I've collected enough for a 1K army, just need to get through and finish up the painting now. Slightly regretting choosing an army with so much trim as the first minis I'll paint, and even more so that I painted them in slightly ugly colours first and am now having to repaint the Rubricae... But I am excited to finally table them sometime in the future!

Painting my space wizard was a fun little distraction, but genestealers don't paint themselves.
I've got my infantry base coated so it's time to give them a good wash.
And I've got a little squat that Chris at Ontos Games gave me at BOYL for when I'm sick of batch painting cultists.

WIP Wednesday
Several different states of progress on the desk at the moment. From broody Necromunda bros to a giant Death Company Dread. I really don't know how to resist doing Tycho's feet as open-toe power sandles. I'll figure out the lore reason later.

Blood Angels Jump pack Chaplain
Mostly experimenting with my new photography set up. Still some work to be wrapped up on the base, but otherwise I'll call him finished. Putting the slotted base on top of a modern 32mm base gives enough bulk that I think he's ready to hit the table in 10th edition after until years waiting on the shelf, unpainted.

AdMech Color Test
I wanted to see if I could slap chop some white armor plating, so I grabbed a Makers Cult FDM print I have had laying around for a very long time. In this light the white plates and the silver gears look too similar, but I'm pleased with the white overall. The weathering was a blast, too!

The FLGS has a lot of junky terrain, and I did my part by picking out a few pieces to paint. This was an already assembled Imperial Bastion that had some random primer on it. I decided to give it some color with cheap craft paints.

I don't get into card games on my own, but I was invited to try out Space Hulk Death Angel.
It's a game that tries to translate the experience of Space Hulk into a more portable, and faster playing card game.
The game is entirely co-op, which I very much appreciated. It is frustrating for somebody to pull out a competitive board or card game and expect you to have fun while they stomp you as you are just trying to pick up the rules. The co-op nature of the game makes jumping in much smoother. All players take control of a portion of the space marine terminators sent aboard the hulk, while the genestealers are procedurally controlled.
Marines are limited by various action cards which are specific to each marine pair and the same card can not be played back to back. Using the marines, the goal is to move through four sections of the hulk to reach a random final goal. In my game's case it was to set targeting coordinates and fire some kind of weapon. The more turns I spent fine tuning adjustments, the higher chance of final success, which I thought was interesting.
The combat was brutal and fast, which did feel like regular Space Hulk. Combat could take wild swings. Swarms of genestealers could spawn and bear down on a seemingly doomed marine, but then a chained blast of psychic powers or a flurry of lightning claw special attacks could cut them down. The marines could be making steady progress with the situation under control until an event card scrambles their facings and leaves their carefully planned sector control open to genestealers.
It was fun and quick. If you travel and can't pack up a whole game of Space Hulk it does partially fill the niche.
