Had a wonderful weekend of hobbying, catching up with lots of friends, and realising that maybe 3rd edition Horus Heresy is actually fine? Good even?
Somehow Lloyd and I also won best warlords, which was a very pleasant surprise!

Streak 3 Day 6 🔥- And that's 5! The one on the right is looking a little too bright, but after the pin wash is done I'll edge highlight and then go back and get my grading right.

Streak 3 Day 5 🔥 - That's some more colours down on tactical 4. I have noticed they're getting brighter as the squad goes on, so I may have to double back and properly re-highlight.

Streak 3 Day 4 🔥 - Much more exciting, got some more paint down on another tactical, and brightened up the other 2 to match a bit more closely.
2 more left in this batch, then pin washing time. Once these are done, I need to get some Wolves going.

Streak 3 Day 3 🔥 - Not nearly as exciting as yesterday, but it looks like the heavy bolters for the Shadowsword printed nicely.
Not quite sure how, since the supports went a bit crazy.

I'm very keen to get going on the Shadowsword, and not just because of the looming deadline, so I'll be doing some modeling tomorrow!

Will start taking measurements and designing parts tomorrow. Maybe paint some more TSons too.

Streak 2 Day 22 🔥 - A total departure tonight in the light of the very exciting Legacies list released today.
Dug out a *very* old Shadowsword to strip it of its now 3 layers of paint. Will hopefully be showing off a lot more of this tank as I try to convert it to match the LI design.

Streak 2 Day 20 🔥 - Every day I feel more that I need to get a lightbox.
Saw I'd done nothing on marine 1's legs, so started some highlights going there.
I said I'd put it down to keep the batch moving, so got some preliminary colours down on marine 2.

Sculpting's all done, last few printed bits just need gluing down (excluding the last khopesh that seems cursed), and then a lot of barrel drilling tomorrow.
