What are you doing today hobbywise?

Got the two Warriors and the tornado built and primed. Working on building the Saurus Astrolith Bearer now. These resin models with no instructions are a real challenge for me.

 

Got some female wizards by Reaper Miniatures in the mail today. Trimmed flash and mold lines off them and based them on 20 mm square bases. They're to be used as a Beasts Lore wizard and Truthsayer for my Empire army.

 

Where are you, Aginor? They've been out of stock in the USA for weeks!

Today I'm going to build Lord Kroak and prime him and the Saurus Astrolith Bearer I built last night. Then I'll get to painting the 24 models I need to have done by Thursday! I doubt I'll make it this time.

 

Trying to pick a banner today for my Saurus Centaurs. Will also be needing to green stuff their shoulder a bit so the shields are not hugging heir bodies, using the Saurus Guard shields here.
Also slightly hobby related, trying to get back to grips with sculpting in Zbrush. Hoping to make stuff for miniature use and that.

 

Basecoated and washed 7 of 8 warriors with spears that will eventually grow into a full block of 40. (The eighth was a paint scheme test that I finished on Friday.)

 

Today, well busy this morning. Later on I should be carrying on with the banner hunt... maybe I could use one of the normal banners. Trying to make these guys unique

Also I noticed something while looking at Forgeworld, the Dread Saurian model has gone up £5. Used to be £145, now it's £150. Makes me glad I saved up for mine ages ago. Well if I did some fancy conversion work with GW bits I could of worked something out. Need to pin the head still on the Saurian, it fell off when my mum nudged it. Meanwhile it took ages to remove temporally super glued shields off a bit of sprue. Always the way...

 

I start with my Dread Saurian!!! Finally!!

 

Hoping to paint more lizards soon

 

Working out a jade technique for the spear heads following Crowsfoot advice, other than that I hopefully will be able to get the other skinks for the bastilidon base coated

 

Monster Mash is live.

 

Built my Storm of Sigmar chaos. Took a bit of a break from the Seraphon, although I hope to play a small game tonight.

 

Got talked into buying minis from a Chinacaster because a friend put in an order and I wanted to see what the quality was like. Got 4 models. Will likely never do it again because the quality was crap and the models just feel dishonest. Considering Idonath went live last week, I'm repaying GW by buying new minis from their site.

 

I played in Week Three of my shop's Four Week Spring Escalation League. 1500 points. I ran a "Kroaknado" list and likely never will again, because it just wasn't fun. I had to remove two of my 66 models during the two rounds the game lasted. My opponent had to remove 39 of his 70 or so within the first five minutes. Didn't feel great.

 

Picked up a Tamiya Triceratops today from an art store. Had the fun of trying to pronounce the 'Tamiya'
Just from looking at the kit, bigger than a Stegadon. Wish I can do more today but being dragged out again later on for a meal..... This lizard doesn't do meals. I want to be at home, enjoy my dinner then do hobby.
Been slowly back to working on this one model I have been, needed files to work with it and got some finally.

 

Today, I'm going to build my Slann Starmaster and work up a color scheme for my Saurus Scar-Veteran on Carnosaur. Depending on how much dayjob work I get done, I may start painting the Carnosaur as well.

 

Just need to do some selective washes on the skinks that ride the bastilidon.
Then just waiting a month for basing material for jungle stuff from China.
