As I mentioned a little while back, I recently had a week and half of work and not much to fill it with, so I cracked on with some hobby. I managed to get quite a bit done actually, to the point where I'm finally starting to feel really good about the way my backlog is shrinking. I'm also still managing to keep to my pledge not to buy any new models in for as long as possible in 2023, so there's huge chunks being carved into my 'To Do' pile. There's still a long way to go, but it's definitely heading in the right direction.
Anyway, rather than doing a lengthy catch up post with everything I've been doing, I figured I'd share with you what I'm working on right now, then try to actually keep up with blogging.
So I finally managed go get these guys done:
I started my 30k Emperor's Children back when the Age of Darkness box first launched, then got distracted after moved flat in the summer. Its good to finally go back and get these dudes done. This is one of those projects that I've always wanted to do, but never had the time or drive until now, so it feels excellent to be making a proper start on them.
I've got some Cataphractii Terminators on my desk atm to go with them:
These are starting to take shape nicely, although I'll admit they're taking far longer than I expected. That trim is a killer!
Although I'm looking forward to seeing the end result, its turning into one hell of a slog. I'm thinking of taking a bit of a break once the first five are done before doing the rest of the squad, but I'll have to see. I'm a little concerned though that if I leave it, they'll never get done.
That's a problem for the future though. For now, I'm just happy I finally got a blog post out!
Until next time happy Hobbying!
Looking good! I really like the different colours on the armour. And I do agree, those Cataphractii and the MK III really take ages with the trim and all of those rivets!
ReplyDeleteI suppose I brought it on myself by going for that wild variety of colours!
DeleteI will be glab when they're done though.
