine from the new HH box. I made a few small adjustments to his gun, adding a scope and a silencer, allowing me to use him as a sniper. I have a few more models underway with parts for similar conversions. Pinning seems like a big thing in the new edition, so hopefully a small squad of these conversions will help keep people's heads down.

Overall, the new Mk.VI was easy to build as a stock mini, but the new backpack connectors don't work with the older figures, so any kitbashing involves a lot of chopping and filing.

I'm partial to plague doctor marines over :c marines.

Re: What did you do today.
Part of me loves the diverse sculpts, but part of me hates that I need to nit-pick different, little details on such weak models.

@Grantholomeu - More minis for your Nexus crew? They look great.

Yup. I *might be able to field an all painted crew this month. Well... if you don't count the versatile models...

New ride for the Terminators.
Re: What did you do today.
@Jye - Nice. The shield and other bits from the dreadnought kit really help tie it in to the wolves.
It looks like your primer went on a bit rough in places. The humidity is really unhelpful for getting a smooth finish.

Re: What did you do today.
I waited for a low humidity moment but it was still bloody hot; I think I was hitting parts of it with partially dried airborne paint while trying to spray other parts of it
