3 Things

 4 if you includr setting the points limit for our planned visit to Warhammer World in March next year, 2000 points each of my terminators plus land raiders and my mates Legion Of The Damned against 2x 2000 points of Da Orks, speed freaks on one side and GazSkuls boyz on the other.

5 actually with finding the Brutalis dreads last night. 

The Chaplin dread was finished bar the base, I'm getting up when I finish this post as I need stuff for breakfast and morning will be the only time it's not raining again today, before I go out I'll get the base technical on it, as its for The Lion's Blades astrogranit is option 1.

Those wings are not being glued, just blu taced in place. Nearly finished Marbas, I just need to find the shoulder pad the actual sword I'd intended to use from the Deamon Prince kit, the stand in blade is from a Lord of the Rings Mordor Troll. 

Just the melta cannon and the grav thing to paying for second Leviathan, bit more work than I was thinking... 

Last night as I was looking for the charger cable for my head set I did find some of the dreadnoughts I'd bought for last years planned Blood Angels Dreadnought army that went nowhere, and it turns out I have 4 Brutalis Dreadnoughts so that Brutalis talon of death company Redemptor dreads might still be an option for next year. If I can remember where I put the other dreads. 

Running LongThis Month

 Yesterday was a bit lazier than I intended, on the plus side I got all of Arthur's satchels on my latest play through of Red Dead Redemption 2.

Marbas and the Leviathan both got the wet blending body work done, the Satanine Terminators and Chaplin dread didn't get started. 

Marbas needs the sword finding, flesh areas need a touch up and then it's on with the details.

Leviathan 2 is in need of detailing and the weapons painting. 

I'm planning to get this done on Tuesday, the  Chaplin dread I'll do bits of at the same time as I do the details on Marbas as I'll be doing it the same way.

I'm tempted to leave the Leviathan details until the Satanine Terminators are done as I'm aiming at the same style on all of those.

I also got a run down to Wigan in the morning to pick up the old Defiler I had ordered last weekend, its quite a chunky box, fingers crossed it'll be warm enough to get this sprayed in black. 

It's a Measuring Contest

 I got the biggest mini I know I have out to see how the Satanine Dread sizes up next to it and the Leviathan dread as well for a side by side picture.

I think the molded base gives the Leviathan a few millimetres but take those weapons off and the Leviathan could probably fit under the shoulder mount.

I got a black base coat on the plastic Leviathan tonight with the plan to get the wet blending done on that and Marbas on Saturday. 

Change To The Last Plan

 It's a big old chonky boy.

I wasted half a cup of coffee as I got the blending done on him. 

Sundays plan is to get the metallic areas done, red details, plasma glow and probably magnets in the elbows after everything else is done. 

I quite like the the big boy. 

As a random upcoming thing in the Combat patrol series I've got the Deff Dread and now the Killa Kans, for completion sakes I'm going to do these and as something different I'm going to paint them for the Bad Moon Clan

Land Raider Proteus Carrier

 Got the land Raider Proteus Carrier out of the box the other day, getting it built while watching the Vegas GP, would have been better in day light so you could see the hotels and the live stream preview with the new DA.

I know it's an old story here but this a nice and easy kit to put together, the nose section is a better build than the Spartan or I just found it easier on this one, can't be sure which it is.

I got the Land Raider Protius Carrier finished with details and highlights. Just need to get the big box down for a family photo. 

Photo Heavy Post

I had forgotten about finishing the base on the Apothecary, rest assured it was done the other night but as usual I don't have a photo.

 And here's the beginning of the Dreadnought army. I want something different on the bases here but most of the GW base material paints are out of stock. Do other companies make these types of paint?

Even though I hadn't finished the base I still got a good photo with the Apothecary and Librarian facing the screaming killer.

And lastly I got a very nice photo of the Captain facing the Carniflex, these 2 where taken for a Facebook group I'm in Monthly Challenge,this month's theme was 'Bring it on' or as I interpreted it 'come and have a go if you think you are hard enough'. I really like the photo with the Captain framed by the outstretched claws.

I'm finishing at 10am today and there's a Lego kit and the Nephilm jet  fighter to build as well and I think I'm going to spray the flamer boys black today as it'll be nice.

Monthly Vow 12th Of Feb To The 12th Of March.

 

Well looks like I smashed the target this month by 2 dreads!

Whats the goal for next month? 

I'm going halves on the Ark of Omens box with Dark Angels under Siege from the forces of Chaos, so there is a squad of Primaris, a squad of Terminators and a plastic Azrael, need to find the green wash for his robes, there's the strike force box with its brutalis redemptor fat Albert, the desolation marines and 5 heavy Intercessors and I have 5 Tartarus Terminators to repaint for my 1st Company. I'll be happy if I get half of that done and delighted if I can get all 35 marines and Azrael finished, I did promise the dread to a mate and I need to check if my mate in Japan wants the Lieutenant from the strike force box.

REVIEW TIME. 

I was left in a good place last month with lots assembled. 

Everything was sort of done all at once this month, the first ones finished were the Cataphractii Terminators. Never having done a resin squad I can't compare, but these are a nice, easy build. 

The plastic Contemptor dreads. Again nice to build, would have preferred the company had kept the elbows the same but I suppose they have to sell the plastic weapons as well. I like them and will be adding a third one when the resin DA body gets released.

The Scorpius Missile Tank. Its a Rhino with a fancy hat. The mk2 Rhino is an old kit anyway and it had been a long time since I last put one together, there were a couple of issues but I think that that was more me priming and base costing on the sprue. Not that you can notice. I do like the launcher. 

And before I put it away I got a photo of it with its squadron. 

Blue sky/feeling flush with cash part 1.

Had a message from one of my game group pointing out a squad of Cataphractii Terminators, a Spartan and 20 marines for sale cheap. I picked up the Cataphractii and the Spartan for 58 quid. It was already built when I got it which gave me a couple of problems with painting, but once done you only see them if you go looking. 

Blue sky/feeling flush with cash part 2.

Next up was the second Spartan, this one new on sprue, prime and base coated a good 6ish hours assembly time and I didn't time myself on painting and I have a squadron of these.

I am thinking of adding a Thypon heavy seige tank as well, just because I enjoyed the build, but I really love my squadron of Spartans. 

I repainted Tinderwolf, giving him an upgrade with the Word Barers mk4 dread. 

And lastly there's the Grey Knight dread which had been a Heresy era Ultramarines dread, the icons got changed and the Dark Angels shin armour was added but that was all that was done. I'm not 100% sure but I still think I need at least 1 more Dreadnought building, will have to check my list. 

Target achivied and beaten and a stretch goal reached as well in month 2!
