"Don't Talk To Me Or My Son Ever Again"

"Don't talk to me or my son ever again"

I ran into a creative wall painting my player character for Lancer, so I decided to take a break and revisit gunpla. I love the Zaku, and I'm glad I did research on all the different available kits before buying a couple. This is the High Grade kit for Chars Zaku ii from the Origin movies, which has a much more detailed chassis than previous High Grades.

Oh, I also 3D printed a new eye ring, since the one you get is just flat and you slap a sticker on it, lame.

I have the Real Grade Chars Zaku ii as well, which I'll be painting in his colors, so for this one I went with the classic green. This was fun and relaxing, and much easier than my first attempt at gunpla

I went ahead and did up the heat hawk as well for some posing fun. The kit also comes with the bazooka and the huge anti ship rifle, but I intended this to be a pretty bog standard grunt so I'm saving the extra kit for Chars

More DnD slapchop, this time a stoic Hobgoblin leader

Ork Warboss completed!

I think I've only got 2 Christmas projects left, let's see if I finish in time

Alright I implied Maleceptors next but the Neurolictor called to me. What do we think of Hive Fleet Callinectes for the name?

This one's the actual GW model, since I'm not a fan of what I was able to find for free online, and my FLGS had one at a good price. Base is still a print tho

I do like these new tyranid sculpts, I should probably get the codex eventually... maybe once I hit 1k painted

Okay now actually on to the Maleceptors. Maybe. Unless I get distracted and do something else instead

Found a cute little spider tank that I'm making our Bombard. Seems purpose built to hassle people who use the Bonded trait or stack auras, which is fun, and this dopey lil guy looks about speed 2

Finally wrapping up encounter 1 mechs for our Lancer intro: the Pyro. I love the Firestarter from Battletech, so flamethrowers on mechs is a big win for me. I wanted to emphasize the dangerousness and explosiveitude of carrying around enough flamethrower fuel to run a mech sized one so I went with industrial warning decals. This one ain't a free model, it's from Papsikels
