Well I could not find the led to my good Digtal camera so I am using my very old one which Is why these pictures arnt great. I will try and get better pictures soon.
Here are a few shots of my Normal CSM and there rhinos.They models are basically done I am just doing tide up work now and I need to paint the Icon and the Mutation heads but I am not sure what colour to do.Then I need to do the base on them.
So far I have done nearly all my CSM. The terms I have started but need to finish them and I got another 5 today so need to start on them.
My vinds are undercoated and drybrushed Boltgun metal just need to start on the details. My lord is uncoated and my raptors have yet to be made.
Sorry there not very upclose this camera does suck.
Blue= Painted just needs final highlights
Green= Based and Done
Red = Unmade/unpainted/ Basecoated
Lord
10 Terms
30 CSM
10 Raptors
3 Rhinos
1 Pred
2 Vinds
5 Havocs
3 Oblit
Here is a pic of the models I am working on right now
Here are the 5 Old Chaos Term models I got off Ebay for £4 need to touch up there undercoat before I paint them.
just some Random pics now sorry about the camera once again

Not the best quality camera as you said, but i can still tell those models are really detailed; they look awesome. Unlike mine they're especially cool due to those yellow/black iron warrior designs - i love that vet sarge model who has the design on both the axe and the gun. Keep these photos coming, show of your orks too maybe.

Thanks. I really like the Hazard stripes on the IW. I not going to put them on every gun as I think it sticks out better in small numbers.
Here is a quick pic of some very old school grotz I am messing around with. I need to put detail on there face and guns I got these models in the 2ed starter box which came with a few sm and a card ork Dread.
There is also a pic of a Ultramarine captain I did a few years ago and a Ork Nobz form Gorkamorka. Here is also a pic of an Old Vind model which I am going to try and paint tonight. I got alot of help with the Ork Nobz and it did take me about a month to finish, I really what to repaint the SM captain which I did paint when I was around 12. But I dont what to respray it and not sure how to strip the paint off it.

Wow that space marine looks legendary lol almost looks like it's 2D.
And lol the grotz look like toys the way they're all different coloured guns lol bet they will look good when the detail comes in.
And the Ork Nob looks fantastic, better than any of the orks on display in my local GW.
That vindicator is the same one i have too. Oh, and that keyboard is the same as mine!

The Ork Nod looks really good, the inks have really brought out his skin. Looking good Grim, hope to see more.

Yea I find orks really good for Inks but I just cant find a use for them in my Iron Warriors, I also find it alot harder to highlight marines. But Marines are alot quicker to paint then orks.

Yeah, its hard to shade a black figure, so the only other option is a codex grey highlight which is what i'm doing on my black templars.

Will post up a few Pictures of my now finished Termators later tomorrow. Will go buy some codex grey tomorrow and test it out on a few test models.
Just about to out shopping and get some more paints. I need more reds and a light blue. I am also going to go pick up the Space marine Chaplin in Term armour as I think he will make a Good Chaos Term AC with some conversion. I really need to find that cable so I can use my good camera.
Here is a quick update on my terms. I am painting the old ones first as they arnt glued together so its easier. So far I have only undercoated them, drybrushed them boltgun metal and painted the details Bronze. Still got about 3 stages left on these guys ( only 2 in the pictures but I have 6 up to that stage)

Here are a few pictures of my Dark Eldar. These models where painted when I was about 11, so there not great. But if you like Nemp I can bring a few so you can play a 500 point game with them.
In the Pic there is a Archon, Incubi,Scourge and a Talos.

Well I am bored as I have painted all my Terms and Marines now I am just waiting for my ordered to come though with my new paints and superglue so I can finish my Oblits and raptors. So I find a box of SM assault marines and I am making them chaosey but I found a ton of other bits so I decided to do some converting. So Far I have about 5 marines painted as Imperial fists and as IW hate IF I am going to pin them to my tanks or on the bases of my terms. I just need to pop into town and get some greenstuff.
Anyway the main thing I am doing is for one of my raptors who right now is based on a huge rock. Well I have made a IF asm and I am going to put them charging at each other and the IW running him though with his Chainsaw. Pictures to come later today.
Here are some pictures once again sorry for crap camera. I just did some test models using bluetack and I think its come out quite well. In the pictures I dont think you can see but i have put alot of battle damage on the Space Marine and my Chaos guy has had his shoulder pad slit into two. The Sm also has two daggers lodged in his chest.

