Yep, it is. -13 with the wind and the sun won't be up for a half hour or so. It's one of those mornings. I couldn't sleep, so I took a crack at that priest with the eviscerator. Unfortunately, the good ol Space Pope didn't turn out well, at least the blade of the eviscerator didn't. I tried a yellow and just wound up with too much paint on the blade. So, it's into the strip bucket for him. I'll clean him off and take another crack later on. Now, it's back to figuring out what I want to paint next.
In other news, I went over the Daemonhutners rumours from Blood of Kittens. They're somewhat interesting for me just for the fact that it might mean some heavy changes for my Witch Hunters army if the weird Inquisition units don't also wind up in the new Witch Hunters book (whenever that actually makes it out). Basically, I was going for a force of Inquisitors, Priests, Arco-Flagellants and Penitent Engines. I wound up grabbing some (Ok, quite a few) Sisters for Troops since I like the models. At any rate though, if the oddball Inquisition/Ecclesiastical units aren't repeated in the new Witch Hunters book, it looks as though I'll wind up with a second and third army rather than just a second army in terms of the Witch Hunters. Not a huge concern until a new Witch Hunters book comes out, but still, something to consider.

Death Cult Assassin
I finished my second Death Cult Assassin. The washes worked out well. The swords didn't. This model was one of a batch that I sprayed flat black before painting. I'm not sure I should have done that. Some of the flat texture made parts of the model a bit odd. I likely should have just put some Citadel Foundation straight onto the metal, but that's part of life.
I had a rather nice surprise when I gave Mike his Chaplain. He handed me a bag with a Land Raider Crusader/Redeemer kit and the Battlewagon Accessory sprue in it. Rather an early Christmas present from an old friend. So, thanks Mike.
I'm currently resisting the temptation to loot the shiny new Land Raider. It should be doable since I've a looted one I picked up from eBay which I've not finished yet and I think it might be a great home for a Deff Rolla........
At this point, I'm debating what to do next. I'm thinking either some Catachans for Nic, something Chaosy for Sean or something Orky for a change of pace. At this point though, I'm thinking a Witch Hunters Priest with an Eviscerator is probably going to win out since I've got his robe near done with spare paint from the assassin up top. I can likely have him done this week, which is rather tempting. I'm getting a wisdom tooth out on Friday and having my paint area clear of projects while I'm getting over that is kind of tempting.

Jump Pack Chaplain Finished
Well, this model officially has taken me longer to get a picture of than any other one. I fiddled around fixing imperfections on the model for about and hour before I decided that if I didn't take the picture, I'd wind up stripping the thing down and starting over. Since Mike's picking it up on Wednesday, that just wasn't going to happen.
At any rate, that's my Jump Pack Chaplain. It was a fun model to paint with lots of detail (and a corresponding number of nooks and crannies. I think I got the bling about right, but I need to spend more time on the armour and add some free hand to the parchment next time I do one of these guys.
I've decided to finish up a Death Cult Assassin next. I sort of started some coats on her with paint that I had left over from my Rhino.

Willie Nelson Charged With Possession
Um yeah. Call me crazy, but I kind of saw that one coming.
At any rate, on the painting front, my Multi-Melta Servitors.
My Order of the Sacred Rose Rhino (it'll be an Immolator too once I get that turret finished).
I think that's about the latest update. Hopefully, I'll have that Chaplain done tomorrow.
End of November
Well, November is heading out and I still can't seem to post regularly. At any rate, my batch of Multi-Melta Servitors are done and I'm nearly done the Jump Pack Chaplain for Mike.
Today I'm in an Online Learning class and the topic of blogs came up, which twigged me to post on mine.

02 October Tourney at the Gamer's Lair
Well, the bad news is that I didn't take my camera and I kind of regret that now.
The good news is that the tourney went pretty well.
I didn't have enough Witch Hunters painted to field an army and I didn't feel like breaking out my Orks (though in retrospect, I can't recall seeing an army there that would have had an easy time of dealing with them), so Sean helped me out with some models and a list. From there, I loaded up my templates and dice and went intending to just goof around.
We played through three Astronomicon scenarios. Each one was a little different, but they were definitely fun. The first one we did was a downed pilot theme and that mission just had a lot going on in it. The next two simply had easier rules to follow, so it all worked out.
The games themselves were just plain fun and each one was better than the last. I can definitely say that the players are what keeps me going back to the Gamer's Lair for tourneys. It's just a solid and fun group.
An interesting change this time in that the prizes were in the form of Gamer's Lair coupons instead of trophies, but nobody seemed to mind.

Indian Summer is Over.....I Think
Well, I seem to be running about a post per month. Busy fall I suppose. Anyway, I should have a few free weekends in October, so maybe I'll get more done.
I got my Inquisitor redone, though she may get a second trip to the strip bucket once I figure out a better way to get the paint off of the model. It's definitely lacking the clean edges, mostly due to accumulated paint in the crevasses of the model.
I got a Genestealer something done for Nic, though I need to do some additional inking on the plasma gun for contrast.
The final Possessed model is finished.
As is the Cryx Bloat Thrall I picked up last year.
In terms of stuff to work on right now, I've an Immolator on the go, which is proving interesting, but problematic as well, at least in terms of touching areas up. I'm working on the various guns at the moment to take a break from the hull. I still have to magnetize the weapons and finish the turrets. I'm holding off on the hull until next weekend when I pick up some brush on white primer.
