September Catch-Up

For all of you out there* who were wondering what I was up to this past month, rest assured I have been busy. First, my monthly challenge for September (Heavy Support) was the classic Vindicator: Photobucket Secondly, hearkening back to the blog's roots-I worked on some Imperial Guard Vehicles. Both need crews but here are the chassis. A second Medusa conversion: Photobucket A rebuild of an old Griffon Mortar: Photobucket And a third (completed) project that has been redacted by the inquisition but this picts leaked out: Photobucket Lastly, working on some terrain. Some of the bits I set aside for these projects have been sitting for literally years. Mostly I'm plasticizing (that's not even a word is it?) some old Necromunda terrain (I hate using card board) but I did scratch build a small landing pad: Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket *That would be no one incidentally.

Dreads and Such

Finished off my Contemptor Dread and converted a couple of Terminators. Pictures is the contemptor with twin-linked autocannons and dread close combat weapon. Photobucket Next up is the last of my old termies converted into a Deathwatch Chaplain and the last Ultramarine Terminators redeux: Photobucket Not shown was a classic terminator librarian converted into a Deathwatch terminator librarian. Next up I am taking a break from my Ultras and going back to my IG roots so expect to see some reinforcements for the ill-starred Meridian Prime 7th Mechanized Cavalry.

Robots Finished

They will need some sprucing up with decals I think but here they are: Photobucket Photobucket

More Xenos Scum

With this my ork "army" (325 whole points!) is fully painted. Can't say that about any of my other armies (okay except for Necrons, Eldar, and Grey Knights because all they are is an inquisitor and henchmen but at this point-who is counting?). Photobucket Now to finish those robots and then...I have a couple of directions I could go.

Back From Out of Town

Okay-here is the stuff I knocked out before the trip: Finished off the Heresy-Era terminators and someone who bears a striking resemblance to a guy named Guilliman: Photobucket I also finished off the building-not happy with the roof fit but cannot wait to play some Cities of Death or whatever the new rules make urban combat: Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket And here is what I got done during my trip. Let us start with the Ultramarines. First up is the Heresy-Era Devastator squad for the monthly Freebootaz challenge- Photobucket Below that is the other squad, two Librarians to include Tigerius, two captains to include a terminator captain, and two chaplains to include a terminator chaplain (Not pictured is an apothacary I did up for Deathwatch): Photobucket Did I mention the full other tac squad (three more tac marines and plasma gunner not pictured)? Photobucket Oh yeah and Stormtalon (prior to putting the final dull coat on it): Photobucket And now for the rest. First, the last of my Black Legion marines-some serious old school figures are included in this bunch: Photobucket And here is Kharne and fifteen of his BFF's: Photobucket And finally, just in time for 6th ed I am getting around to painting up my AoBR orks: Photobucket Photobucket The trip alone resulted in 81 figures; this is what you can do with some paint, a hotel room and far too much free time (was trying to avoid spending money-only partially succeeded).

Playing Catch Up

So first, here's how the robots turned out-lost the gumption to paint them so it will be a while before I get back around to them: Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Second project was my monthly challenge-Elites. I chose to do Heresy-era terminators and include a friend. Rumor has it he can punch your face off in space with no helmet. Much Scibor was used to bring us these terminators and Gilly. Photobucket Photobucket Third was some terrain in preparation for an eventual city fight. Not sure why I've been on such an Urban/Industrial kick other than it's because I've got some great kits and want to use them. In this case I also had some old 2nd Ed plastics I didn't have the heart to throw away but didn't want to repaint into Ultras. I love the Pegasus Hobbies buildings but the fact that they don't make roofs for them drives me nuts. Not super pleased at how this one turned out. I may go back and rework it later but it works for now. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

Having Problems Posting

I will try to get it fixed and updates up in the near future. In the mean time, I may or may not be out of town for a month. I'm taking my painting on the road but updates may be a little slow.
