I paint minis, sometimes retro, sometimes modern, almost always Warhammer.
#hobbystreak day 674

Ive finished the basecoats for the eels, bar a couple of tiny bits.

Decided to focus on just one eel to get a bit of a scheme done. So eel 1 has had its main skin, reds and blues highlighted.

Steady progress on the Idoneth. The basing for the eels and the soulscryer is more or less done. Just need to do the fish.

The eels themselves are starting to get thier basecoats done, and I assembled the sharks, though that does still need a base doing.

The last 3 namarti thralls are painted. Finally finishing the unit, they definitely look good together.

Onward to the next unit. The eels are getting their bases done, sand was done first, and now the start to the seaweed 'flying stands'

Not much in the way of updates as I've been mostly fixing some old minis and stripping some things ready for new-year new-army.

The last week or so, I've finished making my eel riders, minus making some seaweed out of greenstuff for 'flying' stands. And made the mage leader.

#hobbystreak day 685 (yesterday)

More progress on the thralls, green copper and skin is done now. Only blue and red left to do!

Given the weather, it's time to get ahead on building so I can spray when the weather is good, so tonight I worked on the eels from the set.

Paging all those lovers of weird miniatures.

Can anyone help me ID this oddity?

First glance, citadel LE 15 warlock. However, they have a clear plastic? glass? bottle that they slot into. The legs have been swapped out with a peg that fits into the bottle.

Conversion or rare relic of GW past?

Starting on the next 3 thralls, basecoats are mostly down now bat the metallics.

Looking forward to moving on to the less alabaster elves in this combat patrol!

2 more Idoneth thralls complete.

There was a definite moment of joy sticking these minis on their bases that I generously made & painted months ago! Thanks, past me!

Lovely to see the unit coming together, a batch of 3 next and then I can look towards the sharks and eels!

#hobbystreak day 673 (yesterday)

I've not had much painting mojo the last few days, but I've managed to do a little more basecoating and get all the green highlighted up.

I do like the idoneth, but when I bought them I played AoS regularly. Not so much atm, so the drive to paint them is lower.

#hobbystreak day 669

With no gitz left to paint, it's time to look back at the Idoneth spearhead.

I'm 5/10 done on the thralls, with painted bases ready and waiting. Tonight I got most of the basecoats done on the next two.

#hobbystreak day 667

That's 20 more gits done and dusted!

Lovely models to speedpaint, they have just the right amount of detail for a horde unit.

Also, that brings me back to 0 unpainted gitz and brings my pile of shame under 200!

#hobbystreak day 663

After my first spray and pre-zenithal basecoats, I've zenithalled the stabbas and started applying speedpaints.

Doing batches of 20 at a time is a lot, but since they are fully done with speedpaints, progress still feels fast! A 5.5-point goblin only deserves so much effort!
October 2, 2025 at 10:23 PM
#hobbystreak day 658

Finished off the single Repentia, so now I can field a full unit of 10 should I wish.

On to the next oroject: taking a chunk out the pile of shame with a unit of 20 stabbas. I finished assembly today, including some minor kitbashes to make the unit different from my first one.

#hobbystreak day 655

The Loonshrine is finished. Sure, I could do more, but it's more than tabletop ready, and I'm happy.

Onto a mini project with 1 sista repentia, I bought a single so my 2 combat patrols worth of repentia can now be a unit of 10!
September 24, 2025 at 9:48 PM
#hobbystreak day 652

Making steady progress on the loonshrine. It's a huge kit, so even with speedpaints, it takes time to paint.

Definitely starting to see it come to life though, which is very satisfying!

I think swapping between a sister and a massive got of AoS terrain has got me feeling a bit unfocused.

Nethertheless, I've just put the finishing touches to my new jump pack Cannonness. Ready to lead my seraphim and up the meagre 8 hand flamers to an impressive 9!
September 18, 2025 at 10:17 PM
#hobbystreak day 646

More slow and steady progress on my hobbydesk

Firstly, the Catachan guardsman is now based and complete.

Next Ive started on the faction terrain for my gitz, greenstufing and startingbthe pre-zenithal paint. Also made progress on my jump Cannonness basecoats.
September 14, 2025 at 10:13 PM
Thanks, it's one of my projects for when I just want something different, not attached to an army. I've painted a few now!
September 10, 2025 at 11:45 AM
#hobbystreak day 642

I've not had a huge amount of painting time the last few days.

Decided I needed a bit of a refresh, so I painted a mini from one of my regular side projects, the lava world Catachans.

Needs a few details done, but I do enjoy painting the occasional guardsman in this scheme.

#hobbystreak day 639

After yesterday's game vs Dark angels (my first win, a random sister killed the lion with a multi-melta),it's back to AoS!

I still have a small backlog of Gitz, not least of which the faction terrain, which is near vital in a Gitz army. Assembly is leaving huge gaps atm!

#hobbystreak day 637

Put the finishing touches onto the paragon warsuits. Just in time to waltz onto the battlefield tomorrow evening!

I'm not sure how to best use them, obviously with Vahl, but in reserves? Or is having 1-2 turns without a 5th of your points too much? Start them on the board?
September 4, 2025 at 9:58 PM
#hobbystreak day 634

Metallics inked and a start on the cabling for the warsuits. Ignoring the completely unpainted superiors face, I'd say we've reached minimum viable product.

Still, the devil's in the details, and there's plenty of those left to paint!
September 1, 2025 at 10:11 PM
#hobbystreak day 632

Still working on the paragons. Most of the basecoats down now. That trim sure was 'fun' but looks good in the end.

I've also quickly whipped up the sci-fi urban bases.

The aim is to be finished by game night this Friday!
August 30, 2025 at 10:19 PM
#hobbystreak day 629

Following yesterday's draw (I think I would have won had my opponent not had to leave end of turn 3) my paragon warsuits continue getting thier paint, focusing on the purple tonight.

I would have got more done, but I got distracted converting up a jump Cannonness.
August 27, 2025 at 10:15 PM
#hobbystreak day 627

I have a game tomorrow, my first 2k 40k 10th game! My local game space is hosting a league, so this is my test game before submitting my army list.

And then, because I can't bear to play with unpainted minis, I've slapped down the basecoats on the paragon warsuits!
