It took longer than I would have liked - I've been distracted with music related activity - but still, the work on giving my Boar Boyz "goblin green" basing has been completed!

I'm thinking of trying Dragon Rampant, 2nd ed. for my fantasy games.One more boar boy would give me three six-figure units. But, that's not likely to happen any time soon - fortunately, Dragon Rampant supports varying figure counts per unit (also good because my infantry units have ten figures, not twelve).
Some recently arrived additions include this lot of five old metal Adepta Sorotias Seraphim.
I much prefer the way these look compared to the modern Seraphim plastic kits. Especially as this lot came with the helmeted Superior with plasma pistol and one of the Seraphim has flame pistols.
The slotta bases they came with however won't work for my purposes - so I may order some 3d printed bases of the correct diameter. I intend to paint this unit in the colors of the Order of the Sacred Rose (white armor, red fabric bits).
Inspired by my reading of Hammer & Anvil, I've decided to build up my Necron force to something suitable for the battles of Sanctuary 101 (where the Sisters battle Necrons). I'll primarily try to follow the novel for scenario ideas but White Dwarf 218 (1998, 2nd ed. 40K, which is perfect for me) has a Sanctuary 101 scenario that looks feasible with only slightly reduced numbers to fit on my smaller playing space.
(Apparently Sanctuary 101 scenarios also appear in WD 469 and 521? There are also some wargamers who have posted their own versions)
For my birthday (last month), I was gifted this Necron Overlord (and some green transluscent plastic rod to mount on the staff) :

It came painted like that. But, although I think it looks great, my Necrons are all painted as Novokh Dynasty So, I'll strip this figure and then paint to match the rest. Eventually.
This figure will serve as the leader, clearly. And that just leaves some Destroyers to round out the force to match the White Dwarf article.
There's quite a bit still in progress on my paint table - including the Hospitaller, ten Termagants, and four lizard warriors. I am hoping to finish up the lizards this weekend as I will have a good bit of time to do that and they don't need much really.
