I haven’t been getting much done on the hobby front lately, because reasons, but this week the bug hit me in a big way, and I got some progress made on a handful of models I’ve had since right around the time 40k 8th edition launched last summer.

My long-neglected Dark Imperium Starter set finally got some attention. The last time I touched these guys was to attach some shoulder pad icons I got from Pop Goes the Monkey on Shapeways. This week I got the whole set primered and applied the red base to a few with an airbrush for testing. These two Intercessors are the first completed results from the set.

Blood Ravens Intercessors - the first of many

I also finished a single Custodian Guard model. Retributor Gold Spray quickly became my best friend as painting this model was incredibly quick and painless.

Ready to take out the trash.

And finally a single Poxwalker done as a test to see if I could find a method of painting these guys quickly and effectively. I’d say there is less than 90 minutes of work into this happy guy, so mission accomplished.

I also realized this week that I have a really good spot to set up my lightbox in a somewhat permanent location, so hopefully the next batch of pictures won’t include the stunning backdrop of my messy computer desk.
