Second night for the #bloodbowl7s rookie league. Lots a fun was hard left and right, bombers flattened orcs, a skaven with a stiletto stabbed wood elves left and right, vampires and werewolves were going at each other in the sequel that #Twilight needed, and wood elves beat up Lizardmen with no remorse.
Loved hearing them exchange enthusiastic stories post game.
Yesterday evening was school #WarhammerAlliance and I got a boy and girl to paint #bloodbowl gnomes for me. I also did things with a pla printer that I should not have done but let's not talk about that.
I also restarted the skin and carapace on my #JeanSteelersCult mutants. Please tell me what you think of this shoulder so I can decide.
I'm finally making good progress on the Vyrkos Blood-borne from #cursedcity .
I'm quite happy with the fur and hair considering the scale.
I attempted NMM on the swords, but I was not happy, and I already tried a lot of new things on those models, so using regular metallic paint.
My first #AgeOfSigmar models, I think. Cloaks are gradations of contrast, and technical paints.
Those gorgeous bases are so full of details I went with a just nuln oil and agrax wash approach to contrast the vivid greens, with the occasional splash of colour or metallics
For a one-session-and-done #speedpaint I'm pretty happy.
The last mini I'll be painting for a while as I'm heading to the airport in a few hours for a well-earned holiday. But as a last model, I painted this Tyranid for Hive Fleet Behemoth.
First game of #TrenchCrusade! Absolutely loved it — a very close game (partly because at one point I forgot that holding objectives was a thing), a really great set of rules even while playtesting. Can’t wait to play again 🖤
More #TrenchCrusade thoughts from first playtest game (apologies, I decided to only take terrible pictures):
Really like the core mechanics, even at a playtest stage. The action economy (take as many actions as you want but if you fail a risky action, the activation ends) is really tactically interesting, and leads to some interesting decisions / trade-offs.
Blood tokens are also really nice – even long range harrying shots that stand little chance of doing real damage (for example, low level infantry left back holding home objectives taking potshots at an enemy elite) end up not feeling pointless or wasted, since they're stacking future woe on that character that one of your heavy hitters can take advantage of later.
My Heretics were great! Hadn't realised ahead of time how useful the forced movement abilities (Priest, Artillery Witch) would be for pushing enemies off objectives / into bad terrain / out of combat (with forced opportunity attacks...)
All the models look so cool. The game is a lot of fun. I've always held back though. I think 4e is gonna be when I finally jump in. But, the most important question:
HOW THE HECK DO YOU JUST PICK ONE FACTION? THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD!!!
I thought I would try something a little smaller than normal today. I painted some Death Guard Space Marines for Legions Imperialis. These guys really are tiny, but I still managed some edge highlights!
Hope everyone's having a good day, I managed a bit of progress on some Witch Aelves; just started the color blocking, but since it's been ridiculously humid and I've been unable to prime models, I'll call this a win!
Started feeling better enough to do some hobbying today. So I tested some of The Army Painter #warpaintsfanatic line on this test Alarith to see what the hubbub was about.
Yesterday I painted up these Myrmourn Banshees for my Nighthaunt for day 145 of the #HobbyStreak so they will get put with the rest of the army in Storage tomorrow
Did a deal with @justplay_ian over on Twitter to swap my old style painting handle XLs for the newer version, as they suit his disabilities a lot better
Happy to help out a fellow hobbiest, and was really happy to see a lot of people volunteering to help him out
Thanks for my handles dude, this reminds me how awesome the community can be
Nearly completed the first of two #Mordheim wells (gotta be prepared for the 🎲🎲) and then started my @Thrudball legacy team Akhorne, inspired by @StuWatts ofc. #nutsforthenutgod ofc but THIS THING IS SO EFFING SMOL
Got the Glaivewraith Stalkers finished tonight, they were a bit rough and a bit damaged in places, no idea who gave them to me, but did my best to rescue them
