Into the foreseeable future I will be using a series of project updates to show my hobby progress. When I set about a project, I put time and effort into planning and almost always accomplish these hobby goals in stages. The project updates will often include the why and the how for my current projects. They will be linked together to tell a bit of a story as I move from one stage to another. The following are my current projects:
I always wanted a Tomb King army back in the day. Now I have one. But they still won’t sell me a damn Tomb Scorpion… anyway…
The First Legion project will involve alternating between working on my newly acquired Heresy Dark Angels army and on the 40k Dark Angel army that I have been adding to since the mid-90s.
The Iron Tenth project will detail the small collection I intended to ally with my Heresy Ultramarines, and combine into a Shattered Legion force, into a full scale Horus Heresy army of it’s own.
As Third Edition released, Kera decided she wanted to paint up her own Heresy army. She chose the 4th.
I have an ally detachment in the works so I can justify buying Horus, and to hang out with the Word Bearers.
I started Project Ultramar years ago, and got a significant army painted up for playing, and then promptly abandoned it. Here I will add the other elements I planned to the Land Raider Rush.
Once I planned to make an ally detachment and include the Raven Guard as part of a Shattered Legion army. Then I didn’t. And then I bought a box of marinse and started the Quoth the Raven project.
I painted an Ally detachment up, but, well, that wasn’t enough, so now I have an army to paint, and two Fulgrims.
Future Projects
Below is a selection of projects that are in the works but are lower on the priority scale currently. Coming Soon…
Another army that started as an ally detachment and part of a potential Shattered Legion army.
Representing the Shadow Crusade and the Ruinstorm, I will finish up the Word Bearers and set them up with some Allies: Deamons & Maniacs.
I painted up Knights many years ago, never quite finished them, and now I have more. And I want to update the paint scheme…
Titans ready to be built: A Warlord, a Reaver and a Warhound. Now I just need to get my butt in gear.
Representing the Shadow Crusade and the Ruinstorm, I will finish up the Word Bearers and set them up with some Allies: Deamons & Maniacs.
I have a Custodes army for 40k, but now it’s time to convert them to a 30k force, with a few additions and an Ally detachment of Sisters of Silence.
From indomitable Legion to bloated playthings of Nurgle, the Death Guard are an interesting army in both 30k and 40k, so we will paint both.
From Cursed City and the rest of the Blackstone Fortress expansions to Spacehulk, I will endeavor to finally paint my Games Workshop board games.
I have a painted collection of Free Folk already, but many remain unpainted, and maybe I will actually paint the Starks to fight them. And Kera’s Targaryen.
I bought a bunch of stuff on eBay for Terminator Genisys after watching a Youtube video, maybe I should actually put them all together so we can play.
We have so many Wasteland Warfare miniatures and the Factions box set. Kera needs to get painting and I will probably help a little.

Tyson
Obsessive and neurotic collector of little plastic men, novels about the same little plastic men and paints to make the little plastic men pretty. Married to Kera, who puts up with him and pretends that she doesn’t hear him speaking to the little plastic men in between making pew pew noises in the hobby room. Requires adult supervision. A menace to himself but rarely to others. More beard than man
