Friday Warhammer: Unforgivably Messy

Two more Dark Angels, deployed to fight the increasing chaos in our living room.

This takes me to four Tactical Squads, and 2300 points. I've got a few really old models that need a bit of a touch-up to make them less hyper-nineties, and then I think it'll be time to take some photos of the whole shebang. Watch this etc.

Friday Warhammer: Big Gunbeasts Never Tire

Not a lot to say about these three - there's been Gargoyles all over the place for months now, and the Exocrine, like all my later 'Nid models, is very deliberately sparsely painted so as to fit in with my painting level as a teenager.

Still, it's very good to finally have some major-league artillery in my army. Poor old Barry Biovore wasn't really cutting it, as his almost hilariously pathetic duel with an Imperial Guard Basilisk a couple of years ago made all too clear.

Next time, things will be different...

40000 x 2

Woo eighty thousand hits woo.

Doubtless a lot of that is bot traffic, but still.

Tipping The Scales

We're into the last hours of the last day of January, so it's probably a good time for an update on my Year of Painting.

There's definitely been some modest progress, as you can see in the picture below. That's two finished Gargoyles, another two close to completion, and an Exocrine getting almost ready to get ignobly shot to death instantly the first time I put it into an army.

Slow progress, then, but progress nonetheless. Well, except for the small fact of it having been my birthday this month, so now I'm deeper in sprue-debt than ever.

Damn the generosity of others!

Saturday Warhammer: The Scale Of The Problem

One of my New Year's Resolutions (along with eating and drinking a bit more healthily and getting a senior professor fired for rampant transphobia) is to step up my painting game. I reckon I painted all of eight miniatures in 2018, and three of those were replacements for models destroyed in what we're calling only "The Incident".

So it'd be nice to do a bit better this time around. I've certainly got plenty of options, as the photograph below demonstrates.

Pretty daunting, I'll grant you - and more will likely arrive for my birthday in a week and a half (plus there's that whole Warhammer Conquest thing). Still, let's see how much smaller (larger; obviously larger) the pile will be by December 31st...

Whatever New Year

Been quiet around here for a while.

I won't cheapen my intentions by stapling the phrase "New Year's Resolution" to them, but I'm hoping to make a bit more use of this particular vertex of the blogohedron in 2019. With the first stretch of IDFC almost two thirds of the way through, that feels like it should be possible.

I guess we'll see, though. In any event; I hope everyone enjoys themselves today, and that 2019 finally breaks the grim run of increasingly indefensible orbits of that there Sun.

Best of luck to you all.
