Ok this is the first time I’ve done anything like this so cut me a bit of slack. First of all my spelling is...well ruff to say the least so I will try and put everything I post through word before I post it if I don’t just a simple post or PM will do and it will be changed if your really want it to. Second my painting and modelling aren’t of pro standards or really anywhere close so if you have any tips tricks or tutorials feel free to post them. All comments are welcome.

This Blog will be about my many army’s (if you can call them that) and to try and improve my P&M "skills". The armies are Ultramarines, custom chapter to be played as Dark Angels or Space Marines, custom Imperial Guard legion (right word??) and Thousand Sons. This will probably be expanded as time goes by.

Well I’m going to start off with my Dark Angels for now. I need a name for them there a biker army and I’ve used Grey Knight bits and a light grey and red colour scheme. So any suggestions are welcome I would like Knight/s or Templar/s in the name somewhere.

Next post witch will probably be up before any one reads this will hopefully have pics in it (if I can figure out how to use Dakka Dakka)



Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ok first of all this army is inspired by Knightley's Grey Knights (bit more then I originally thought...ops ) so a shout out to him there will be a link at the bottom (if I remember).

K this is the first peace in my army and it’s taken from planning to finish like half a year (and it still looks average) most of that time was taken up by school and lack of money and job (this means that it will be long times between posts on this Blog).

K here it is my average looking hover bike conversion.









K now the next pic is of a Tec Marine I did in my spare time this is just to show the colour scheme. It’s not finished...I really should maybe I will do that tomorrow??



K now the next pic is of my next project let’s hope someone will be reading this before I finish it because I want someone to guess what it is.



Now I’m sorry for the horrible res but I did it on my phone.

And a link to Knightley's Blog

Hey Daxx,

Looking good! I suspect the last guy is going to get a heavy weapon of some kind, perhaps a chaingun he uses instead of a storm bolter?

If you are open to comments, I would trim down the barrel of the minigun by half, take out a middle just behind the beginning of the barrel and trim down the rear section, I would do this because the weapon is massive and to me I would like to have some resemblance that he could carry it (I know 40k where aliens and men in armour fight to the death, where's the resemblance there)

The Techmarine concept is solid, is that an old school bolter I spy?

I'm trying to get a good look at the bike however the pictures look a little washed out but form what I can see it looks great be proud of your efforts!

Thanks well on the first guy close but not right he will be from the SM codex.
On the Techmarine is an old school bolter one of my old friends gave me some of his stuff it looked right to put on a Techmarine.
And with the bike once i have some paint on it and its day i will have some new pics.

Ok I'm back with more pics.

I have changed the idea for the back ground of the chapter.

They are the remnants of any chapter's that have turned or have been wiped from the face of the galaxy.
They use bits off there enemy’s...which is everyone at this point. They have more Dark Angel and Grey Knights parts because they try to hunt down the "Traitor Warband".

Hope you all like the updates and any suggestions are welcome for the next members of the squads.
