My #deathguard went to Las Vegas and walked out 3-2-1, which is a fairly pretty scoreline.

I've really enjoyed playing and painting this army, but I'm onto something else for teams and #newyearnewarmy.

Building a display board for LVO! First time I've ever done one, so it's a bit basic in it's design, but I'm having fun with it.

Hobby Accomplishments!

I finished ten Storm Boyz and painted up the Void Dragon before jumping into something new.

I wanted something I could paint quickly and play with colors. So I went with "fever dream" as the target for the scheme.

I did not hit my hobby goals this year.

Later, I'll post about what I did accomplish, but first I'm going to do a little bit of a retrospective critique.

I started the year with the goal of painting 10,000 points. It was audacious and I did not necessarily think I could hit it.

I got the brass done! At least, until I decided to catch the centipedes up to everything else. Here's the Tomb Stalker, ready for the next step. The Sentinel needs its legs done.

12 hour shifts don't leave a lot of time for hobbying, but I'm focused on painting the brass on one wraith a day. So far this week, I'm 3/3!

I fell behind updated, but this past week saw me paint more brass, assemble the Tomb Stalker, play a game, and prime the Tomb centipedes as well as a couple of Conquest models.

Yesterday, I played in an RTT. Today, I got two more wraiths and this Tomb Blade through the brass step.

I didn't get a lot of hobby done this past week on account of working 60 hours, but it's only 50 this week, so I hope to get a few more wraiths done.

Dude. There is so many brass parts on these wraiths. Making small progress.

The blue highlights are done and I can put down the airbrush until near the end. Up next, brass!

Yesterday, I finished the Macragge Blue step, and started on the blue highlights.

Yesterday, I played a game against Tau and painted the Macragge Blue onto the remaining Tomb Blades, the characters, and 3 more Wraiths, leaving just 8 wraiths for this step.

Today, I haven't felt well, so I'm not getting anything substantial done.

Wanted to see how the Wraiths, Tomb Blades and Lokhusts would look with the blue blocked in, and I did the Doomstalkers. Might be too much blue on the destroyer, but I'm happy with it.

I'm combining yesterday and Tuesday because I only got a little time both days, but I have finished the black airbrush work. Next up is the blue.

Also, saying goodbye to the tray in the bottom right. Gotta figure out what I want to replace the Immortals unit with in my list.

Five more wraiths down, five to go (on the a/b black highlights).

Started the airbrush work to highlight the black on my Necrons. Goal this week is to complete this step (10 Wraiths to go) and then the blue airbrush work on it all (some 36 models).

My FLGS just acquired gaming space but they have zero terrain for Warhammer! So, I dug out this old Cityfight terrain I made ages ago, completely rehabbed it, and I’m donating it to them. Let’s hope it helps inspire some games! 😁 #bethechange #WarhammerCommunity #warhammer40k

Went 1-2 today at an RTT, beating Chaos Knights and losing to a Canoptek mirror match and then Thousand Sons. First losing day with Necrons this edition. Still, had fun and I do like my list. Gotta practice it more.

Yesterday, I got the Doomstalker, wraiths, and two characters to the same state as the rest of the list by giving them a coat of Abaddon Black. Seems redundant when I prime them black, but I find it important to make sure the finish is uniform at the end after touch ups.
