Monthly Vow, November 12th to Late December.

 That's 1 Detachment down!

Targets for next Monthly Vow 

Finish Tech Support section, paint the Boogers, build the 2 Necromunda Ogryns, and build and paint Matildae Titanus the Storm Lord.

Stretch Goal start building Power And Water section.

Review Time. 

I finally got the 30 tank riders finished for the Armoured Infantry Detachment 

I had originally planned to use Count Bin Face as a Commissar, but as I'm using Commissar Greaves, Count Bin Face will become Castalan Bin Face and ride with Commissar Buck in her Centaur. 

So yeah 30 plus minis finished and section 1 done.

I definitely finished last of the Hippogriff, AFVs, the last 2 as well as Centaur 3 were painted a grey, had a Mirky Mire wash and edge highlights and various slogans painted on the them, which finished section 2.

And the last heavy section. Still need a heavy stubber and gunner for one of the turrets, finished section 3.

The bases still need doing on both of these and I need to find another weapon for the Gaunt Commissar as I broke the damn axe off painting it. 

No, Today's Dress Code is Casual Insolent

 So last night I found the gold and the reikland flesh wash at home and the thousand sons blue and packed them to bring with me today. 

After I'd kicked every one out of the office I got my stuff out, and as it was just bits of gold, some metal work on implants and metals, I got cracking, Gaunt Commissar and Severan got their plates and epilets painted. The gunner got the helmet badge and some detail bits on the Commissars.

Once dry I hit them with the reikland flesh wash, including the heavy stubber hands and the Gaunt Commissar's face and hands.

Once that was dry I highlighted with the both shades of gold, I also had given the bottom gonfallon on the banner a reikland flesh wash and highlighted that as well. 

I'm finished early tonight! 

Still need to toss that coin on Tech Support or Boogers next.

And as it's the 10th of November, if you have seen a walking Circulatory system walking around today, please report it to your local HR Franchise 

Let's Fall In Love

 I got into work today after a week off and the stuff I'd ordered from the bits site had arrived while I'd been on holiday. 

If I'd know when it was due I'd have had it sent to my address, not work...

With this one from the Hells Last box and the Tactical rock stance totally not Commissar Greaves built that's 4 Commissars for this army, plus Commissar Bin Face, so 5.

Is that too many, as I can build at least one more tactical rock Not Commissar Greaves and would need to check the sprue for on foot version. 

 

My aim for last night was to get the gunners finished for the Greaves Centaur, I flipped the colours around to give them pink jackets under the armour. 

When I was building the Commissars I had an adhd moment and botched building the one with the plasma pistol, I glued it, it wouldn't fit right, I stood up, found I really needed the toilet and then went to bed as I was tired, coming back in the morning to it glued and massively messed up. So down one Commissar.

The coats got a base of the blue black, I'm bringing thousands sons blue tomorrow for the highlight stage, golds for the armour and something for the sashes on the 2 I have on the table,

Pretty sure I can build both versions of Greaves again from the sprues I have at home, I just need one of the heavy stubbers for the 2nd gunner here and they're done.

Crew wise the standard bearer needs a head still.

So before pay day I aim to get the gold on the armour of the Commissars here, and get them finished, as well as the standard bearer.

So next month it's the Greaves on the Centaur first, then coin toss on the tech support or the 30 Boogers, I do need to build a couple of vox guys for those but otherwise they're done.

The capped gunner is done, the helmet gunner needs the bionic eye sorting, as does the gaunt Commissar, and gold on both to do as well as bases. I think bases are probably going to get done Saturday. 

To The Bat Tank!

 That's it guys, the 4 tanks for this army are done!

Well almost. 

I need a head for the machine gunner on 1, a body in a hatch on another and a heavy stubber on another.

I'm currently building the tech support and the command Squad for the Boogers.

Plans for the run to the 12th.

Tomorrow I'm priming the Tech Support and the Command Squad, then finish the crew of the Command Centaur in the week.

The Boogers are getting started probably after the 12th of November and will run to the 20th of December.

So looking at the command squad I need to swap out a guy, probably the Commissar and add a vox com guy in his place.

I did drop into my local, local store and asked if they can order me the Necromunda Ogryns, they've taken my order at least and if the worst happens I have to get the bus to Wigan

The tech priest engine sees are a lucky find of the kill team, I might build the servitors one day, but it's absolutely not this year, the older metal version, a plastic version and I did buy a second techno archaeologist. Not a clue where they're going currently.

Also don't forget GTA 6 comes out next month, so I'm fairly sure I'm going down that rabbit for a bit next month.

Though it shocks 'em I know

I spent most of Monday doing nothing until I'd eaten something and then got squad 3 out and finished them off, with the Mirky Mire wash, weapons, hair, shirts and flames.

With this squad finished I've got one section of the army done.

I used a collage maker to add the star scape to  background to hide my living room and TV. 

You Are So Pretty, It Makes Me Sick

 

I got squad 3 into work with me this week, getting the base coats on the squad as well as the command Tank's crew. 

Commander Buck, the Rogal Dorn Command Tank crew and my Commissar for this army 

I need to get some grey for the shirts, tabard and webbing. 

And finally got some colour on Commander Buck.

When I'd picked this head, I didn't notice the half face mask.

I had planned to paint this tonight, with doing the tabard in a matching tartan as her tank rider version, but I've been blessed by Grandfather Nurgle this week and I'm not painting tonight, especially tartan with the coughs coming randomly. 

Booga, That Was Very Smart

 

I managed a semi productive weekend getting 2 squads done, okay squad 2 still needs the Dickinsain pallor wash on the bases, but aside from that it's there. 

Plan to get squad 3 started this week on my sleep and then it's just Kangaroo's riders and the heavy weapon gunners.

A 3rd party shop opened this week very near by and I picked up the Army Painter Imperial Rogue pink as Emperor's Children pink still isn't available and the tone pro stuff hits the shelves next week and I've got 1 day off so can see a crash day next Saturday rather than doing anything productive.

Plan A is finish squad 3 this week then it's on to the last couple of tanks before focusing on the pink section.

There is an actual plan here.

Week off plan is build the power and water squads I might need to buy a Cadian box to get 3 troops, tanks, artillery and Sentinel, with the Storm Lord being the start on the Boogers, tech Priests and Hells Last and see how I feel about the Genestealer Cult stuff.

The first squad and my total normal, unnamed Commissar both needed shoulder pads which I took off the  command squad sprue and glued on to the arms. I hit both with screaming pink base coat, a layer of pink horror, then a blended mix of pink horror and Imperial Rogue, the Commissar pad had some decorative bits, so I went over that with a gold pen and then a reikland fleshwash. 

I found another base to mount this one on and called this one done. 

 So my week off can looks like it's going to to start with a big jump up on the last major project of the year.
