So I was so late in finishing my April update, that I was actually also able to complete most of my May update at the same time... Oops.
But, on to what I painted this month!
1. Paint a platoon for Flames of War
This month I finished up some more Shermans for my Late War US Army, which included finishing up a whole lot of additional turrets to give me options for different Sherman armaments.
 |
| The finished platoon- 6 105mm Shermans, 2 were new hulls, all new turrets |
 |
| The extra turret haul! 75mms, 76mms, Jumbo turrets.... |
I also added some mud to the last of the tanks I had previously painted too!
 |
| Snowy and muddy |
And more things that I have previously painted!
 |
| More snowy and muddy! |
Next up? Not sure, probably some Infantry!
2. Add something to armies I have already painted
 |
| A variety of close combat weapons |
 |
| More close combat weapons! |
And since I had to get the airbrush out to do the white armour on the Novitiate Superior, I also finished up a sister with a flamer to use in both Kill Team and in Boarding Action too!
 |
| Burninate. |
Not only did I paint up a new Kill Team, I also painted a table with which to play games of Kill Team on!
I bought the Kill Zone Moroch Box, and promptly painted it up. My painting method was a couple of cans of spraypaint grey, lots of different colours for detailing, and then oil washes to bring it into a more "grimdark" feel.
The quality of the terrain is really high- it's really modular, with clever attachment points and other things to make it super useable. I especially love the 40k radar dish, it's such a lovely sci fi element. I would not be at all sad to buy some more to make up a full 40k table!
4. Play a game a month, that was different to the last month
Skirmish gaming in the 40k universe? With a massive variety of missions, unique individuals and units? And a really fun set of mechanics?
Completing the theme for the month, it's Kill Team!
You can play it indoors.....
 |
| Sisters vs Navy Breachers |
 |
| Boltgun vs Shotgun! |
You can play it outdoors (on my new terrain no less!)...
 |
| Icon Bearer, on a roof. |
 |
| The Novitiates advance! They are all about to be gunned down by a demonic bolter, or killed by a Powerfist.... |
 |
| The dastardly forces of the Emperor's Children |
 |
| Novitiate Superior vs Sorceror. She did not win.... |
 |
| Novitiates running for terrain in the second game! |
See McZ's post for more photos of the outdoor games.
Regardless of where you play it, Kill Team is a really enjoyable game with a suprisingly large amount of depth. The Sororitas and the Novitiates kill teams play really differently- while the Novitiates have a lot more unique models and interactions, they are just so much less survivable than the full Battle Sisters- who are relying on boltguns, power armour and faith to get the job done.
Oh, and flamers, meltas and various types of bolters certainly help too!
5. Paint a Hundred Years War French Army for ADLG
The slow progress on this army continues....
Paint one Knight for ADLG
Paint one base for ADLG
I finished up the first commander for the army, none other than Jeanne of Arc herself!
 |
| Perry Miniatures knocks it out of the park again with a great sculpt! |
Oh, and more peasants!
Must be time for crossbowmen?
