I finished off my Old One Eye kitbash, The Tyranid Hunter Ultramarine is on the base, he doesn't pop, though. The blue is a bit subdued compared to my normal palette.
The kitbash was mostly based from the Screamer Killer. I think they look different enough
Next up should be Exocrine, Winged Hive Tyrant, and Norn Emissary, unless I get sidetracked.
I don't collect Space Marines, but I have this really cool Ultramarines Tyranid Hunter metal model from about 2006. I really want to try and put him on my Old One Eye kitbash base . Hopefully, I can do it justice, although I am terrified at the prospect of having to paint a face!
The Terror of Vardenghast - finished up my Winged Tyranid Prime, which completes my Combat Patrol!
This was a fun one to paint, but I messed up my wing recipe and used Fulgrim Pink instead of Pink Horror, I might fix it later.
Latest model: Nob on Smasha Squig.
I'm getting ready for a Combat Patrol event in February. I've got Morgrim's Butchas, which is appealing rules-wise as it's only 3 datasheets.
My other option is the Vardenghast Swarm...
I painted everything in a hurry for a casual game, and now I need to go back over each model and do final touches and highlighting.
Test model for T'au. I thought white would be an absolute nightmare, but it was actually a lot of fun, and I love the teal. I need to figure out the base and maybe another accent colour 🤔
Challenge: 2,000 points in 2 months (130 models)
I've booked a game at Warhammer World in June, and I have ~60 days to paint my entire list at a rate of just over 2 models per day.
I don't think I'll make it, but it's a nice challenge and is keeping me motivated.
How it started:
How it's going:
I got Ufthak Blackhawk for Christmas and had a lot of fun painting him up. Still some finishing touches to do!
I'm not sure about the colours of red Cape and the green dark eldar (?) head hanging from the chain
First Vargheist - simple scheme and only took a couple of hours to get to this point. Might do some more highlighting, but otherwise, I'm happy with it
Finished Blood Knight! I'm not sure about the red lance, but I wanted a different colour for the weapons, and black looked unfinished.
The base photographed badly but also looks a bit bare.
Im going through Detachments to decide what to prioritise for painting. I've got a good mix of models and used to run Green Tide, but I don't think I have enough Boyz for 10th edition Green Tide.
I clearly don't have the right models for Kult of Speed, Dread Mob, or Bully Boyz. I also would likely also need more models (Squigs and rigs) for Da Big Hunt. That leaves me with War Horde.
I think I need to start with my Warboss, a couple of squads of Boyz, Stormboyz, and Gretchin for the backbone for 500-point games.
Below the 'Keep Reading' line is a list of models.
I spent most of this weekend cleaning and fixing minis from my 40k Ork army.
I found a kitbash where I used a Trukk and a Mekgun kit to make four Mekguns. I think I used this link:

I'm now very aware that I'm massively adding to my grey pile of shame by cleaning up the whole army...
My Weirdboy kitbash made from a Savage Orc Big Boss model with his axe swapped out for a Mek-y looking staff and a pouch with a gun (which should maybe go on his chest or back instead).
I am starting to come to the end of my Tyranids and will be picking up my old Ork army. I had loads of fun making some weird conversions - here's of an Ork Warboss in mega armour made from a forgeworld dreadnought. Probably Ultramarines, but I can't remember.
He's got Killer kan feet and a bunch of Orky guns wrapped with wire and random Ork bits stuck on.
Its needs a repaint - my old orks have pink skin and blue Deathskullz plates, but this time I'm thinking teal/turquoise skin. I've got a nice magenta that I want to include in the scheme somewhere.
Hobby adjacent post:
I really want to get into the gaming side of Warhammer 40k, so I decided I needed a way to store and transport my miniatures.
I remember having a lot of fun with this when I was a kid. I got a big thick sheet of furniture foam and cut holes in it with a holesaw bit. Then, I stuck the foam to thin sheets of mdf and packed layers into a massive toolbox. I think this alternative solution is a lot more elegant but less fun...
If anyone is curious, I used a 4L A4 Really Useful Box and a sheet of 0.75mm self-adhesive rubber steel ferrous sheets from The Magnet Shop. It was about £10 for one sheet and one box. The sheets stick really well. This box will probably hold 60-80 infantry models.
The sheets I got were receptive to magnets (not magnetic). I got 2mm x 5mm round N45 magnets for the bases, but I'll definitely need stronger/bigger magnets for anything bigger than a termagant.
Finished the Parasite of Mortrex. I can't believe how small the model turned out to be, it's so cute!
I finally nailed down my scheme for the wing membranes. I tried the really light pink that I use for highlights (Fulgrim Pink) with red ink and then a separate try with purple ink, but it looked wrong.
I've gone for Pink Horror, with purple ink and then a drybrush of Pink Horror and then one more drybrush with a 50/50ish mix of Pink Horror and white.
I felt the model was lacking in the pink carapace colour, so I added some Rippers to the base.
I'm so happy with how the Swarmlord turned out! I always forget to take before pictures, but it was originally painted up in Kraken colours.
I managed to get two models out of the same box by buying an extra Hive Tyrant torso, so I've also got a Winged Hive Tyrant to paint.
I just remembered I actually have a whole bunch of genestealers, warriors, rippers, and the older hormagaunts and termagants hidden away in a box and still painted up as Kraken that I'll eventually need to repaint...
Painted up Trygon! I kept flitting between different models but have found the motivation to finish a bunch of them.
