Dipped another 28 Iron Warriors last night.

Last night after I finally made it home from work I managed to finish the touch up work on the last 28 nearly finished Iron Warriors. For those following along at home, this means that the Garrison unit is finished, Pioneer squad Beta is finished, and Engineer Squad Beta needs to only have the two guys with Meltaguns painted to be ready for dip.

So, last night after the touch ups had time to dry, I took those 28 guys out and gave them the dip bath. They've been drying and sitting since nearly 6am this past morning when I got finished, and hopefully tomorrow they can all get their anti-shine spray to finish them off. I haven't done their hazard chevrons yet, I'll finish those when I get a chance, but for now we have a total of 61 power armor guys that are done paint wise. I only have to finish the bases on these 28 and then I'll be done.

Pictures, of my own special crappy variety come tomorrow as part of my Christmas present to myself.

Working on the next twenty.

Working on the next two squads. Pioneer Squad Beta and Engineer Squad Beta both have heads done, back packs done, and most of their bodies painted. Tomorrow night will be weapons, touch ups, and shoulders.

Followed by their dip bath. Maybe by the end of the week I'll have four fully complete squads.

Meet (counts as) Kharn








And as I said, I made a "Counts as" Kharn, and for now, while he also needs a bit of bling added to him, this is he.

Engineer Squad Alpha

Much like how the Pioneer Squad is complete, here is the first Engineer Squad. Needs work on the hazard chevrons as I said, and probable I'll end up putting transfers on their shoulders from the Bell of Lost Souls Iron Warrior Transfer Sheet, but that's a project for the future.



















Attached, meet the Engineer Squad.

Pioneer Squad Alpha

Allow me to present unto you, Pioneer Squad Alpha. Pioneer Squad Beta is still needing more paint and work, but they are also under construction. This squad however, other than having horribad hazard chevrons is done. The horribad chevrons will be fixed this coming week.

Here's the 20ish pictures of the Pioneer Squad.

Five squads...

I've managed to get five squads fully assembled. All with bolt pistols, power fists, and dual melta.

Add to that I now have two squads fully painted, fully based, and done except for their chevron patterns which I am unhappy with. Those will probably get a rework sooner rather than later.

This total does not include the 11 terminators I have fully completed and ready to go, nor does it include the one character model I scratched together and am happy to consider a "counts as" for Kharn.

Tomorrow night I plan to get the first few layers done on at least one more squad, and possibly get the first Rhino worked on.

Again however, I've gotta get the chevrons fixed. For now the two squads and all the rest are drying from their seal and basing, I WILL get pictures of them posted within 48 hours.

And unless I miss my guess we should have episode 3 of the BPR6s podcast recorded this coming Sunday.

Finished moving...

Finally finished moving to the new house. Got everything moves over, got the old place cleaned and the keys turned in. And most importantly, got the gaming cave/basement situated. I've got room for 4 full gaming tables in the basement along with furniture. And yes, my wife has agreed to allow me to do whatever I like with the basement, which makes me a very happy Duncan.

So, once the boxes are unboxed, and the minis are all set out, we should be good to go with pictures and everything else.

Wish me luck.

Moving tomorrow.

Moving starts tomorrow at around noon. YAY!

Other than that, more painting once the heavy moving is done, and the painting will be done in my wonderful and awesome gaming room (that has space for 4 tables, go me!)

See ya'll after moving!
