Not quite finished yet, but the terrible light that I did have has passed, so I called it a night after getting the Harlequins, Exodites, and some of the power armour armies base lined for this year and some plans on what comes next this year, I've just got the tank and Terminators boxes left to go through when we get some weak, grey sunlight again tomorrow.
Plan A it's the Firestorm Aggressors this week in Conquest. . . Yep I'm after 4 copies, one to pass onto an agreed buyer and 3 for me, one lot is to round out the Hounds Aggressors to 6 and 6 for the Lion's Blades. After that it's the Death Guard character, now I've actually developed a plan for what I'm keeping from the DG side of this, and I'm going with early heresy colours of white and green, will plan to buy some of that technical typhon corrosion this week, either Wednesday or when I'm down in Manchester on Sunday with my youngest to watch Crimes Of Grindlewald.
The Knight Commander needs finishing and I've got the Harry Potter stuff to start that seems to have slid from this month's agenda, in my defence I did work 255 and a half hours last month, which is only 4.5 hours off being 100 hours over my contracted hours, which left me rather burned out, but with a decent wedge to get Christmas shopping finished in the black Friday sales.
Review Time
Started off with Titans. It's been so long I forget which ones I did this month from the heavy maniple. I know I got Apocalypsis Irregulares done and I think the 2 Reavors as well. . .
Not 40k but a damn lucky find, the alternate future Enterprise D with the Phase Lance mounted under the saucer section, I found this on eBay which was lucky as this version was a subscription only model. It was added to the fleet of Enterprise C, Akira class Thunderchild and The Ghost. Now just need a Serenity model to round this out.
And back in the room with Reavor 3 for the Venitor light maniple and the 4 Warhounds.
Then it was the Conquest Lieutenant who in the force he's running in is getting a promotion to Captain Sicarus stand in.
Then the subscription landed, I had no plan for the little tank until today, so that's going in next month maybe, and the Librarian got painted for the Lion's Blades.
I ordered some more Inceptors to give me 2 full squads of 6 for The Hounds when those land.
And lastly my Baron arrived and I was able to make a start on it. I picked up the box I'd ordered today so will hopefully get the bits I want fitted, cannons only rough if the magnets haven't landed yet , and see how it looks.
After the lists last month of what's incoming with Conquest I jumped in early and bought 3 of the Inceptors from the Space Wolf new box, to paint up for The Emperor’s Loyal Hounds Of War.
Usual base coat of ushabati bone, nuln oil wash, then screaming skull then white scar over the top. I got up to the screaming skull done last night, tonight I got 2 coats of the white on and added all the spot colours, I'll do the plasma guns another night but I seriously don't think I will use them at all.
The package from Hatchet arrived on Saturday but I was to busy recovering from last month at work that I was asleep when the postman knocked. A mooch up to the depot on Sunday was in order.
More Pox walkers, the tank is already sold, the washes are put aside for later use and the Librarian has been primed for painting this week.
I also purchased 3 Inceptors to add to the 3 from the Conquest magazine when they arrive, which will give me 2 squads of 6, the first 3 will be painted this week at some point.
Next up from Conquest that I'm painting are the Firestorm Aggressors, hopefully I can get 9 of them, to give me 6 for The Lion's Blades and 3 to add to the squad I've already got in the Hounds.
Basic blu tac for the arm swop,
If I could redo the sprues I would like a 3rd full face shield and enough shoulder guards for all the arms in the kit.
I put liberal amounts of green stuff on the bases with Martian dust coating as the cracks showed green I had to go and paint the bases with a coat of Wazdakka red before applying a second coat of Martian dust.
And the other one for the Hounds.
The Hounds Sgt is to replace the one I pulled to put in the first squad so if I ever do put the full Ordo Astartes strike force out I can see who's the Sgts as they both will have the full face shields.
