Good day to you all. In preparation for failing all expectations, I was fortunate enough to get a friend into the hobby so if nothing else I should be able to get some additional painting done that I otherwise would not.
I will try and sort out all the points later at a time where it is convenient when a 2 year old isn’t trying to steal my attention constantly.
Priority one: Finish painting my 1000 points ogre kingdoms army.
Priority one-point-oh: Start painting my new chaos dwarf minis that are to be picked up shortly and destroy any sense of organization and planning to attack the grey pile.
I put about an hour and half into the two weapons teams and should be able to finish them up tonight or tomorrow, to start the year off right.

Well… Something arrived.
+49 to the pile of unwashed masses who need to be touched up. Courtesy of the Darklands Printing via Khamdrim who was exceptionally helpful in getting this together.

Some progress, primed with Liquitex professional grade artist black gesso.
Really like this stuff as you can be sloppy in application and it’ll shrink to the model while adding “tooth” for good paint adhesion.
Looking forward to painting these dudes and I think I’ll start with the wolf riders.

Almost done with these guys, wanted to give a status update for all those who are interested.
Got a wet palette on the way and to my own chagrin I purchased some textures Vallejo paint to do simple basing

Alright, just have to do clean up and final highlights on the banner, and some color to the mud!

Alright boys, I am considering this unit complete and subtracting 5 from the total score of models.
Although there’s actually a inking and varnish I need to do, my buddy currently has my inks and I’ll get them a few days later.
Next up is a unit of blunderbusses.
Heres the direction they’re going. Add more flesh tone to add the necessary layers but spent must of the evening churching up the standard.

Small update, they’re getting close to being ready for inking and highlights. Definitely need to hit the faces

A little splash update of something different. Older models that were varnished, the paint scheme is basically identical to what I am working now for the boys.
Also I swear, this isn’t a Chorf blog masquerading as a BaTG!

Ignore the blunderbuss unit in the back. They do not exist.
Before you is a curing texture paint surrounding my Kdaai fireborn. Made from plastic blood letters and green stuff.
These were apart of my original project over a decade ago.

Well… These arrived and they will be Storm Vermin. +24 (+26 potentially just need to source two sets of legs)

Nearing the completion of this unit which once done I will go back and finish all the mud bases for the other models I recently based…
In other news I got a shipment of old world adapters and bases for my Skaven… Just need more magnets to set everything up but before I make that leap I’m going to get a better storage system than tackle boxes to store my minis and paints in.

I present to you my blunderbuss unit that’s basically complete (Musician’s hobgoblin needs to be finished). Their bases are drying and I’ll finish the rest of it soon.
Another -12 off the BATG score. Going down from +55 to 43
To be honest I was challenged by the Zonk model’s small faces and additional tiny details that proved to be both a bitter sweet experience.
Here they are on patrol on my door searching for slaves.

Complete! Minus the musician and the final dry brush for the base!

Just nearly complete with basing here. Things needed to dry fully before varnish. Went for a red clay on the chorfs to make the hobgoblins stand out more.

Unveiling my fire glaives. Dropped one this morning from about a meter and a half or at my chest level. The poor bastard fell to the carpet and the gun and hand sheared off.
With the clean break and surface area available I glued and now I can’t tell which one it is.
Doing the same scheme as my blunderbusses above.

Ended up getting to this stopping point before I got sidetracked with cleaning up my models and storage space for them. Bought a steel chinesium tool box to throw my Chorfs and Ogres in, which works perfectly for my magnetized stuff.
Now, I bought a lot of 5x3mm magnets and they’re too tall for being used under the bases I have by just a smidge. 5x2.5mm would have been perfect.
Magnetized several adapter trays for ToW but I’m concerned I got the polarities all weird in them, but ultimately it doesn’t matter as they’re all facing same direction. Surprisingly they stick to doors and walls through the magnets in the plastic I had glued.
And this arrived.
And 20 older grey plastic blorcs from 2000s era. So now I’m +21 more to the pile of shame.
In-laws are coming tomorrow so I will probably be on a break until they depart. They’ll be here for about 10 days.
