Today and into this evening I built more Tyranids.
So I now have:
10 Neorogants and a node beast
5 Barbgzunts
3 Leaper
1 Tyranid prime
1 neurotyrant
1 screamer killer
1 psychophage
This is to add to the 10 termagaunts I did yesterday (I still have 10 to build… I ran out of steam this evening).
Here are the three big guys…
I also did a smidge more on the goblins…
I will try and get the last ten Tyranids made tomorrow. I will also have a think about bases.
Well after a few games of Grimdark Future I have decided that sci Fi Gaming isn’t too bad. So, because I couldn’t be bothered to paint things this evening I made up some miniatures.
I blagged them off Joe, I thought these would be a nice easy sci fri arms to paint. These are snap fit ones… snap being an appropriate word. A number needed glueing as I somehow snapped pegs off in their holes.
Still a whole lot to build. Round two tomorrow.
Well Storm Betty, Mary or Fifi (or whatever it is called) has Caught up with my little bit of land. The Wind is coming from an unusual direction and both the porch and Conservatory are leaking. There has always been an annoying drip in the conservatory, when the win is from the South East. This time it is coming in in a number of places.
I am lucky however. I have a leak, some poor buggers on the mainland have lost their houses and livelihoods. So spare a thought for them not me whingeing on.
This evening I did a bit on the Goblin rock chuckers, the last of the frog catchers. I think he may have even more trouble with the two in the yellow armour.
I will carry on with these tomorrow.
City Fight Edition. We played at the club with three a side..Aliens (aka Tyranids and Genestealer cults) with chaos support were holding the city and we,the human forces had to push them back.
There were huge casualties on both sides. Sadly it ended in a draw. Although we cleared out the left flank and centre we didn’t have enough time or resources to push on.
It was a good game all round.
Well this afternoon I finished the knights. I decided on the maroon/purple for the white bits. I wanted to add a brighter colour to give them a bit more oomph. I had originally thought to go with red, but I reckon I chose the correct colour. you can see the one I was thinking of to the left of the second photo.
Tonight I am off to the club to get trounced, I mean play another game of Grimdark Future.
Tonight I sat myself down and got to work on the skeletal knights. I fully didn’t intend to do a great deal. I stuck Men in Black on Netflix as some background noise and away I went,..
I got this far. Bridles, pennants, the standard and the leader’s scabbard to do. A bit of work on the base and they will be pretty much done.
Major Storm warning for tomorrow. Probably the reason for all the helicopters flying around with telegraph poles over the last week.
Well because I am a bit of a lazy BarStard I never got any painting done this evening. I did chuck more stuff around in the shed as well as download a whole pile of STL’s, but sadly no painting.
This came in the post today and it is lovely
Now way back when I started, I had a bit of a wall that was in front of a picture I had printed from the internet…
I liked this idea, but the picture wasn’t mine and I would spend a while adding who it belonged to. In time I stopped using it and went for just a plain background…
Normally it is the above bit of card. But now that I own the book I can quite happily choose one of the awesome works of art inside. Here is one of them…
There are 32 different ones in the book. They were all done By Jon Hodgson. He did the art for the first One Ring. I have been a bit of a fan ever since.
That’s a bit of an oxymoron, but this evening I decided to put together this small corner ruin from Dark Ops. I have had this for an absolute age… so long in fact that they have stopped doing this range. So long in fact my Google-Fu failed to find anything about it. I wanted to see how to build it as it came with no instructions.
I worked it out eventually. I spent more time actually adding an upper floor to the smaller bit, or rather adding extensions to it. I also made a simple pillar with an upper floor.
I will try and get it painted before the game on Thursday.
Whilst sorting out in the shed I found a couple of computer games info/rules that I used to play a lot…
From what I remember the 101st one was a nightmare to win. Of the two Hidden and Dangerous was my favourite. I played it loads. From what I remember it also had a second one that I also had.
Sadly the days of books in games has gone.
This miniature has sat under my computer monitor for at least a year. I was sorting out today and rediscovered it. Therefore tonight I built it.
It was reasonably easy to build. Apart from the rear of it. Luckily GF9 have instructions online. It comes with a peg to fit in the base. I cut this off before I find the base in the printer shed.
While I was in there I remembered I had the Prodos one still in it’s box. Yikes, EBay has it for £40 at the cheapest. I reckon that at a conservative estimate in the four boxes I have I have about £160.
I will get back to the undead cavalry soon. Highland Miniatures is going Egyptian Undead this month.
To be honest, these may just sit in the folder as, although I am impressed by them, i really don’t like the Egyptian vibe. I have a whole art of undead, I don’t need any more. But I am seriously not going to quibble. The above cost me £10.
I carried on trying to get the bloody battens up. The wall beat the drill bit and basically finished it off, but luckily for me I had some wall plugs and screws that meant the last one went up.
This evening I pretty much spent downloading my miniatures from my tribes and Patreon. Not going to print any, but I will have them ready to go when I want them.
