Manic Monday # 83

 

So still no painting done, house is still under construction, still working too many hours.....Same old song and dance.

Now for the Good, Bad, and Ugly

The Bad: 

Mighty Brush is blowing out their decals for ummm reasons. I really loved Luther's Decals for my Raptors so I bought a few more sheets to get me through what I have....I hope.

The Ugly: 

My preorders from Frontline Gaming arrived:  I preordered 2 set of cards, Pot of Corvus Black Air, Horus Hersey Heavy weapon set 1 (Heavy Bolter and Missile Launcher), and Horus Heresy Heavy Weapon Set 3 (Volkite Culverin, Autocannon, Lascannon). I received Horus Heresy Weapon Set 3 and 2 (Heavy Flamer, Multi Melta, and Plasma Cannon). Decided to keep set 2 and pick up set 1 next time I'm in a store. 

The Good:

Thursday I was finally able to pick up my Forge World stuff from the FB member  from USPS Office. So excited! All of it was New in Package. 

Plus my Warhmmer+ Year 2 subscription model and Pop Goes the Monkey Combi Meltas showed up too. 

Hobby Time:

Friday I built the Spartan Land Raider......OMG was it a pain. But I was done with all but 10 Mk VI Marines from Age of Darkness box and then..... 

another 40 Mk VI marines showed up. So now up to 50 Mk VI Marines to build....

Saturday I decide to start finish basing my built models, I still need to do the pumice on the Deliverers bases, But Praetor, Primus Medicae, Warmonger, 30 Tactical Marines, Contemptor, and Storm Eagle's bases are done.

Manic Monday #64

 

Sucha crazy busy weekend....felt like I spent most of it driving around town....so tired. 

Thursday- Picked up more basing material at Hobby Shop Ran to FLGS and picked up Space Marine Data Cards and Invoctor War Suit. Went to Parents ended up having to mow yard...ugh. Went to grab my built reivers and found a 10 man squad unbuilt. Grabbed Reiver LT, Ravenguard data cards and Codex. Got home and started working on bases.

Suppressor bases are done

40mm Objective Counter bases

Bases for Entropmancer's Pteraxii Sterylizors

Friday- I then built 2 Reiver squads, Reiver LT, Invictor War suit and based all models. 

Saturday I busted out the airbrush and Primed and highlighted all the unprimed Raptor Units before having to drive around town for niece Birthday party.

After getting home I did the 1 wash on the recently painted Raptors Models

Sunday- I 'ardcoated Shoulder pads and Kneepads for decals.  I think started working on Indomintus Chaplain and the Grey Knight Terminaitor Squad and Chaplain. 

Terminators need some highlights, blades done, drybrushing and base ring painted and these 6 Terminators will be done ensuring Feburary Vow Completed (minimum 1 model) and Seriously (over 5 models) with 4 more Terminators to go and 2 weeks remaining.

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.

So after much hatred, anger and rage at the 9th Edition Space Marine Codex, The Warzone Nachmund- Vigilus Alone gave me hope....and yet took it away. I was watching a review of the book and they brought up the Vanguard Detachment and then this past Saturday I watched it in action. Honestly not really impressed. As Raptors (Raven Guard) player, it was like they gave you bonuses but tied your hands. Reivers getting Objective Secure is really nice but I rather have access to Scouts, Gladiators, and Storm Speeders. I love my Raptors,  I just have been slow to adapt to the Space Marines in 9th Edition. In my defense they did bone my army pretty hard. Making Scouts Elites killed my army. 

So what's the plan then. Well I'm gonna go full Phobos for the first 1000 Points.

Phobos Captain, Phobos Librarian, 6 man Squad of Grav Chute Reviers, 5 Incursors, 5 Infiltrators w helix, 5 Infiltrators w comms array, 3 Suppressors, 3 eliminators and an Impulsor. Phobos Librarian needs his base repainted  all but the impulsor are in the collection and built and most primed and awaiting completion. Incursors and Suppressors need to be Primed and Suppressors need bases. 

Entropmancer needs bases for his Pteraxii Sterylizors so I might as well build 3x 40mm for my Suppressors, 5 40mm for his Sterylizors and 7 32mm for my 2nd Seraphim squad (I have been really putting off on finishing their bases).  Plus I need to see how many magnets I have compared to how many I need. I know I'm good on the Large Magnets need more medium. 

Eventually I will get around to working on these models too....

I did purchase a finally get purchase a new Painting PDF from Luther at The Mighty Brush.

So I will be picking up more paints and tools for my Vehicles. 

Be unseen, unheard, and unrelentless!
