Tabletop Warhammer?

Squad green all done!
Nice! To be honest, I am tempted to put some pink or purple units in with the rest of them because I think if they are all white it may just look a little boring.
Also I've gone the lazy route and not added any of the optional decor on the battleline units.
Here's my one mostly finished noise marine lol.

Friend and I are picking up a new army each. I’m going back to my childhood roots (a worryingly long time ago) and getting Ultramarines, he’s going Tau potentially or Necron, hasn't decided yet. Not a huge change from me, as I have Custodes already but I like the Space Marine gameplay styles.
Got quite a few models on order, looking forward to getting stuck in again.

One of the (few) good things about marines either filthy loyalist ones or superior chaos, is that you have such a wide variety of units and play styles available to you.
Spent about 2-3h doing 3 coats of Ocean grey 2 in all my EC, including the mauler fiend.
Will probably go for the 2 coats of Ulthuan Grey after dinner but really struggle with that paint, I have the air version and still don't manage to get it to spray smooth even after adding thinner.
In other news, I'm dumb because what I thought were spare filters (technically they still are) I just realised what actually supposed to be in my mask from the get-go
@roman59 1:47 on this video re Tamiya glue
Spoiler, It does appear they are designed to be telescopic so you can pull them out further than they are initially.

Despite having great momentum yesterday, I've had to pause because the Ulthuan grey is just too unpredictable in my airbrush.
It gets clogged and speckles but then if I add more thinner like even a drop next minute it's runny. I don't get it. I've never had a paint this bad.
As I needed more glue, I've ordered the Vince ventrella white blue which I hope works. I do have a colour called ion blue but it looks too blue compared to Ulthuan. So I don't want to risk it.

Well that's my custom base all finished for Fulgrim, much better than the plain 130mm GW base that came in the kit and not even a tactical rock included in the box.
Ordered the base topper from a company in Spain and it took less than a week to arrive, added all the other bits and pieces that I already had here.
Now to finish the rest of him, as the wings are all done and ready to go.

Just got emailed to say my EC combat patrol will not be arriving for release because they haven't received their allocation. Oh well, give me more time to paint the current lot I guess. If I was desperate I could play a terrible list if I used my terminators but we'll see.
I'm playing on Sunday, going to use a Creations of Bile list, also prompted me to try finish painting him and the gimp.

Looks like Firestorm Games have it in stock
I'm just going to leave the order because I'm not really in a rush for it.
On a plus the pro acryl white blue works in my airbrush fine and I have now done the next stage on all of my remaining EC models
Sounds like a plan
This 5 stage white is a massive pain and time sink but the results are worth it. Will probs do the blue oil pin wash next before I move on to the details.

Managed to get my Infinity and GE paints sold now I can order the Space Wolves refresh without feeling guilty!!
I was going to paint the dead Space Marine for fabius biles gimp as a space wolf just for you but unfortunately the acolytes trousers are blue (yes I know I could have changed this) so I did him as an imperial fist instead.
I asked the shop I ordered the combat patrol from if they can just send me fulgrim instead and they've sent him out no extra charge, only £2 difference but still kind considering it's not their fault GW didn't send them. Not optimal for the game but then I reminded myself I go with rule of cool any way to a degree

There is something about the combination of stuff I'm using that makes the ammo by mig decal fix eat through my paint. You can see the marks on this infantry shoulder.
Obviously it happened in a real big way on my land raider. I don't understand why it's doing it.

I always thought the best way with decals is to gloss varnish the area first, as it gives a much smoother surface to conform to. It would hopefully protect it too.
Think I saw this in the Forge World book about 20 years ago, with a lot of techniques borrowed from scale modelling. Wish I still had that book

Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm going to confirm it soon because I'm going to do one with a different make of varnish and also satin and see.
So far the gloss varnish is the only difference I can think of out of any of my other models that never had the problem.
I always use Micro Set and Micro Sol to put decals on, never had that problem at all straight onto paint or varnish.
Only ever happened with this AK Gloss. Be interesting to see if it happens with the Vallejo one when I get round to it.
Been flat out trying to sort out my hobby room. Bought some sort of fdm printer enclosure and a vat heater to put my 3d printer out in one of the sheds. Need to price new flooring and skirts. Then off to ikea to buy some billys. Even if I cant get my models painted it would be awesome if i could get a load built and zenithal highlighted and on display along with some of my books.
Be lucky if I get it done before summer ends
