The Lancer is built, or at least all the sub-assemblies and parts are ready for undercoating. I'll get that done this week, start on the bits I'm doing (like the pilot), and airbrush the shoulders and leg armour. The rest is going to be up to youngest, who has never painted before. So lots of guidance.

A green, self-healing cutting mat sat on a desk with various modelling tools around it, such as tweezers and ultra-thin plastic adhesive. Various parts from a large mech model are sat on the mat, such as huge shoulder pauldrons and some banners/flags that hang from chains. They are all unpainted.
The main body of a model of a Cerastus Knight Lancer by Games Workshop. Its torso and carapace are sat on its legs, and it stands on a wooden desk next to a tea mug, some pots of paint water (mmmm, tasty paint water!), and a green cutting mat and tools. It is unpainted, ready for undercoating.
A piece of corrugated cardboard sat on a printer in front of a book case. Behind it is a rattle can of matte varnish and an old USB joystick. On it are all manner of unpainted parts from a model Cerastus Knight Lancer, such as the shield arm, ion shield, armour plates, pilot and cockpit parts, and heraldic shield.

Chapter's Due is... a satisfying conclusion to the series. It isnt the best book in the Uriel Ventris Chronicles. Black Sun is great and Courage and Honor and Nightbringer are actually all better books. But, it does tie up most of its loose ends. It also gives you a broader perspective on the Chapter because it has Calgar and Sicarius as PoV characters but also thats kinda why I like it least. Its more deus machina than the others. I like when #warhammer #books are about making sacrifices. #40k

Here goes the third batch of my genestealers from the 2014 Space Hulk box. I almost gave up painting those three dude, having a forced stop in the hobby. Thankfully, i past over it and slowly try to retake an habbit to paint. One brushstoke at a time.

Someone once asked why i had painted them with such a colorful scheme instead of the usual white-ish and purple one in the box.

Well. First of all, i don't really like the classic colour scheme, the one from the Leviathan Hive. And by lore, space hulks are very very old space shipwrecks that xenos try to infest to go somewhere else, off the radar and without effort, letting warp-breach and drift do their thing. So for tyranids of a recent invasion, i feel it odd.

Second, i do really like the colour scheme of the Behemoth fleet, the very first tyranid invasion with red skin and dark-blue chitin. It also makes more sense for them to infest a space-hulk rather than Leviathan offspring, since they where here more or less 250 years before. A lot more time and opportunity to sneak into a wreck.

Finally, i did a kind of pinkish purple skin rather than a red one for aesthetic reasons. Blood angels are full red already so it would have been a bit redundant. And i don't really like to paint red much.

Why did i start painting those damn marines...

Assembling and magnetising a big leggy boi, because (a) I'm a good dad and (b) I'm terrible at managing my own time.

A Cerastus Knight Lancer to go with my youngest's Knight and Armigers. I'm thinking about wiring up the energy shield with a blue LED nood as well. Because, why not?

The legs of a very tall, plastic model mech, stood on a green cutting mat on a desk. There are tools like a knife and glue also on the desk, and an empty tea mug.

They thought we were gonna have racism against (sentient, emotional) AI because humans could never accept a mere artificial machine as their equal.

Instead, in the real world today it's humans mystifying and humanising decidedly non-sentient robots and treating them as trustworthy gods because they don't understand technology and therefore default to anthropomorphisation.

In a way, Tech Priests from #Warhammer40k are the most accurate prediction!

I think the funniest thing about the Ultramarine death vow thing is that it comes from a place of "if you had followed the codex you would have died on that mission. You survived ergo you are exiled." And the response of "How can I make it right?" Gets the answer "I have a mission that is impossible according to the codex." #warhammer #40k

Printing something *way* too large to (a) use in a sensible #warhammer #40k game and (b) find storage space for.

Fun though, and this will be the crowning glory of my Tyranid army.

It’s mostly the “Xenarid King” model from Stationforge, with a few parts (like the head and guns) from the “Xenarid Queen”, scaled to 85% to match the official Heirophant model size.
