Looks good! Well done!

@comrade- Yeah, busted. Screwed up the door. I didnt even notice till I posted. Funny how that happens.

@eldartau1987- Thanks again sir.

And, the Ravenwing speeder is done. I cant decide if I am happy with it or not. Anyway....

I think the speeder looks a little bland. Do you plan on doing any basing on the flight stand?

You need to drill those barrels.

BARREls and or other option is to green stuff pancakes on them and shoot pancakes on people

It looks flat, but flat isnt every bad. I like it.

Looks good, better than mine...it is still in pieces cuz I'm scared of the silly assembly

@Reaper- I know. It's going tobe one of my projects to fill time till new models.

@comradepanda- I was going for bland. I figure big time pilots wouldn't want banners and stuff creating drag and getting I their faces. But it makes for a dull model so I may throw some on.

@Lucazi- dude you gotta put that thing together it's going to look great. But you are right to fear assembly. It's a beating.

Just a few shots of the scouts. I decided to go with the metal snipers that have been languishing in my bits box forever. I think the Desert Yellow on the cloak actually matches up well with the grass.

I like the camo pattern you did, was it free hand or another technique

I like the camo pattern as well. I notice you don't do lens effect. Any specific reason?

These guys aren't done, I just posted some WIP shots since I haven't put up and pics lately. Glad you like the camo. Should work out well.

And the scouts are all done. I tried something a little different. I reasoned these guys would be crawling around a lot so I brushed weathering powder over the whole mini, not just the feet and knees. Trying to go for the really dirty look. And they are 15 year old metal guys.

They look really really good, did'nt relise they were the metal ones untill you said.

@bigfish- Thanks man. I have 10 more I havent got the will to paint. I dont know why, but those old metal scouts are a beating to paint.

On that topic, I think I have done all I can with these guys until the new stuff comes out. So, these guys are on ice until GW decided to give the First its due.

Ok, here is an army shot to date. Its the following squads: 3 Tactical, 1 Devastator, 1 Assault, 1 Deathwing, 1 Scout, 1 Command, and1 Ravenwing Attack Squadron, Vehicles are 2 Rhino/Razorback, 2 Drop Pods, 1 Deathwing Land Raider, 1 Predator Destructor and 1 Vindicator. I figure when the new stuff arrives Ill beef up the Ravenwing and Deathwing and round out the army to represent a Battle Company. Probably grab a few more tanks too.

Looks good, hopefully they get on the ball and get that new dex out sooner than later!

Looks great all together! I can't wait for the new codex either!

Excellent army shot.

Alright, I am pretty excited about Dark Vengeance. Those models......woof. Anyway I decided it was safe to try another Deathwing squad. I have some Dark Angely bits on them. I was wondering if they would all be wearing robes, glad they aren't. Of course whatever new plastics could be just that. Another thing, I decided the command squad just wasn't doing it for me. I am re-arming them as a Sternguard/Company Veteran squad.

Also a pic of my CSM. Im calling them the Blood Debt. Background is a IG army came home to great glory. Unfortunately a small piece of Chaos something got stowed with the army gear by mistake. So here comes the Grey Knights slaughtering the entire planet just in case someone sees the chaos thingy. One dude survives and swears vengeance! Not a Dark Vengeance, but still!!!

those are sexy chaos marines, love the paint scheme.

Well done! I am glad you are back!

@eldartau1987 and comradepanda: Thanks gents, appreciate you guys hanging around for updates.

So I have finished the Sternguard, much better I think. I have 5 combi-plasma and 1 combi-melta. There will be other opportunities for a command squad. Deathwing coming along too.

sweet!

I think i might do a small Dark Angels Force when the new box comes out. I am not sure yet.

that dirty look just really makes your whole feel of the model fantastic. And the model's face really sells that paint scheme. It gives a true war feel. Simply put, well done.

Panda, eldartau, I really appreciate all your compliments. Unfortunately my 40k madness is kicking in. Im seriously considering a simple green bath for these guys. There were some things I wanted to try on this army and I didnt. I think I can do better on other areas. Hmmm, damn this hobby.

Well, they are you models. I would say though that your first model in an army will never look as good as your last. I think they look great but you are the one that you need to convince!

rather then simple green them as i have been tempted by this fate as well, just work with what you have and spruce that up. A painted army is always better then not. Besides you have a excellent start; add more to them i say.

You guys make good points, but Im thinking new colors, new bases, maybe new Chapter. I mean why not right?

Are you wanting to do a successor chapter?

I don't know. May try a more traditional paint scheme. Maybe one of the successors with quartered livery.
