Topic: 100 Days of Hobby 2020 ...

[Artobans Ghost]

Looking for 25 mmm rounds For AoS. Yes, those cursed rounds 😺

[GamesPoet]

Ah, well I just ordered 100, they are not plastic though, they are "fancy" wood. I can part with some, not needing all of them now, I could send along 50? My source is in New England, can quickly replace what I send your way, and got the ones I have in 3 to 5 days.  So if you need more, I can either point you in the direction or get them for you.

Depending on your faction and characters you also need 32mm & 50mm bases...
Goblin heroes are on a 32mm base?

[Midaski]

See the UK is so much better.
I ordered 500 x 20mm square and they were through in 4 days. 

[GamesPoet]

Looks like Mids has some basing to do.  Maybe he'll even get around to painting some.

In the meantime ... GP did up another 6 arquebusiers this morning, these will be French, and last night's 6 will be Burgundian.  Go in some touch up painting last night on the 17 spearmen, yellow, red, gray ... not exciting stuff, yet helps pretty up the figures a bit.  Getting ready to use Boltgun on the chainmail and maybe helmets too, and then wash them, and then do highlights.

Yes. Hero’s on 32 mm. These are for the dwarf warriors and gobbo shootas.

See the UK is so much better.
I ordered 500 x 20mm square and they were through in 4 days. 

I believe that’s called ‘rubbing salt in the wound’
😺

[Padre]

Bold me up for Tuesday GP, please, because that's when I finished the corpse wagon! I googled and painted the image for a Nagash banner!

[GamesPoet]

Got it!

[Rowsdower]

Plague beast spawn: 70% complete
After 12 years, the army is nearly ready

Howling Griffons: Very slow at the moment. Painting yellow without ceramite white is difficult.

On a frustrating note, I knocked over the box I kept my FB chaos undivided army in and launched them all over the floor in the process. Fortunately only two models were damaged out of the lot. Nothing a little glue wont fix.

Wednesday (today) very quickly painted two recently murdered fellows I need for the story after the next! (I like to plan ahead, and to paint when I can't get my act together with the writing!)

[Artobans Ghost]

My brain hurts!
Tired and sore but still added plate mail, skin, cloth, and wood colours to the Boingrots. Not fancy enough for a pic yet 😺

That may be a wrap for day 27.

Somehow with the aches and pains today, these guys look lucky 😺
Nice job on them

[Artobans Ghost]

Went ahead and finished the Boingrots as much as I can. Those shadow warriors are now laughing in the shadows

[Novogord]

Week 4:
Friday 22th:
I finally finished my undead warband for Warcry, including basing. Some pictures will follow.

Saturday 23th:
I worked some more on my Steel Legion, removing flash, basing them,... Still lots to finish before I can prime them.
I also worked out how to make my squads and how many I'm able to field.

Wednesday 27th:
I (re-)started painting on a Freebooter fairy which is sitting on my desk for 10 years I think. Time to finish the little lady.
The skin is mostly done, as well as the basecolor for the clothing & wings.

How very discreet & controlled murders! Bet there are the owners initials or heraldry on the sword hilt.

Go in some touch up painting last night on the 17 spearmen, yellow, red, gray ... not exciting stuff, yet helps pretty up the figures a bit.  Getting ready to use Boltgun on the chainmail and maybe helmets too, and then wash them, and then do highlights.

This sounds sooo very familiar: working on a bunch of models, bit by bit, and they never seem to get done. Until the last day, there are suddenly so many cool & fine models ready.


Days 26 & 27 - Nothing. Crazy hectic days, but got work done & cooked good food & kept the kids in order.

Day 28 - Warzone minis: some armature work for the conversions, and final paint removal. Oh, and one squirrel!

I see dead bodies showing up in this thread.  Just when ya thought it was safe to not watch world news, they show up here anyway.

Wednesday was the first hot and humid day of the year here.  Got out the air conditioner to install, and it tumbled out the window to the pavement below.  Spent too much time dealing with getting a new one and getting it installed.  I never enjoy when a project seems to become Federal.  Anyway ... without that up and running, hobbying would get more difficult.

Glad I got the 6 arquebusiers in yesterday morning.  Ended painting brown on 12 spearmen's pants, kept leaving that, and finally got around to it.

That are conditioning story sounds horrible because damn-was it hot.
Never heard the expression of something becoming Federal. I like it. ☝️

[Rowsdower]

Plauge beast should be finished by tomorrow.
I'd upload a photo but I'm too much of a luddite

When I was a youngster having to get a task accomplished, my father would sometimes say, "What are you doing, making a Federal project out of that?"  I'm sure he got it from my grandfather.

At the time I didn't get the meaning, probably looked at him like a deer in headlights, but one time he gave an explanation. Of course I appreciate it more these days.

Day 27   - Wednesday May 27th
Cleared the painting table, laid down some newspaper and loaded up a half inch brush with a sandy earth basecoat for my fields - and splashed it all over.
Drilled some holes in my rider legs and in the mounts to test run fitting.

Day 28    -  Thursday  May 28th

It's pushing 2pm here and I have already wielded the paintbrush AGAIN.
Further base coats on my fields, and first base coats on 3 thatched roofs on some buildings I have had partially built and painted for yonks.

[Artobans Ghost]

Day 28 - minimal - put together goblin starter set t-pee and based little bits that come with it. Very little in the big scheme of things.

[Gankom]

Day 25 and 26 was spent reorganizing model boxes and repacking things so that units and armies were together. Easy to pull out for future use!

Day 27 & 28 I had myself a small skirmish game. Dwarf adventurers venturing into the depths of the earth to look for threats facing the Hold. They've discovered a growing horde of creatures controlled by sentient ish fungus, and now they need to marshal to clean it out!

[StealthKnightSteg]

So the 3rd day is a bit of a cheat in my book, but I guess it counts as it's hobby involvment.. And I planned to do some stuff Thursdayevening also but my mind was totally not up to it.

Week 3
May 18th:
-Painted more on my Maglinant Plaguecaster and he is nearly finished, just a bit more metal doing the wash over that and a few details to pick out and the finish off the base.
May 20th:
-Finished painting the Malign Plaguecaster, and started slapping on the first few color on the Lord of Contagion and the Plagueburst Crawler!, though they ain't on my month schedule to do, but I was working on Death Guard and having a bit of spare time, tomorrow I want to focus down on the Broadside
May 21st:
-Painted more on the Broadside like I said I would and when I had to wait for paint to dry I grabbed the last Inceptor to put on the first layer of green, not the most enjoyng painting to do big time layering but it has to be done to get to the better parts.

Week 4
May 24th:
-Painted more on my Broadside; got a lot of work done on my Lord of Contagion
May 25th:
-Slapped a bit of paint on the plagueburst crawler, its now black and green (and primer white)
May 26th:
-Picked up some T'au scenery models some local crew has printed for me and had a nice 1 hour chat about the hobby with the dude where I picked it up. (Link here for anyone interested. Pictures of the stuff will be in my blog in a few days. Got the bunker, Weapons Turret (that did not go fully on how it should be) and Battlefield Structure / Objective Marker

[Padre]

Thursday - wrote the first draft of the (long) end of season report my skaven player will get. A report no-on in the world but him will read! But hey, if you're gonna do it, do it right!

I had the same philosophy when I tried to become an author.

On the hobby front; one of the nurgle spawns arms broke off so I replaced it with a giant, bulbous sore. Should have it finished by tomorrow.
