Day 1- Thursday

With my upcoming game against my Friend Entropmancer in 5 weeks, I need to get cracking on my army. At this point I had a the following units and models built, most from the Army box set, Seraphim Superior, the 10 Sisters , Canonness and Sister Superior Amalia Novena. I knew the flamer model would be dropped and I would need build as much as possible due to my paint scheme requiring the  color to be sprayed at the same time. 

I set up a work station in the living room, turned on Burn Notice and set myself to work cutting models off the sprue from the 2 Adepta Sororitas Army Boxes  models for my force:

Around 10am I stopped and went to the Gym. 

Post gym I hit up my FLGS Imperial Outpost Games and purchased some paints, 2 boxes of Penitent Engines (one for my 3rd Penitent Engine the other 3 for Mortifier/ Anchorite), and 2 Adepta Sororitas rhinos.  Hit up another two hobby shops to puchase more paint (Hobby Bench and Andy's Hobby Headquarters), went grocery shopping and went back home. After a quick lunch, I hit up Burbank House of Hobbies and ordered Vallejo paint I could not get locally. 30 Minutes later I received an email saying my order has shipped from Burbank House of Hobbies. That was quick. 

I resumed building about 1:30 and worked until my Girlfriend got home. After Dinner I continued working on models until midnight and went to bed.

Day 2- Friday

Got up early and got to work on the models working until I left for the gym at 8:00 am. I got back home a little before 9:30 and proceeded to work on the models all day.

Day 3- Saturday

Got up early again and started working on models until around 11:00 am and went to see my parents. After seeingmy parents and picking up Triumvirate of the Imperium Box (minus the Cawl I sold when the box came out) and my 3rd sealed Adepta Sororitas box to sale.  I then hit up the Warhammer (Goodyear) Store to pick up more GW paint and ended up getting the Vol 3 Novella The Rose in Anger, The Book of Martyrs and Issues 2-4 of the Marneus Calgar Comic book too. Completed my errands and gotback home and began prepping dinner. After dinner I resumed work on models. then got a text message saying on of my employees could not make it for his shift sunday morning.....and I finished the few models I had to work on....

Day 4- Sunday

The plan was to finsih adding models to the squads and get the bases on the models started. But OT at work for 12 hrs.....can't complain. After work I snapped a few pics and put the models in the dispaly case until Thursday evening.

Wild Wednesday Post

So a few weeks back I ordered 2 cans of Leadbelcher spray from GW and box of Citadel Skulls since I had to have a non paint item in the box....weird but it is what it is. 

Soon my Grey Knights will be Silver instead of Grey

Skulls for the bases of Models....I'm not a Khorne worshipper

Good News is I should have it tomorrow. Which will make 4 cans I should be able to spray my Grey Knights.

    

On the Drukhari Front-

Reinforcements have been ordered......

Lelith Hesperax in Finecast

Succubs 2 

Transport and I need a Dark Lance

 

I needed 3 more bikes as 3 is too small of a squad

and cause I am weak....

• Lelith will be my fill in until the new one is released. I'm hoping to magnetize her arm to switch between her penetrating blade and Impaler. 
• Succubus #2 will get a blast pistol instead of agonizer.

So thinking about the painting process for my Drukhari, I wanted them closer to the Raptors, with the smooth transitions in paint color Airbrush will be used, especially with the Turbo Dork Emerald Midnight paint as the main color....which I bought another 2 pots of.... and this

for Poisoned Weapons and maybe Grey Knight Nemesis weapons

So off I went to some of my favorite online paint retailers: Michigan Toy Solider Co. and Burbank House of Hobbies

Michigan Toy Solider has the Andrea Paint sets I like to use, so I purchased the next batch of sets I wanted

I already use the white and black and also have their Flesh and ink set. 

Burbank House of Hobbies is the cheaper location to order Vallejo paint. And with airbrushing I love spraying the Vallejo over Games Workshop or Tamiya paint. (It's the dropper bottles). Also I needed to restock some supplies for airbrushing. 

No that I've grown accustomed to using Lahmian Medium, its time to switch to a better medium, plus $7.80 for 24ml vs $10.80 for 60ml, 

But that's not all.....

I was looking around on Reddit in the Drukhari section and really liked some of the designs people are doing on their Vehicles. So I went over to Fallout Hobbies and checked out their line of stencils. 

Between the decals  and stencils it could get expensive but they were offering an amazing bundle deal I jumped on. For $30 plus shipping I received 3 Stencils and decal sheet. Pretty much my decals were free. 

So the air brush plan is:

1. Airbrush using Vallejo Surface Primer Gloss black
2.  Zenithal highlight with Vallejo Surface Primer Grey 
3. Zenithal highlight with Vallejo Surface Primer White.
4.  Spray the models with Future  Floor Wax to ensure they are gloss coated. 
5. Spray Andrea Red base for tribal design areas on Vehicles.
6. Apply Tribal Stencils
7. Spray 2-3 coats of Turbo Dork Emerald Midnight.
8. Apply mesh stencil to vehicles.
9. Spray an additional 2-3 coats of Turbo Dork Emerald Midnight.
10. Spray Andrea Gold base on Vehicle Grates.
