Project 3

So after sitting on the fence for the better part of two years I finally decided on which minis to use for my Grenadier Veteran kill team; I went with Anvil's "Regiments" range and picked up my order from Salute over the weekend. So now I have the Armoured Sentinel (built, needs painting), my 10-man veteran squad (built, needs painting) and my Taurox (will be built as soon as I remember where I put my Victoria Miniatures wheel kit).

That means they are almost playable on the tabletop, both in 7th edition Kill Team and Shadow War Armageddon.. and just in time for the former to perhaps be invalidated by 8th edition 40k. Ho hum!

Bauhaus Progress

I had a little time this weekend to tidy up the paint job on one of my BAK squads and rebase the models to work with WZR 2.0. When I glue the other three crew to the base of my second gun, I'll actually have a squad I can call complete! (Everything else has had paint on it for almost 2 years, but doesn't really look finished)

Mini-project Progress

That's the last of the Warzone tokens I'm doing for the club - 300 in all. Phew! Also got the WREL prize cards back from ArtsCow. Print quality is good, card quality is OK but of course the image doesn't quite match up with what I saw in the card maker so I need to expand the image a little so the black edges don't show up. Not a big deal, and hopefully by mid-March I will have a few sets ready to ship out.

Now THAT is a Tie Swarm!

More precision flying from the HotAC AI. These guys are really gunning for the YT we are trying to protect!

NoPaint < PrePaint < RePaint?

So, not exactly a paint job per say, just a repaint over the basic HWK-290 model for X-Wing.

Progress on the wrong thing is still progress, right?

So it seems January is the month for trying to finish off small projects as I build myself up to some of the bigger ones that have been sitting for half a year (or more) on my painting table. My Warzone 2.0 tokens are done and I just have another 100 to make before I can give them out:

..and after some trial and error with printing the 'promo' cards, not to mention my requests for icons etc falling on deaf ears, I have figured out how to proceed with the production of them and I they are about set for Artscow:

I also painted a few more Undead Legionnaires for Warzone and finally got around to assembling my Necromutants, all of which I need so I can record a small tutorial on how the "Turning" rule works in 2.0. But perhaps most importantly, I finally finished my son's mech, his Thunderbolt TDR5-SS. Overall I am happy with how it turned out although I will probably add some decals later, and I may reposition the left arm since it is about 1mm futher back than the right and when held at the correct angle it is very noticeable.

Sweeeeet

Well played, Knight Models. This is a much higher quality product than I was expecting!
