Since Insulationgate last October, at least one wall in every room of the house has needed a coat of paint.
And yeah it’s a bit depressing, due to disagreements between the insulation contractors, the landlord and the government, we decided to cut them all out and decorate ourselves.
It’s not that we couldn’t have just waited for them to sort it out, it’s more, we want to avoid massive disruption, so we are doing this ourselves at our own pace.
Megans room is the first to be done, we had to start with a mist coat, which was very runny.
That was done on the Monday, two coats overall.
The on Tuesday, we did three coats of Brilliant White, yeah it’s full, but it’s what the rest of the rooms are painted. When you rent it’s often easier to keep what the landlord had, so we don’t need to redecorate too much when we eventually move out.
It took three coats, but we got there in the end.
The next room getting done is mine and Lindsay’s bedroom and we may at the same time do the ceiling in my studio.
The studio is going to get a bit of a refurb at the same time, we are adding the 3D printer there, so taking the time to change a few things up, especially now that Lindsay works up there and I will never be using the gaming table again as a result.
So yeah that’s about it, gonna do Lindsay’s room next week, and that will be fun!
What I Am Modelling
I started off with the Von Ryan’s Leapers for the Tyranid’s Combat Patrol
All that’s needed for this one now is to finish off the Barbgaunts
Then I painted a Vindicator for the Inperial Fists
After that I started on Krondys, Son of Dracothion
I also painted up this Guardian Idol
And I have a box full of Stormcast stuff that’s never been touched, so I am thinking of painting them up as Hallowed Knights, I already have Gardus Steel Soul painted up.
So I used the Gamer Grass base I got from the UK Game Expo to paint up this test model, which I am rather happy with
I then painted a Hellbrute for the Chaos Soace Marines Combat Patrol
Followed by two units of Sporesplatta Fanatics for the Gloomspite Gitz
So what’s up next for me then?
- Deathwing Terminators x 5, Terminator Ancient, Bladeguard Lieutenant & Apothecary Biologis
- Chaos Havocs x 5
- Paragon Warsuits with Heavy Bolters x 3
- Spirit of Durthu
- Sisters of Silence x 10
- Blade Champion
- T’au Commander
- Escape From San Canciano Gangs x 8
- Dark Angels Assault Intercessors x 10
- Genestealers x 20 & Broodlord
What Tabletop Games I Am Playing
Played my last two league games, first against Neal and his Genestealer Cults
And then I played Leon and his T’au!
Lost both games, and right now I am wondering if I lost the games, or if I won the Wooden Spoon!
What Video Games I Am Playing
Not much this week, but I did get a single session of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag streamed!
What I Am Winning
Won a copy of Football Manager 2024 from a Twitter competition on Twitter, which is nice, especially with Euro 2024 going on!
What I Am Backing
The Colour Forge Signature Series was fully funded, so hopefully soon I will get a nice can of spray paint and some stickers and cards!
What I Am Spending
I went ahead and bought my first Legions Imperialis models that aren’t Titans or Aircraft and grabbed myself a pair of Solar Auxilia Baneblades
Decided to LI that I am gonna go heavy on the Auxilia with only small amounts of Marines in support
I got myself a bargain and bought Atari 50: The Anniversary Collection for Steam.
