I’m so jealous. I’ve never even been close to that

Junes free mini:
I’ve been working on my first custodes models. They are bigger than I expected. I should have used my knife better to clean them up though.

I frickin' love working with Retributor gold on Ultrasmurfs. Quite tempted to paint a few custodes just to use it more...

Been building my vertus praetors over the last couple nights and they pretty tough builds. Not on a whole, but there a couple parts, the spear and sword are tough ones to get in just the right position.
Very fun though!

Oh man, they look super detailed. Can't wait for you to post them painted.Been building my vertus praetors over the last couple nights and they pretty tough builds. Not on a whole, but there a couple parts, the spear and sword are tough ones to get in just the right position.

I played an OPR match with my complete army and a squad of "Blessed Sisters" bikers.
I had a blast, finally won my first match. I really need to get back to painting, cause all my figs were just primed and the Rhino was not yet fully assembled (painting the interior first). Didn't look nice compared to my pals Chaos army.

They are rather detailed. They will probably be a real stretch for my current skill level too which is nice.Oh man, they look super detailed. Can't wait for you to post them painted.

Congrats on the win! How long did it take and how close was it?

The templars got it figured out.

Listening to echos of eternity… holy crap is it depressing. It’s really showing the state of things. Great book.

I've finally made it to Heralds Of The Siege, so nearly at Terra myself now.

Used my hockey pool winnings to buy me some new stuff. Finally got my nuns with guns combat patrol.
But, it seems a bit odd to me. I bought one that has 26 minis, it has a rhino and a penitent engine but when I look online at the set it has 27 minis but no talk and no penitent engine. Is there two versions?

They release new versions every few years.

The new combat patrol for 10th edition was released in May.
It looks like you've bought the older version that was released with 9th edition.

That's the Battleforce, it's a separate thing. Both it and the combat patrol Trogdor bought are available on the site.
The combat patrol that included a rhino and a penitent engine is 3 or 4 years old, it's been replaced by the one without vehicles a couple of months ago I think?

Yeah sorry, read the article too fast.
It says Combat Patrol. Scroll further down the page.
Second line still stands though, combat patrol box got changed a couple of months back; not sure which one was the "best", value- or game-wise.

I see that now. Wonder if I should return it. I kinda like the tank and penitent though…
It was marked at the old prices and 20% off still. Hmmm

Depends how you want your army to be setup. I'd guess the points value is similar and all the minis are still legal.

I’m just going to keep it. Tanks are awesome.

Started painting my Preators last night. They are great fun. I tried to upload a pic of them so far but it’s too big I think?

I think I got the picture small enough. Lots to do still but these are really fun

Got some time in last night on the custodes. These are a super fun one for those interested. I have lots still to do on them but I got the second coat done and added some red. I’ll get more details added tonight or tomorrow.

Got to about 90% done tonight. Pretty fun and helping me learn new stuff.
I think it is my best work yet. I’m not overly skilled but I can definitely see my progress

Finally finished my Vertus Praetors. For from perfect but excellent fun that I highly recommend to anyone sitting on the fence with them. They look much darker in person. I need to work on getting power blades to look more… powerful. One thing I didn’t care for on them was the bases. The clear bases have a hole for the mount but the black ones don’t so you would need to cut and glue it in of drill a hole. I just used the clears as they looked nicer anyways imo.
The free one for July got shown too. Looks like a fun one to play around with.

Wash with a medium mixed with some akhelian green? Easy way to make blues pop more.

That’s a great idea. I have a pot of it here. I’ll try it on another one first
