And the fat man with the white beard…oh wait… that’s me!  Carry on!

What goodies did you get @tuffyears?  You can’t leave us in suspense and wonder at what shinies OTT sent you and whether Warren added some extra love as the box was packed!

I decided to finish work early tonight. I’m feeling burned out and st tunes low energy lately. So it will be good to finish at midnight instead of 8am.

 

ill take an updated pic of my finished Captain when I get home.

 

having a quality time day with my son at the mo but plan to get into the thread more a little later

Damn .. it’s so hot today that our national emergency services phonenumber (112)  is unavailable and a national alert was posted to my mobile phone to go to the nearest police or firestation in case of emergency … alternate phone numbers for police also posted as well as a Whatsapp and Twitter handle to use.

*ouch*

In other news … I’ve got yet an incoming package with unknown source. Only clue is ‘philbert’ as the hub.

Moar music

And a really classic set of tunes that fits the current heat wave :

And because this music is soo flockin’ cool here’s another version :

Never heard of Nicki Minaj and didn’t really enjoy that song but Britney and Pink are ok, i could live with them (literally and metaphorically 🙂 ).  My dad was a big fan of Western movies, so I have watched many of them in my time.  Aren’t they called Spagetti Westerns as they were filmed in Italy?

Who copied who?

That ladies and gentlemen is both (1) Half a set of Dark Imperium and (2) the Primaris half of Conquest Magazine*. I finished all the terrain recently. I will take some sort of break (do not know what) before kicking into the Death Guard equivalent (one half of the Dark Imperium set, the Death Guard half of Conquest Magazine and another half of Dark Imperium, as well as an extra squad of Plague Bearers).

 

It feels good!

 

Then again I do have some non-Primaris Minotaurs vehicles and stuff to do… I might just do basecoating for a while of various stuff and tip on to some fantasy character minis as a break. Any thoughts, tips or input?

 

 

*I did not paint one Ultramarine exclusive Captain/Lieutenant. I do not have an Ultramarine army, nor do the Minotaurs Chapter get along with them. Also I bought duplicates of some of the stuff for Conquest for the Primaris such as multiple Aggressor Squads.

@robert : wiki speaks truth in this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_Western

They were in fact not 100% Italian.

@mage if having good taste in movies is an offense then by all means …  😛
Almost any western featuring Clint Eastwood was great.

Your spacemarine army looks great.

Maybe take a break and paint some orks ?
