What a month!
Wow that was hard…
Due to rota escalations, de-escalations and a few minor cock-ups Der H has just finished 18 consecutive days working. (Brother Handro: “What’s my excuse!?”)
Hobby has occurred, but less than usual.
What have we been up to?
The ZM campaign progress continues, Brother Handro has pushed on with his Imperial Fists:
Whilst Der H has broken the back of the building for his Breacher Bonanza of Iron Warriors:
A little 3D printing later has a squad of Heavy Destroyers from the Mournival Events book magnetised to be regular terminators:
Zone Mortalis doors, a long coveted item, have also been sourced - HB-3D skills FTW:
The prints need tidying up, but they work!
Changes to Astartes
Previously, Der H made some 3D parts for the Retributors from the independent animation “Astartes”. For those that haven’t seen it, (Der H: “…and why not!”) please go and check it out. This is a great move toward GW embracing the fans who flesh out the world, and potentially a move away from “mobilise the legal team” (Brother Handro: “give em hell!”). Also that Iron Warrior looks awesome!
Since the change from Independent to being part of the Warhammer Communtiy page here Der H received a message on thingiverse asking for some new parts:
Do you have any other Retributors models from the Astartes shorts?
I'm planning a Retributors Kill Team/Combat Patrol squad and there are still a few parts that I can find for it. Like the Knife, Helmet variant, Backpack and the Storage Pack that the spikes that are stabbed into the orb are stored in.
Guess we’ll have to wait and see…
March 2018 - Pledges Complete
Behold! I FINALLY finished something!
Der H
Some time ago...I, Der H, pledged to build, prime and paint to completion my conversion of Lucius "Soulthief", "Fulgrim's Champion", "Blade of Aeons", "Scion of Chemos" or, as he who would become known, "the Eternal"....and so it has come to pass!
Brother Handro
Meanwhile, I, Brother Handro, pledged to paint 10 Slugga Boyz and a Nob....
'Focus...focus!'
I'm actually really pleased with how the Boyz turned out...less pleased with how many more I still have to knock out...
WIP - Lucius (aka by the Almighty Emperor, painting!?)
It’s finally happening, Der H is painting something!
Today saw a flourish of progress from both Brother Handro and I - more on Brother Handro’s progress another time!
Lucius is more than just purple!
An early wash saw me set me off slowly - needing to let washes dry has delayed many a project!
Other projects always need some paint too!
Not much in the way of WIP pictures - I often think models look much worse before they look better - but here we are with all colours blocked out, just waiting a few more details, highlights, and other finishing bits!
Stay tuned for the completion in the next week or so!!

Pledges - March 2018
[Brother Handro: ".........."]
[Der H: "...just don't say anything...."]
Der H
I, Der H, kinda/might/maybe/sort-of pledge to complete Lucius "the Eternal"......one model.....ONE!
Brother Handro
I, Brother Handro, do hereby pledge to paint 10 Slugga Boyz and a Nob. Probably Goffs. Simples!...
Aaaah, you can almost smell the potential...or maybe it's just the primer...
Brother Handro & Der H
Though for the day: "Reach out to embrace the glories that will come"
