What's on my palette?

Bless me #Warhammer Community for I have sinned, it's been over 2 months since my last confession! Lots of progress both on my previous priorities and numerous other projects but I have been focused on my remaining Leviathan Tyranids, trying to get them done before the end of the hobby season.

My current priorities are:

1. Leviathan Termagants x20 [actually 21]
2. Leviathan Barbgaunts x5
3. Leviathan Von Ryan's Leapers x3
4. Leviathan Neurogaunts x11

I've also got 3 Genestealers progressing alongside that will go on the base of one of my Cerastus Knights. Recent posts about progress and concerns about completing them in time  have been alleviated but still a challenge. After the second set of chitin highlights progress has been swift. So much so that the next update will probably be their TO DONE! showcase. However, those second highlights felt like the exact opposite than the previous slog of turquoise and bone. Truly I felt at one with the process. Not only productive but permanently satisfied with what I was doing and willing to extend my efforts to get stuff done. Usually I'd take a break as soon as it got hard but I was willing to persevere and it never felt like a slog. That zen feeling was wonderful.

All that is left now are 

• the final set of black highlights
• base detailing - bone chips and odd bits of modelled debris and alien growths
• base rims
• varnish - matt
• flocking, if any
• varnish - gloss and Tamiya Clear Red X-27

Eminently doable. However, my son will be moving away in a week or so, which means we have limited time left to watch TV shows together. Many shows will not get the shared viewing I'd hoped for. We missed out on Shogun, although we did regrettably catch up with Rings of Power. I mean we enjoyed complaining about it and keeping track of how many times they said the name Celebrimbor in any given episode. But otherwise it was a huge disappointment. Anyway, I will drop any paint task in front of me if it means spending time with him while we still can.

Further tasks identified are now clearly for next season

• Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan 1
• Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan 2
• Adeptus Titanicus Questoris Knights x3
• Adeptus Titanicus terrain - this is a second lot of AT terrain 
• Cerastus Knight Acheron
• Cerastus Knight Castigator

The Cerastus Knights will be after the Warlords, I suspect that'll be November December. But I have done some minor bits and bobs on them inbetween painting. In particular the Adeptus Titanicus terrain is being built and I'm slowly 'pimping' them with cardboard and coffee stirrer detailing. They'll be cool when ready to prime so I can show what I've done. I've also got some Crisis Protocol terrain that I was volunteered to paint by the guys. It's Guardians of the Galaxy, but I'm going to paint it in my rebel barricade style for Star Wars Legion. The guys have a New York set up for their battles so it's somewhat redundant otherwise

Lots to do, but some [welcome] distractions. I'm feeling productive but looking to have a bit of a break after the end of this season. Just a little disappointed the blog has been sacrificed a bit to allow me to get the hobby done. Fingers crossed I find some time to share some of our many games we've played recently, my dice have been on fire! 🎲🔥
