@Shadespyre Cool, I look forward to seeing those.
Mine is a different mounted Vampiress, didn't know about the Warmachine one. Might post a wip PIC somewhere later tonight if I get moving on it.

True to form, I just picked up a model plane and started assembling it. Why, brain, why do you hate me so???:|
Edit: Boxing Day - glad I started this now, I'm pleased with how it looks so far!

I thought I'd share some plane pics with you...
Finished my Hawker Fury...
It's an entirely fictional colour scheme, based on some post WWI plane liveries and a mix of decals supplied with this kit and some others. The lightning bolt was used on real 1930s BUF flags - the ones on this plane are cut out of white decal paper.
The Hawker Fury was probably the best pre-WWII fighter aircraft built. I'll be using this one purely as an interceptor, to keep the skies above Herefordshire clear of enemy planes. I already have an Italian Fiat CR32 fighter which is part of a squadron of Italian planes "on loan" from the Spanish Civil War that I hope to build for my collection and games.
I also started on my Mounted Vampiress for the painting competition. I'm going with gold armour, and so far it looks awful! But many of my minis do at this stage so we'll press on and see how it goes...

Just got back to China after an awesome Christmas with the lady back in the UK.
After bringing tonnes of things back that I'd ordered throughout the year and was given by the family for Christmas, I'm determined to get things going and finish up my first block of skeletons so I can get something fleshy on the go!

First go at a BUF soldier
He's a bit mucky cos I hit the whole model with a black wash, even the skin. I think he needs a paler skin highlight and eyes to look a bit more human. How does the pale grey highlight work? It's not my usual style, but lots of people do it...
EDIT: I hope this is better

Just about done with the wight King. One colour & basing left to do on Monday and he's ready for joining his minions.
I've been working on warhammer stuff again as described in my new hobby log thread. I also got some Satyxis Bloodwitches and the UA for Christmas, so I'll be assembling and painting them at some point, and a friend has been nagging me to try Malifaux for ages, so I'll probably be picking up one of the Ressurectionist caster boxes pretty soon, maybe Yan Lo or Nicodem. I like Nicodem better as a caster, both in rules and model, but I like the supporting models that come with Yan Lo a lot more, aesthetically, and he's still reasonably cool, so... *shrug*.
I painted a full dozen of those infantry, will try to get back to the Vampiress over the weekend.....
@Shadespyre Really cool work on ships and planes. That's certainly different 
Looking forward to your mounted vampiress, I remember seeing the models and being impressed with just them.
@Farmer7574 Well that answers my question I just asked on your plog :frown: This is what you get for anwswering the posts from bottom to top. Looking forward to that Wight King!
And I finally I got enough time to catch up with all the posts here! On the last days of november I got sucked into a BIG project at work and barely had time for anything... then I went back to Poland for christmas and now finally I have a fully free weekend to read through all the stuff people have posted
I got a new mini as a present and took some others from home, so I have even more to do here.
And to keep on the topic - I got back to painting Nagash (I didn't make it in 2015, maybe 2016 will be more generous ) and I finished work on the golden freehand on his clothes - that was a chore! I'll try to post a picture this weekend.

@Farmer7574 Went with Mannfred, but gave him a headswap since the head he comes with looks like the white Orc from the Hobbit movies. It was a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to painting the model.
@Shadespyre At least you're getting that side project done and not procrastinating at something else, that's good
Well, here it is then! Two years ago a mate of mine handed me this model, a resin casting he'd made from a character he'd sculpted himself:
Clearing my desk over Christmas I found him again... and so I made this:
Not really a serious contender to join my Beastman army, but I hope you like it anyway!

Finished my space marines. Taking a break for today while I think what to do next, especially which Vampire project...
@Shadespyre Nice! I find it funny that you've probably got more vampires in your army than skeletons currently finished in mine.
Speaking of which, just the last few colours & basing left to do on this batch and then they'll be ready to join the ranks.

@Farmer7574 It's 22 to date, more if you count Vargheists and Varghulfs as Vampires! I might just make it to the 30 mark one day...
Moved on to my Breda 65 bomber, the kit is needlessly complicated and obsessively detailed. I'm missing off half the fiddly bits, and somehow I got the engine cowling wrong, but it's looking like a plane, so... also messing about trying to make it work with undercarriage up or down options, this is not easy either :frown:
@Sessioni I checked out your plog on you did a good job on the artillery. Is Empire a new project?
@Shadespyre 22 vampires is pretty insane. My 'army' completely lacks any kind of vampire (painted) right now so I'll have to get cracking on that.
I've just spent the past two days on doing a small O&G mini for the 13th Conversion Competition over on Da Warpath and I'm now back to working on a bunch of zombies. Having fun converting the Mantic Zeds but they're pretty limited. Lots of arm chopping and green stuff required.

@Farmer7574 12 of those Vampire are Blood Knights. Which is probably insane in itself! My Breda bomber is coming along nicely now - sorted the undercarriage - and I got some more 1930s troops to play with too.

@Farmer7574 I would certainly be keen to see what you come up with for your first vampire.
@Shadespyre I too have an over abundance of characters and larger monsters in my army. Why? Because that's what I like to paint. Units are a little too laborious for me generally.
As for what I'm working on currently? Nothing. I will hop to it as soon as I know the topic for the next challenge though.
