Well I have been greatly motivated by all the great blogs I have read on here. I have been a lurker on here for quite some time and only recently joined. And now I have decided to get off my but and get my army finished up. I am more of an avid collector then anything, as I have very little time to actually play. I drive a truck for a living through the week, and have 7 kids and 4 grandkids that usurp my time (not to mention my husbandly duties and honey-do lists
lol). I have vowed to myself to get this done as I love the thought of having a well painted army to love and admire, even if it is just upon a shelf in my future game room
First a very poor quality pic of the army as it stands now. I promise to get /find my better camera and see how that does. This is not the completed army, as I am missing a few things to make it "my ideal" force, and I will list those after the pics.
Next up is my Command Squad led by Commisar Yarrick, the Standard bearer is a pure
GS sculpt I bought off of Ebay, a true one of a kind find!
My Veterans, I am using my Arbite forces for these. I actually have 4 full 10 man squads. I plan on putting them in
FW Repressors, as anything else just seems sacreligious to the Arbite Image. The Squad Leader on the left is a conversion using the the Emp's Champ and the Combi-bolter from the scout biker sqd. I'll post a closeup if anyone wants one.
My Valkyrie, 1 of 3 I plan on having for the army.
A scout sentinel squad, just love the way the look and myriad ways you can pose them.
Just a few of the many planned Leman Russ's, and 3 of the 14 Chimeras I am gonna need to make this a Mechanized force.
And my quick change Stormblade that can make just about any version that I need.
I still want/need to get (most will wait til after the holidays to get tho):
3
FW Enclosed Basilisks
2 Valkyries
2 Leman Russ's
11 Chimeras
and a Gorgon
I am wanting to add a right proper commander for them, as it really the one model the Steel Legion is really missing. I just need to find someone that can do
GS modeling on commission, If anyone knows anyone or can point me in the right directio I would greatly appreciate it.
As I said I don't have alot of time, but I will paint something each week and get it posted ASAP, for the Dakka world's scrutiny and comments. I think with this great community's pushin I can get this done.
Thank you.

My High Marshall conversion :

And your general run of the mill troop types:
Hope they meet your approval
