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.

As for the board itself, it's pretty monotone, but that's the idea. My Fever Dream Death Guard are highlighted, with your senses washing out everything else to hyperfocus on them.

Also, made it very easy to paint! Insulation foam, grout, old ruins, cork, rocks, and skulls!

I built the frame myself, and it's sort of a prototype/proof-of-concept. The idea is the bottom acts as storage and the top can me swapped out for different armies. It's heavy, but nothing I can carry across a hall.

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 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!

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.

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

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.

With the wraiths, Canoptek Doomstalker, Chronomancer, and Overlord primed, my 2k list is now officially in the "painting" column in its entirety.

Day 1: Building more wraiths!

I love these models, but BOY! do they have a lot of pieces. Still got three more sets of arms for each to go.

2024 Hobby Goals: A thread.

2023 was not a good year for my hobby progress. Each year since the pandemic started has gotten worse and worse, culminating in only "finishing" 27 models this year, and that's a stretch to include three test models and a whole unit that still needs to be based.
