What are you doing today hobbywise?

I starting adding stones to my Bull Centaurs bases and tidied up all of the grey drybrushing overspill onto the black armour pieces.

They're ready for final drybrushing of the armour and other details, while it's gonna be Astrongranite on the base to prepare for more fallen ash.

 

Worked on some terrain. I'm slowly starting to build up a desert set made of scrap cardboard and glue-soaked tissues. I may cut a couple houses and ruins out of cardboard as well. We'll see.

 

Just added mantic games to my storefront.

Hobbying in the hobby wise I've primed several stormcast and chaos warriors

 

Did more drybrushing layers on my Bull Centaurs and did Astrogranite on the bases.

 

I uploaded battle reports of me and my brothers MESBG battle companies campaign

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Today's plan:

errand

pack remaining unpacked orders

more errands, including the post office

fix bad primer job on some chaos warriors (didn't get a good angle from the bottom up)

paint.

 

Finished my 5 Bull Centaurs. Just need to finish the basing on the Taur-ruk.

 

Finished the weapons for four of five Frostgrave Knights. The other one is going to be a musician or standard bearer, so he's waiting on bits I don't have with me. I also painted my first terrain piece and glued together another one.

Currently sitting in my couch building chaos warriors

 

Varnished my 5 Bull Centaurs (thanks for the advice @ChapterAquila92 ) and I'm doing the finishing touches on the base of the Taur-ruk.

 

Put the next layer on a couple pieces of terrain, then plowed through some skaven I had sitting around. I'm trying to get stuff off my table so I can get on to my next project, whatever I decide it should be.

I am almost done with the warpriest on horse.
He is highlighted and almost all washes are down.

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Finished my Taur-ruk!!!!

Really happy with him and his 5-man Bull Centaur unit. But I have to wait until the CD online contest is over to post the pictures...

 

I built things

 

So that was 10pm -6:30 AM today, with a 3 hour nap in the middle.

This morning I've removed sprue gates and cleaned a mantic games Abyssal Chroneas for my commission client. That includes mold lines, flash (not the worst I've ever seen, not the best either)

 

WGA Conquistadors and I'm guessing WGA Late Romans - the latter I assume for your alternative universe Ancient Europe with the Romans having future tech?

Didn't expect you to get into Mantic's Ratkin range, but then you do have some Skaven already, so those will give some more variety to your horde, yes-yes!

Disclaimer: NOT MY WORK PLEASE SEE ABOVE QUOTE CONVERSATION FOR CONTEXT.

I had a completely well oiled post written out, complete with all the bells and whistles and all the formatting.

Then I had a network error on the machine that I was typing on and I've lost all of that now. I will retype it later but here's the cliff notes version:

Confluence of factors caused me to start building a kitchen soup Army out of historical miniatures. I'm doing a bunch of conversions because why not.

Inspired by this guy araden on Facebook. Context photo below.

 

Got some wicked photos taken by a friend of my Taur-ruk and Bull Centaurs for the Chaos Dwarf Online painting contest.

Gonna send them in tonight!

In other news, I'm now planning out my conversion of a Chaos Dwarf Siege Giant.

 

I brought my Astorum titans to a really enjoyable day of Adeptus Titanicus at a local event.

Three games of 1500pts each. I lost the first game hands down, losing all of my titans to knights and a melee reaver from a Legio Mortis Ferrox Maniple. The second was much closer against a custom legio (even ran a warlord titan across the board over the course of two turns), though I lost by 5 points on the primary objective of having titans near the opponent's board edge. The third game however - against a Legio Solaria Mandatum Maniple - was an overwhelming victory at a crossroads.

Overall, I won 9th at the event out of 16 players through points accumulated over the course of the event.

Sadly don't have photos of my games, unfortunately.
