#hobbystreak Day 109 & 110 | Rudder Repairs

Unfortunately while brush priming the Arkanaut Frigate I damaged the rudder mechanism, and repairing it took longer than expected.

With everything repaired I'm aiming to start painting soon™

#hobbystreak Day 88 & 89 | Kharadon Colour Scheme Progress

Some slow but steady progress on the Kharadon colour scheme, still not sure if I'll be adding the bronze accents to the metal.

#hobbystreak Day 389

Picked up Drekki Flynt a while back and decided to put him together as finishing a small Kharadon Force was also part of my 2025 Resolutions.

I'm still deciding on what I'll do with his base.

#hobbystreak Day 209

I put together another trio of Eldrinriggers to clear out some sprues and set the remaining bits aside for future conversions. I prepped some foam for their rocks bases as well.

#hobbystreak Day 140 & 141

I had hoped to get some paint on my Kharadons before the end of the month but I instead spent some time working on the comms for the Deimos Rhino Primaris and stripping the 2009 Space White Dwarf mini I managed to get my hands on.

#hobbystreak Day 390

Looking at the new Kharadon rules I plan to build a Magnate's Crew List however I'd also like to make Drekki's Regiment of Renown so I decided to magnetise Drekki so I can attach him to the Frigate when not fielded.

#hobbystreak Day 102

Didn't have a lot of hobby time today so I put the final touches on the Arkanaut Frigate and Eldrinriggers, giving them a quick brush primer coat. The main balloon needed another coat so it's not in the picture.

#hobbystreak Day 112

Started painting some of the colour bands on the Arkanaut Frigate. There are a few more areas left to block out, another thin layer or two and then the I'll start taping off triangles to begin creating the Dazzle Camouflage.

#hobbystreak 90 & 91 | Kharadon bases

For ease of painting I decided to attach the Arkanauts to their bases and I've started making bases for the frigate and Edrinriggers.

I'm still figuring out how I'll be doing a sky/cloud effect on these bases.

#hobbystreak Day 96 & 97 | Arkanaut Frigate

Bar some final bits of cleanup, the Frigate Mini-Diorama is now done and ready for painting. The Edrinriggers are also attached to their new bases which means the Spearhead is ready to paint.

#hobbystreak Day 93 - 95 | Kharadon Progress

I made some more progress on the Kharadon Spearhead putting together more of the frigate and adding the first layer of texture to the remaining bases.

I also did a bit of conversion on the captain of the Frigate.

The initial assembly on the rest of my Arkanaut Frigate, the balloons are both detached and while the front balloon will be glued down after painting the rear balloon will be removable so that the steering wheel mechanism can be accessed. A small conversion on the Frigate Captain giving him one of the spears from the Sky Wardens box, shortened to be more useful for infantry. Some foam rock bases with the first layer of texture on top of them.

Febuary 2025 #hobbygoals & Jan 2025 #hobbyroundup

- Start working on the modular Iron Warriors Vehicle Pool (3 Rhino, a Spartan Chassis & maybe the Rapier Carriers)

- Finish Painting the Kharadon Spearhead

- Continue working on the Ironhead Squats

- Finish #huevember202

#warhammercommunity
My hobby goals for February including working on some modular iron warriors vehicles, finishing the Kharadons spearhead, continuing to work on my Ironhead Squats and finishing my Huevember Project. While I did not finish painting the Kharadon Spearhead I did finish assembling everything and experimenting with some colour schemes. Made some more progress on my Ironhead Squats, adding two Hangers-on characters, almost finishing the modular Sump/Scout trike as well as some progress on the Exo-kyn and Vehicles. I didn't make a lot of progress on the last few miniatures of my Huevember Project, I'm hoping to get these done in February instead.
