Finally rec'd my FW Brass Khorne symbols today. Took them almost 8 weeks to get here!
Now I can get my Herald done. His Juggernaut is about half finished.
2 colors (3 layers) on the next 5 Bloodletters. 3 more colors (4 more layers) to go on their flesh. After the flesh, they finish pretty fast. My final Flesh Hound is at the same stage as the Bloodletters.
Original Trek is good to paint to.

Flesh is finished on all five Bloodletters. Have to do the Baal Red glaze and then it's on to detailing. Hoping to have this batch done this weekend!

Ok, next rank of Bloodletters is finished except for snow. Holding off on snowing the bases as I've got a couple more minis I expect to finish in the next couple of days.

I've decided I really MUCH prefer the utility of the Cav bases as 2 model regimental bases over the 4 wide versions. Going to start using just one of the 4 wides per unit and then a mix of 25x50, 50x50, and singles. Allows a lot more mobility of formation.

I have a lot of my DE Spearmen on the regiment bases and if I had to suggest I would recomend the two wide. Much better utility and they are the right size.

I wonder if I could get GF9 to make me a pack of 20x40mm bases?
Guess I'll email and ask them. I'll need tons for my High Elves and DoW soon.

This week the Daemons have become the side project as I've had to relegate the Dwarfs to the front burner. Trying to finish 10 Thunderers, a second Cannon, and the Gyrocopter to get them to 2500 for a tournament on Saturday.
So with the Midgets getting primary focus, I've been working on getting the next batch of Bloodletters built and primed. And steadily working on my BSB on Jugger and Skulltaker this week as well. The Jugger is 90% complete and the Herald is coming along behind him. Skulltaker is about half-finished as well. (Skulltaker is being worked on only because I need a General on foot for a 1250 tourney in April that I hope to use the Daemons at.)
Should have at least the Herald on Jugger done by Sunday.

Ok, now that MWR is all done, it is time to get back to some Daemons!
Delenn is gone to visit mom n sister for 3 weeks so I am going to try to get some serious work done on the Daemons (and probably some final stuff done to the 6 Minute Midgets as well).
Currently planning on coming back to IL for Core Comp in Chicago and so am going to try to get 2400 finished in Daemons by then.
I think I've decided to go ahead and build out the rest of the army and get them primed, as a departure from what I had been doing (building 5 or 6 at a time) so that I can work on what I feel like whenever.
Still trying to sort out the 2400 list but since I have a lot of models to build, I can at least get rolling on them.
Will also be starting a VC army for my friend Scott Parshall as he's ready to move on from his Ogres (and he has a metric crapton of old Man O War stuff that I want in return for painting the VC) so I'll be using them to replace the Dwarfs as the side project now that they're pretty much done.
Lots of painting to do the rest of the year if I want to make my goal of 3 armies this year!

Have been building, building, building for the last few days. Priming too! Had a brand new can of primer on Sunday, when it's dry, it's time to paint.
Built so far this week:
22 Dwarf Warriors 11 Dwarf Miners 10 Dwarf Thunderers
Those plus a Grudge Thrower, Bolt Thrower and Gyro will get the 6 Minute Midgets up to 3K.
5 Seekers of Slaanesh w/Full Cmd 18 Daemonettes of Slaanesh w/Full Cmd
On the table to be cleaned and primed:
3 Plastic Bloodcrushers 1 Skulltaker
I was getting too close to Mono-Khorne with the Daemons and I never wanted that, even starting out, so instead of moving on with more Bloodletters, I decided it was time to get some Slaanesh in the mix.
Really, really wanting those new Finecast Flamers as I hate the way the metal ones fit together (or don't fit together actually).
And right now am desperately jonesing for Finecast Flesh Hounds, a Skulltaker, Lord of Change and Blood Thirster. Those models done in Finecast would allow me to field my Daemons with ZERO metal models and that's my new goal. I loves me some plastic and resin!
Pics of all the primed stuff as soon as the can runs dry!

Have begun the Daemonette unit in earnest. Basecoat and deep shading color done on the first six, including the command group.
Hopefully I'll have a rank done those weekend.

Finally have the first six Daemonettes ready to base. Got sidetracked with terrible allergies and my girl had her first ear infection but back on track now. I still plan on having 2400 done for Core Comp in September. In the interest of getting them done I redesigned my list. Cut down the number of models and totally filthed it up. New list is:
Bloodthirster - Armour, Collar and Axe of Khorne. Immortal Fury.
Herald of Khorne on Jugger - Armour of Khorne, Firestorm Blade. Icon of suck some -2 LD
Herald of Slaanesh on Steed - Siren Song
Herald of Tzeentch on Disc - MoS Beasts, Spellbreaker
24 Bloodletters - Full Cmd. Icon of Endless War
18 Daemonettes - Std & Mus
5 Flesh Hounds
6 Seekers - Full Cmd, Siren Std
3 BloodCrushers - Full Cmd
Half painted right now so I've got to really start busting some minis out if I don't want to get stuck taking the Midgets instead.
Pics this weekend hopefully!

Ok, there is not much that sucks worse than to have an entire unit of 18 Daemonettes finished and ready for basing and to have to sit round waiting on pumice!
