Hi, everybody!
Here I am, starting a log about my really big and ambitious projects, to help me keep motivated.
I am building (and painting, of course) an entire 750-man homebrew Chapter of Space Marines, all the while trying to keep up with my Cygnarans.
While my time spent on painting doesn't even come close to that invested in building and playing, this might just be the way to change that.
(Please remember, though, that I am quite new to this, started in 2009, and therefore can not compete with all the great painters on here.)
At the time of this post I have somewhere around 4000points of Marines and my Cygnar army is about 40 points. Most Imperials and all Cygnarans are still unpainted. You will help me change that!
Enough rambling. Pictures! GIANT PICTURES!
Chief Librarian Paltiel.
Edgar the Dreadnought.
Two Tactical sergeants. I call them Regulators.
More to come.

Here are a couple of (crappy) WIP shots of my first attempt at Cygnar.

And since I don't have the blue paints I require for the Cygnarans, work has temporarily stopped.
That means more time for the Marines, and another crappy WIP-shot!
This is Adael, Brother-Regulator of the second squad of [name of first company].
It doesn't show very vell, but his left arm (right in the picture) and shoulder pads are Dark Angels green.

LOL... yea man, what's up with the put-downs on your own work?
The Cygnar looks pretty good to me... suggestions for battle damage, if you wanna up the game? Or blending the blue plates, as they're the most prominent part of the model?
The face on that chaplain guy looks good, maybe drill the barrels of the melta-arm for the Lib Dread, and detail Ezekiel's blade.
Those are minor suggestions though- the current results area actually pretty good and don't warrant a total redo or the harsh self-critiques.
Keep it coming and consider me subscribed!

Well, it's mainly the quality of my WIP-photos I "put down".
The blue on the 'jack is not even close to done, there will be battle damage, and I might even try my hand at blending it a little. Never done that before.
Any ideas on colour for Ezekiel's blade? I'm not so sure about the usual red-to-yellow and how it would go with the rest of the scheme.

I like your 3rd company commander looks really good! As for your paint skill don't sweat it noone started out pro and from the looks so far your ahead of the curb . Have you tried using washes yet? BTW I really like how this is a mix between 40k/ WM .

I curse myself for not sticking to one project until it's finished! And also for attempting to paint ten marines at the same time, geez...
But I've got an update with pics!
First up is Malachai, the Ginger Giant, part of my Beastmen army. (They're pretty much put on hold, haven't even tried 8th yet.)
Here he is on one of my cats, Siri:
Now, half finished Marines!
I am currently working on a squad of Company Veterans. Progress is slow, I want them to look great ( damn perfectionism).
Remember; they are all WIP. Hopefully not for long.

No, but the giant looks awesome. And don't worry about the marines, they'll be fine!

Wow. You actually did some painting on the giant. I'm shocked.
Wich veterans are these? The death company ones or the old ones? I can't really tell with my crummy eyesight.

Thanks Chowderhead! I do like encouragement.
These are both the DC and the Delta ones, I mashed them together into a really expensive unit.

Oh, yes. Thunder hammer and storm shields (which by the way went up 5 points with the latest FAQ)!
This unit of 10 is 200 points, just for the Marines, with 130 points worth of upgrades. Brutal.

Oh, that would be somthing else! I'll never get this out of my head...
Some progress:
Yes, there is a crazy mould line on the flamer, but it's not visible outside of the photo... I swear!

I like his hair. Is that a storm shield or is it just for looking cool? I have no idea what options marines can have.

Yeah, it's a storm shield. Any Veteran can have one, though that would be a lot of points.
His hair? The style or the colour? Because that's just the basecoat.

Geez. Space Marines sure have a lot of toys to play around with.
The style. I think you should cut your hair like that.
I like how they are coming along though. I like the flamer guys pose a lot. I think the squad will look quite striking when it's finished.

Small update. Finally finished ( just basing left) three of my Veterans.
Crappy shot, mobile camera. Better pics when the full squad is done.
And when I finish them, I've got about 300 points of Scouts to paint up for a campaign.

I really have too many distractions!
I abandoned the Veteran squad after I got five guys done, started on five of the Scouts, primed a Chaplain, made a little progress on my Stryker and today I got my Lelith in the mail...
Oh gee, what to do..? Why do I have so many projects?
