Wednesday Forgeworld stuff ordered

So Forgeworld  did their Pre Order Release on Friday to be shipped on 03/05. Rarely do I feel I need certain things preordered from Forgeworld but this was an exception

Rattus Tatterbottom House Cawdor Scum. Eventually I will get around to the rest of my House Cawdor Gang and with the rumored Redemptionist returning via Warhammer Community Underhive Informant, it may be sooner than expected. 

With Forgeworld I usually try to get a few things to avoid paying shipping and that way I'm ordering a ton of stuff instead of a lot of stuff here an there.

My other purchases are for the Raptors.

Vigilator and Recon marines or in my case Possible Lias or Scout Co. Captain and Sternguard Squad.

Terrific Thursday- Raptors inbound

 

I love my Raptors army. Even if GW screwed me over making scouts elite choices. They are a labor of love. I was taking photos recently and I was disappointed to find out that I did not have as much completed as I had thought. 

This is not including Team 7 because that is for Kill Team.

HQs

10th Co Chaplain Arthurus

Phobos Librarian Hes

Elites

Chief Apothecary Chraddas and 10th Co Apothecary La Rocha

5th Scout Squad Led by Veteran Sgt Helios

I think I need to start woking on my Raptors again.........

Manic Monday #7

Time for my Monday update.

Friday I started working on Veteran Sgt Helios and 5th Scout Squad along With 10th Co Chaplain Achmedes and  I ended the day with the basign drying.

After picking up my Indomitus box and looking through everything and pulling the necrons out for a friend I was spliting it with I got back to work on my scouts. 

And then I realized I have to update my librarian's base to match the others. 

After they were done I jumped into the next units. 10th Co Scout LT, and Veteran Sgt Tomez and 9th scout squad

I was going to work on them yesterday after MY GF and I went to a friends house to pick up  our new Star Wars Props, but I ate some bad sandwhich meat and had an upset stoamach and ended up taking a 3 1/2 hour nap while she went to our friend's house. 

Baby Bossak, which I am naming it Lika Bossak

and my GF's the Child

Both are custom made out of resin and sewn outfits and the maker actually has multiple characters he has done.

Manic Monday #5

So time for my Monday Raptors update.

Painted the weapons casings:

Then started painting White, Red, Green, and Brown (tan). The tan  took forever. 

 and then finally started the black boots and hair and ran out of steam. 

Friday I meet a friend at the GW Store between us and gave him his half of the incursors, and a bunch of militarum tempestus scions, taroxs, and valkyrie that was missing pieces that i received in trade that i was never gonna use. I did get a crashed aquila lander and pewter cawdor gang. Should put me over 70 Cawdor minituares in pewter. 

Saturday I preordered Indomintus, combat guage, cards, Chapter Approved and Crusade Journal through GW. So Ill have all those on the release day. 

Manic Monday #4

So my work schedule has me doing 40 hrs really quickly with 3 12 hr shifts Monday to Wednesday and a 4 hr filler shift early Thursday morning (1:45 am to 5:45am). So I normally go home nap Thursday morning then go out and buy groceries for the week and go visit my parents.  Well this past week I did not have to come in Thursday morning and got to my parents earlier. While there I  airbrushed my first wash for the Predator, Scout Bikes, and Land Speeders and I started looking at my unbuilt pile of shame I had stored there. I jokingly told a friend I probably have enought to make a 3 army of stuff after assigning the models to Raptors and Black Templars. I am pretty sure I could build an Imperial Fists army pretty easy with the amount of models unbuilt I have....Like why do I have 20 Hell Blasters or 12 Inceptors. But that has to wait unitl I finish the current project: Grey Knights and Raptors.


With 9e approaching quickly I have shifted from working on my Grey Knights to more of my Raptors. I really dont want to have to build that many terminators. I probably have almost 30 terminators for my Grey Knight unbuilt. Plus I thought painting individual heradly was bad....nope just tedious. I knew what the worst part of the hobby was but man did it suck. More on this later. Plus until we see the adjusted Power Levels and Points the Grey Knights are severly lacking compared to every other army. My 25 Power Level relates to 365 pts, Brotherhood Champion, 2 5 man strike squads and an apothecary terminator. But if you  compare it to my Raptors at 25 Power Level/ 506 points and 527 points respectively with the main core being phobos captain, infiltrator squad, and scout squad and either scout bike squad and Predator for the 527 pt list or having 3 suppressors , 3 eliminators, and Imperial Space Marine for 506 pts. Yeah Power Level  and Grey Knights are way off.

So with me having the extra time off, and my normal duties done I started back up working on my "Back to Badab" Kill Team. when I last left them I was not far off from completion. Just a few more highlights, bases and they were done. Missing Slings for the Sniper Rifle and Comms Sgt's bolter.

So then I started the project I've been dreading........DECALS.

After a few hours I was able to complete the Decaling task.....for now.

Light Industries Decals were used for some of the Raptor logos and Tactical markings. Chapter Customizer (Follow the Chapter Customizer link at the bottom of Fallout Hobbies'  page) for Smaller Raptor Logos and Comamnd Staff Decals. Ginfritter Gnomish Workshop for Company and Squad number markings. And Finally some GW decals were used for command and squad desgination markings. Micro sol and Micro set were a life saver. Decaling SUCKS.

After completing this task, I finished the hobby weekend by building the last 2 Suppressors completing the Vangaurd Section of Shadowspear and then built 5 incursors from a box I am Splitting with a friend.

And I ordered more decals but this time from the Mighty Brush. And since Objective counters are on 40mm  bases and I have no clue where my land Speeder bases are, I ordered more bases and stands for them.
