Manic Monday # 33

 Well another weekend came and is now gone.....

Planned was to work Thursday, work on some models Friday and maybe Saturday, and then do stuff with the parents. Things did not go according to plan. 

Thursday I worked and was actually at work longer than expected. 

Friday morning My Girlfriend and I woke up to our closet bar and frames colapsing. So I had to start working on the closet. And talking to insurance rep and flooring repair guy. Which informed me all my flooring is being replaced (minus bedrooms) but I'll have to pull my models out the glass cases...ugh but I rather move them then have them broken. 

Satuday had to do some running around for the house and with my mom. all while in 118* heat... then Girlfriend and I grabbed dinner, and finished out shopping. 

Sunday  was Fathers day so the family went out to Fuddruckers for lunch then I grilled some chicken and ribeyes for Dinner over the next few nights. 

But with that busy schedule I did get some modelling done...

Well with the news I received Friday, I had to jump on getting My Grey Knight bases magnetized for transport. I picked up 3 cookie sheets at Walmart ($1.48 ea) to help transport them. I was able to magnetize all my built Grey Knight models but I need to order more magnets and work on the Inquistion and Servitors.

Saturday morning I did begin working on the bases for my Storm Hawk and Storm Talon. 

 And this morning this was up on WarComm

Klovis the Redeemer!

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.

Exorcists project

So Exorcists were being worked on....ie Removing magnets from the "psilencer" heavy gunner. I have decided not to magnetize everything but continue up scaling and conversions I have planned.

The project is restarting as a Kill Team Campaign roster listed as such:

Leader- Justicar- Dual Falchions
Specialist- Veteran dual Falchions
Specialist- Zealot Dual falchions
Specialist Combat- Dual Falchions.....see a trend here
Specialist Comms- Psilencer or PSycannon have not decided yet
Specialist Heavy- Whatever the comms does not get
Specialist Demolitions- Incinerator
Fire team: 2 Justicars (1 halbred, 1 Daemon Hammer), 6 Grey Knights (1 Warding staff and the rest will have halberds I believe)

My kill team is just under 300 pts....for this roster. With Rogue trader and the commander rule I can add my Planned Conversion of FW's Knight Errant Tylos Rubio as my future commander....but wait


15 grey knight strike models, 3 justicars, 3 heavies........that means Exorcists tactical Demi Squads 1-3 will be done and since Tylos Rubio is in Power armor it can be my Brother champion......BAM Patrol and Kill Team done

now to get working on them

But lets talk about Tylos Rubio real quick and my palns for him:

Parts Break down

keeping the head and his Psychic Hood and torso torso to be chopped below belt and at thighs to extend height

All this will go to the bits box...

I'll add a MK IV helmet to his belt and some other doodads and I am using this model's load out for him

Order of Our Martyred Lady Adepta Sororitas

My Adepta Sororitas army is moving a long slowly......as the normal for me, BUT I have a good excuse this time.

Haboob what was known as a Dust storm

So it is Monsoon Season here in AZ, which means it maybe a good time to paint then it rains out of nowhere or we get hit with a Haboob which is just a funny named dust storm....and a stupid name at that. 

But I digress, My 500 pt list is cleaned, filed, weapons drilled,  ready for primer if the weather ever agrees to it. Still need to wash and clean their Dragon Forge bases and prep all the models for pinning to their base, which I'm not looking forward to cutting the tabs off their feet. 

Decals Proofs

I've been really busy lately with other hobbies but I did get the proof for my decals from Chapter customizer.
