Not much done - but now I have the Witch Hunters codex I'll try to have the appropriate army lists done when I'm all OK.
Scored first win on Battlenet playing the Starcraft... 3v3 game with some ppl from France. I have eliminated most of the enemy team pretty much by myself - steamroller of 80 Marines with all upgrades can beat pretty much anything.  The poor guys did not knew what hit them... and when one mob was dead, another was already coming from my base.
Other then this I got hooked by old Battletech game, "Crescent Hawks Revenge". Quite hard thing for a strategy game.

Continuing Health Issues have meant its been quiet on my work bench for a week now  .
I still cant paint much of anything, But I've done a little work on the Pit-Fighter board, just doing the basic paintwork on the second wall section & planking.
I've decided that I'm going to leave 2 sides open as it makes access to the miniatures a lot easier for gaming. I'm also going to look into some other hex-based gladiatorial combat games (anybody had any experience with such games?) to see if I can modify the "Pit" board so it can be used for more than one ruleset.
I still have to add a lot of details such as filling in some brick work, and adding the much needed gory bits and with all the commission work I have to catch up on when I can return to painting, that wont be happening for quite a while so dont expect any updates from me too soon ?
However, its looking like a half-decent dungeon like pit & I think it still qualifies as one up on some printed card for a gaming board ?

T5W,
I also really liked the old Battletech game, "The Crescent Hawks Revenge."
I wanted to mention that you can escape the initial game encounter with the Chameleon training mech if you really try. You go up and to the left to escape with it from the training grounds.
The Chameleon is significantly larger than most mechs you can get and its' firepower is really helpful.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I remember "The Crescent Hawks Revenge". Ahhh, memories... Has anybody here played "Pool of Radiance" with a Commodore 64? 
Back on topic, I have begun work on my first Black Templar assault squad for 40k. Nothing much yet, I just washed them to get the residues of mould lubricant off.

Maksim, you actually mean "Crescent Hawks Inception", the first Crescent Hawk game.
CHR was the second, and it was it that was really the first RTS game, not the Dune 2 (BTW, a "small company called Westwood" was also involved in CHR).
While about CHI, I have looong ago found a way to customize pretty much any Mech in the game... all Level 1 weapons are there, just Infocom has not used them.

Got paints to test a better color scheme on my Sisters of Battle - two Seraphim are prepped for painting (and naturally already converted).
Spent most of last evening on number-crunching so I can better understand the format in which the Mech data in CHR are done - already got substantial results...

Thanks mate, they're on the way up.
Hopefully the paint will have gone & my hands will stop shaking within a week so I can get back on top of things. 
In the mean time, Its taken me most of a shaky-handed week to paint my first pit fighter:_________________ Cheers, Paul "TuffSkull" T. http://hobbybrush.com - My New Website, with thousands of painted Mini Pics :) http://hobbybrush.blogspot.com - My Hobby Blog TuffSkull's notepad- My Old Blog on Wargames Wiki.

That's a nice looking pit fighter. I'm still awaiting the arrival of the new Dwarf Doombringers before I convert a Dwarf pitfighter. The chains that go all the way up the Doombringer's arms fit the pit fighter look so well.
In the meantime I've settled on a colour scheme for my Warmaster Orcs so I'm gonna try to finish a small army over the next few weeks.

Vanvlak, painting fingernails is a good thing, IMO, and though its sure crazy to do, it's easier then it seems - with one color at least
I say that most surfaces of a model need at least two colors each, VV... and for minimalism, nothing beats players in my area - recently I saw two players duking it out in a tournament, and each had only about 10 figures painted of whole army!!!
The hack is complete as much as I could do it. Read here.
The Zip file with the hack is attached to this message.

Adding the finishing touches to two SH Tank companies. One Shadowsword company and a Stormblade company for my desert forces. The Stormblades are modified mk1 (or Mars Pattern) where I nicked Carl's Storrmblade conversion ideaa but transferred it to SM2 era models and bits. Basically I replaced the original Plasma Blastgun with the tip of the titan mounted version. Also I replaced the missile rack with a slightly more battleworthy Whirlwind missile launcher pod.
Pics will be added later today when they're all finished. ...Also I might have time to do a bit of work on some Vanquishers but only time will tell.
Cheers!

Stormblades- there's just something about a tank with a Plasma Blastgun that is so appealing!
Look forward to the pics.
Cheers
