40K: More Necron Warriors

 Not masses of progress today, work failed me hard!

Destroyers and another unit of these to go!

40k: Necron Destroyers and Warriors

 Another round of 'crons added to the army with some Destroyers and more Warriors:

More to follow soon!

40K: Necron Lords, Scarabs and Warriors

A productive day was had at the paint station as ive made a decent dent into the project already:

Looking forward to getting the whole army done and ready for the table!

40K: Necron Warriors!

 This last week as either been sweating my arse off with work or getting an entire 2nd Ed style Necron army ready for painting! And now its the weekend I can finally get cracking with some brush time:

First squad of warriors painted up to test the scheme, now on with the rest!

40K: Chaos Lord and Chaos Sorcerer

 Finished off my HQ choices with this Chaos Lord and Chaos Sorcerer!

Waiting on a cheeky 3d print Landraider to arrive and I think they are good to go!

40K: Rogue Trader Chaos Terminators

 When sourcing the models for this chaos army i knew i wanted to include a fair chunk of Rogue Trader era stuff as I never had any of the chaos from this far back.

The crown jewels of the force are a full space of terminators:

The Chaos Lord and Sorcerer are next on the paint station!

40K: A 3rd Chaos Marines Squad

 Some spare time was had this evening so this next squad of Chaos boys was painted up:

With just a squad of terminators and a couple of characters to round out the 1500pts it will hopefully be not too long until its completed!

40K: Another Chaos Marine Squad

 Got home from work at a decent time so smashed out this chaos marines squad this evening:

Same as before a mix of prints and original metals!

40K: Chaos Space Marines Squad

 Now that all my Squats are done i can get on with some other projects, namely my 2nd edition Chaos Marines army.

Ive finished of one of the squads today, done to match the Dreadnought i painted a month or so ago:

Im using a right old mix of models in this army with original Rogue Trader renegades, 2nd ed minis and plenty of 3d prints of renegades and space crusade marines!

Warmachine: Helga the Conquerer and Valkyries

I had a decent amount of free time today so hit the painting hard with Helga and two units of valkyries for my Thornfall Alliance:

Eagle eyed amongst you will spot that Helga is a conversion of a Valkyrie leader... a more impressive model and used because my helga print failed badly and just the spear survived aloft like the end of Terminator Judgement Day haha.

40K: Squat Landraider

 Ive done the base coats and basic drybrushing but im unsure how I actually want to finish it so it will live like this for a bit:

40K: Squat Bikers

 Seems like an age! The heatwave really killed my painting mojo haha:

Just a landraider to go to complete the squats for now!

40K: Squat Warrior Squad

 Finished up this squad when it finally cooled down in our office!

A free file from online, mirrored a few of the models for a bit more variety in the squad hehe.

40K: Squat Living Ancestor

 Now that the great cactus task is done i can get on with the Squats so next up is this Living Ancestor:

A powerful psychic grumpy old man! Should help out against the eldar im playing next haha.

40K: Moar Space Cactus!

 Four cactus patches now completed!

Definitely not painting more!

40K: Space Cactus!

 Normally I hate painting terrain but ive forced myself to get on with some retro space cactus patches for games of 2nd 40k:

These are some quality stls from Nedius on cults3d... ive another two patches to finish off... the red spikes takes an age!

40K: Squat Thunderers 2

Next unit completed for the army with this 2nd unit of Thunderers:

Ive got a bike squad, a Warrior Squad and a landraider to paint but as my next game is against Eldar I think a Living Ancestor is required too!

40K: Squat Thunderers

Time for some heavy firepower for the army in the form of some Thunderers with Heavy Plasma Guns and Autocannons:

Hopefully those guns work a bit better now they are painted!

40K: Squat Thudd Guns

 Some more Artillery in the form of a a pait of thudd guns:

With the originals being pretty expensive I was on the scout for a proxy and came across these hehe.

40K: Squat Mole Mortars

 Work was cancelled so I had a bit of unexpected painting time around the family's plans this evening and got a pair of Mole Mortars painted up:

Some light Artillery for my forces with some very random results on impact haha!

