Putting a pin 📌in the 40K League
I’m gonna go ahead and put a pin in the 40K slow-grow league, and call my results an overall success. While I did not win the whole thing, I did achieve each of my personal goals: ✅ - More W’s than L’s ✅ - Top Aeldari Player * ✅ - Played every game 100% painted ✅ - Won Best Painted ** * caveat: By a mere 8 points, but as they say in the classic Fast & Furious films: “by an inch or a mile” 😅 ** caveat: There were only 3 fully painted armies outta some 40 people. 😔 While I didn’t hit the full 4K points worth of painted minis, I’m fine at just over 3,500 pts painted in just a couple of months. Time for a bit of a Warhammer break…
Aggradon Lancers AKA more Dinosaurs for my 3 year old
My son has an affinity for dinosaurs and we picked these up from hobbycraft of all places. Ive been working on them when he was been at nursery, he has been happy with my progress so far. My harshest critic.
What’s next?
As the 40K slow-growing league is nearing its end, I’ve started thinking of what to do next. I’ve already managed to paint almost 3,500 pts worth of Aeldari since the start. I’m projecting I should have 4,000 pts or more fully painted by the League’s end. I’ve basically been buying a Battletech box each visit to the shop and tossing it onto the pile! Been taking a bunch of online personality tests to determine which factions best fit my personality and I’ve gotten House Kurita, Clan Jade Falcon, and Wolf’s Dragoons as my merc faction. (I even took tests/quizzes to find my exact regiment in each too!) ** because I am THAT indecisive ** I’ve also settled on a 2nd 40K army as well, and am currently looking at AoS too… BUT I’m gonna need a bit of a break from Warhammer before starting those.

White Scars Bladeguard Veteran Conversion
Here is one of my converted, White Scars Bladeguard Veterans. Really happy with how it turned out, and I pushed myself when it comes to sculpting.

I used an airbrush for the cloth and smoke, and dry brushed the armor.

Not miniatures, but I printed out some props to try out some large scale painting and here are the WIPs

40K Slow-Grow League Tier 2
Well, results for the next tier (1k pts) are in. I started off pretty good in tier one, but hit a major slump in this tier. As expected, I completely fell off the board. They only post the top 5 per Race/Faction and top 10 overall. So there may be a chance I’m still in the running for “Top Aeldari Player” but I’m not sure. (Especially if my slump continues) I do still think I’m in the runnings for “Top Painted”, as so far, there is only one other painted army in the entire league. I played against them this tier (Necrons) and they look good! I think maybe my general style, basing, and use of bold colors is going to be to my advantage. We’ve now started Tier 3, which is 1250 pts. I’m well ahead of schedule, painting wise, as I’m currently sitting on 1750 pts worth of painted Aeldari.

Operation: Black Coach Rescue (Update 3)
After a week of delay, I'm back with another Black Coach rescue update! Currently I've got a base coat on almost everything and I've been pushing to complete the sarcophagus so I can glue it into the carriage. Feels a bit odd to be putting this much detail into a piece that is going to be mostly enclosed, but it's good practice. I managed to smooth over the messy green stuff with some sprue goo. First time using sprue goo and it was fantastic! Really glad to add that to my toolkit. Still needs quite a bit of work, but it's getting closer to being finished!

Jeremiah Kool WIP
Have since had to pull this guy off his plinth because he was off center. Working on darkening the purple shadows at the moment. Still have some work to do in his other leg and arm.

Operation: Black Coach Rescue (Update 2)
Current status of my rescue Black Coach. I've got everything primed, the replacement wheel has been printed, and I've got started with painting the vampire and coffin! The wheel printed rather well, but my green stuff sculpting was a bit lacking as you can see (Picture 2). Any suggestions on how I could smooth it out and make it seem more like the others? I wouldn't mind priming it again. Previous Update: thebaselair.com/posts/w60vtynuwg

Operation: Black Coach Rescue (Update 1)
I have successfully stripped of the majority of the paint on my rescue Black Coach! Afterwards, I spent quite a bit of time cleaning off the remaining mold lines, gap filling, gluing some damaged pieces, 3d printing out an appropriate sized base (and sanding that), and finally sculpting a replacement wheel in Blender. (Picture 2) While the 3d model of the wheel isn't an exact match, I'm hoping that some green stuff sculpting might help disguise it once I've got it printed. Wish me luck!

Operation: Black Coach Rescue
I am working on rescuing a Nighthaunt Black Coach that I got used ($10!!!!) . It was covered in thick primer, sprue clippings, and mold lines. Unfortunately one of the coach's front wheels and the base are missing so I'm going to have to figure that out soon. The photo above is where I'm currently at after a bath in isopropyl and some diligent mold line removing. Some of the primer is very thick, so it might need multiple soaks. I'm liking the posts feature!
