So I have decided to post up my work of all the things I have just laying around. Been doin' this for about 3 years now.

This was my first model



From this point I got better and ended up with these.

Terminator Marine


Codicer


My end goal for my Space Marines is to have a "Full Chapter," but as of now I am working on the 3rd Battle Company with support elements. Fluff and Organization soon to come as these guys diverge a bit from the standard Codex.

Make way For the KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA! TRUE SONS OF DORN!!
But There is more to just Space Marines. I also have a small force of Orks and Chaos Space Marines as well. So much to do Sooooooooooo little time.

Well I hope I can keep this up and share with ya'll what I can. Gamer ADD and all.

The 1000pt Army that I want done before the new year.
We will be using the Imperial Fist chapter tactics.
HQ


Troops


Fast Attack


Elites


Heavy Support


I am slowly workin on all this as RL always rears it ugly head when I want to work.

Got Base colors down and the first wash.

Devastator Squad


Tactical Squad



Slowly Chuggin along on these guys.

Let me know what yall think.

Little work on a Sergeant for the 6th Squad. Still needs edge highlights and work on the banner.

So a quick brake from the Knights to work on my fungus infection lol.

Here are the Orks of the Death Skulls Clan

The Warboss


Nobz



And a big shoota boy


These guys do still need some work on the as the Warboss has basecolors down, Nobz one needs more work and the other has only basecolors, and the boy needs work too.

There will be more orks, as I have 2 sets of AOBR Orks. Need to get some vehicles for them to loot the battlefields. Got a War Towtruck in mind for them. They will be a 1000pt list for them as well.

So it has been a VERY long time since I have posted anything here. The holidays, Family, work, and an extreme dry spell placed a big dent in my hobby time. But now is the time start it up again.

So I started up some modeling and kitbashed a new Captain for my 3rd Company. But I'm having an issue. With some part I had I also updated the old Captain as well, and can't decided which one I like the best. Both have the same load out of Storm Bolter and Relic Blade.

So I leave it to you my fellow dakkaites, which one looks better?

Updated 3rd Company Captain


Alt 3rd Company Captain


Help would be greatly appreciated as well as any criticisms and suggestions

So played my fist game in a long time against Necrons and got ROFLstomped. Man I need to get better at the game.

Busy, busy, busy. Real life always getting in the way, but got a little hobby time to myself to do some work.

Started painting the New Captain and just have some details left on him.



Also kitbashed a Chaplain for the 3rd Company.



As all ways C&C welcomed

So got some hobby time and painted up some of the devastators. For some odd reason I have Gamer ADD and jumped from the Captain and went to the Devs. Anyhow some paint got used up and that's a good thing.

Missile Launcher Marine and his Assistant Gunner.




Still Wip need to do details on the Asst. and more work on the ML marine.

As always C&C welcomed and highly encouraged.

I really like your scheme, and the painting itself is very nice, too.

Nice work homemade chapter? or an official one?

@Shredsmore: Thanks for the kind words.

@Jehan-reznor Homemade for a campaign I have planed for all my armies.

So had some hobby time since the kid is taking a nap. Work continues on the Devastator Marine with Missile Launcher. He is almost done.





But in some sort of absent mindedness I colored the base rim black instead of Graveyard Earth. I just dont know if I like the black more or not. Let me know what ya'll think.



As always C&C welcomed.

So I had A LOT of time to myself and knocked out some painting on the 3rd Company Captain.





I feel I did a good job on him but if any of you see anything let me know.

Now as for the Name of this guy, I'm at a loss. I'm wanting to follow the Imperial Fists way of German names, but I also want to go the Anglo-Saxon way as well. The way I see my chapter is a bunch of Knights protecting the Realm of Man from the forces of those that would destroy.

So let me throw out some names...

Knight-Captain Melchior or Knight-Captain Godmund.

Let me know what you all think.

Beautiful paintjob, my friend. And I cast my vote for Godmund.

@Warboss-Waaazag: Thanks for liking my new Captain. I dont have much of a gaming group down here, so no one to get input from. Tried my wife but she hates my Space Marines.

As for the names, I'm going to go for the Anglo-Saxon style names. So Capt. Godmund it is.

As for the painting still working on the Devastator Squad to get it finished. Started to work on the base colors and first layers. So hope by next Wednesday they will be done. Hope....

So day 2 of my week long vacation. My buddy and I sat down to talk about Codices, and I have decided to go with the Space Wolves Codex. The reason mostly for this is the fact I like modeling new figures all the time. And with the Wolf Guard I can get some really cool looking knights for my army.

So now my 1000 pts list has changed into a more Rapid Response Force. Will post Pictures and list at a later date.

So went to make my new Wolf Lord with Storm Shield out of an old teminator Storm Shield, and it went BADLY.

