What are you doing today hobbywise?

Discovered that a retarder medium for Vallejo mixed with my custom wash formula makes a super fun wash to work with especially in terms of doing gradients and stuff and now I want to apply it almost everywhere (where GW washes don't or I don't have a color )!

 

Picked up my Seraphon pre-order at my local GW today, and stuck around to participate in a 4-way 1000pt mash with my Salamanders, as it was the store's 22nd birthday today.

 

Finally got around to getting that £29.99 Hive Tyrant when I visited the toy shop to drop off the miniatures. Got that built today. Ordered a Skink SC to do some work on the 4th Seraphon faction, been constantly back and forth with them, decided how I want them but I'm still deciding on colours. Many wonder why four different Seraphon, it's all part of the stories I like to think up.

 

Scoured ebay for Saurus lots. Found the best results while searching for "Echsenmenschen" on the German ebay.

Got myself 80 Saurus warriors for around 110 euro's, pretty satisfied with that.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Still cracking on with my Saurus Guard. 5 left to do; getting there slowly.

 

Dancing of joy:



Time to read and build

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Also I picked up doen 200 More minimagnets. Cause their awesome and practical to build more then one option of a model.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Having proudly painted the saurus knight shields separately I'm moving to the most painful part which is greenstuffing the Saurus themselves. Some hands need to be slightly extended to fit on their small mounts and some rear parts need to be filled up because the models fit very weirdly.

 

Here they are:


Need to see how much round bases 32mm I have around. Need to order some extra for sure

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Started my SC Skinks Box by building the Bastilodon.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Working on Saurus Guard and Kroxigors, but eying my new Realmshaper Engine still its box.

Patience.......

 

Even if I still have to work, and even if hospital life is becoming increasingly unbearable, the virus dumped my social life to below zero. This means a lot of time to paint. I finished my 30-man Ardboys squad to a good level in 20 days.
After 3 months I finished my 3 Start Collecting Ironjawz boxes!
I wanted to paint my Ironjawz heroes first (Footboss, Krusha), but I think I'll make the most out of the boredom and brush my way through the 60 savage orcs, which I plan on painting in a month. They are already based and green-sprayed + washed.

 

I'm turning a piece of 1/16" square rod into rivets for my grot tanks. Wheee.

 

I made this magnetized bastiladon, check the video!
Unfortunately I started it before the new battletome, when ark of sotek was still a good thing.

Edit: Sorry for dry hands from excessive corona-washing... And it's still cold in Sweden.

 

Very nicely done. I did mine almost the same way(still in progress).
I noticed the magnet on his back in the middle, might steal that one

what about the 2 extra skinks on the sides?
Are you planning to assemble them magnetized or glued, or not at all?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Thanks! Steal away!
I'm actually going to glue them, but I'd like to spray it and paint it first. They're going to be in the way when I'm painting. It's easier with the skinks attached to the Ark and laser.
