I think this dude constitutes the most different thing I've done recently! 54mm of relatively normal Guardsman is still Different, right?

Does it come much more different than an albino pirate Salamander and his pet croc-cannon?

Nice Nid Andy! Here comes a different kind of Stormlord. One with a fashion sense. Pink is just his color.

Been in something of a hobby slump this week, largely just been too knackered to do anything with it, but built these two the other night, converted plague marine champion and a model I'm using as a malignant plague caster.

Probate on the new house has finally come through after putting the offer in in October π Only problem is our buyers mortgage expires on the 17th June. Cutting it a bit fine but hoping this will be ours soon. Please keep fingers crossed for us!

Death guard Vs black templars in kill team. Phyrric victory for my death guard, lots of fun and learning. Not actually played them in the new edition, team is kinda mid but very limited by weapon choices imho.

day 2 - page and a bit of A5 written 15 mins or so before bed, definitely feeling a little rusty but also enjoying getting back to it. This isn't a sequel to my first novel I wrote, might be something of nothing but we'll see...

Came across an old Tau box from years ago that I had started to build/paint before I took a hiatus. Decided to spend an evening on a quick run of another model. We're getting better.

Actually sat down and wrote two pages of a new story last night. Doesn't sound like much but I'm trying to get back to writing. Treated myself to a new notebook to best capture my ideas too!

1424 today I did a few touch ups on the Broadside and realized that. While not perfect. I seriously did not want to spend the extra hours to fix them so I am gonna call it here. I need to edge highlight the alternate weapons but thats really a problem for when I game more than a paint 1

Did a lil bit of groundwork for the bren carrier. Can't lie I'm kind of in the absolutely hating what I've created stage of this, but know that it just needs a bit more time and attention and it'll come right π€π€

in 1845, Air John Franklin's doomed expedition set sail for the northwest passage. None of the 129 men would ever been seen alive again. Archeological evidence showed that the men resorted to cannibalism in a desperate attempt to stay alive. Might do a thread on this later...

I have some lovely rosemary and co brushes but I almost only exclusively used them for my 1/35 stuff, almost thinking they're too nice for my Warhammer bits. I'm being a snob here aren't I? Been thinking of getting some new brushes so maybe more nice quality ones?

Had a quick half hour when I got home to block some more colours in on these guys, not much, just some hoses, horns and some leather, but progress is progress, right?

Calling the camo scheme done on the jagdtiger, might have gone a bit mad with the dots but am I bothered lol. Decals and tools to do then it's pretty much done.

Hoping for some bench time tonight! 1/35 mojo is back and want to capitalise on it, already got my next 2 projects planned out. A very loose goal I've set myself is to get this over the finish line before we move...

Had this firefly kit the longest on my stash (my favourite tank) got it just after starting scale modelling it looked too complex after building the ancient tamiya panther. Now have the compulsion to build it, got aftermarket parts for it, only problem is it's buried in a box with moving stuff π
