Still chipping away at muh boy Ahzek.

Sometimes you're hanging out with your partner in the craft room. You're looking around for what to work on, and your eyes rest on it - one of your oldest treasures, the one that supercharged your descent into this silly hobby.

Both models are Ahzek Ahriman, Chief Librarian of the Thousand Sons Legion from Warhammer 40k. The first photo is his original pewter sculpt that first got me into Chaos Space Marines all those years ago. The second is his resculpt from the Wrath of Magnus era (late 7th ed)

(I should also mention, that was certainly not my original paint job on the pewter sculpt. A bud helped strip the paint, and I was able to give it a better try just a few years back)

Picked up some of the new(ish) speed paint markers to try for finishes, and immediately went to town on the Old Umbrey. I don’t see it replacing the brush by any means, but it’s admittedly a really fun way to get paint onto minis.

Given how well the overall game on Saturday went and how much fun I had with Mechanithralls, yeah. Master Necrosurgeon Sepsira jumped up on the painting priority list.  Her kit does a fantastic job of supporting those funky little dead guys, so I definitely foresee her getting a lot more table time.

Something kind of magical happened for me this last Saturday. I was playing a basic journeyman game of Warmachine against a bro and for the first time in ages, actually felt that special spark of joy playing the game again.

I ended up losing (said buddy plays a solid Lord Carver and I was learning a new list), but we both had a great time and I certainly can't put a price tag on rekindling an old flame.

This Slann has been sitting on the sidelines unfinished since the mini first came out. With the burst of energy on painting lizards lately, decided it was time they finally got wrapped up.

(Aside from texture paste to be added and dry brushed, calling this one table ready)

Finally reaching the point with the Mechanithralls where the end is in sight. Tonight’s plan is to add the green lighting effects to the remaining four in this unit, then perhaps to get another layer of varnish down before finally finishing the model with basing. (Naturally my least confident part of the process)

And then I’ll finally be done with one Mechanithrall unit…. With only five more to go.

Last few nights have been some great inspiration for getting painting done. (I blame dubbed Dragonball Z Kai being great background noise)

While I know I should be focusing on Warmachine for upcoming games, I can’t deny that occasional need to paint a beautifully designed GeeDub mini.

(Also just wrapped up the saiyan saga. Off to Namek we go!)
