Thanks guys Finished up the Warlord & Reaver I was working on, along with some plasma weaponry for them: Happy with how they turned out. Getting back to my Knights for AT while I wait on some armor to come in for the Imperial Guard force. Well, splitting hobby time between working on painting up some primed Knights and building myself a modular city board for Epic, but that's a topic for another sub-forum |

One last post, and then I'm caught up on the last year's painting, and can get back to the current stuff. The Iron Warriors got some more love too, with another 4 Havoc squads painted and 8 Iron Warriors Assault Marine formations painted up. I only have a WIP shot and these guys are in storage currently. These were all midsummer additions to the force back in 2022. Attachment: I also put together a Devastation Cruiser and a Retaliator Grand Cruiser (counts as Despoiler Battleship for E:A purposes) to represent my orbital support assets: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: In case you're wondering, these wonderful models were from Battlefleet Galaxy, who's put a ton of work into designing modular alternatives for BFG while GW leaves that game shelved. So yeah, that's me caught up on 2022 & 2023 hobby work so far. |

you switched to printing now on your fleet? what are you using for your infantry bases? I historically used VGM 25mm rounds but they chamfered them now so I don't want those anymore |

They look like Litko .8mm to me. |

I historically used VGM 25mm rounds but they chamfered them now so I don't want those anymore Sorry, only just saw this! Those two ships are special cases, as it were. I still have a hoard of Battlefleet Gothic plastics to work through, but I picked those ships up from Battlefleet Galaxy because (A) I love his stuff, and (B) they serve as really good distinct-but-similar variants to the standard Chaos classes that I can pass them off as up-armored Iron Warriors variants. Coincidentally, I also have a venerable battle barge conversion using other Battlefleet Galaxy parts sitting in foam in storage to work on later this year / early next, too. I figure there's some Battlefleet Heresy action in my future at some point. Also, infantry bases - I've been using Fenris Games for years: https://fenrisgames.com/shop#!/Epic-6mm-trays/c/8776794 All of my Iron Warriors are on 25mm round bases, and my Skitarii, demons & future guard projects are on his 15x40mm strip bases. They're nice & low profile, about 1.6mm once sandwiched together, and the holes are bored wide enough that Vanguard & Onslaught minis both fit in just fine. Beyond that, I throw on a super thin magnetic base bottom from Litko, and the whole thing basically sits at the same height as the classic GW plastic bases (and doesn't budge in transit when stuck to a magnetic sheet). Beyond that, I use Litko's Flames of War MDF in 1.6mm thicknesses + magnetic bottoms for tanks, and that rounds out the force. Now, hobby updates! I finished up another seven knights for AT/LI, three more Questoris chassis and a quartet of Cerastus Atropos. Haven't been able to set up a fancy backdrop for photography, so here's everybody on my painting table: Attachment: And here's the Questoris knights, pre-decals, sporting their new dual battle cannon arms: Attachment:

D3E7B9FF-EB8E-45AA-AF6A-BD4C692F9A30.JPG [ 721.59 KiB | Viewed 1439 times ] Finally, my current project is (still) converting a Warlord conversion beamer to fit on a Warbringer carapace mount. Finished cutting out portions of the old weapon, fitting the mounting point, backfilling everything I'd cut out around the mount, and building the trim back up with styrene & greenstuff. Once the trim greenstuff cures, it's all going to get a light sand & a filler layer of liquid greenstuff to smooth things out, and then I get to experiment with N-scale resin rivet decals!

Ahhh yes Battlefleet Galaxy are ace. I knew i'd seen that one before. super swish! You're pretty far into this conversion it appears but we did a nice printable carapace beamer on the facehole group. Probably long past the point of no return for you though |

I missed that one completely. And yeah, I cleared that point when the craft saw hit the $28 chunk of resin, basically. I'll be finishing this off, but I'd also be interested in trying to track down the easier-print alternative |

Sooo... last update was mid-puttywork on the conversion beamer. Yeah... I kinda got carried away over the last few weeks. So, here's what it looked like once I got the rivet decals down: Attachment: And here's the finished product in all its glory: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: And while I was at it, I painted up a paired gatling cannon mount for my Warbringers too, mostly because why not: Attachment: Attachment: Meantime, I started working on my second Dire Wolf, who's awaiting decals & basing sand tomorrow, and as long as it's not too humid, I'll try to get the nameplate primed: Attachment: Attachment: So yeah, I've been feeling the itch & painting lately, which is good I promise I'll get around to painting more Epic at some point. Probably going to try to finish off my primed backlog for AT first though, which includes another 10 knights and a handful of titans for my War Griffons. I also have an idea for an AT-scale Baron suit kicking around that I want to mess with too. More on that in a bit. |

Fantastic work! Very hard to pick a specific thing that stands out, but the checkered pattern work is absolutely outstanding. |
