Monthly Vow 12th Of October To The 12th Of November

I'll admit, I got rather hooked on Assassin's Creed Odyssey this month and got carried away. Really carried away added to the wait for the codex lull that left me feeling like there wasn't much need to get a wiggle on with anything.

Orders have been picked up codex has been started to be read, with the necessarity to wait for the Blood Angels codex to see what options that gives me, I can currently take 3 basic dreads, 3 Redemptor Fat Albert Dreads, 3 Balistus and 3 Brutalis dreads, for current HQ I'm taking Astorth The Grim and a Tech marine, putting an order in for the Blood Angels and Dark Angels indexes to give me an idea of what to do next with both Armies. Then plans can be firmed up. Still massively narked that Contemptor dreads got bumped from the main codex.

Target for next month get the Terminator squad and and Chaplain done, start the Redemptor Brutalis dreads and fingers crossed start the Contemptor dreads as well. 

Review Time 

Lord Bin Face

A comedy political character, the mini was bought because it was most of the money raised is going to charity. 

Thanos was a Father's Day present from my kids. I got to build this one while I was spending the day working from hospital. 

Lastly The Brutalis Dreadnought 

It's not entirely finished as chapter markings aren't done yet, I'm hoping there are transfers in the box to spare. 

Brutalis Dreadnought

 

Getting back into the swing of painting of painting with the new head set.

I gave the red bits a coat of evil sunz scarlet, and trim got done with gold, I had to check what colours the 8th Assault Company was and found it was green and the 2 drops. So I'm planning on getting this finished tonight.

Working From The Hospital

 

Had a change to my shift for today with me supporting an old client at hospital. I was trying to think of things to do and the Lego Thanos box was front and centre so I packed it in the bag and got on the very crowded college bus that goes past Preston Hospital to be here for 9am. 

We put the big purple guy together first thing this morning and I'm now sitting with my back to clock so I don't see what time it is and start getting stressed about how long I have left on this shift. 

I've also had my first ever issue with a lego kit, one of the bits you need to finish the feet of is missing. 

Pre Orders For 10th.

 After the last couple of battery head sets had the led light die after a battery change, I stepped up and bought a rechargeable one. Let's see how long this one lasts.

I have made a pre order from my local 3rd party store. I put an order in for the Chaplain in Terminator Armour, a box of the new Terminators, both for the Dark Angels, and 2 of the Brutalis Dreadnoughts for the Blood Angels Dreadnought army. As I'm off the weekend of the 14th I'll be going up to Preston to pick them up on the day.

As I have the new head set I'll be getting back to painting, I hope to get the first of the Brutalis Dreads done this week around work.

Head Set Down + Space Marines Plans

The led lights on my current head set have gone, so the next one is going to be rechargeable. I'm looking to buy one next month after my last bill goes out.

Onto the Space Marines release;

Brutalis Dreadnought? 2 please. 

Chaplain in Terminator Armour? 1 please. 

Captain with Jump Pack? 1 please.

Assault Intercessors with Jump Packs? 2 boxes eventually. 

Stern Guard? I'm okay. 

Codex? Of course. 

I'm expecting to pay about £130 to £150 for what I want right now.

Someone has leaked the price list of this week's releases and a rough costing was £225. 

Monthly Vow 12th Of September To The 12th Of October.

 Heavy month regards the real world since August, kids moving out, house upside down and record temperatures in September which I wasn't keen on painting in and I was focused on Assassin's Creed Odyssey... I'm still not happy about having to go and kill a Cyclops. 

So yes we'll my objectives were met as I did start the Blood Angels Dreadnoughts army but only with 1 so far.

Targets for next month.

More Dreadnoughts! 

Review Time.

Tank Girl Helmet

The youngest is a major Tank Girl fan so I found a helmet and painted it for her for her birthday. There are a couple of things to do still, the goggles arrived as has the rubber throwing star that I need to magnetise to the helmet. I also need to find the magnets to do that. 

I also saw a miniature of Count Binface that I picked up as all profits go to the NHS. 

The undersuit is black with layers of padding in shades of grey. 

I also made a start on the Brutalis Dreadnought, as well as getting the plan for the Dreadnought army bases sorted, it's the vallejo desert sand with a seraphim sepia wash. The Brutalis Dreadnought had a base coat of Mephisto red, they'll be a layer of evil sunz scarlet and wild rider red highlight with the lighter wild rider as a last highlight, now it's cooler and I've uncovered most of the map for Odyssey. 

Brutalis Dreadnought and Lord Binface

This is the vallejo desert sand I'm using for the bases of the Dreadnought army I'm using a Serpihim sepia wash on this as the agrax earthshade wash left it to dark. 

Which looks okay I think need to get the yeril yellow out for High lights. 

Made a start on the Brutalis Dreadnought for the Blood Angels army, so far it's had a Mephiston red base coat. Tomorrow's plan is for an agrax earthshade wash when I get in with a evil sunz scarlet layer and then the 2 shades of wild rider red as edge high lights. There are also gold and black details and as this is a close support unit there will be some yellow detailing on some of the inserts on those armour plates. 

Lastly for this weekend we have Count Binface our evil overlord. I can provide a link to his manifesto for the London mayoral election if you want to see how evil he is.
