So regardless of whether or not the game is actually any good, it’s at least getting better and better 😉 Wait, you didn’t think we’d make it through this post without a mention of my current infatuation with Media molecule’s “Dreams”, did you? Seriously, though: Just a short heads-up, because I have been plonking away at my game, “Islands”, and making small tweaks and updates based on user feedback. Still some work left to be done, but I think I am on the right track! III. This reminds me that I’ll have to share my current World Eaters recipe one of these days - in case anyone’s interested, that is!Īnyway, this is what the model looks like right now: Having painted the little goblin pilot shown above, I didn’t want to lapse back into utter laziness again, and seeing how I already had the red paint pot before me, I got to work… I shared the conversion with you in a previous post: Oh, and speaking of World Eaters, I have finally started to paint the next member for my “Hateful Eight” project, the icon bearer based on one of the classic metal World Eaters from the 90s. I kept tweaking this model for what feels like ages, swapping in head after head, but now I think I may finally have found the right part to complete the conversion.What do you think? The angry expression in combination with the tubes and augmetic plugs seem just perfect for a World Eater, yet the lack of mutations led to me using it one a 30k model, rather than a 40k one.īut fear not, my 40k World Eaters were also able to claim a skull, so to speak: One of the slightly more elaborate, horned Corpsgrinder masks ended up on the rocket launcher wielding World Eater I converted a while ago: To my great regret, I have yet to figure out what to do with most of those lovely bitz - but thinking about that is already half of the fun, and also seems like the perfect activity for lazy summer afternoons in the sweltering heat…Īt least I have already started messing around with some of the stuff Augustus has sent me: Some of the heads from the Necromunda Corpsegrinder Cult seemed just perfect for some of my models, after all.įor instance, one of the bare Corpsegrinder faces seemed like the ideal piece to add some extra oomph to this 30k World Eater in Cataphractii armour I converted back when “Betrayal at Calth” was released: So all the best, and don’t think you’ll be safe from me ‘oop north 😉Īnother shout out must go to my buddy Augustus b’Raass who sent me a lovely bitz drop earlier this year - what a delight! I’d say it all makes for a nice little ensemble - and the piece should fit right in with all of the nifty Blood Bowl stuff in the showcases at Annie’s new place. The plinth was made from a piece of Zebrano wood I got from my uncle (who uses different types of wood to create his own knife handles). The model itself is a Blood Bowl event model Annie gave to me a few years ago, so it seemed like the perfect choice for this occasion. “Guten Flug” means “Have a good flight” in German, in case anyone was wondering (because y’know, that gobbo seems to be a pilot and everything…).
But that remains a problem for another day.įor now, I wanted to create something nice and topical for Annie to wish her well on her way, so I picked up a brush (for the first time in months, I might add), and made her this: The logistics will just be slightly more complicated. Under no circumstances does this mean, however, that we won’t be having any painting sessions in the future - quite the opposite, I hope. Which is great for her, but actually a massive catastrophe for my personal hobby productivity, because our joint painting and converting sessions were always a shining beacon of “finally getting stuff done”. All good things…Įarlier this month, Annie left the blasted plains of northwestern Jhermani for one of the big Hive Cities further north. And while I would love to blame current events, world politics or any other kind of external force, the more likely explanation is a mix of my eternal laziness and several distractions.īut once again, my good friend Annie provided me with the motivation to get back to the painting table - albeit for a different reason than usual… I. Oh my, it’s certainly time for another update! I must apologise for the lack of content over here: It seems like, unlike everybody else in the hobby scene, I didn’t use the Covid19-related downtime to paint 10,000 points of tabletop models - in fact, I haven’t even managed to paint more than a handful of models this year, to be honest.
