Xenos on Crusade: Neil the Devourer; Hive Fleet Lindworm Month 5

Hi all it's Neil here with another post about my Hive Fleet Lindworm crusade project as part of our group Xenos on Crusade project.  A quick recap, this project was to get us all playing 9th edition where we all chose a Xeno faction to take into the new Crusade way to play.  My Tyranids have been growing slowly, starting from a couple of units and now being a 75 power list with quite a few games under its belt.  This month's additions complete the outstanding models for this 75 power crusade roster, a Mawloc and a pair of Zoanthropes to reinforce my existing unit.

Mustering for Vigilus: Tim's Primaris, End of Month (4 and) 5

Here we are, at the end of Month 5, and I haven't even done Month 4's post yet - here, therefore, are both of these months' catch up collected together. Progress on my Primaris has been fairly slow due to life and its many distractions... and also the huge chaos release in March, which distracted me back to Heresy for a while.

However, after a thorough purge by my company's Chaplain and some awkward questions from a visiting Inquisitor (my thumbs have since recovered enough to paint), I am now fully certified as a loyalist cur.

My focus has been on getting some troops done to make my 750pt list, while fending off Chaotic distractions. Accordingly, I have painted 7 fresh intercessors to give me a core (and the heart of a Deathwatch battalion). I like how these guys come out, though I am yet to fully pin down the quickest way to do their colour scheme - it is a balancing act between shades and highlighting on a fairly uniform dusty surface, so any stains or missteps show up clearly. However I am pleased with the final result - the dust, red and gold has a nice combination of the heraldic with the realistic.

Mustering for Vigilus: James' Adeptus Custodes, End of Month 5

Here we are at the end of month 5, with only one month of the Tale left to go the time seems to have flown by. For this month I decided to pull back on my pledges and just focus on one unit, with the goal being to really try to focus on getting at least one hours painting in a day. For me the important part this month wasn't to get loads done, but to really start building good hobby habits that I can move forward with to help my army painting. 

Mustering for Vigilus: Medge's Adeptus Mechanicus, End of Month 5

The penultimate month of our little Tale is over, and with it come the realisation that I've painted A LOT of Adeptus Mechanicus so far this year!! Next month I'll post up a full army pic to show off the last 6 months accomplishments, but for now I'll just stick to this months completed minis.

At the end of Month 4 I pledged to complete 1 Sydonian Dragoon as my core pledge, with a stretch goal of completing/ revitilising my Questoris Knight Styrix.

So how did I do?
