So this week has been... Interesting.

Hobby wise not that much has happened I did get some painting done while not much I'm on my way to having the Cryx Army complete so I can start working on other projects, after that I think I'm going to finish the Trygon right after the Cryx just because it's almost done, and then I have to decide what to do from there. I did get some painting done on all of the Terrain that I have from my commission. It was heavily delayed thanks to no airbrush for a week plus the guy that I'm doing it for isn't going to be around for a week or so thus I have extra time now, not that I ever had a time frame.

I did also get a game of 40k in. I got to play my Sisters of battle against Necrons in the "Kele" campaign that I am currently in. It was a planet strike mission and I was heavily fortified in a defensive position. I think the game was decided before we even began as I ended up with 650 more points to start the game with vs an army of only Warriors, Scarabs, and Tomb Spiders since thats how this phase of the "neutral" Necron assault starts. Was fun and a good time but I almost feel bad when a game is that heavily weighted.

As for OTHER things going on. The thing that has been taking all of my time for the past few days has been Starcraft 2 so that has been sucking my soul and honestly it probably will do that for quite some time since its an amazing game. Then there was some personal stuff that happened which sucks relating to jobs but whatever.

I will try to get some pictures of the Bane Thralls tonight and post those hell maybe I can get some painting in after that as well. On another note related to the Sisters army I due to the personal stuff I was unable to purchase the Battlefoam bag recently during the Golden Boota day so I still have no army transport for them but before that occurred I found someone selling 3 Penitent Engines, snagged those, and someone selling some FW Repressor Kits and got those for a nice little discount. So I am well on my way to getting the sisters moving on the battlefield.

Possible Color Schemes

New Scheme Needed!

So with the loss of my Sisters Army and after getting models to replace the old ones. Problem is I can't decide if I should resurrect the same colors or if I should do something new! I'm going to try do some work on one of those Army Painter programs online from Bolter and Chainsword.

On another note I finished up all of the objectives/strategic tokens that I was working on and started to finish the Bane Thralls that I have had sitting around. Below are some pictures that i took quickly with my cell. While not of good quality it gets the idea across.

Objective Markers

So this is just a quick update for what I have been able to work on slowly.

.

First we have the 2 already finished squads of Sisters of Battle then the Faith tokens I decided to make out of the rhino door icons. I need a few more of them so that when I run a larger game I can actually keep track of all of them but this should do for now.

I started work on the third squad just need to finish a few things with them and then glued down.

Finally, the other day I noticed I had this little box sitting around full of objective markers so I figured I would work on those. So I started putting them on bases after giving them a nice soak and scrub. I'm planning on tossing on some resin sand then painting them up.

A few pounds of metal

So over the past week or so I have been getting boxes in the mail from the trades that I mention previously. Two big trades and a few small things later and I spent $370 and have a ton of metal.

So with all those minis as you can see in the second picture I also ordered some Dragon Forge bases, which I need more of, and started to build models. I actually have been going all out on these each model goes through the the following steps.

Clip off the Tab
Clean mold Lines
Flatten Feet
Clean any other "junk"
Make sure there are no "sharp" edges
Drill Pin Holes and Bolter
Pin the Feet Backpack etc.
Clean the Base
Wash Everything in Soapy Water
Glue together

One down... Almost.

I just finished up 6 of the last 10 models I need to paint for my 1000 point Sisters of battle list and I was thinking about what to do next. As I stated before I have quite a few projects that I would like to get done. My main goal is to get as much plastic, and metal, as possible painted.

I cant decide what to do next though. I have basically two boxes of the Ravenwing to finish building and paint as well as a good portion of regular Dark Angels to finish as well. I have the Black Reach boxset of marines and Orks as well. About 500 points in Daemons half done. Oh and a million small bugs and plenty of Sisters left after what Ive already done.

Feel free to tell me what I should do! To make it easy here's a bullet list.

1. Orks
2. Dark Angels
3. Ravenwing
4. Daemons
5. Terrain
6. Nids

If no one says anything I will probably just pick whatever is closest to me when I go to grab some models. :-P

Ah well. Back to painting, need to get the 6 backpacks done to really call these 6 finished:-P

Fail

So I tried to post this earlier but it didn't work out so well. My computer decided to crash mid post. So although this wont be as nice. Here are the pictures I was meaning to post.

I'm mid painting 6 more and there almost done then I only have 4 left to paint before I'm done with the first 1000 point list.

As a whole so far.

As promised I took a few quick pictures of what I have done with my Sisters of Battle Army. My Argent Quietus as I decided to call them.

Also as said in the previous post I'm working on 3 Heavy Flamers and 2 Heavy Bolters right now. Actually trying a different setup to get the white a little nicer and faster.
