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.
They be SM scouts. I'm painting a friends army for him as he's only interested in playing.
Your 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.
Yeah 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.
Dude I'm just going to pour all my paint into a bowl and just dip my fucking units into it one by one.
Looking good, I said ill go for Necron but I might go for Nids, Im more in it for the making.painting anyway. Any1 want a necron Codex? £6. Half price.
Cem, keep your receipt and just exchange it for a Tyranid one if possible?
I'm thinking of mixing up a thin, dark blue wash to put over my models instead of the thin black one, it might tie in the cold theme i want.
Got back of holiday, so i have about 80 quid of spending money left over. Going down later to buy a Zoat, a Hive Tyrant and the new rulebook. I really doubt i'll have a 1500 pt army by the meet-up, but i'll get what i can.
dont 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 want a decent one that i'm going to use again, not just something thrown together so i have an army to use once and lose with.
I agree. Don't worry Jamie, you can still definitely play in the combat patrol tournament so no big deal.
Painted 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.
Sounds cool. We could always play a 1000 point or 1200 point game.
Gonna 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.

Oh, and heres a Rhino i've painted up for my friends Black Templar army.


That is a great Rhino. Cant wait to see that Orc, how are you going to strip the paint ?
Well, 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.
Did you.. paint HIGHLIGHTS on the two siren-looking things and the wheel???!?!?!?!? NO! THERES MORE!! HIGHLIGHTS ON THE FUCKING SIDE AR-
Wait wait, it's probably just the light. Yeah, no-one goes into that much trouble to paint a fucking rhino.. haha... hahha..........
Fuck you jamie maude and the horse you rode in on, you fucking shit fuck. I'm not reading this log again, it's too depressing.
I highlighted everything, so yes the siren things. And all the edges are highlighted Codex Grey.
This is what i did yesterday. Just did the skin, shaded and highlighted it, painted and highlighted Tongue and teeth/claws, then painted the gauntlets and highlighted them.

Heres the pretty much final version, need to paint the base still.


Looks sweet man. Brings back memories of Oblivion for some reason! :D
jamie your seriously a BOSS painter!
and sage, your a pussy =)
