Making good progress on my Zerg. Finished up my Hydralisks and a Ravager today, and got some work done on Swarmlings. 18 Zerglings, 3 Viles, a Queen, and 3 more Ravagers to go… I really need to print a proper case for this army.

Started working on tokens and things for Gundam Assemble. Up first is a Garrison token. The game comes with flat cardboard chits for them, but treats them like a model for LOS and movement, so this will be a nice improvement.

My shop got its Gundam Assemble demo kits in today. Did a learning game with my wife and then a demo with my coworker. Enjoyable, simple, and generally positive opinions. Main issues are the terrain and card quality.

Worked on the Omega Worm and Hydralisks today, should be able to finish them up tomorrow. I’ve got a bunch of Zerglings to do after this, but it’s looking like I’ll have a fully painted 2k army pretty soon.

While I had ideas for all three variants, I’m really glad the version I was given is the Axe. My plan is to make this Dozzle’s Zaku II.

Started painting my initial squad of roaches, and scheduled a 2k game on Saturday.. and realized I needed to get one more squad to get there… so now I’ve got a squad of corpsers to go with my regular ones. Buying a third box when we get a restock so I can go ahead and have all three variants.

I’m pissed off. Drove an hour to an a game shop for a Re:Zero release event only to get told that they decided to reschedule it to tomorrow, and didn’t feel the need to tell anyone. They had four sign ups, me and my ride buddy were two of them and another was one of my shops regulars.

I’ve had this rack shelf in a box for the last like 5 months, finally put the effort in today to get it assembled. I’m exhausted and my office is a mess, but at least I’ve got some room to get some more machines setup now.

Mostly knocked out the new Necromunda Goliaths for my coworker. Quick and dirty style so they’re good enough for play. There’s two more in forgot to base coat that I’ll do tomorrowish, but they should go quick.

For the most part not too bad, The fore claws are two parts lol. I got the set built in about an hour while being distracted by customers a couple of times. The kill team box built either the KT (which is also three HQs) or a unit of three dudes that can be doubled up… So 7 boxes to max out lol

DINOSAURS! I’ve wanted Exodites since I first learned of them like 20+ years ago, and now they finally exist as proper models! Looking forward to building more and getting some paint on them.

Making progress on Captain Sargotta, once she’s done I’ll have one fully painted unit for my Red Corsairs! I also did the Painboy from the Armageddon box. Switching back and forth between my Corsairs and my boss’ Orks had made things much more enjoyable.
