Manic Monday #73

 So my last post was April 11th... 2 months, 1 week 2 days ago....and during that time I have painted a blistering 6 models and those were this week!

But otherwise my past few weeks have been like this.....

Like a true Capricorn, I powered through it and back to where I need to be. And Bolter & Chainsword is down for a much need upgrade and I am looking forward to the new digs and being able to post there again. 

Onto the modeling front:

 So Metal Head Armory is doing a Necromunda Campaign....I'm torn between Redemptionist or Delaque and well neither gang is painted or built to my standards for this type of fight.....yet.

On the 40k Front....

I started back to working on my April Vow of Battle Sister Squad and Cherub.....

This is where they ended up after the weekend

Before deciding to continue on the next 5 members of the squad I figured I work on the Repentia Superior.

Finally got around to painting her flames and whips....

Since I was painting flames I started on another model that has molded flames.....Pious Vorne

She got a lot of attention and still alot to do on her. 

I did get my Warhammer+ Year Membership model 3 months early since I was already subscribed to the apps.  I don't think I am going to build and paint him as hes not really game friendly (not a removable model from the terrain)

Its a short week for me so hopefully more painting done this week/ weekend

Manic Monday # 70

 

With a mad dash to the finish I did complete my March 2022 B&C 12 Months of Hobby Challenge....

So unlike the past few weeks I did not have to work Thursday, unfortunatly I had to work 2 16 hr shifts and 4 hrs Friday evening, after gym and running errands for parents then Dad ends up in hospital Firday night. Saturday was spent doing more errands and going to lunch with sister and seeing dad in hospital. And Sunday I had to work a full 12 hrs, mom was involved in a minor fender bender, dad is gonna be in hospital for a few more days....damn.. With the vow completion date of Thursday March 31st, the 3 (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday) 12 hrs hifts and a 16 hrs shift Wednesday, I wont have time to finish during the week so, mad dash it was. 

So Saturday I started and completed my base for the Stormhawk Interceptor, between errands and everything else going on. 

This brings the completed count to the following:

• Completed Model Count for 2022: 33 models
• Warhammer New Years Resolution (Paint all 52 GK Terminators by 12/31): 16 of 52- 30% Complete 
• Bolter & Chainsword: 12 Months of Hobby Challenge: Jan-Mar: Completed

52 represents the additional 12 Terminators I built......so 1 a week....ugh I need to paint more Terminators.

I need a break from painting silver so I am gonna switch over and show some love to my Favorite Army, The Adepta Sororitas, Sisters of Battle. 

 Friday, and Saturday I did a little work on My Order of the Valorous Heart Battle Sister squad. I plan on making them my April Vow. 

One sister needs her base done, the other 4 sisters and cherub need finsihing and the 5 not in holders only have the skin tone started. 

I am starting to lean towards playing Sisters in the upcoming Metal Head Armory crusade just because Damage 2+ weapons or strength 6+ weapons mean crap when you only have 1 wound. Hopefully I fair better with them this weekend when I play. I was planning on taking my 1000 pt GK list and 1000pt Sisters to try them out.

I am also debatting increasing one of the Squads to 20 Sisters. We have been discussing it on Bolter & Chainsword and it seems like it may be a fun option for objective camping. 

I still need to build 5 more bases by Saturday for Entropmancer and gather up all the stuff going to the group.

Which means painting Paladins, Terminator Squad, and 2 Heavy Weapons for the other 2 squads. But they were planned to be painted already and some are in work already.

Or

I may paint some Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas as they have been on the back burner for a bit. And I really need to get painting on them. Maybe my Celestians, or Celestian Sacresants, or Alana's Retibutor Squad....we shall see.

This Weeks Progress:

Stormhawk is done just need to do its base. 

Primed the Terminators I built last week and the Grand Master on Foot. And then started painting Grand Master. Down to some highlights and shading and then he is done.

Hobby Updates

So I slowly have been mustering my parts and forces for this weekend's build. And I have been thinking about my armies and collecting a lot recently. Maybe because I want to play a game or 2, or seeing the actual progress of my Grey Knights has lit a fire to accomplish more than I have. It maybe because I looked at my Raptors and seeing them at Step 7 of 13 which is edge highlighting and highlighting. Plus finishing basing.   

While looking for parts I found 5 plus reivers, but they are lacking melee weapons, I got them from a friend for free so that was a bonus and I should have weapons at my parents.  I then found 10 Infiltrators/ Incursors. I remember buying a box and splitting it with Entropmancer. I built mine as Incursors. Recently I received an unbuilt 5 man squad in trade from him plus I had 5 somehow. I think we each bought a box and split them....at different times. Entropmancer plays Iron Hands, so he removed Phobos stuff and switching to Gravis.This is just a just a thought.....written down or more accurately typed out. I think I may add my Primaris forces to the Raptors. and by that I mean the non Phobos stuff. Once I get the both Impulsors, 2 Storm Speeders, a box of Eliminators, an Invictor War Suit and A Gladiator tank not much more Primaris stuff I need or want. 

I have decided to switch Impulsor and drop a reiver in exchange for a Invictor Warsuit, I need to pickup up at FLGS, along with Space Marine Data cards. I am going to try to pick up more basing material at another hobby shop, grab some stuff from my Parent's house, (Reivers, Reiver LT,  Raven Guard Codex, cards, Guitar string and some other stuff) and then its off to build bases. 

 

I would like to airbrush Friday Afternoon/ Evening if possible, but that requires bases for Suppressors to be done and Invictor to be built into sub assemblies. I have Gym and vehicle Service so I need to get a lot done on bases today to reach airbrush goal. 

I need to finish my Grey Knight Terminator Squad and Chaplain so I can focus the last 4 characters. Grey Knight Terminators and Chaplain need washes on red parts, black over black and metallic parts, dry brush Grey knights Steel and then basing.  

I eventually need to get back to work on my Order of the Valorous Heart Adepta Sororitas army. I have units in the built, primed, base coat and In progress stages but have not bee touched in a while.
