Beeping And Booping

Not much actual painting done today but because the Necrons paint quite quickly, I've actually got to a point where I think a few more details and a bit of gloss varnish will have these finished soon:

My Tesseract Glow technical had completely separated but the judicious application of a long matchstick as a stirrer got it to a usable point again. 

In other hobby nonsense today I found an interesting website that allows you to create your own Battlemechs and generates Alpha Strike Data Cards too, although it is missing a few bits - I can't seem to add AWS, ECM, or similar stuff to 'mechs for some reason. Anyway it is still handy, and I used it to generate an Alpha Strike card for my preferred homebrew Firestarter version, the FS9-HM (M here standing for MacLeod's Light Horse, my mercenary company):

This version takes the standard FS9-H and removes all the weapons, replacing them with six Small Lasers and as much armour as will fit on the chassis. The end result is a machine that sacrifices its Medium range damage output of 1 for a doubled Short range output of 4, has one more armour point, and costs 1 more point to buy. I've got some 3d print files that I've asked my friend R (who is looking after my 3d printer for me) to print when she can. So that'll probably be a 2025 project.

And that was my day in silly toy soldiers!
