Hey guys!
Thanks for reading my, or what I hope to make my, Blog. I am going to be painting, baseing, and assembling all three army's I have here. These armys are Space Marines, who's codex is up in the air (Either C:SM or C:BA), my Witch Hunters, and WFB Vampires, which for me is really a zombie horde. I am hoping to have this updated at least once a week. Please leave a comment and tell me what you think.

Okay, so the first update. Its the most important right? My lighting was terrible, and my shaky hands messed up a lot of pics, so I have less than I would have liked.



So here is all I have got so far. It's part of a sterngaurd squad, my Captain (who, god willing, will get a MAJOR overhaul once I can get my grubby hands on the Death Company box), One terminator, and a WIP landspeeder. Not much, but its all I have painted to a standerd I believe to be worthy of this update. Note that most haven't been fully based, and the combi melta and the Landspeeder is a WIP.


Close up of the Landspeeder.



Whats sad is THIS was the best looking infantry picture.



My finished mini's holding me hostage, telling me to finish their buddy's.



Front of one of my inquisitors retinue. A Mordian officer model that I couldn't live without.



His rear. I rather like the green.



Two-thirds of what I have to paint or give a simplegreen bath to and THEN paint.

And before I leave you with a rather meager update. I give you how my painting skill has improved. Left is now, and right is when I started. (Quality issues, but you can still tell its a major leap.



Well, that's it for now. I hope to have the sterngaurd and speeder done by next weekend. Maybe the officer too.

May the Emperor Protect.

Hey guys!

As promised, I have an update for you today. I think its about the same time as my last update, so lets begin. Oh, and a note before I start: I didnt get nearly as much done as I wanted. Instead of four minis and the speeder, I got to two and a half and the speeder.



First off, I give you this. Its a mini from each of the three armies I play: Space Marines, Vampire Counts, and Witch Hunters. They are in various stages of being painted.



Land speeder all painted and washed. I like the clear base, so I am not baseing it. It would look weird too.



Sternguard sergeant all painted up. Not washed as of posting this, but that will be done by tomorrow.



Started this guy just before I had to clean up for dinner. Probably when of the best quality pictures I have taken on a mini that is no where near being done.



6 man sternguard squad with captain joined up with them. They haven't failed me in a game yet.


All my fully painted minis. Look amazing in my opinion. Still have trouble with the snow basing however.



To keep the fantasy people happy, I painted a skeleton up as a test model. Turned out good, although hes a little blue.

And finally, a picture I am now where near proud of, but needs to be posted. My old painting technique yeilded these guys. What the local bunker calls the "poop marines". They, along with their razorback, are some time soon getting that simpler green bath.



Another thing I am going to add is my plans for the first week of April. You see, after looking through the Blood Angels codex, I fee like my build and fluff would work better with Blood Angels. So I am going to pick up the Blood Angels codex and a box of the amazing Death Company. Time to try out a shooty Blood Angels army.

Thats all folks. See you next week with hopefully a fully painted stenguard squad, and the start of the LOOOOOOONG tac squad paintings.

EDIT TO FIX PICTURES.

Picked up my BA codex and a box of Death Company today. Painting all week with a possible two guard games this friday-saturday. Pics latter today.

(Just adding on to save online trees)

Alright, got my Codex and Death Company today. LOVE the death Company box, and with the help of SniperJolly, an extra Death Company Marine. So, because at posting time its 11:30PM, lets begin. And quaility Problems all around.



There are my 6 death Company.



3 of them.



The Other 3.



And an Oddly clear picture of all 6 in there drop pod with the Codex as a background. Creepy how clear it came out.

Hey there guys.

Haven't updated in a week, so I thought I might share what I have been working on. With my first game with Blood Angels coming up, and my PS3 cosplaying as a brick, I have been working on Death Company. Here's what I have done at the time I took the pictures.



My Death Company, Vindicator, Drop pod (unprimed), AOBR dread, and Inquisitor at my work table.

I would show the Death Company photos, but they are so blurry it looks like a black blob with red X's. You can look at em in my gallery if you REALLY want to.

So, I will tell you guys how my game(s) went on Friday. Until then see yah.
