Okay so I have finally got off my behind and did some hobby after tidying up and stuff.

I’ve been doing mostly fantasy stuff for the last few months. Im still enjoying it and still want to do more Fantasy stuff be it AoS, Frostgrave, D&D or Middle Earth stuff. Probably more stuff I cant think of at the moment. Also Mordheim.

But I have a lot of sci fi stuff on the backburner too as well as some pseudo historical/modern stuff to tear into too. I dont want a lot painted for a portion of my games and nothing done for the other portion. So, I have gotten back into scifi with a little 40k. I think I will devote a month to one genre and a month to another.

for now it is one half of dark imperium AND conquest magaine: The Space Marine one. I am painting up as Minotaur Space Marines from the Badab War. Astute readers will no this came before the Ultima Founding and the advent of the Primaris marine. However I do already have a Minotaur army (not even basecoated) that these Primaris marines added on as a sort of mixed force. Growing pains eh? Right now I am getting all the Primaris stuff together and batch painting them. Then Ill return to the stumpy marines. Im doing the bronze/brass and other basecoats. So far I have done two layers of gold and will soft tone it down to the right dulled metal.

Im excited! Cold here though. Finishing more housework and then gonna firmly get into more of the painting groove.
