Converting and painting flying nuns/tempestus scions

Flying nuns are perfect for deep striking scions!

Creating and painting Astra Militarum Field Ordnance

Troublemaker Games has these wonderful heavy mortar/pipe organ rocket launcher things that are perfect as Field Ordnance for my nun army, counting as Bombast field guns and Malleus rocket launchers, respectively.

Golden Vault: Gnomeregan part 2

After a quick recap and some pointers to the new player, we resumed our battle. Some players were missing, with Sparky's precarious position facing 2 robo-dogs replaced by our new bard, Silverface. 

Golden Vault: Gnomeregan part 1

No, it's not actually called Gnomeregan. It was on our brain, though. A deep gnome city in the Underdark is overrun with killer robots and they need us to save it. We gathered some superficial info in Waterdeep, then started on our merry way. Right into a grell ambush. Good thing for my weapon of warning.

Golden Vault: Prison break part 2

I didn't write a part 1 because I missed part 1 of this adventure. The group was hired by a clan of dwarves to open their safe. Or, actually, to get the information on how to open the safe. Which we couldn't access. And the only person who can open the safe is inside a prison. But we don't actually have to break her out. Just get the intel. Oh, and by the way, the prison is the same one we saw in the D&D movie. But no Jonathan this time.

Painting Stark Bowmen

My third squad for ASOIAF, clad in the way I like to do fantasy miniatures in general: brown leathers and a colored surcoat. 

A Song of Ice and Fire: Free Folk vs Lannisters , 03.04.2024

We switched armies, in my first experiment since trying out the Lannisters for the first time. I built an infantry heavy horde, while the Lannisters brought up the Clegane brothers. 

Round 1 went by with no particular happenings, just maneuvering. Then round 2 started and I realized that I messed up the turn order and my outflanking spearwives were only coming in round 3. Desperate to stall, I sent forward the boar to tie down the crossbowmen. It was a heroic effort, and it died, but fully accomplished its goal.

April review and May goals

Everything was still going great, which is probably why I have caught a bad cold. Got to stop the hobby train, somehow.

This month, D&D was put on the backburner with sessions canceled left and right. I compensated by finishing The One Ring starter adventure, and then playing some 40k. I brought out the Word Bearers, and they did OK.

I also made a deal to commission paint in return for the second-hand airbrush I tried out last month. It... wasn't great, but it shows promise. Expect a box of ASOIAF minis to get done each month.

Painting is coming along nicely and well ahead of schedule. I finished my work-in-progress Astra Militarum miniatures, and started converting a bunch of chaos marines. Soon, I'll pick up the brush again to paint them up.

Well, as soon as I can breathe properly again.

Painting D&D displacer beasts

These miniatures are nice but terribly small. The WizKids variant is much better proportioned.

Painting D&D black panther and black bear

Trying to perfect my painting of black, here's two D&D board game pieces as a black panther and black bear.

Painting polar bears

These two DnD boardgame bears were the original polar bears that I experimented on with the color scheme, but I forgot to take photos. So follow the steps outlined here.
