Welcome back fellow hobbyists!  This week I actually take a look at my hobby area, cry a bit, then get to work.

So as you might have imagined...the hobby room took the brunt of the house move.  All my time and energy was spent elsewear...and coming back to this pile of mess was just disheartening.  Well no more!  Not only have I been sorting paints and getting everything ready, but I've also been selling off old armies (that i didn't paint) and boxes I didn't want anything to do with...which means more goodies soon!

Welcome #dreadtober enthusiasts! Sorry for the lack of updates.  Been having so real life stuff pop up (all good stuff!) as well as becoming addicted to metal gear solid V.  At least that was walkers in it, so it's a bit of an inspiration at the same time :)

Have to take a moment here and applaud Todd's awesome logo he created for the event.  It's been a driving force for the group of participants, and has rallied the cause, showing up all over the googles! Todd is DA MAN!  Before I get started, remember that this is just "my update" to dreadtober, and not the main dreadtober page.  Dreadtobers main page can be accessed via this button, or by clicking the awesome logo!

Welcome back friends and future patrons! :)  I'm slowly getting back into my hobby grove, so didn't quite make my normal wednesday post, but made it to thursday!  This week I actually painted some, and got to work on an old project I've been dragging my feet on.  Macathu's remaining wraiths/canoptek spyder.   I previously painted a group of them using my brush skills...this time Macathu asked if I could use the airbrush!

Though Macathu appeciates how I obsess over detail, he made sure to tell me "block in the colors with that glowy effect".  So I set out a plan to use the same purples, but over a zenithal style highlight...well, more like me adding interest with grey primer!

Hey guys!  Been another freezing week on the east coast.  Still can't prime the buildings.  Driving me a bit bonkers.  I find the GW primer has issues when it's below 60F, even if you preheat the can.  Considering the cost of the plastic figures these days, I tend to just hold off.

So please forgive the next few battle reports with plastic grey buildings.  It's mother natures fault. :)

Welcome all new readers!  If you haven't noticed, this is a blog about my warhammer 40k adventures, both in playing, painting, and building.  You can check out my articles and battle reports by going to the top menu link. (Greggles-Tabletop).

This week was all about getting things off my bench.

First I finally scrapped together enough pieces from the imperial sector kit my friend bought years ago, and built two massive buildings.  Ork Nob and Emp Champ for scale!

One of this will be used along side a tower to provide LOS blocking terrain on the board.  Plus they just look cool :).

Finally finished the Necron Night Scythe for Macathu!  Click the image for the article on how I painted it!  If you have trouble clicking the image because the flyer keeps making it's jink saves, click this link instead!

Painting the Necron Night Scythe!

Another productive Necron week!  Finished the destroyer lord.  He came out pretty awesome!

Short post this week!  Finished up Imotekh for Macathu as part of my training plan payment.  He turned out pretty good...but man do I hate finecast.

This was my first time painting a thin model made from finecast, and it was miserable.  The model feels like it is going to snap and fall apart at anytime.  Extremely brittle when painting, and I worry about it shattering into a million pieces if it falls.

You'll notice that his cloak is missing a section that used to stick out to the right.  Well it snapped off, and no amount of pinning or gluing would make it right again.  The material is just not durable enough.
