I’ve finished off my White Consuls Intercessor this week as well.  I edge highlighted the armour with Pure White, along with a few highlights on raised panels.  The gold trim was painted GW Retributor Armour, then washed with Gulliman Flash Contrast and the highlighted with Retributor Armour.  The body suit was painted Contract Black Templar as was the gun.  Shoulder trim was in P3 Iosan Green and the iconography is AP Voidshield Blue.  This is my best attempt at freehand work on the chapter icon, I’m not an artist by any stretch but I’m happy with my work.

Whoops missed a few weeks.

I picked up a Dweghom Warband via a friend of mine who works for a local store that sells second hand models, so more Hold Ballistae, Hold Thanes, plus another Hold Raegh and Tempered Steelshaper – none of which have been assembled.

Well I really haven’t updated this thread in a long time.

I’ve got a little behind on this and need to get more figures painted.  The Miniatures Purchased includes 48 X-Wing miniatures, these are obviously pre-paints so don’t need painting, but I haven’t counted them as having been painted as I haven’t done anything to them.  Hence my Golf score is a lot lower than it probably should be.

Not sure why I planned to post weekly on this project log I haven’t managed it, anyway the summer holidays are coming to an end so a return to normality is just round the corner.

I’ve spent the summer working on and off on the Wolves of Caliban, I have finally got round to get decals for the chapter icon and I have now put the icon on the shoulder of all the marines, there are a couple of vehicles still to be worked on.

I’ve also painted up my Cataphractii Terminators in Dark Angels heresey era colours – these will be part of the 1st Company of the Wolves of Caliban, planned long before GW made it popular to be Redeemed.

You can ready about this update here.

So much for producing a weekly project log, good intentions and all that.  This is why I stopped making New Year Resolutions.

Still here is 2023 in review from me.

Final Golf score sits at -29

Over the course of the year I have painted 176 miniatures and purchased 147.

Of those 110 of them were Clan Wars Phoenix, which means I haven’t got a lot done in the second half of the year.  The rest come down to three game systems, Conquest, Star Wars Legion and 40k.

I’ve put together only 72 miniatures this year, half of what I built in 2022, although the Clan Wars miniatures are mostly one piece metal, where as 2022 conisted of large amounts of Conquest plastics.

In terms of games I’ve only managed 18 this year, of which I’ve only won 6.  That figure was boosted by the only tournament I played in this year which was run by my good friend Paul.  This was an Ironman Conquest tournament, a fun concept where you turn up and play a different army each game, all the armies of an 8 man tournament were provided by Paul!  My end result of Played 3, Won 2 was satisfying.

Still that was 2023, now on to 2024.

That’s all for this project log folks!
