Ok ive been cracking on with my sallies quite a pace over the last couple of weeks so I thought I had better start a blog on them! Here is my most recent addition that I finished yesterday - the land speeder storm. What a beautiful model but a pain to paint as you have 6 men on the model + you need to paint a squad for when they get off!!! But its done now so im happy. Ive also included a group pic of the army painted so far. - Next project is my LR redeemer

Yeah, first to comment. They look good but you have driven me crazy by not painting their skin black! But besides that, good work!

I would like to apoligise to all those I may have offended in the past. I would also like to apologise to those who I may offend in the future, as I have no intention of ever changing my ways.

Finally, Chaos Space Marines will get a new codex. But instead of a fluff section there's just a picture of Jervis giving the middle finger to HBMC. - Ozymandias

I think they look great - and much better with dark skin.
I always thought the retcon to 'coal black skin and blazing red eyes' was a bit cringeworthy...

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

Gimme gimme! Nice shade of green, keeps them distinct from DA. Can't really squint that hard, but did you paint the footsloggin' scouts to match the speederin' ones? Anyway, good job!
And I agree with you on the skin colour - I would've done them exactly as you've done. to hell with that reverse albino fluff.

Ah. nice job! But you got the flames backwards! The lightest colour is the hottest part of the fire.Anyways excellent job, especially loving the land speeder. Can you show us close-ups of the termies, tacs, com squad, captain and drop pod?

Ive done it both ways on this army and ive decided that I prefer the red to yellow look, I like having more red against the green. Its a big universe, who says that on some worlds fire does not go from red to yellow!
Thanks for all the other nice comments.
I started doing another squad of terminators last night
Oh yeah for closer images of the units by them selves have a look at http://www.modelsnottoys.co.uk

Nice, I love those wounded Space Marine objective markers. And I only meant I preferred the black skin, not the red eyes. I find that part ridiculous.
