Projects, Projects, Projects!!

Hi All

Bluddtoof here, been a while since I posted and quite a while since I engaged in any painting too, what with a hot spell, a wedding and a major project in the garden.
I've got my motivation back now though and some time for the hobby, so I thought I'd just post a little update on my recent work and plans for the rest of the year...

So as you can see in some of my posts from this year I've started a 30k Imperial Fists army, currently part way through a breacher squad...

They'll need to be finished.....

However I kick started my mojo by jumping back to my 2nd Imperial Knight, a Questoris Magaera...

I'm gonna finish this bad boy before jumping to anything else, next will be the breachers to finish, then the Ork Burna Bomma I started a while ago and a Thunderbolts Contemptor I started even longer ago! And then of course I need to finish up my Blood Bowl Dwarves and Orcs

Posts for the Imperial Fists are here

Posts for the Blood Bowl teams are here , and here , and also here

and Posts for the Contemptor are here

Then once all of those projects are done I'm going to tackle my Stag present from the Code boys......
...an Acastus Knight Porphyrion! Love those Guys!!

So that's me done for now, stay tuned for progress reports over the next few months and hopefully by the end of the year all that will be done.

House Move Complete - New Hobby Space

Hi All,

Well our house move is finished and a family holiday just a 4 year old's birthday next weekend and life will return to normal.  As a result all is quite on the modelling front although I now have a permanent hobby space something I haven't had for some time.

After spending quite some time on it getting stuff where I want it and finding missing stuff.  I have managed to get it looking like this:

I will slot my pc in the gap when I get around to it.

Good natural light plus may pick myself up some daylight bulbs or lamps.  If anyone would like to share a link or links to good lights they recommend that would be great.  I have laid out my scimitar jetbikes as they are first project to finish off then it will be a valkyrie gunship for my guard.

Spent some time further labelling boxes and so on to make it easier to find stuff.  This doesn't look like much but i have so much more not pictured and finding stuff is important!

So much stuff still to build should stop buying really.... oh the rest of my life lol!

This room also has a handy key lock entry so I can leave glues, paints and knives lying around without worry of my small people interacting with them!  Anyway until next time when I get back to normal hobby updates and hopefully have fitted in a game of 8th with Dark Bristles.

Cheers

Perverts on your knees...

Evening all
Firstly abit of music to keep the noise marines happy

In my absence the world has been torn apart and a girlyman is walking round pretending he's the Emperor sowing his geneseed wildly. I haven't yet dived into 8th edition and as my chapter (Space Wolves) don't have a very good history of playing well with others I'm in no rush for big marines, just think I'll use what I have till I've played abit more.

Anyhow what i am doing is scratching another itch and diving into 30k. So far i'm painting my blob squad and the characters from the Calth box set after that a support squad, heavy weapons squad and a contempor. Then maybe abit of zone mortallis while i collect vehicles

Here are some WIP shots of the Emperor's Children, waiting for shoulder pads to arrive before I continue. 

The Chaplin is the nearest completion

Cannon fodder

Legion Vexilla/Sergeant/Nuncio-vox

 The Sergeants chest eagle is off a 40k marine torso and the Nuncio-vox is kitbashed from drop pod harness' and an auspex

Nuncio-vox

Sergeant and corporal

The Sergeant and what I call a Corporal are magnestised and the Corporal head can be swap so i can make 2 10 man squads out of the blob if needed.

thats about it for now, the only question left is are they goodies or baddies
Cheers
