From the Work Bench: July 9, 2026

 


Hey everyone! Been a bit since my last post, but it has been a very busy time! Lots of end of work and parenting responsibilities, but I have managed to eek out some time to do some painting over the last month and a bit. So let's get into the outpost update!

I'll get the non-painting updates out of the way first, as there are no updates on any of my solo-play adventures. I'm hoping to get back into either Crimson Tide or Star Trek Gauntlet in the near future as things are now calming down. So hopefully I'll get a session in and then get it posted before the end of the month.

On to the painting updates! I completed 4 of my Termagants and now only have 9 left to completely finish the Leviathan launch box from last edition.



Next, the Tempestus Aquilons. I've completed my plasma gunner and I'm almost done another trooper. That leaves me with 5 left in the squad to complete. I've gotten a little more motivated to complete these guys with the announcement from Modiphius of an X-COM game coming up for pre-order near the end of July and my guard army is already the right color scheme to work on the board.


On to my Land Raider. I've done some more detail work on the two marines riding the tank. I've also begun to do all the metal parts on the general vehicle. I just finished my first coat on the tank tracks earlier this week, but still need to get all the little parts, like the vents, and the flame cannons done.

New to the project board for this update are my first Kroot Long Quill squad leader and the commemorative Ethereal. I finally sourced a hover drone for the Ethereal as I didn't want her to be on foot.

Finally, I completed the model for my character in the last Daggerheart scenario my D&D group played. We finished the playthrough a while back, but I like to paint up my characters when I get the chance. His name is Kraig Boulderdash and was a mountaineering guide who lead people to the traditional cradle of Giants. I'm pleased to say he survived the story and lives on to help the resistance push back against the system!

That's all the updates I have for now.

Until next time!
