Excuse me sir but the Yeoman◊ would like a word with you.

Also jesus is that superheavy stealth suit? Because that's what it looks like.

SO MUCH MISSILE

Nice plastic suit Tauites. Can't wait to vaporize it with las fire.

Jen: you a fellow Guardsman/woman?

If so, praise the Guard.

Very much so. Praise the Emperor.

Fuck yeah. I can ignore the Legion bit then, lol.

Anyways, I have an unbuilt Russ kit, thinking of making it an Exterminator. One, because I have enough Leman Russ MB Ts, and two... autocannons.

My wife got me a Rhino out of the blue yesterday.

I'm putting my Centurions on hold and knocking out the two Terminator Librarians I have so I can have that formation ready for the league. I'm about halfway done with the first and stuck on whether or not to paint the right shoulder green or black...the shoulder with the Crux is green. For the second, I'm going to experiment with using Green Stuff to make lightning to attach to the optional free hand.

Cool, good luck with the Librarians.

On a different note, because I am bored I have decided that every Thursday I will post something random about 2nd Edition 40K. First on 2nd Edition Thursday is a piece of eccentric Ork Wargear:

Squig Attack Arm ~ 5 Points: The squig attack arm is a special bionic replacement which incorporates a cage containing a dangerous gnasher squig. In hand-to-hand combat the Ork automatically unleashes the squig as its opponent closes in so resolve the attack during the hand-to-hand combat phase before any attack dice are rolled. The Ork’s opponent suffers an automatic Strength 5 attack with no saving throw modifier from the squig, after which the creature either crawls off to digest the chunk of flesh it’s bitten off or is killed by the opponent. This means the squig attack arm may only be used once per game.

So you're going to make your Marines hide in METAL BAWKSES?

Bolter & Chainsword announced an Imperial Fists painting drive the same day one of my mates and I resolved to do more 40K stuff. Serendipitous!

I shall be painting three Honour Guard by the end of October.

Something I painted recently, a Keeper of Secrets

Decided to take up a suggestion from a 40k facebook group and use acetone-free nail polish remover to strip the paint from some plastic minis and holy crap is it effective, without ruining the mini.

I think something might be wrong with me.

I am seriously considering the possibility that The Emperor is actually M. Bison.

naaah, clearly the emperor is Dr.doom after he conquer over the world(OF COURSE!!)

Yup, that and Simple Green (and, I suppose, brake fluid) are the best paint removers for plastics.

Mentioning M. Bison reminded me of Chiyohiko Matsuda, an original main character for a Kantai Collection comic on Pixiv who took the role of the shipgirls' Admiral, looked like the lost twin brother of M. Bison (Vega in Japan) and thus scares everyone easily despite being a Gentle Giant at heart... who also happens to be a Stern Teacher whose brand of training is quite hellish (but works quite well, too), and truly fearsome on the rare occasion that he's pissed off.

This consequentially reminded me of the Ken'oh Admiral. Which consequentially made me wonder about a GEoM Admiral.

Thoughts?

Disruptor: I used to use Simple Green, but I had to soak the minis for a couple days. In the nail polish remover it's like a few minutes and the paint pretty much peels off.

Fair enough. They're all decent options, really.

Sebastian, that Keeper looks good. Gotta say, though, I like Forge World's Keeper a lot more.

Thanks. I do like the Forge World Keeper of Secrets as well and was seriously considering getting one but I have decided to save up for a holiday instead. Of course I do like the old metal Keeper the best.◊

Finished the first Librarian. Gonna do a different color scheme on the next one (green cloak w/black interior) and not put a glaze on the armor after doing the highlighting.

You know, I think my favourite Chaos-related fluff is the Abyssal Crusade. I mean, the descriptions of all the daemon worlds the Space Marines land on basically hammers home how utterly fucked up Chaos is beyond the regular "daemons, spikes, and blood for the blood god!".

Nice work on the cloak!

One of mine too!
