The run into Christmas is looking rather hostile to hobby time, and I say this as my assistant has handed in rotas unto January the 2nd.

I mean I'm looking at Friday being the first chance I have to get to Wigan to pick up the cards I ordered for the Space Marine. I passed the Codex over to my daughters to buy as a Christmas present but there's very little chance I'm going to get a battle in with the Astartes first as I want to Tea Drinking Divisione sorted first and see how badly I can fail with them before I get some cerimite out again.

So over the last few nights I've had the 30 tank riders out for painting.

My aim had been to at least get boots, jackets and pants done on them before Sunday. So that didn't work out.

I got the pink pants done on all 30 minis then yer another late finish yesterday left me organising back into squads and packing paints for tonight. 

I did get some pink on this version of Greaves and a pink layer on the trim of the coat and I'd bought a blue black paint I'm planning to use on the coat tonight to see how that goes. In game terms this is a basic Commissar, so need to check what weapons they can have and root for suitable arms for her. 

I am rather annoyed at myself as I left the pink for the trim and brown for the boots at home, this is now on hold until I can find the bits bag for the arms I need or plunder the command squad sprue and take what's needed to finish this Commissar.

Oh and with the new paints coming out next week I'm hoping to grab the pinks when I'm able to get the tanks finished and probably the Karskin greens for the Dark Angels. Need to check days off and start times for the next 2 weeks.
