Sneaky Sneaky

Same old broken record....too much work, house under construction, not time to paint blah blah blah

UPS is being difficult. Trying to Get my FW package and it is signature required, so signed slip to get package.....they pick up slip and leave black slip. WTF

Tortuga stuff arrived and well I got 1 MK3 tabard set instead of 2nd running legs....Entropmancer  will like those. 

Thanks to Hurricane Ian, my Etsy Shoulder pads are in Florida still. 

Decals, Librarian, back packs and shoulder pads  arrived. 

Saturday I saw most of the Metal Head Armory crew at a Local GS. Entropmancer and I traded bits (yes more MK 6 Helms!), half my Heavy Weapons for half the Support weapons, parts for my Chaplain, and purchased my Heavy Bolters and Missile Launchers. 

Sunday it was announced that the Land Raider Proteus was going on Presale Saturday.......WOOT WOOT. Since I only play inside the group I think I'm not going to build the assault ramp version as it looks less pleasing.....

Old hotness

Ugly Newness

Still need Sicaran #2 and Plastic Contemptor #2 also. 

What I built this weekend:

I added magnets to all my bases (40 32mm, 1 40mm, 1 60mm base and Storm Eagle's base)

So needing the instructions to build MK VI marines into Heavy Weapons (arms matching to bodies) I went ahead and built my 5 Autocannon and 5 Lascannon Heavy Weapon Marines. 

Autocannons

Lascannons

After getting my half of the support weapon blister, I started building my Support Squad Rotor Cannon guys..

...only got partially through one model cause I needed to work on these guys. (I can probably sneak the Support Squad into work and build them there next weekend).

One of my favorite (non Legion Specific) Units are Seeker squads. I feel like they are the character hunters of Legions.....And I had to have a full 10 man Squad of them (plus a Proteus)

SGT!

Still waiting on their heads......UPS

but here is this weeks build log.

Manic Monday #48

 Well vacation is over….I’m sad.

I think every day this past week I did something 40K somehow. 

Monday- probably least amount done I started on the next Dominion squad with 4 melta guns. I only got the superior done but I was doing a day trip with the GF. And took pictures of the models based. 

Tuesday- I ran a few errands in the morning and around 10:50 I started smoking a brisket for dinner. I built the dominion squad, arco flagellants from the army box (now combat patrol) , repentia, repentia superior, and inferno pistol seraphim squad. 

Wednesday- I decided it was time to magnetize the bases for the models recently built. And then I realized might as well as build the penitent engines from the 2 army boxes as they were the final models to build. I then built a 3rd penitent engine and a mortifier with an Anchorite Sarcophagus. 

I then built 2 plastic priests.

And then did the job I was dreading trimming spruces…ugh 

Thursday- no models built but I did airbrush last weeks built and based models gloss black.

I then started spraying deathshroud clear on the previous airbrushed models. I ended up spraying all but the immolator as I run out of deathshroud clear (2 pots).

 I started brush painting and got the wound led sister on the hospitallers base done to finish out the night. 

Friday- brush paint day! I started working on models Mainly the wounded Sister on the Hospitaller's base and Palatine. 

Saturday- Some of my group and me went to check out the Soft Opening for the new store in our area, Old World Gaming. Not Bad Glad to see the Owner doing his own thing. 

Played a game with my Sisters at 1500 pts vs Entromancers Iron Hands marines. I botched the game forgetting my special rules, he killed all of my Melee troops, and dice went south. I did get to pull off my relics and and annoy him when my Canonness and Palatine charged his blob in the middle of the table. 

Sunday- Last day of vacation So I brushed more models. 

And built my 1st Paragon War Suit

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 # 29

 

Well It was a semi successful build weekend.....

So my planned projects for this past weekend (05/20- 05/23) was to finish building the last 20 infantry model or so that I needed and start adding debris to their basing. 

Well, the Infantry is all built finally....all 67 models...whew. I had to do some converting to get my a Sister Superior to look different along with the Simulacrum Imperialis for the 3rd Battle Sister squad. 

Only basing done was the wall debris for the 7 Seraphim. The Seraphim, Zephyrim, St. Celestine, and the Geminae Superia will have walls....maybe the Mortifier and Petinent Engines too...

I will need to crank out adding debris to bases for the models and Build 2 Rhinos, an Immolator and an Exorcist Thursday (05/27) in the hopes of getting everything Primed Gloss black Friday (5/28). Saturday (05/29) is 2 weeks from the models hitting the table top. Still need to do both metallics, highlight and then smoke coats which will be in the final 2 weekends. I am hoping to brush a few colors on Friday 6/11 to get that table top standard......

I also picked up a Battlefoam 352 Magnarack to transport my models from my FLGS Imperial Outpost Games. But to fully transport them I picked up some magents to put in the bases from Magnet Baron.

I also picked up these 2 items from Little Print Shop 121 on etsy.

I did also bring my Necromunda stuff home from my parents house. Well some of it my Pewter Cawdor Army is still there. One of the Plastic Cawdor Squads will be losing some models to make issonaries/ Preachers for my Order of the Valorus Heart Adepta Sororitas.
