Quarantine update #2!

More Necron painting has been complete! Managed to finish off some Heavy Destroyer conversions. Instead of buying the upgrade pack, I just made some bigger guns. The gun itself is made from the Destroyer kit, Immortal gauss blaster and a Deathmark synaptic disintegrator. I think they look suitably different from a regular destroyer.









Also finished is a base of Scarabs. These are all made of greenstuff, which is something I've been thinking of trying for a bit. I think they came out alright.

Quarantine update!

Smashed out a Necron Nightbringer, nuff said. Only a small amount of greenstuff was required to make the finecast model work..... Still working on some heavy destroyer conversions and some greenstuff scarabs.

Quarantine hobby time!

Well, some good news then some bad news. I'd originally been planning to go on a work trip to the US later this month / early next month that coincided with a 40k tournament that some friends were running. That trip got cancelled, though prior to most countries putting travel bans in place. Good news, I'd be able to make the 40k tournament. Alas, the owners of the venue cancelled all events there, meaning no tournament. While unlucky, probably for the best given everything going on. A silver lining to this is that I'll have more time to get my 2000pts of necrons assembled, painted and maybe have a display done as well! Plenty of time for hobby work now! Few pics of recent things below. 

Sprues from recently delivered stuff. Delivery guy asked in anyone at the property had cv-19. Thanks for asking I guess. 



First attempt at a green stuff scarab.

Funko POP! repaints and Aliens!

Painted up a couple of Funko POP! Space Marine Intercessors as some gifts for friends. Pretty happy with how they turned out. 

Thousands Sons repaint next to one out of the box.






3rd Company Imperial Fist Intercessor. I used some old transfers, hence the tactical squad symbol on the right pauldron. Not sure what the marking for Intercessors actually is.

 

Iron Hands Intercessor.



All together now!






Still working through my AvP minis as well. Finished off the Queen and the Praetorian. This just leaves the Predalien and facehuggers to go.

New Year, New Post

New year, therefore time for a quick blog update. I'd finished and taken photos of these guys a few weeks back but a corrupt SD card on my phone wiped the photos out. 





Group shot (warrior, infant, runner)


On the to-do list is a display board for my Necrons, which I'm putting together for a tournament later this year.


As always, the hobby hope is to clear my backlog of unpainted minis. As a few kickstarters arrived last year, that number has increased a fair amount. Currently to paint (or repaint) list is:
- AVP: 18 minis (mostly predators)
- BFG: 36 (Imperial Fleet)
- Dropfleet Commander: 47 (UCM and Scourge)
- Infinity terrain: 18 (range of buildings to scatter terrain)
- Spacehulk: 35
- RPG minis:
- Core Space: ~62
- Deep Madness: (......no idea)

Quick update with a few finished AvP minis, and some photos of the next wip works.


Sentry guns!






Alien runners (think the one from Alien3)







Warriors


So many arms to choose from.....


Fully armed...... (terrible pun intended)



Next step is to undercoat and start painting

New year, new post (2022 edition)

Well, somehow its 2022. No idea where the time has gone, I'm still mentally stuck in March 2020. Painting has been slow recently, but I ...
