New terrain (Arcanaorbis)

I have continued to paint the Seaguard and I'am about to 90% finished so it takes some more time till showing some new units.

In the meantime I start build a new piece of terrain yout of some foam and cork. Its only a flat piece of maybe difficult terrain, but looks really cool even without some colors.

A mysterious machine of old days, the Arcanaorbis... 

The Arcanaorbis in all its beauty, ready for some paint.

Elven Swordmasters/Bladelords

Started to paint some of my Elves because of the new 3. Edition from AoS.
I finished a 10 men unit of Swordmasters of Hoeth which I will use as Bladelords for the Lumineth Realm-Lords.

Not the best pictures, but it will show some first impressions. I will make some better ones, when I have more space and better light.
Also started with the base colors on a unit of Seaguard/Spireguard, which should reinforce my Wardens later. But more from that maybe next time.

Overlord Class and Imperial Navy star fleet finished (BFG)

Finished the Overloard Class Battlecruiser. That's the last ship for the 750 points Imperial Navy start fleet.

++ Gothic Sector Fleet List, Segmentum Obscurus (Imperium) [750pts] ++

I started to make some blast markers. I printed the marker on paper, glued them to some cardboard. I also glued protective film on the front side to protect the printing.

The next ships are the Imperial Navy cruisers, which already have there base color and painted prows. Contrast paints work realy well on the ships. I used Warp Lightning for the imperial ones and Flesh Tearers Red for the chaos.

Remaining ships

New year, new models

It was pretty quiet around the tabletop hobby in the last few months of 2020. I planed to start with Man o' War, but has some problems with the proxy ships, so I'll put it off until later this year. 

40k is still in pause mode, because I still wait for the fist chaos codex release, so still "more" time for some projects beside that. I build and started priming the Orc Trukk for Gorkamorka, but I didn't get any more than that.

But I'm happy that I made some progress with BFG, for which I have got my hands on some printed remastered rules and also enough ships for the start of two fleets.

 

Imperial Navy fleet consisting of a Lunar Class Cruiser, a Dictator Class Cruiser, a Overlord Class Battlecruiser and a escort squadron with 3 Firestorm Class Frigates.

Chaos fleet consisting of a Slaughter Class Cruiser, a Devestation Class Cruiser, a Styx Class Heavy Cruiser and a escort squadron with 3 Idolator Class Raiders.

Both fleets are around 750 points, so the perfect combination for some test games. I have also primed both fleets and started so paint the imperial ships, but more from that hopeful in the not so far future.
