Priming And Beliel

 I've got half the sprues in the shed getting primed and the other half are going out later today as it's getting cold again later this week.

There are 3 bike bought yesterday and should be on the way today, coming back to this on Thursday after a not very good week the bikes were posted Wednesday and should be with me on Monday. 


Haven't had the best week health wise and have spent Monday afternoon the hospital, most of Tuesday in and out of the doctors and ended up having to buy some new glasses as well as eye tests yesterday. All this running around left me feeling stressed and exhausted and with my blood pressure!

Around the opticians and watching Argyle I made a start on Beliel yesterday. 





Most of the ones I've seen this week have gone green robe red inner layer, as I really like the crimson wash robes I'm going to do the reverse. 




I'm currently on my way to Wigan to hopefully pick up some screaming skull so I can finish the armour on all those Terminators I've got to build.

Deathwing Assault Box






Saturday was a long one, had a 10 hour shift at work before I could scoot up to Preston to grab my order. 

This is still only my second limited edition codex. The sprues are packed with stuff and I'm looking forward to putting them together. I just need to get some more beige primer first and as I'm currently in an outpatients ward waiting for a procedure I'll do that tomorrow.

Not read it yet, as I was doing a lot of cooking and walking around yesterday.

I'm watching 3 outrider bikes on ebay as well so could get 2 goals sorted this week.

1st & 2nd Company Plans


 Okay with the new box coming at the weekend I've got my 1st and 2nd Company boxes out, and I've got plans now.

2nd Company 

I need 3 more bikes to get to give me 3 squads of 6.

Mid term

Buy one more Nephilm kit and build it as the bomber.

Long term plans.

There are a couple of thing here.

Buy 2 more Vengeance speeders and 2 more storm speeders.

Research how to convert the Land Speeders into the ATV and then buy enough bits to convert the 6 I have and learn how to swarm the enemy with 9 buggies. Also need to find the Astartes codex...


 1st Company

I have 3 Tartarus Terminators that I need 2 more to get a relic squad together, there's 5 more Cataphractii plate Terminators here that I can get together and the Deathwing Assault box on its way for an actual 100 Terminators in my 1st Company.

Further Ahead.

When the codex drops I'm thinking of getting the new Asmodi and over time a couple of boxes of the robed guys with a plan to convert one into, yet another, Primaris Ezekiel, the spares will either make the squad up to 5 or go into the Blade Guard Knight squad.

Research how to convert the Land Speeders into the ATV and then into buy enough bits to convert the 6 I have and learn how to swarm the enemy with 9 buggies. Also need to find the Astartes codex...


First Born, Legends

Talon Master, I don't think I can do anything with this as it's the Forge World Tempest Speeder. Which makes it even more annoying not less that it's harder to convert.

6 Land Speeders, already discussed up there👆

Last up are the 6 Bike Squads with 8 bikes and an attack bike each.

Tomorrow I'm planning on getting the 1st company box back out and double checking what's what in that box as I have a box with 5 catphractii terminators and with 15 more on the way I almost certain I'm now, sorry, soon to be at 100 Terminators plus the Blade Guard Veterans.

Captain And ATV



This week was pretty much the first day since I primed these sprues that the weather has been good enough to actually get in the shed and get spraying again. 

I got the 15 jump assault Astartes based black as well as the ATV and the jump captain. 




The captain was made yesterday and I was supposed to start painting it today but I was more focused on finding the 2nd Company box and my mood was off as I starting work late and it put me off doing pretty much anything other than finding the box, it didn't help that I've managed to lose the robe of the captain.

So next weekend I'm working until 6pm, the shop I've ordered from is open late so I'm going to Preston from work to pick up Deathwing Assault, the Venitor and Leviathan dread. Looks like I'm getting take out 2 Saturdays on the run.

Fingers crossed I'm able to get the stuff primed and base coated on Sunday and I'm able to paint Tuesday and Wednesday.

Now and next


 Finished the Outriders, can't find their box but finished the current squad and will look through stuff in my bedroom to find this box as the Outriders and ATV that's up next need a home.


I'll look for that box on Saturday and start the ATV as well



The Jump Pack Captain will also get started on Saturday the plan for this one is to go with green highlights and a green kilt.

Latest 2nd Company Squad


I'd built these the other day but just hadn't been able to get myself to put some paint on them until yesterday. I'd hoped to get them sprayed but it had been either too cold or too wet to get in the shed and I've been hooked on Assassin's Creed Valhalla. 




 Yesterday was a mix of cooking and painting, I got a prime coat and a base cost on the 3 bikes, I've got highlights and details to paint which I'm hoping to get finished on Friday as I've got a late start.


I spent a good 3 hours cooking this.
