Whilst in Warhammer World I picked up myself a Master of Executioners and some bases for my Aeronautica Imperialis planes to let me use them in Legions Imperialis

A trip to see family in the east, so we stopped in at Warhammer World for some lunch, did a little bit of hobby in Bugmans Bar whilst waiting for lunch

Played my Combat Patrol League game against Brian, it was a 74-50 win for him

Think I focused too much on the Rockgrinder and not enough on the troops!

The other day I got the flying base for the Valkyrie redone for my Astra

Just got a couple of old Forge World Krieg Commissars to pop onto some 28mm bases

I had to drop out after the game against Ed, neither of us was going great, I was exhausted

But it was a chilled out fun game, of course I lost badly, Ed is an excellent player, such a great guy to play with

The Guard faced Craig’s Wolves first in today’s tournament and it was a loss but I do enjoy playing Craig, great fella and alway a laugh

Closer shot of a Scions rebasing, not the best example, but the idea is a muddy field that was once grass but now churned up by the toil of war

Also took the time to add some heat damage to the flamers/Melta Guns, the last base is the one for the Valkyrie, and the Thick Mud has been put on that to dry overnight

All 60 members of the Tempestus Scions are now rebased, that’s was a big job, was able to do it whilst I played DnD with Lindsay and CJ whilst Megan GMd

The major part of the rebasing of the Astra Militarium is underway, so for day 670 of the #HobbyStreak I have 60 Scions on the table being rebased starting with some thick European Mud!

It’s bunny poo

But this is exciting, the past few days Pippin has been in gut stasis, which can quickly kill a rabbit

And to round out the forces for now, here is a trio of Yeoman, because the war against Hell need cannon fodder!

A Sniper Priest, not a specific Red Brigade model, but I really liked this guy

This is a combat medic, a suitably grimdark doctor!

A couple of models I will likely be using as Lieutenants to lead the Red Brigade against the forces of Hell

Printed some upgrades for the printer today, a do-dad for removing the tubes, a bigger poop bin, an arm for the external spool holder (in case we want to use some exotic filaments) and a little guide to help get the plate on easier
