Reply To: Hobby Weekender 14/09/18 – … but sometimes it is a little early!

OK, progress for today. managed to cut myself with a hobby knife (not deep) then punched a hole in the skin on my hand pulling a print job off the heatbed on the 3d printer. Sigh, feeling like a n00b today… 😛 In slightly better news:

Components form Spellcrow arrived. 2 packs of heads with berets and 2 packs of heads with goggles. Also a pack of running orc legs and a freebie pack of orc torsos which was very nice of them 🙂 Goggles will go on the drivers for my Long range Dakka Group and the berets and legs will go on some converted/kitbashed Kommandos as the online store is strangely sold out since the release of Kill Team (note: this is nature’s way of suggesting that this is a unit with good tabletop stats in game 😉 )

Also got my Salamander kill team assembled, primed and rattlecan zenithed. Still can’t find my pin vice to finish off the gun barrels so might need to buy another – hate not having the barrels drilled out… Given it was Salamanders I went for a flamer special weapon and a combi-flamer on the Sergeant.

Also assembled and primed a squadron of French Dragoons for Sharp Practice. I love this kit. It comes with mounted and dismounted Dragoons, a commander, options for musician and half a dozen casualty figures. Amazed at how much was crammed into this box 🙂 (note that I only assembled what I needed for the unti, there was still more on the sprues).

Finally saw a kickstarter for a 3d printed space station/outpost. wasn’t sure but thought I would give the freebie test piece a go and see how it looked. This was just a low res speedprint:

…So naturally now I am thinking of backing and doing a space hulk table…

OK, going to grab dinner then add some block colours to foot knights in front of the TV 🙂 Hope everyone is having a great day 🙂

@woldenspoons That looks like a small mountain of parts! Well done on getting it all assembled and primed, so you’re halfway there? Seriously, a couple of tubes of cheap poster paint and a cheap large flat brush and/or a hardware store rattlecan and you will be up to tabletop in no time. Of course you realise we will now demand progress pics 😉

@sundancer ah i see. Hope there is space for it all inside the piece. Or will you add a separate power generator nearby to house the components?