So I was going to use this guy


Removed the Storm Bolter. Came off very easily, no problem. Got a chainsword arm wacked it off. Got the Storm Shield, did some minor shaving of some parts. Got them ready for pining, and BAMM! While using super glue is sprayed all over the shield and my desk. Got on my fingers, the desk, and ruined the Shield. So now I have to order some bits and try again.

I just think that guy didn't want the Storm Shield.

So finished the New Knight-Captain. After the super glue incident, spent quite some time cleaning that shield.

Here he is, Knight-Lord (count as Wolf Lord) Caedric



And here are the Knight Guardians (count as Wolf Guard)

So been gone for a while, but work SLOWLY goes on with the Knights. By switching to the Space wolf codex the one unit I always wanted were the Thunderwolf Cavalry. Just something about mounted Space Marines really hits me, and with the Knight theme, I wanted to make some.

So this is my rendition of the Thunderwolf Cavalry. I'm calling them Nightmare Riders for the time being.

So this was the first one I made up as a test.




This one gave me some trouble but came out really well.

So I haven't posted anything is quite some time. Real Life and kids always getting in the way of my leisure activities. Work is still being done slowly on the Knight Guardians and Knight Lord. (count as Wolf Guard and Wolf Lord In the SW codex.) With the drop of the new Space Wolf codex, I'm going to have to re-think my list. This is mostly due to the face that Grey Hunters lose the CCW, and some price increases/decreases. I will be posting some pictures of what I have done as well as a new list. But for now I'm off to see the new TMNT movie with the oldest kid. So see ya'll in a few.

So Gits is having a Mantis warrior Challenge, and i decided to join in and get this one done. Its done some great things so far to get me back in the swing of things. I was inspired by Veteran Sergent's True Scaling proccess and wanted to try it out. Mostly as a proof of concept on my part, for my own true scaling projects.

So with this challenge I wanted to go the route of the Inquisition keeping tabs on the Mantis Warriors. So I added a little servo Skull buddy to the model. He is keeping tabs on the Veteran Sergent for any signs of corruption as well as informing those in contact with him of the penitence sentence he must undertake.

So here is a wip shot before priming. The servo skull doesn't have the Writ of Penitence on it yet.


A wip shot of the green part of the armor.


Unfortunately got a bit carried away with painting I forgot to take anymore pics while i was working. But I do have to say, it was fun to paint something other than grey. I do believe that is what made me get into a slump on painting more of my marines in the first place. But now I know to take a break and start other things when things start to bog down.

So new year, new chance to get stuff done.

Well I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Years. I got some new stuff for Christmas that I have been wanting for quite some time. My lovely wife got me the Battletech Intro box set, and I couldn't be happier. Been a big fan of Battletech since playing Mechwarrior 2 on my Dad's old PC. Spent a long time in front of that screen, I'm surprised I don't need glasses at this point. Didn't get anything new for 40k, as I have plenty sitting in boxes. So new year, time to get craking.

For this year I have decided to do the following things,

1. Paint 1000pts of Knights of Cydonia. (My homebrew Chapter, SW Codex)
2 Paint 1000pts of Black Legion CSM. (CSM Codex)
3. Paint 4 Battletech Mechs for House Davion.
4. Paint 4 Battletech Mechs for House Kurita.

So the cool thing is I'm almost done with a complte squad. Not just a one off or special but an actual sarad.

So some shots...



C&c always welcomed.

Well it's taken some time, but I FINALLY got a whole troop choice done. It's only taken me like what... 4 years. Lol. Got to say I'm pretty proud of myself for getting them done. Now i have to do their transport and kinda not looking forward to it. Just got to bite the bullet and get it done I guess. Will prime it tomorrow when I get the chance.

But here they are in all their Glory to the Emperor, the 3rd Knight Squad (Grey Hunter count as) under Knight-Guardian Wulfgard



So there you go, first squad done for the new year. As always C&C is welcomed.

So it got warm enough for me to go out and prime the Rhino Transport for the 3rd Squad. It aint much of an uppdate but its something. Maybe sometime down the line I'll make and paint up some Space Marine crew for the tanks.

Here it is on it's custom priming stick.

Looking really cool mate. Like the look and feel of the models mate. Great job and keep up the good work.

Nice marine force you have there.

Hey thanks a lot guys, really appreciate the comments. Slowly working on base coating the rhino. Should have a pic by this afternoon. Kinda scared doing the tank for some reason. I guess its all the flat surfaces. Well... back to painting I guess.

It’s not that vehicles are hard, they are just so…big. It’s daunting looking at all the space, and your tiny little brushes. But the longest journey begins with a simple step, so just start and eventually it will get done.

So shot from the desk, and base colors done. Just learned, painting tracks is a pain when they are attached.

That mounted space marine is a hoot, haha, you preping for the rumoured UltraKnights that will be coming to WHFB?

WTF is an Ultraknight, I just want to use them as Thunderwolves. Now I have to go look it up.

Another shot from the desk. Got the Primary Colors on the Grey armor an Blue accents.



Next up is a wash in select areas, then clean up of washed areas, and then highlights/details.
