Been a busy week at work and at home... playing Underworld The Shelter, but finally got around to finishing off my weapons. Now to get playing... I mean painting.

I still need to make the weapons... that's twelve and I've got to make my final commander. I guess it's an accurate title.
So I purchased this back in 2017 from www.proopsbrothers.com and been making a lot of use. It has its flaws resulting in the first addition I never posted about. The two long length of wood extending up to the blade not only to keep the blade from shifting, but also to stop my small plastic rods bending at the tip as the blade makes it vertical cut. Still not perfect though. Etched on the right side was a few mm markings, but even then I had trouble getting same length cuts. As I needed 32x 2mm cuts for my Battlesuit arms, I decided to add a bit more. Using the existing grooves, I added another smaller piece so I had something to stop my rod at exactly the length I needed and using the grooves to keep it in place. This worked out like a charm and I'm planning to make a few more, possibly from something more harder than the current softwood.
Working the indent on the Tau Battlesuit knees have gave me a bit of a bruise on my finger tips :( So I took a break to do the Tau WIP page. This leaves the Orks WIP page to do and that one is going to be a big one.
So I'm doing the quick and simple WIP pages first, but I am also slowly progressing with the six remaining Tau Battlesuits.
Chaos WIP Parade page also up, but not many pictures. I realised I didn't take much photos of my second Chaos Terminator. I also moved the Chaos WIP pictures I had prior to the creation of this Blog into this page and removed the old page that was in the Conversion section.
Started the final push on the last six Tau Battlesuits, but only because I don't feel like painting my other models. A bit slow start, but hopefully I'll pick up the momentum to get these done.
I was hunting through my Blog to check a previous bit of work and realised how much effort it was. Fours years and 354 blog entries that was originally meant to be used as Site Updates only. As I already made a Tyranid WIP Gallery, I decided to expand and add to my Parade section. Now I have the WIP Parade that will have a page to a collection of the different Armies' WIP. These will unlikely be identical to everything I posted as I'll add it from the pictures I have on my PC and tablet every so often. To kick things off, I have my Space Marines WIP including the Thunderhawk Gunship and Stormraven that was created prior to starting this Blog.
I almost lost hope in completing this one. The original single barrel cannon looked too small so I doubled the barrel and also added a small bolter to the top. The weapon was so big that it hid most of the Terminator Armour that I spent so much time detailing hence the loss of enthusiasm to complete this. The original weapon was supposed to have a bullet feed, but to try and finish it, I went with a simpler cord to make it a laser cannon instead.