Warmachine: Farrow Razorbacks

 Finishing off June's releases with this pair of Razorback Artillery:

Bringing some much needed heavy firepower to the alliance with brutal damage on those rockets haha.

Warmachine: Bride of Arkadius, Wastelander and Maximus

 With June's releases for the pigs coming out it was time to bust out the printer and also the minicrate Arkadius that I picked up at Lock n Load:

Next up will be a pair of Razorbacks hehe!

40K: Moar Squat Warriors

 The second unit of Ontos Games squat/roknaut warriors is done:

Again some superb sculpts! Played my first game of 2nd ed last night since 1998 maybe, proper silly good fun!

40K: Squat Warriors

 Next up for 2nd ed is a squat of Squat Warriors from Ontos Games!

The original squad from the range, and the models that drew me to the idea of some retro 40k gaming!

40K: Squat Warlord and Hearthguard

 Over the last week or so ive been building and printing my Squat army... and now finally I have the first unit done:

I really liked the Ontos Games scheme so decided to use that as my base! Now on to some warriors!

40K: Rogue Trader Chaos Dreadnought

 Continuing with the theme of Dreadnoughts, here is a modern reimaging of the classic Chaos Dreadnought:

Going for an Emperor's Children look to my chaos army but in the old skool style rather than like my existing Flawless Host.

Warmachine: Captain Eira Mackay

 She's been on the paint desk for a few weeks, worked on in dribs n drabs!

Thats the last of what I have printed, I'll get round to some of the flying troops and 40mm base stuff in due course.

40K: Rogue Trader Dreadnoughts

 Myself and a few of the club chaps have decided to go down the nostalgia route and put together some armies for 40k 2nd edition hehe.

Ive picked up some awesome squats that i will be posting soon but decided to start by printing some very retro dreadnoughts from Rogue Trader as I never owned the originals as a kid!

A Blood Angels and Badmoon Ork Dreadnought ready to fight it out on glorious green boards!

Warmachine: Commandos

 My second unit of Commandos is now finished:

Thats me all complete and ready for Lock n Load next weekend in Sheffield, pigz ftw 🐖

Warmachine: Moar Chainbelchers!

My second unit of these bad boys are now completed:

Largely the same scheme as before but with different coloured jack parts; this time ive put in menoth, cryx and 5th border legion khador 🤘

Warmachine: Farrow Chainbelchers

 First unit of our awesome new cavalry unit painted up:

Absolutely superb models and will hopefully be rocking the tabletops at the club in the near future!

Warmachine: Farrow Commandos

 Closing in on Lock n Load so its time to pick an army and get it sorted! With that in mind I think I have enough time to get April and Mays Thornfall releases done:

Ive a 2nd unit of these Commandos on the go and two units of the fantastic new Chainbelcher cavalry.

I had sold up before the plastic brigand/commando kit came out so never owned any back in the day... Nice to give them a run out at last.

Warmachine: Vulcan

 This has been on and off the paint station for most of April but its finally done!

Looking forward to giving the big lad a run out soon hehe, glad the Crucible Guard are done for now as im a bit behind on printing piggies!

Warmachine: Efaarit Scouts

 Back to the Thornfall with a couple of Efarrit Scouts today:

Its 75pts in our journeyman league so i desperately needed some more solos for flag camping... solos with long ranged guns most importantly!

Warmachine: Prospero and Retaliator

 Forgot to post Prospero during the week and printed a Retaliator whilst still working on the Vulcan:

Warmachine: Gorman di Wolfe and Mechaniks

 Some post Salute painting before the wife gets home hehe:

Prospero and the Vulcan remain on the shelf to be painted!

Warmachine: Railless Interceptor

 Choo choo! 

Finished off my Railless Interceptor that ive been working on for most of the week:

Its been a slog but im glad its done and im happy with how its come out!

Warmachine: Alyce Marc

 As the holiday draws to a close I had time for one last addition to the army after some much needed gardening, with Alyce Marc and her alter ego Big Alyce:

Alyce is the warcaster attachment in the faction and also a surprisingly good beatstick when she transforms!
