Manic Monday #39

 

Man these OT shifts are taking are starting to wear me down. Second Week of 56+ hours in  a row. This week is only 52 hours followed by another 58 hour week....UGH.

Good news is new flooring is in and home repairs are just about completed. Bad news is Monday night after working a 12 hour shift I had to break down my hobby area. With all the repairs mostly completed My Girlfriend and I put the house back together and cleaned everything. I am happy to have my house back together and I will start redoing my hobby area. 

I did purchase a new overhead light from Neatfi on Amazon along with more Civitas Terrain.

This week I got some Forgeworld goodies for Adeptus Titanicus Various weapons, and terrain. Also My BattleBling name plates, Warhound arms, and Reaver arms are here. Along with my Winterdyne Banners. But my Big order from Tap that Game came in.

In other hobby news:

The Sunday Preview Article on Warhammer Community annunced Hexfire, Thousand Sons Codex/ Cards / Dice, and Grey Knight Codex/ Codex/ Card/ Dice go on preorder Saturday.

Hexfire- Pass

 

Regular- Yes

Special Edition- Pass

Datacards- Yes

Dice- Yes x2

Funny thing was I about to order dice and decided to check WarComm first, glad I did. 

WarComm dropped the the Psychic Slugfest article  this morning featuring the 3 of the Thousand Cults out of the 9 available and 3 Brotherhoods of the Grey Knights out of the 8 Brotherhoods available. 

First up is the 3rd Brotherhood "The Wardmakers" ie  Grand Master Voldus and Brother Captain Stern's Brotherhood

Next up is the 4th Brotherhood know for the Prognosticars

And next up is the 1st Brotherhood "The Swordbearers". 

This is the brotherhood I am playing due to the sheer amount of Vehicles in my collection.

According to the WarComm article each Brotherhood is getting "signature Stratagems, psychic powers, and Warlord Traits. These subfaction psychic powers are taken in addition to the powers they already know, empowering your Psykers without taking anything away."

So with that in mind, I like this rule for the 1st Brotherhood but at the same time I don't. Im gonna be throwing some High Strength weapons on my vehicles already plus 1 to wound is Ok. At least it is 18 inches for the psyker and not 12 like the other ones. 

So expect more Grey Knight Articles this week.

Friday I decided to start the basing with tile grout. Unfortunatly my PVA Glue/ Water mix was more water than expected....

Overall happy for round one. 

I then met with Entropmancer and Dropped off some of the Titianicus stuff I had for him. Then went to a new gaming store called Gamer's Guild AZ. I have gone to a lot of good gaming stores and some that are bad. I judge a store by the staff, stock and gaming area. First impressions was good. Large gaming area, Friendly staff, and good stock.  I purchased another Starter for Adeptus Titanicus so more Reavers, Warhounds, and knights

After I got home I worked on my bases by increase glue to the mixture and coated bases again.

For some reason the 2nd coat dried a different color, kinda of like.  It gives a more realistic feel. 

Saturday morning I got up and rattle canned models Leadblecher.

With working a 12 hr Saturday night and rain all day Sunday I was motiviated to vegitate on the couch and watch season 5 part 2 of Lucifer....

Looking at all the Titanicus models I currently have:

Warmaster - Ordered

Warlord- 2 (one of each weapon loadout)

Nemesis Warbringer- 

Reavers- 6 (3 of each loadout)

Wahounds- 6 

Plus all the knights 

I have enough to do a 2nd legio. Which will be Legio Crucius:

I will probably build this a Precpt Maniple with the Warmaster as a Support Titan but I'll be able to run different Maniples.

Wow, what a build weekend! I really enjoy building the models for Adeptus Titanicus. I feel like each Model is a unique character so basing them is a blast. 

• Thursday I spent working on gathering up the final few pieces for my Legio Gryphonicus.
• Friday I started building the skeletons and and bases for the Warhounds, Reaver #1 and Lancers
• Saturday I built the 3 Questoris Knights and bases, and started working on Reaver # 2's base.
• Sunday I built Reaver #2's skeleton, and the weapons for Reaver #1 and the Warhounds. 

Basing I used Civitas Imperialis buildings I sawed to make ruins,thin plastic card to make a base my standard rock and sand ballast for ruins along with cut sprue to build height to the ruins. Green stuff was added to create dunes, larger rocks, mesas and to smooth out the corkboard. I used some 24 gauge florist wire to create barb wire.

Next weekend I'll be working on the basesby priming buildings and the wash on  Reaver #1's base then PVA glue/ Water mix,  add tile grout as the base, and then a 2nd layer of PVA water mix and Agrellan Earth in the wash. After that has fully dried wash base with agrax earthshade (buildings too), and drybrush with a light brown (zandri dust?).Hopefully I will be able to prime the Titans and Knights too, weather permitting.

Enough talk, picture time
