Seems fitting that I join the hordes of other people setting goals for 2018! I have lots of personal goals which have until now meant my hobby has taken a back seat. A career that used to be the reason I picked up a paintbrush to cope, has become a success and taken off for me, lots of challenges to come. My martial arts training and fitness has suffered, and I'm really keen to get to my first dan stripe on my black belt this year. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can balance these things against painting models! Hobby goals Josh, hobby. Commission works I'm currently working on Mortarion, and I'm hoping to get him finished for the end of January. Friend I'm painting him for is the same crazy man with all the titans I've previously painted, and he keeps threatening me with a Warlord. It would be crazy - but I'd love to be able to say I've painted one. One of Mortarion's roadies - very fun to paint He's also got...

Some more little updates, well actually a pretty big one! Legs section - done! Finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnell on this one. Lots of grease, muck and oil on there, when everythings done I'll give it a light dusting of graveyard earth too for a finish of dust. Also worked on the right hand "shoulder" The soot needs thinning onto the yellow yet. Note the reconstructed plastic whittled spikes to replace the original resin ones which snapped off almost immediatley. I've got a small list of to do now, thank god - the sides of the body, with some hefty detail, fans, grills, pipes, icons etc, but its all hidden - done one side but the other still to do. The gun servitors inside the weapon shoulders, the carapace metalwork and spikes, rear of the engines and the underside of the weapon mounts. Lots of little bits, considering how much I've already done! (and have still to do, with its sister warhound...)

Suggested names "stroppy and careless" I like. Sorry Brian!

More than that actually. I've been blogging really over at www.platoonbritannica.com for most of the year, but with my latest project, a comission for a friend of two flaming skulls legio warhound titans, a few people have been asking for a WIP thread that wasn't on that forum so they could have a look. Anyway! I'm not going to go back over the ENTIRE WIP, so I'll post up some of the update pics from the last two weeks, to give an idea. Im supposed to be going along to a midlands meet for platoon at the start of december/end of nov, really looking forward to it. Only downside is that were probably at GW warhammer world, and have a condition of citadel only models on the day! Apart from the above, Im painting a knight models release, a heresy model, a bane lords model and judge dredd models...time to find something from GW apart from titans I want to paint!
