Better take a break from detail heavy models and come back at them with renewed vigor afterwards! Otherwise it becomes a chore and motivations metals like snow under the sun.

And yes, I will keep using literarily translated french idioms here and there for as long as I post on this forum!!!

No prob! Good advice, and the ‘costs one of your balls’ idiom was great.

Thanks! GeeDubs sure as hell isn’t, so it falls on us enthusiasts to carry the tradition. I invite you to do the same, if you can.


I’m currently painting the Chaplain and Dread some more. I’ll probably be hitting the sack a bit later, but it’s worth it for the cool minis, right?

'Awsum' is the highest rating I can give something based on quality. Example: I would call it an 'Awsum' AWS-8Q instead of an 'Awesome'
Yes-Close To The Edge is the best song of all time and I'll virus bomb/PPC anyone who says otherwise

Actually, my marines are also firstborns I picked second hand. But I'm quite overwhelmed with the amount of side works I have to do for people and parishes and just can't manage hobby time anymore in the last 3 months. Not before some time yet I think.

I finished the chaplain last night…or morning… god I was up late.
I couldn’t finish all of the dreadnought, sadly. After I was done highlighting the chappy, it just wasn’t happening. Sorry, everyone. I will finish him very soon though. AoP is today, so I’ll be leaving for the store soon. For now, enjoy some bad photos before I can take new ones.

Thanks! I do like how the model's pose has him soaring forward, looking like he is both holding his crozius high to inspire his brothers, and about to bonk a heretic right in the face. More sneaky marines is always a good thing, good luck finding a colour!

Thank you! And Congratulations, for you are the 100th reply! I guess as a reward you can pick, Apothecary, or Lieutenant, which would you like to see finished first?

No catch here. I don’t have a monkeys paw. How would I paint minis then ?

I’m giving Retromancer the choice, as both are basically just pimped out tactical marines so they won’t be hard to paint. Also he’s the 100th reply, so I figured, Kark it, might as well let him choose.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Full Tactical Squad photos will be posted when I’ve finished the last 5 marines. If finishing a chaplain in a few hours is possible, a marine every couple days should be no sweat.

Dear readers, I have some news to report. Photos of the AOP entry will be uploaded 2mrw. It was on from the 28th of september to the 5th of october, I could not pick them up on the 5th cuz I was at Essen Spiel '24, got a bit of a haul from there as well. I'll be sure to upload that! I picked them back up today. My tactical squad I ordered to mix with mkiv bits to make a pair of assault squads, the boltgun section of a devvie squad and some Sternguard has not arrived yet, so I decided to fulfill an idea I had lately. Paint some Catachans! A guard playing friend of mine, put together the outline for a good 1k list. I plan on using some old metals mixed with some old plastics. I will hold out on painting them for a while, and io also have some more...quirky non-warhammer military guys to paint. I really want to make blogs for them at some point, so I will plan on getting quite a lot of Blood Angels finished before those. Then I will likely take a bit of a break from this blog. Big words, I know, for someone who has not uploaded a lot of minis painted to this blog, but I figure there's gold to be mined there. This won't be the end of this blog, this has become my main army, and I plan on playing a game real soon. Yup! An actual game with firstborn marines, and in 10th edition no less! Not exactly a common sight.

Well, I've flapped my beak enough for one day. Expect some WIP build fotos tomorrow.

the AOP photo I promised:


I also won a Bronze medal in best painted for the category I entered these in. My shop's 'younger people' or whatever they called it category only had me and a much-younger 11 year old boy, who won Gold I think. Good job, he's definitely not reading this, but that's especially impressive for how many stormcasts he painted. So yeah, it wasn't quite as legitimate as a reward I guess, as the store manager I'm cool with awarded the well, awards himself, instead of the votes, because there were FAR more impressive paintjobs there, and there was no indication it was a speperate category. But, who cares? The main sell was being able to display my minis in that shop, I've spent a lot of time there, and this army would not have happened if I hadn't started painting there. So that's a bonus I guess!

Batrep pics will be posted tmrw. I’m sorry to say this, but I have some news… good or bad, depending on how you look at it. I know all of you have come here to look at Firstborn Blood Angels, and I know not a lot of painting has been posted, but I’ve been feeling a little burnt out lately. I have so many minis is various stages of WIP and I think o need something easier to take my mind off of it… Catachans.

Now, what does this mean for the blog? You are definitely asking.
Well, nothing really. I still love my Blood Angels, Ijust want to try something new out.

Will I abandon this blog? Of course not. I’ve had too much fun posting and painting here for that! I simply just want to take a break for a bit. Like a month, month and a half, maybe? I don’t quite know. I still have plenty of cool minis to paint, and conversions which I only hope can mimic a fraction of the cool factor to post here. Like, you can expect a custom Chaplain, a full tactical squad, a terminator librarian, kitbashed on-foot one, et cetera.

But I’m not going to stop posting on Dakka for that hiatus, I’ve made the decision to start a Plog for the Catachans (expect some old metals and plastics), so if you enjoy older models, metals, and the finer aspects of this blog, I have something for you to chew on for the time being.

I know this is very sudden, and out of nowhere, but I hope you all understand.

See ya, space cowboy.

(Again in a month, I mean)

Nope, that Plog's dead in the water... for now at least. Probably better to start an individual blog. Side note, does anyone here remember BrotherSRM? He hasn't posted here in years, before my time on DakkaDakka. He writes for Goonhammer nowadays, but it's worth checking out his old SM and IG blogs, huge inspiration for my P&M Blogs, even though I joined long after he left.

Thank you so much! This really means a lot, nice to see a fellow fan post here. I'll be keeping an eye on your Flesh Tearers blog, I almost regret choosing the 'vanilla' chapter of the Sons of Sanguinius. You can expect another chaplain in a month or so, I'm sure you've seen the post about putting this project on hiatus. Again, I appreciate you commenting here! Thanks!

If you’re anything like me, I flip flop from projects anyway. I started my flesh tearers when space marine heroes came out and got distracted 😅 Seems i won’t be using any of the models I originally bought. So I’m sure you’ll take a break from that soon enough.

I was original meant first tearers back in 4th Ed, but that turned into a blood ravens army (which Ive mainly sold now). I did blood angels back in 2nd Ed, they are a fun army, but tearers seem a better fit. Good with the Catachan, they should be fun to paint.
