One more #Rumbleslam team done

Pretty happy with the hot coal effect on the troll, sadly my rubbish picture taking doesn't do it near enough justice as the light has washed it out slightly haha

Slightly personal post but this is a condition my son has and I agree vastly unknown by people..we got lucky and his paediatrics spotted it because they were clued up (although that was after many illnesses caused by it over the length of a year or 2)...Sorry it's MSN 😀

The painting roll continues with Provisionally Prepared!

What a fun and detailed mini!

Did this in 1 day at my inlaws dining table, good test for my mobile paint kit!

A little late but the Red Gobbo is finished

Pictured next to the 2023 one (painted in May 2024) shows how much progress I've made in my skills....still so much to learn but I think the improvement is noticeable

Lighting not the best but a WIP for the Red Gobbo that is well overdue

Well there you go i got a bye (aka a guaranteed win) in the last game due to uneven numbers of players so I finish the tournament with 1 win and 5 losses

Alot of fun and some tactics learnt....I suspect that I will never be higher than bottom 1 or 2 in my Kill Team tournament life but no biggie

Yesterday was day 1 of a 2 day #Killteam24 tournament at my FLGS

0-3 record for me (21-2, 20-8, 13-7)Tac Op and Crit Op scoring mainly on mine but never both hence my low points

But am I disheartened? No because it's about fun and memories with plastic soldiers how can anyone get sad about that?

We did it!
Next Wednesday the Kasrkin go to war!

A few things I tried as new (eg camo and melta) can be improved but overall very happy with these guys and look forward to giving them a run out

Next up the belated Red Gobbo!

3 more Kasrkin models fully painted and based

Melta gun i tried something of a blend that didn't quite work but I'm happy enough to leave it rather than make it worse

2 more to go, then decals and we have a fully operational Kill Team

Kasrkin Kill Team test model complete (minus decals), may grime him up a bit but undecided as I do like a shiny model!

New mini photo tent works a treat as well!

I am pretty happy with the first paint job of 2025!

A might hobby haul from my family at xmas!

Hope da red gobbo blessed all you #nerdlings with the hobby gifts you deserved!

For the last 3 evenings I have been taking the print supports off so many helmets and discs for paint swatches (i think combined at least 250)

Christmas eve will feature alot of undercoating and slapping of paint 🎨! But it will really benefit my 2025 painting i think!

(Pics now incl)

Kill Team at my FLGS tonight.

My Yaegirs vs Opponents Corsairs
Corsairs won it 12 to 7 VP as they played a blinder!
I forgot my Resourceful points which didn't help me but its all learning and much fun was had as he ran over my mines! :)

Good times with good people!

Been quiet this week as life is so busy on run upt to Christmas.

But aside from the stress of life and work I have been managing to get some chill time in, alot of gaming where possible and 1 game of Kill Team so it's not all bad.

I hope you are all coping with the pre holiday stress as well!
