Fantastic game of #warhammer40k this afternoon! I won with my Orks, 71 to 56, against some nasty Salamanders, with the Dread Mob detachment (without a Stompa this time).
Awesome moments included me missing 10 shots hitting on 4+ with my Meka Dread, all my Meganobz and Big Mek dying to one round of Hellblaster shooting even with 4+ invulnerable saves, 2 vehicles also exploded, which is always fun, and my gretchin were massacred by a flyer in one volley, which is also always fun 😂
Some of the goodies I picked up yesterday at the Exeter Legionary Wargames Show. Some classic 2nd edition Gretchin and Space Marine scouts, some Bolt Action Australians, and some of the classic paints, including Goblin Green.... let's hope they still work.
I must have knocked her over by accident because at some point her judgemental finger fell off. Time to check the bits for a spare Necron finger to replace it with. I'm pleased with the clothing, need to shade and layer the face and the door she is standing on feels like it could use some rust.
Greater Good - Krooll Wild Rider sent to my by Wargame Exclusive painted up today. I had a lot of fun with this model, there is a load of detail and character to it.
Need to get back in the habit of taking pictures as I go. Last month's free mini is on the desk currently, along with a Scout Kill Team and some Blood Angels Terminators.
Well, my #warhammer40k game didn’t go well, as I tried out a dumb Dread Mob list with a Stompa! Sisters of Battle wrecked the poor thing with multi meltas, and did the same to my Gorkanaut in the same turn.
Losing half my army in one turn left me struggling, we finished the game on 53 to 75. I drew horrendous secondaries that I could never score, and my poor Ork boyz got slaughtered by the Triumph of Saint Katherine. Still, insanely fun game, and the Stompa exploding caused a lot of damage!
The last two Fellgor are done! My Kill Team is ready to wreak havoc. 😊
I like how the gradient on the shield turned out. And the colour of the cloth parts. And the psyker eyes.
I really enjoyed painting them and I learned a lot. Especially how I want to develop my own handwriting in miniature painting moving forward.
Die aktuelle Runde im #malwettbewerb ist vorbei. Unser Communitymaler @Avarchillion (Insta) hat mit Papa Nurgle's Knight gleich richtig zugeschlagen & neben dem vernurgelten Ritter auch noch eine unfassbar gute Base gestaltet. #paintingminiatures#warhammer40k#paintingwarhammer
The Greater Good - Aetherial Sakura from Wargame Exclusive. I really enjoyed painting this model, especially as it was a good excuse to use different colours than I normally paint minis.
I played a #Warhammer40K game yesterday with my golden boys vs my friend’s Salamanders.
That was my first win in 4 games with the Custodes (admittedly, pre-Codex), the game ended after my turn 3 and before his, as he basically had no way of scoring anymore, and I had a 24 points lead, so he conceded. That was a fun game, I lost a ton of models, he did too, a slugging match!
No weird secondaries to handle, just a good, fun game for a change!
The dozer blade is made from plasticard, heated and bent into shape.
The support structure is mostly plastic sprue and the pistons are plastic rod/tube.
The dozer blade can actually be removed, leaving the frame behind. The idea being that I could create different blades.
I have not got around to making any more.
For this Nob I wanted to create an ork that was the least "comic relief" I could.
In addition to a slight re-posing and modifications to the weapons, I also bulked up the body with some epoxy putty: add a blob to each existing muscle and smooth it in.
I also opened the jaw wider. This left only one tooth and a lip ring. Ol' one toof was born.
The boss pole also reflects this.
Then add a touch of blood from the last person that laughed.
In addition to fixing some of the mould/casting limitations, I also reposed and added various details to this squad.
The basing includes dying grass around their feet.
