In The Grim Darkness of the Future, I Do Whatever I Want (A few additions)

Almost forgot, I narrowly avoided the Orks on a trip to Alabama not long ago...

Close call, that...

Were they wearing their MAGA hats (Make America Green Again)?

I'm considering my own personal painting challenge to get out of my current slump and hopefully also motivate me to play some games!

You and I are moving along similar paths, though I'd say you have both a better sense of direction and are making better progress.

I like your choice of minis so far.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks. I've been considering it more and made some additions. My plan is to prep as many figures (and terrain?) as I can in October. That should also start me gaming sooner. I enjoy the "theater" of miniatures gaming, so I usually prefer to have everything painted before it goes on the table, but I can make some exceptions. Since it's a solo game, I don't think my opponent will object.

Here's where I am now. I added some more figures to the table.

I'm continuing to prep & prime as many figures as possible for Five Parsecs through the end of this month (October '23). Then I'll start my #FMFPF challenge.  But I also need to get some terrain on the table if I'm going to actually play! So I am both prepping and even painting some of that already.




Resin spinner-esque vehicle, I believe from Scotia-Grendel.




I'm thinking about harvesting some thistles and putting them on bases for alien flora.




I found bits for most of (3) RTB01 marines. The top green figure is the last remainder from my original 80's Mantis Warrior army. (Started painting them purple but switched when the Badab War article came out in White Dwarf.) Not sure where/when I acquired the other two raw blue marines. But alas, I am missing a beakie/beekee head! Maybe if I beg on social media some fortunate soul will have a spare one for me.




There may be a Thomas the Rogue Trader Deodorant Stick Grav Attack model in the future.

Whew! Scary... 

[BeneathALeadMountain]

I may well have a spare RTB01 beaky you can have if it would help? DM me with your address and I’ll start searching (95% confident I have one at least).

Should have mentioned, I'm in the US so before begging for RTB01 beaky heads, overseas shipping will probably be prohibitive.

I have started my own personal painting challenge, as mentioned previously. I will try to paint 5 Five Parsecs From Home factions in five months, along with a little terrain each month so I can get some games in as well! November is my first month and am ahead of schedule, I've already completed ten 'bots to use as a Soulless task force, painted to match two similar figures I painted a few years ago. Also painted some small its of terrain ("atmospheric harvesters and control module" made from various plastic packaging) and a couple of other bonus figures.







Two bonus figures....

Tiny alien. (Yes, I know it's a nurgling, but the orange paint makes it seem like it could be some other sort of alien nuisance. )



And this figure from Satyr Art Studio. I'm painting a mercenary company of the Satyr sisters (two test-paint figures in background) and figured this one would look good as a renegade from the company. I love the RT inspired gun!

[blacksoilbill]

That Satyr Arts figure looks stunning! Great work.

[LouieN]

Love the bots!

Nice progress!
