Recent project completion - four more minis from the Arcadia Quest board game set! Did two more after that but don’t have good pics yet.

Yesterday was my first time playing in a Warhammer 40K tournament in at least two years, maybe longer. They were my second, third, and fourth games of the 8th Edition. It was hosted at Chicagoland Games: The Dice Dojo, and organized by a couple of local players. Overall the day was a good one, with pretty good people and great tables.
Gameplay-wise, I won two of my three games: 16-15 vs. Necrons, 11-17 vs. Orks, and 19-14 vs. Space Marines (Raven Guard flavor, Index version). Takeaways from the day: Shuriken Cannons are legit, Crimson Hunters are pretty damn awesome (I hadn't used them yet in this edition and hadn't gotten to experience the power of multi-damage weapons), it's nice not having to stress over turn 1 quite as much since it's really difficult to blow up Wave Serpents. However, as awesome as having 22 Shuriken Cannons is, they still can't quite chew through 90+ Orks.
In even better news, I was voted Best Painted! That was a fantastic outcome that I was hoping for (and is usually my goal with any given tournament) but it was still a very good feeling to have my work validated some. I also got asked multiple times about commissions, so that will hopefully be something I'll start doing.
A picture of the army I fielded is below.
-Farseer, Bike, Spear
-Warlock, Bike, Spear
-5 Dire Avengers
-5 Dire Avengers
-5 Rangers
-8 Fire Dragons
-5 Jetbikes (Shur. Cannons)
-5 Jetbikes (Shur. Cannons)
-3 Vypers (2x Shur. Cannons)
-2 Crimson Hunters
-2 Wave Serpents (3 Shur Cannons, Spirit Stones, Vectored Engines)

Current state of the orcs/goblins from Arcadia Quest. Faces are pretty much done, I think. Next stream I should be able to finish them, or get close - need to do the hair, clothing, and weapons. And the bases, though I'm not sure if I'll do any texture or just paint them black.

Top of the hour coming up, and tonight we're gonna work on painting the part of these Arcadia Quest greenskins that aren't green! Okay, I might still do a bit of work on the skin (picked up some green wash, we'll see how it works). But I'll also get to work on the rest of the minis' parts.
