The tau have made a solid start to bringing the greater good with @dave_hobby_corner. Time for a rest to start again tomorrow.

Guess who made the conversion with the wrong size base and now has to fix it🤦‍♂️

A little teaser for the weekend. I finally decided on a colour for the Pech’ra.

The clock is ticketing to get everything completed before this weekend’s #ThroneOfSkulls. Who else will be joining me & @dave_hobby_corner at the tables of Warhammer World?

Working on some farstalkers and currently trying to decide on a colour for the birdie boy. Any suggestions?

So my Kroot Ethereal on ‘Hover Drone’ is done. Onto the next unit for the 40K doubles at the end of the month.

Not a lot of hobby completed recently but I have been updating some more Clone troopers… I may finish painting a model soon.

After a lot of failed hobby session attempts &a big motivational slump. I finally got some paint on a model but discovered 2 of my paints have gone funky.

But progress is progress.

So the Ethereal conversion for the Throne of Skulls doubles is pretty much done (bar a little gap filling).

Would you accept this as a Kroot Ethereal on ‘Hover Drone’?

Recently I have been struggling to focus on doing any hobby. But I’ve started converting again ready for the Throne of Skulls doubles in October .

I’ve been struggling to motivate myself to paint some more orange on my Orks.

Any progress is good progress.

I’ve started converting another warboss but I need to wait for some greenstuff before I can prime him. I’m liking the progress so far.

I have had a bit of a hobby slump so tried to build & undercoat some ork boyz… but this buggar ran out & I have no back up. 😡

After this weekend’s event I’m planning on revamping old models. I think next on the painting table is my long put off Battle Wagon…can I stay focused on the biggest model I’ve revisited yet.

Competed in another doubles event with @dave_hobby_corner. Some great close games & a 50% win result.

I was very pleased to walk away with another painting award for my Ork Nobz unit.

So the list was put - & in after a tie across all voting platforms I panicked & decided on the Bully Boyz!

First game trialled last night with@dave_hobby_corner & lost partly due to failing 2 big charges… what have I done? 😂

Ok guys I’m going to a 500 point doubles 40K event and I’m split on whether to take Orks or Kroot. So what does the general public think??

(Leave comments below as to which I should take).

A bit of painting on the Deff Dread before I make better efforts to hide the joins of the fixes.

I do like a bit of odd Orky freehand work.

Ok… I’m not really a Khorne guy but this model is screaming at me to be painted .

This guy is 100% going into my Warhammer Quest enemy pool. He'd be a great dungeon boss.

After intensively painting Kroot I think I needed a change. Time to dig out a secondhand Deff Dread that needed a little repair. Time to paint some orange!
