Forging on.

Next in the queue for their first coat of red are......

..one Deredeo and a Sicaran.

Next is a Contemptor and then they'll all get their second coat of red. The second coat is always a lot quicker so I find it easier to get several to the same point and batch paint from that point. Once the red is done I'll whack a few transfers on and then it'll just be a case of a bit of detailing and the weathering. I'm still hoping to get these finished for the 9th.

The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge output

As mentioned, I've been taking part in the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge that ran for three months up to about a week ago. It's been a fantastic spur to get things done and this is what I've managed.....

A couple of new toys for the salamanders and a COMPLETELY PLAYABLE WORDBEARERS ARMY (really pleased with that one, hence the caps)

Some other odds and ends

I reckon that's about 80% of my annual output in three months!

Time for a change of focus now, with some other game systems getting a chance.

Back to work!

Two weeks ago I was motivated, energised and full of momentum to get stuff finished for my Iron Hands.

Then the lurgy happened. Ug.

Thankfully I, and most of the family, have now shaken off the bug and I can get back to painting. It's less than two weeks until we are having a Horus Heresy GoG bash so I really want to try and finish one or two more fun things for that. The last of the infantry will have to wait!

First coat of red on some jetbikes last night. Fun figures and nice to paint.

TTFN.

Rebasing

I built my death guard before the move to 32mm bases.  I must admit that marines do look better in larger bases, more in proportion I think. 

Rather than rip them off the old bases on start again I acquired some of the adaptors that were established through a Kickstarter.  These are excellent and very quick to stick on.  All I then needed to do was replicate the old basing on the new bit.  Still a couple of hours work but I think it was worth the effort.

Bloab Rotspawn

So with a gap in the painting queue I turned my attention to some Age of Sigmar stuff for the Chaos forces of papa nurgle...

Been a while

I am feverishly working on my Imperial Fists. I have undercoated and washed the vast majority, now working through the individual squads. 

My Cataphractii Terminators and their brethren. Seemed fitting to give them all veteran status! Little more work needed, then on to the Tac squads, Breacher Squads, Sword Brethren and Templars!

Ogre support

So Fark had left his ogres around my house and I couldn't resist the stone horn  - this is a great figure and one that itches to be painted.  he had done a decent tabletop standard to get them ready for the big game at the WHC, but I wanted to go a little further ....
