Dreadtober week 1 progress

 Hi All,

I've had a good first week at Dreadtober and have finished the Reaver Titan:

Many pictures are on my instagram here:

I am really pleased how its turned out with the pre shade working very well on the armour and managing to pull off the stripes with a chipping effect as well.  The base suits and I must admit I like the versatile terrain names it really suits AT models.

I have also progressed my second project the Leviathan Dreadnought its current status is:


You might wander why a space wolf dreadnought is rusty brown well this is the base coat which has been varnish sealed as this will be what you see when the top coats are chipped back to reveal damage and rusting.  Again solid start and looking forward to getting more done.

Keep going folks we need something positive to focus on in these crazy times.

Cheers

Doc's Dreadtober Entries, Attempts

 Hey all,

Doc is back and I have decided to take part in this years DREADTOBER, que Dave's wonderful banner:


Well like everyone I have had a shit year in 2020 with being diagnosed with a pituitary brain tumour and recently finding out I have a underactive thyroid to boot alongside the covid shit show it aint great.  Much of the time I don't feel that great but despite this I have two targets for this Dreadtober.  

Firstly finish this Reaver Titan which I started literally ages ago.  Current Progress is:


Secondly a Space Wolf Leviathan Dreadnought which has just been built:


Time to get cracking in the meantime if you wanna get involved head on over to https://dreadtober.blogspot.com/ and remember to use the #dreadtober when posting on instagram and social media.

Cheers and BOOOO its nearly halloween.

Happy New Year 2020 (Hobby Resolutions and Blogging Moving Forward)

Hi All,

Happy New Year! Wow its 2020 that sounds like something from a science fiction movie rather than real life.  Well here we are the year I will turn 40 years young and 30 years since I started in this hobby.  Wowsers I am getting on now I suppose!

Anyway the last twelve months saw a significant drop off in blogging.  We as group seem to have really migrated to quicker social media platforms as a way of sharing our work. However... the blog is not dead and I will post here on occasion and I always keep the log of what minis I have painted in the side bar up to date.  Today 2nd Jan I have added my first completed mini for the year a genestealer cult abberrant.


So whats my aim for the year.... Well broadly similar to the last two years I am aiming to paint 100 models.  Frustratingly I have finished in the 90's in both the last two years so surely I can push it over the line this year!  I also aim to get my genestealer cult to a fully painted state and hopefully attend Battlefield Birmingham doubles again. I also aim to get a usable force of adeptus titanicus ready to go because the game is amazing!

Anyway peace out all have a great year and be kind to each other (well at least once a day!)#

Cheers

Adeptus Titanicus, current progress....Knight and Strategic Assets

Hi All

Bluddtoof here with a quick progress update on my Titanicus stuff.
Still loving this and I've now completed the first knight with the other 2 well on the way.
I also painted up the 6 strategic assets whilst other things were drying over the last week.
Once the knights are done I'll be buying the first of my titans, probably warhounds to start so I can build up to the bigger models.
I still have no idea which legio to do or even if I want to paint a canon one or make up my own. I'll cross that bridge once I get to it.

Here's a few pics of the state of play.....



That's the assets
And here's a few idividually..








And the knight..










Once all 3 are done I'll weather them together a little.
Hope you like, C & C welcome as ever....

Hobby Update, Apologies and Adeptus Titanicus!

Hi All

First up a big apology from myself and on behalf of everyone here at Code40k for our lack of activity over the summer! Hopefully now the weather's calmed down we'll all be a little more active.

So this will be a bit of an update on the little bit of stuff I've done over the summer and the lovely stuff which has reignited my mojo.......namely Adeptus Titanicus!



As you've probably seen from Docs last post (back in the mists of time, or more accurately June!) we sent a small posse to Battlefield Birminghams Doubles Tournament, here's a few pics of the force I took and a couple of 1 of my opponents I particularly liked...















The next task Doc and I embarked on was getting some scenery started for the next mission in The Cypra Incident; our narrative campaign, which is due a revisit soon
Some pics of the scenery in progress....










Then of course I need to get some new Ork forces ready for the airfield mission, in the form of some more Deffkoptas....





This was when the weather turned near tropical in South Gloucestershire! With paint drying on the brush, never mind the pallet, I found other things to do......

.....until Adeptus Titanicus hit...

I wasn't prepared to splash £200 outright so I used some vouchers I had and dipped my foot in with the rules set and a box of knights to start, and started to build some scenery from scratch.
Pics....















I'm well impressed by the rules and the models are really nice so I splashed out on some of the GW scenery; the Civitas Imperialis Sector. This kit is FANTASTIC! Loads of bits with a really nice modular construction system. You can make a lot from it....




I've got quite a few odd bits left over which will find homes on titan bases and in more scratch built scenery.

And so now I'm nearing completion on my first knight.....



















And that's me up to date.......almost, whilst I've been writing this and waiting for pics to upload my first knight is very near completion, just some weathering powders to apply and he's done, but more on him next week....
Here's a little vid of so far...
