June 28th 2023: Winter Lions

Did some more work on assembling the Leviathan models - this time, Richard II's men with the stag helmets and a Terminator sergeant.

End of Spring Miniature Golf

This season of Miniature Golf ends in less than four hours, and I am not going to buy anything or finish anything in the meantime! I have finished with a score of 0 - I painted exactly the number of models I bought!

June 20th 2023: The Black Prince

Started work on the next Dreadnought - the Black Prince! Converting him up to carry a cool sword and shield!

June 17th 2023: Winter Lions Dreadnought

I took delivery of my two Brutalis Dreadnoughts and started work on one of them; Simon De Montfort. Taking inspiration from the 5th and 6th scions of that name (the 6th was the one involved with the Plantagenet succession and civil wars) he is being brutally tortured as penance for his sins during the crusades and his disregard for mortal life . . .

Some more work on the Blood Angels Assault Marines. They have reached the point where individual detailing is the order of the day ... together with the backpacks!

I was weak and probably foolish and bought the final two Dreadnoughts for the Winter Lions.. mostly because I had the golf score to spare, even if I don't really have the money!

June 11th to 14th 2023: Blood Angels

Continued work on the Assault Marines - slow going because I hate painting the green harnesses, but the basecoats are done! No pictures either.

June 10th 2023: Blood Angels Assault Marines

Some work on these models today - all looking interesting and working well. I also passed the gifted model that arrived yesterday off to someone else, so I am technically back at -2 for golf for the season. Then again, I haven't got rid of it yet ... and I am not counting the models I bought today as part of "Leviathan" against my score until they arrive!

June 7th to 9th: Angels!


Took delivery of an Azrael model to be converted into Richard the Lionheart. A few small changes and some 3d printed pieces and he is sufficiently different. Basic painting is started.

Also pulled out the last models for the Blood Angels company and got them all primed and red base on them (some have the red shading, others do not - will need to bring them all up to the same point). Right now, every single model for the company has at least some paint on it!

Also took delivery of a special limited edition model I got for making a charitable contribution - I don't much like it, but it is a model and so counts against the score. I was previously at -3 so I am now at -1 ... still in good territory for the season which ends in a couple of weeks!

June 5th & 6th 2023: Blood Angels

I finished off the Tactical Marines except for the writing on the bases and their eye lenses - so they are technically not finished, but can be done very quickly once Leviathan arrives!

I also started experimenting with some of the Speedpaint Metallics on a unit of veterans I'd made - really nice paints!

June 1st to 4th 2023: Blood Angels Tactical Marines

#PlatoonInJune starts in earnest! The models are getting close to completion ... although I will hold off on the actual, final, completion so my golf score is decent for the Summer season!
