I finished the last four prone troopers I had from my first batch of New Israeli that I picked up some 10+ years ago. I'm still thinking on the basing.

During the GZG Christmas sale I picked up a few reinforcements, and while they technically weren't on it they were bench adjacent. So I built them all up, then based, primed, base coated and washed them all so they're ready to go when I come back to them.

I've been cleaning up and basing a bunch of GZG's 15mm New Israeli miniatures this week (yup, I bought more :D), as well as getting these a little closer to being finished (part of the great 2022 Painting Bench Clear Off). I'm having second thoughts on the basing scheme, so they're staying bare sand for the time being until I sort something out.

Being able to paint eight of these up a week is making them a little addictive. The next batch of 15mm New Israeli is done, I've got another 16 to go before I order more.

I finished up my Dwarf General and remaining Rune Priest characters for the Historicon tournament last weekend. The General is an unreleased figure that I converted to be holding a hammer instead of a stein. The banner/musician behind him on the right is unreleased as well.

One Rune Priest was a weapon swap while the other was unreleased. The banner here is unreleased as well. I need to track down the decals I did for these to truly finish them up. They're lost at the moment.

Finally, I've been distracted by these 15mm New Israeli from Ground Zero Games. I sanded down their integral bases and put them on washers.

Not a whole lot of painting this week, but I got some building done.

These are the Wolf light tanks all built and primed. Not sure why I bothered to take a picture, the "flat" gray primer is rather shiny and shows off none of the detail.

And these are my shiny GZG Jupiter tanks.

And another platoon of CH's infantry.

I finally got my magnetic adapters for my air force, so I spent some time getting my TBolts operational for a game on Wednesday. Once I'm done with the hounds I'll start work on these guys.

Finally, he's my progress on the hounds. I finished up the blue on lefty this week. I started painting the white on the head armor, but wasn't sure how much to paint white. The War Griffon's scheme has the entire head yellow, should I follow suite and do all white leaving none of the gunmetal details?

Got another group of eight Command Horizon infantry assembled and built this week. They're ready for basing and priming, hopefully I'll get to that this weekend.

These are T10 Wolf tanks from GZG all set to be based and primed.

I worked on these guys the majority of the week. The blue has its shade, base and first highlight coat down. I should be able to finish their other highlights this week.

The Command Horizon troops and their GZG APCs were finished this week, complete with a gloss/dullcote and the silfor tufts. Two more of these formations to go. :P

I also finished the Warlord's weapons and base, and named it Deus Malleus (God Hammer). After took this I realized I missed the Mechanicus symbol so I've still got to do that. I'd still like to but some heraldry on him, anyone know a company that prints custom white decals?

I started work on the Warhounds this week. The metal is done and one of them has had the base put down for the blue.

I got my Silfor grass tufts in this week. These are the early autumn, two tone tufts in 2-4mm. I think they work great for small bushes at this scale. I managed to finish up my other APCs this week and started on the infantry's skin.

Most of my time was spent on this guy. I'm still not sure how I'm going to paint the weapon casings (waffling between blue and black, thoughts?), the weapon's armor plating (blue or yellow) and the head (again blue or yellow). I think I'm going to go back and have the trim metal though, there just seems to be too much blue.

I finished building these guys this week too, they'll be getting some paint once I figure out how to paint the Warlord. :P

And these are the Silfor late autumn tufts I plan on using for my Subjugators. What do you guys think? Is it deserty/dry-landy enough for you guys?

Finally, I also manage to track down the metal mesh I saw awhile ago and made some camo netting with it. What do you guys think?

The Tech-marines are finally done and the Librarians are based. Getting these done took way too long, given their size. :P

I also finished my Battle Barge this week. This brought me over 8k worth of painted Marines, I'm now at 8300 points total. Only 600 left to go (3 THawks).

I also continued to mess around with my Command Horizon infantry and GZG APCs. I like how they are coming out. I've got some Silfor tufts on the way as well, I think I'm going to try them out on these guys before I use it on the Marines.

And finally, I started painting the Warlord. The metal needs a wash and another highlight, after that it's onto the plates.

I didn't manage to make it to last week's painting night due to the holiday but I still got a few things done throughout the week.

I finished the dry brushing, black detailing and wash for the Battle Barge. Now begins the touch-up and detail stages.

I also finished my Apothecary and Standard bearer. The Techmarines and Librarians I'm hoping to finish this week finally.

Also, here's the Command Horizon infantry I put together and primed two weeks ago that I never got a chance to take pictures of.

I tried a test scheme for my infantry and APC. It was pretty simple and I'm happy enough with it, what do you guys think? I'm still not impressed with woodland scenics stuff on bases, I think I'm finally going to break down and get some Silfor grass tufts.

Greetings from the Conch Republic! A small update this week as only some Wartraks and GZG APCs stole away with me on vacation (the latter were on a whim after seeing TacCommer Despot's excellent army of GZG vehicles). I've also been working on cleaning up some Command Horizon infantry but they're not based yet (as that will involve a bit of spackle yet). First up are my Wartraks. I'm going to be using the Heavy Flamer variants as Scorchas, and the other eight as Wartraks. They'll be based and yellowified this Monday when I get back, hopefully.

And here are some of the GZG APCs I brought down with me. The bases are my cheap alternative to litko bases. They're Evergreen Scale Models 1/4" Sidewalk (easier to score thanks to the pre-scored lines) and some sticky-backed magnetic sheeting I picked up at Michaels for $6.
