No painting tonight, instead more terrain from the new sets getting prepped plus building some old KillTeam stuff to get some variety.

WIP Teal elements are base coated, just need to sort the black parts of the models out now. The flesh hasn’t changed since yesterday, but looks very different fully dry than it does wet.

WIP Metals are finished, gems are drying, as is the base colour for the purple and flesh. Got to decide how I’m tackling the teal & get the black bits base coated next.
WIP Progress made, just need to put the final highlight on the metals (drybrush Valejo Aluminium over it all). Then it’s picking out the cloth and leather and the faces, and finally the gems. Hopefully all done this week, but we’ll see.
And with this the Corsairs Combat Patrol (number 1) is built. Now I need to stop and do something quick and easy that I can finish to reset.
Though I do need to do more work on Fulgrim and build the last of my EC and paint them to have more list options. Especially now that I’m getting a sense of how I want to play them.
Rolled dice again today. Lost again, but improved. Now I think I have a list that suits me, I just need to learn how to pace it and get the best from the units. Oh and finish painting Fulgrim.
This was a bit of a pain, but not too bad. It is still in sub assemblies (turret, cockpit, top and bottom) for now. Plan is to paint the cockpit and canopy, then finish assembly and then do the rest.
Very small progress tonight, base colour applied to all the skulls and some other details started being picked out. I need to set them up the same way each time so the progress is clear.
WIP Terrain progress. Looking at it, I realise this is probably good enough, but I will be doing more work on it before I call it done.
This is both sad and happy news - hopefully they allocated enough for us for the FOMO box
Sometimes hobby is about paperwork to make playing easier. All the faction Strats for my EC list while I’m learning how things play. Locally the sleeves will be unique for easy identification as well.
While I only cut out terrain templates for hobby today I am excited that these old metal space elves arrived. (The Rangers are newer than my og ones, but will be fine with them.) This gives me 10 “Storm Guardians”, a Farseer that fits with the Exodites and 10 metal Rangers.
With this I’m finished rebasing all my painted Slaanesh that I need for my list. Now I just need to paint the other half of the list.
Just some more rebasing tonight. Need to rebase the endless spells and 10 Painbringers then paint 10 more, 5 Blissbarb Seekers, an Entrapturess and a Lord Hysteria to get my list fully painted.
Seeing other people’s painted ogres when we haven’t even been able to pre-order it here yet makes me jealous.
First terrain bit done which sorted the process.
WIP Base and metals to do on this boss. I’ve also started working on the table of terrain, hopefully that will not take too long and I’ll have a simple process for it.
And with this I have finished building half a table of terrain. Now to start on the other half.
A lot of people struggle to get through painting these big Warhammer boxes, so here are some tips from me, a person who hates batch painting but gets through them regularly...
Not painting, but 10 more Daemonettes rebased. Just 10 more to go.
No painting today. Took the Chorfs out again. Still haven’t finished a game, but things are coming back and I made less bad choices.
Not a lot of painting in the last 24 hours (the ork had 1 little bit of colour on the banner), but lots of assembly and prep was done. Just 1 more bit to assemble for half a table’s worth. It goes together well and I didn’t glue the various ruin corners. So they could be packed flat. #wh40k
