Monthly Vow 12th Of November To The End Of December

 Well not sure how I did with the Vow this month, just going to go and check... Wow, missed one thing with the Necromantic Horror team, but everything else got done. 

Plan for this month is mostly focus on The Hounds of Morkai in the Pre Magnus thousand sons colours, when that's finished the plan is pack the stuff away for the Christmas break, and use that break to get a plan in place for 2022, either Knights or Necrons around the Imperium stuff. 

Review Time

Tiny bit of wibbly wobbly, timey whimey as I started this on the 11th, this Doom Fire Warlock is a replacement for one of the Death Jesters. 

I then started on the Taken King, I kept getting the head and Cape wrong on this one... 

The head was in the wrong spot here, there's a cavity on the chest that the clasp covers. 

I used the hq mini from the War Cry box as another version for The Masque's affiliated Solitaire. 

I really think I got this one right. 

My mates Legion of The Damned from the trip down to Nottingham. 

The next few are the core reason of why I bought this box, and I wanted to give this a Troupe the weapons I say they have with Harlequins Kiss and Shuriken Pistols.

As you can see I wanted to replace the very old metal Wardancers with the War Cry shadow stalkers.

I know I got the look that I wanted with the build of this, but I feel I missed something with the paint. 

When it came to this one it was a second thought, I didn't really care how it would come out but the end product was something I was really happy with. 

The next 2 again really got to what I was aiming for. 

The Troupe together at long last with the metal Way Watchers, Spell Singer/ Shadow Seer and the War Cry minis. 

I'd found a grenade launcher in one of the Aeldari bits boxes and painted it for this one. 

The last one finished from that box was the Executioner from the Lords of Old Troupe, can't remember if this is the Star Player or Trouper.

There is a Death Jester and The Scarcrow to do, but I think I've gone the wrong way with the Scarcrow and need to recheck which Death Jester I want to replace, but I'll move this forward next year.

I have eventually got this blended assault cannon finished, just need to pack it away now.

Last one for last month was the 6th assault Intercessor, the one I'd lost the knee pad for, I got this one started with a trophy knee pad made from a skull I'd found while deep diving into the bits.

Assault Intercessors Number 6

 Had a nice easy day yesterday with the Assault Intercessor, around cooking a jambalaya for tea.

Just leaves the kheres assault cannon arm to finish on Friday along with the Monthly Vow post. 

Bits Left

With a few days until the 12th, I'm taking things easy and starting the wind down and tidy up for Christmas.

I've got 2 days free before that so plan A is to finish the Assault Intercessor from Imperium. I found and then lost the missing knee pad, but several things happened yesterday while digging for some bits to pass on to a guy working on a close combat Redemptor project, I found a plague barer skull and with some delicate green stuff work I used the skull as a replacement knee pad. Plan is to get this painted Wednesday and finished Friday. I also fitted the barrel assembly from a Kheres assault cannon onto a Venerable Dreadnought assault cannon arm. The plan is paint this Friday. Then it's onto November to December, which has only 1 major objective to get done which is the Space Wolf Reaver psyker hunting squad, just need to remember where I put the pre Magnus Thousand Sons colours guide I made myself... 

 

The Executioner

 Polished this one off today, bar the oxide wash to the base, as well as starting the replacement for the Scarcrow / Deceiver, which I don't have a photo of yet as it's hugely rough. 

I am tempted to get another box of these and have a look at the Star Players and see if there are a few I could replace. 

Wyld Ones Shadow Seer

 Only a tiny bit on this needed doing which was the grenade launcher on the back.

The last of the Harlequins left to do is this one for the Lords Of Old Troupe, which is white and purples. 

The Wyld One Replacements

 Polished off the last 2 of the replacements for the Harlequins today, in the first photo

All 4 of the of the replacements finished this time.

And the whole Troupe and with Shadow Seer for my Harlequins army.

So spent a few a days doing these, here's a few more of the process
