A Slight Deviation

For a variety of reasons, not least of which is how warm it is in the office where I do my painting, I haven't actually done any of that today. What I did do, though, was clean up and repair the Bull Shark BSK-M3 model that I picked up when I went to visit R at the weekend.

The two metal barrels are from Heresy Miniatures' silenced machine pistols, replacing parts that broke off when being cleaned up

That beast should have two Autocannon 10s, two Autocannon 5s, four long-range missile launchers, and four medium lasers, but it turns out that you can't fit the AC/10s and the AC5s in the arms, so I had to swap them for LBX-AC10s (giant shotgun things really). Then I got to trying to stat it up for Alpha Strike, initially using the old Alpha Strike Companion rules:


 And then on being informed that this was out of date and that the place to go was Mega Mek's Mek Lab, I spent a while getting that downloaded and installed and the relevant Java runtime installed and then getting the damn thing recreated again:

Which is quite different really! At any rate if you'd like to get your own Bull Shark, you can find the files for them here. I also got the Orions, Black Knight, and Stalker 3H from that site too.

So no progress on the Pile of Opportunity, Marienburgers, or Space Wolves today - but I did do a fair bit of hobbying regardless.
