Yeah, so this is exactly as it says on the tin. My project log. I'll be posting pictures here of my progress as and when i do it, mainly to keep me motivated.
My Fex is near completion, just two more devourers to add.

What are those humans in the back? They don't look like Tyranids to me.

MemberYour a good painter jamie..
fuck you and your fucking shit fuck you little fucking fuck fuck.
That Carnifex looks awesome in it's positioning too. Gonna enjoy seeing that on the battlefield. Arghh it makes me wish i could paint that well. I'm going to try dammit! And i might start one of these Logs for my necrons, like jamie it might inspire me to keep painting them.

We should all start logs, that way we can get inspiration from eachother. Jamie your painting skills are sick, I can't wait to test mine out on a bigger unit. Dark I find the best way to paint smaller models is:
Undercoated > Drybrush with a light colour to add wear and tear > Paint over your top coat > do all detailed trimmings etc > go over the out of wack mistakes you made doing minor details with a topcoat again.
worked for my space marines and they dont look like they were painted by Michael J Fox.

MemberYeah i've learnt enough techniques like that to be decent with my new units, it's that my Space Marines have had so many layers on them that they've become bloated and all the detail has dissapeared anyway. The Assault marines have had over 20 different colourings of paint on them, which is why some of them are literally a blob.
Anyway i'll post up pics tommorow and describe how i'm coming along with everything in my own Log.

Memberdont buy the rulebook , just learn the new stuff and then 80 quid could easily get you 1500. the 100 quid assault box could get you that single handedly, and you can heavy upgrade your units to fill in the blanks. How about gaunts and warriors all with ec. (doing this on my phone, ill be back in the uk on saturday)

I agree. Don't worry Jamie, you can still definitely play in the combat patrol tournament so no big deal.

MemberPainted up my Lictor and another warrior, plus assembled another 2 broods of Horms and Terms. Just got another brood of Stealers to assemble then need to spray the shit before they're ready to bring. I think i could squeeze 1500 points out of what i've got, but it'd be shit.
I'll post a picture of the Lictor when i base it. Because it a Chameleon creature that can change it camoflague to match its surrounding, i've done it so its half way through changing, with its legs painted the same as the base it'll be on.

MemberGonna use this as just a general log from now on, as i'm doing Nids, SM and a few Orcs.
Started re-doing one of the Orc special Characters this morning. This is how he looked from when a painted him about 4 years ago. Gonna strip him, do a bit of GS work and paint him up to a high standard.

MemberWell, i've tried soaking it in Terps, scrubbing it with Nail Polish remover, and neither have worked. Only after i remembered that i had painted varnish over it when i first painted it, so it'll be a bitch to strip. So i've got as much of as i can, then i've sprayed it. I'll post some pics as i begin painting it.
