Hails all,

Apologies for being two days late to the party. Had a crazy week after my cat escaped through a window at the Vet’s on the far side of town. Took us two and a half days of constant searching before we found him. I put up posts on the local Facebook groups and had multiple sightings around an area two miles from the vet, which we searched and every housing estate in between. I eventually found him about ten houses from the building he escaped from… No complaints though, just relieved to have him back.

Pledge this weekend is to get some work done on my Techpriest Dominus. He’s already had the yellows airbrushed on and some washes applied. His arms got a blast of Iron Hands Steel as well to give me a basecoat to work from and I’ve blacked in all the areas that will be metal on the main body as I don’t like painting metallic colours over yellow.

A shot of the progress on my army so far.

Questions:

1. Weather here has been really good but yesterday got a bit colder.

2. Nope, I suck at multitasking. I’d end up painting a burger and grilling a mini.

3. Assuming we’re not counting porn sites, just Netflix and Amazon Prime. I’ve considered Disney+ and I like the look of the new HBO one (not available here yet though) but considering I also get Spotify and a few other things, those charges can really start to stack up in a month.

Blackstone Fortress is top of my to-do list once I finish my Admech army. After painting a set colour palette for so long it’ll be nice to play with paint again and not worry about everything matching. Red plastic is horrible on the eyes, I had the same problems with Space Hulk. Those Celts look great.

Had the exact same issues with Army Painter sprays. Thankfully I only destroyed some test models but no amount of shaking could get a smooth finish. I use GW sprays for everything, need a good shake but no problems once they get that.

Love that base mate, I always say it but I really need to put more work into my basing.

@crazyredcoat

Have you tried just thinning with water? I generally only use medium if I’m trying to turn something into a wash or if I’m fighting with a particularly awkward airbrush mix.

Covid has been playing havoc with deliveries. I’m waiting on several deliveries for weeks now.

@evilstu

That army’s looking amazing, any close-up shots?

Finish with music…
