#Hobbystreak 509. I did pick up a paintbrush today, but only to basecoat the metal sections on the orl wartrakk.

#Hobbystreak 507 and 508. Two days of only doing quick bits of hobbying. Yesterday I primed another Stormcast model, today I have built the crew for the chaos chariot. I'm going to try and find a bit more time tomorrow to actually do some painting.

#Hobbystreak 506. It's been a busy day so all I got done for the hobby was priming the Stormcast Prosecutors in gold. I've got a busy week (or two) ahead so I will likely only be doing little bits to keep the hobbystreak going.

#Hobbystreak 503 - 505. Sat: Painted the leg armour on the chaos knight then played a romantic D&D adventure with my wife. Sun: Cleared and tidied up my hobby desk then built the Stormcast Prosecutors I found behind some other stuff. Mon: Played Pathfinder. Nearly killed a player character.

When I was painting the Death Guard army I had, I posted a completed photo only to realise I had missed a bit about a week later. 🫩

#Hobbystreak 502. Thought I had finished the green armour on one of the chaos knights, only to realise they have armour on the horses legs too. I'll finish that bit tomorrow.

#Hobbystreak 501. All the green basecoats on the chaos knights armour is done.

The film has already premiered and been shown at a couple of film festivals but there is no release date for the main theatrical or streaming release. Believe me I will be sharing it as soon as it is announced!

That Rogue Trooper game is my grail game. Rogue Trooper is probably my favourite 2000ad comic. Can't wait for the new movie!

#Hobbystreak 500! Today I primed the chaos knights and started painting the base coats on the green armour panels.

For my Pathfinder campaign I recently started, I'm aiming for 4 sessions as an average for level ups. They only just hit level 2 and overshot that schedule already (they really did dilly dally). Hopefully the next one will be a lot shorter.

The last TV show I watched crossed with the last game I played... Well, it would be interesting at least. Quake/Bluey.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It has sold! Thank you to everyone who shared it.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It's a bit of a long shot I know but if anyone is interested in a well painted Skaven army (at least in my humble opinion), I am selling this one. ebay.io/m/SI569b

#Hobbystreak 499. Put together the bases for the chaos knights. Starting to run low on skulls now though.

0132

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 498. Finished building the chaos knights. I just need to get the bases made up now and I can move on to priming.

#Hobbystreak 496 and 497. I attended the wedding of two of my close friends yesterday, but we're nerds so we still played games at the reception (Tinderblox, Fluxx, Dead Man's Chest and Zombie Dice). Today I was very tired so all I did was assemble one chaos knight from the new Spearhead delivery.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 495. Not much chance for hobby today. I did plan some stuff for Pathfinder though.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 494. Bloody kids! My 3 year old daughter decided to help me finish the dragon (that was already finished bar the wings) by painting a thick coat of Ulthuan Grey on it. So my hobby today was getting that off and redoing the basecoat on the purple scales.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 493. Very little time for hobby stuff today. Managed to squeeze in enough time to apply the Mantis Warrior Green to the gold details of Ionus Cryptborn.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 492. When it came to sitting down and doing some painting this evening, all I could bring myself to do was add the basecoats on Ionus Cryptborn himself.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 491. I have finished the main body of the dragon. Having said that, I may go back in and highlight the scales a bit more to give them more definition.

0251

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 490. I painted all of the chitin on the dragon. It was actually somewhat therapeutic.

0321

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 489. Back to work on Ionus Cryptborn and his dragon. I converted and painted a couple of zombies to go on the base. This one has been impaled while the other only has half a torso and head lying on the floor. The blood and gore will be added once the rest of the basing is done.

As a parent who has had to watch a LOT of Duggee over the years, thank you. It made me smile.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 488. The chaos warriors are finished. Including a freehanded banner for good measure (it's not brilliant but I am happy with it as practice). Just waiting for the next Spearhead delivery now.

0162

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 487. Continued with the chaos warriors again today. I really want to get these finished as soon as possible so I can move on to other things before the next Spearhead delivery arrives.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

I got a delivery today from Firestorm Games. I have finally invested in some proper fluorescent paints. These will be great fun to experiment with. I'm also going to need them for a painting competition.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 485 and 486. I've continued working on the chaos warriors. Unfortunately I can't seem to find my pot of Flayed One Flesh for the final highlights on the skin capes. I'll mix something similar for now and pick up a new pot next week.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

The Khazalite Holds leak is making me really want to just start on the combined dwarf army I have wanted to do for Age of Sigmar. The question is, do I sell some of my other armies to pay for it or just try and chip away at the project?

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 484. I did lots of prep for Pathfinder today. Unfortunately tomorrow's session has been cancelled but it does mean that I have less to do next weekend. I've also basecoated all of the cloaks on the chaos warriors.

030

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 483. I decided that I should probably finish an existing project before diving into yet another one. So I'm back at work on the chaos warriors. This time I've been working on the leather.

050

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 482. Painted some more base coats on the wartrakk using contrast paint today.

0141

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 480 and 481. Did some more prep for Pathfinder and got distracted from the chaos warriors by the new wartrakk, a knight relictor and the mini for the winter painting competition.

060

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 478 and 479. Yesterday I prepped and then ran a Pathfinder session. Today I worked on rewriting the army list for the Bolt Action Germans, did a little prep for next week's Pathfinder session and started painting the leather on the chaos warriors.

071

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 476 and 477. The green armour on the chaos warriors is done.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Thanks. My hands aren't too bad. As long as I don't have any muscle spasms that is. I do have to go back and correct quite often though. Bracing your wrists and making sure you are in a comfortable position are the key things to prevent hand tremors when painting.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

That's a really cool idea. If I had a spare of this guy I would absolutely be doing that.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

The Chaos Lord for the Slaves to Darkness Spearhead is finished. I've tried to theme it around Doom. Specifically the Marauder demon from Doom Eternal. I'm fairly happy with the result. #ageofsigmar #spearhead #doom #chaos

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 474 and 475. Green armour on the warriors has been started and the chaos lord himself is finished. Quite pleased with the results. It took some work deciding how to do the cloaks but it turns out the simplest technique was the best one.

091

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

#Hobbystreak 473. Finished the building the bases on the chaos warriors and got all of the new chaos models primed. I even managed to get the armour started on the chaos lord! Aiming for a Doom theme.

Conflict Mallet @conflictmallet.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

And now I have the idea to paint that Killteam as the Canaries from series 8.
