More Harlequins

Yeah I'm on holiday! I'm currently tucked up in bed writing this one.
So yesterday I bashed out 10 more Harlequins with a green and white scheme and polished off another Raider. I also started painting the last Raider yellow and 5 more 'quins got a white base coat, these are getting blue bits to match one squad of Jet Bikes, the other 5 are going to be black and orange to match the other Jet Bike squad and both squads are getting a Venom to match them. So now I just need to buy 3 Venoms, a  Void Raven and a number of Jet Bikes, really have to get them out and see how many I need to max out my squads. I also need 3/5 more for the Dæmon Army, I was going to make them all Marines that had died at Istvann III, brought back in the service of Malal but I had an Incubus spare I'm painting as my Herald of Slannesh, an Avatar of Khaine on watch on ebay that I'll have been bested in combat by a greater Dæmon, when the Dæmon tried to get into the body the minds fused and it was forever changed. Herald of Nurgel I'm thinking a Garo lookalike and Khorne may just get the chain weapons I had on the Lone Wolf I did ages ago if I still have those arms knocking around.

Ooh Shiny.

Was out and about in Manchester today, first stop was Fanboy 3. I was looking for a B'Rell, but that is out later this week. In the window was the big DS9. Yes I did very nearly buy it and if it hadn't been this close to Christmas I may just have. It does look very pretty.

Busy Week

So with a 10am-10pm day on Monday and starting work at 3pm Tuesday and only getting out at 10am Friday morning, I've only had a day to do anything so far this week but what a busy day. The Rangers are being split between 2 squads, one with a sephia wash and the other with the oxide wash, both got a white dry brush over the wash as well, more may be added at a later date.
The Death Jester is going to be dual role for now, Gunner on the Raider and in the Troupe as well, that one is up next.
The Raider I'd primed already and added a coat of Ushsbati Bone to the places I was doing orange, this one is inspired by the Gulf Racing colours, I was going to do Martini racing but I felt 3 white base raiders was a bit much. I then painted the orange and lastly added some blue but by that time it was late and I was a bit drunk.
While I was at work the Incubi I'd won on ebay arrived, I got 4 of which 3 are going with my counts as Solitaire in a Venom and the last one is going into the Malal Dæmon Army as a Herald of Slannesh, will be painting that one when I get the rest if this months stuff painted.

Rangers

Yeah working harder not smarter this week so next to no time to hobby.
All that's been done is 2 Rangers to test colours for a wintery/ghostly looking Ranger force for my exodite army. I painted both with Ushabati Bone then gave one a Sephia wash and the other an oxide wash, I then dry brushed both with white. I think I'm going to go with the Oxide wash on this squad. When I do Storm Guardians and Defenders I'm thinking one lot painted browns and yellows for an autumnal feel and one lot browns and greens for a spring feel. Might mix the DE Wytches with the big bladed Wood Elves for Storm Guardians, might just throw the Raiders in with this lot for transpots untill I can fork out for Wave Serpents for them.

Forge World Bulletin 39 has gone live with a sneaky look at The Imperial Fist Contemptor Dreadnought. Also there are some nice Knights from the chap that hosts the How To Paint videos.

November Monthly Vow

Nearly the end of the month, and this means a new monthly vow. Giving myself a bigger task for next month, first up is the delicate task of getting cutting those knives off the wytches and getting them on the hand of the Harlequin to make the Star Players Scarecrow. Next up are the green and white 'quins, I'll paint up one of the Death Jesters off the Raiders to match. Next up I plan to mix 5 Harlequins and 5 Wytches and paint 5 in black and orange and 5 in white and blue, both of these squads will be getting a Venom. After that I'm painting up the Glade Guard, I intend to use them as Rangers in an Exodite Eldar Army and all 4 of the Raiders as well. So big month. Plan to fill this out with some Inccubi and another Venom to use in a unit with the Succubus/Solitair, I plan to buy some older Inccubi minis, just to use 3 as the Body Guard.