Sounds cool but dont go over broad with gore and body parts. Done a bit more work to my Raptor AC now I have given him possessed arms, going to make a few more out of greenstuff, One will be holding up the severed arm of the SM. Hopeful it looks good if not dont really mind this was just for fun and I only used spare parts to make both models.
And here is one of my Term lords. He is nearly done just need to touch him up a bit like the skull in his spikes and his base.

I know its double posting but I think in a log it does not matter. Would be nice if more people replyed but hey.
Here is a picture of some Chaos Space marines I am making. I whated to do something different so I took a few arms off my Chaos knights and here we go. I am also trying some new basing stuff out and its ok but it takes age to get the guy s to stick to it.
Do you flock the base then stick the guy on or stick the guy and try and flock around him ?
WOW just noticed the really bad mold lines on those models will have to tidy that up. Well I was going to paint them up today but its been raining so cant spraypaint them.
So I started work on my Raptors here is my Raptor AC with Power weapon and my AC of my CSM.
The Raptor guy is still work in progress so please any tips on him. The Brass will be painted a different colour so it wont be so bright.

I put my models together and glue them to the base then sand the base, that way when I spray the undercoat it holds the sand together. Also, judging from your bases I belive you are using the basing kit, is it any good?

Posted 3 years ago # |

The basing kit is ok, i find some of the stuff hard to use. Also the Resin bits are quite large so only really good on large bases like Terms or not sure what Tau have.
Its good for an Urban Battlefield.

I'm lucky, I have a couple of slabs of slate for basing purposes.

Been painting my Chosen and my Oblitetors. The Oblit was a pain to put together, really hate working with metal, still need to do the arms.Still got alot of work to do on the chosen but pretty pleased with them so far.
The pictures when uploaded seemed to have cut out my other model which is my Chosen AC,the guy with the bolter is just a normal CSM and the guy with the Melta is just a normal CSM as well. Will take a picture later of my actual chosen.

Damn, that looks sick, good work. What is the blue? I want to get some to paint the plasma in my guns.

the blue is enchanted blue, its come out a bit lighter in the pictures. For my plasma guns I paint the plasma bit blue then do a very small drybrush of white/

Quick update. I have basically finished my 1500 point army all models are painted just need to go over them do some touch up and base a few of them. The only models left to paint are the raptors a pred and 2 vinds but those units arnt in my list.
Here is a few pictures of my chosen AC, Plasma gunner and Icon bearer. These guys where 90% done when the photo was taken I have tided them up and painted the detail on to the helmet on the pole.

Those models look really nice grim, very sleek and polished and a good mix of colours and designs so they stand out well.

Thanks. I am thinking of repainting the whole army. I am just a bit bored by the Iron Warrior theme. Here is my Test scheme.Its pretty similar just purple instead of Boltgun so will only take me a day to repaint the army. Will post up a picture of my Test model in a bit
Here is a very rough test model and I mean very rough he took about 10 mins to paint. So which scheme do you prefer
And here is my lord on bike needs alot of work still
Well I have made my choice I am not going to repaint my army. Going to leave 3 Squads Iron warriors and then going to have 2 squads of NM painted in the new theme along with there rhinos. Also going to paint one Oblit like it as well.
Here is my new list which will be going to Warhammer world. I now have 12 models to paint over the weekend to be all done. Its 25 over i know going to get rid of something just trying to decide.
You guys dont mind me using a special Character do you ?

I'm amazed it took you 10 minutes on that guy, the purple looks so sleek and flawless. I think they both look very good so i don't have much to choose. Also, your lord on the bike, he has the same sword by Jetpack commander does, i think :P

Thanks. Well it took about 10 mins to do the purple he was already painted as an IW I just repainted the purple. That lord on Bike is an old 2ed Special Character called Doomrider problemly the worst special character made his rules just sucked but he is a good model.
I will post a picture later of my Noise Marine Rhino. The purple really stands out against the rest of my army.

Here is my First Noise Marine Rhino the Second one is just purple right now. Looking at these pictures I think I need to clean up the tank a bit before I declare it done. Also yes I know that is a Tzeentch Symbol on the Tank I didnt have any Slaanesh ones left. I did try and write some stuff on the scrolls but after about 10 attempts I just gave up. Up close it does not look great but I am sure it will look good on the battlefield

Thats really good George, I like the Tyranid head, hopefully it will inspire your troops to victory against the hive mind.
