What are you doing today hobbywise?

Just got back from visiting my mum down the south coast of NSW. We had an early Christmas together (as I have to work throughout Xmas). plane was delayed due to cyclone Jasper hitting the far north Queensland coast.
Any way finally finished this addition to my Ogre army.
When I say finally, it has taken me quite a while. This was one of the first releases of GW's FINECAST models back in 2011.
Probably a FINE example of why Finecast got such a bad name. It was a terrible cast as their first attempt at resin miniatures. The existing sword is mostly green stuff. So many bits were so flimsy. A lot of holes had to be filled. Even then paint would disappear into a black hole of nothingness on the mini. I'd apply paint and nothing would happen. Sometimes I doubted whether I had paint on my brush.
So I started this in 2011. In the intervening 12 years I have brought the model out several times, hoping to complete it. Frustration would have me put it away again for another 12 months or so.
Finally, I tasked myself with finishing him. It has still taken me a couple of months in between other projects.
At last, I can add him to the shelf where his brothers are displayed.20231215_130711.jpg 20231215_130722.jpg 20231215_130731.jpg
 
I picked up some paint. Is this what Games workshop prices have come to?

P.s. this store has probably $10,000 worth of inventory sitting on their shelves, and does not offer a discount off MSRP. They still had age of Sigmar first edition starter set, they had at least 50 copies of Leviathan, plenty in terms of everything else.

If I had $200 spare today I would have bought the flesh eater courts launch box.

Well there goes my idea of picking one up to convert into a DoW general for my friend.

I spent part of my day writing up 8th and 6th edition army lists for my Empire and Lizardmen.
 
Let's see, what am I doing, hobbywise? ... ... ... nothing. Absolutely nothing. $3500 of vet bills since November, a new furnace, and having to constantly monitor the sick cat and constantly clean up the mess caused by the cat's illness... means i'm too tired to focus on hobby stuff. Mostly I've been looking at pics of old wfb armies online for Orc ideas.
 
Yeah, Punga Miniatures has quite the incredible range for third-party Blood Bowl minis. I'm going to be aiming to get at least two such teams painted up by my gaming group's season play-offs this year.

In other news, I've finally gotten a start on my High Elves for TOW, courtesy of half of an Island of Blood set I managed to trade for.

I'm fight the urge to splurge on the Snu snu halflings as I already have one halfling team.

At this point most of my teams consist of Punga minis:
  • Skaven (really just a pirate-themed replacement for my current Skaven team);
  • Underworld Denizens;
  • Vampires;
  • Halflings (Pirate-themed);
  • Humans (Kislevite-themed); and
  • Chaos Dwarfs.
