Lol, don't worry, that is just day one, I have until tomorrow evening to attempt to impress you. just got done building the last model, painting begins after the trip to the hobby store!

Ok, here are the rhinos. I'll post more once the primer starts to dry. Thanks for all the kind words, knowing you guys and gals are watching helps to keep me going!

Intense. This thread reminds me to get cracking on my army. Good luck with the painting, all that in one day seems daunting.

**BOSS_PIMPALOTZ**

Just went over to 40k basement and read the blog i admire these poor SOB's for doing so much work without sleep.

reminds me over the 50,000 point WHFB siege game I had about 8 or 9 years ago now started at 10am and didnt end till 6-7am the following day with about 10 players per side

oh the intense mind boggling things you can do with this hobby oh well off to deal with technoimpaired douchebags now

adios

**InyokaMadoda**

Good luck sir! A mighty endeavour to undertake!

**Grey Knight Luke**

well good luck, a friend of mine and I are watching this intensely, he said it is impossible for your buddy and you to finish it. So we have a bet, if you finish, I get $20, if you fail, he gets $20.

Good luck, I'm pulling for you.

**MegaDave**

So the army is now completely primed, and painting has begun. Here is the pic of the color scheme I am going to use for the army.

I am going to start with all of the base coats first and focus on the colors green, gold, silver and black. After that detail will be completed.

**Zaephyr**

Looks very good.

**MegaDave**

Not much of an update, but i got a rhino painted, the other two should go even quicker now that I know i like the scheme.

**Sha1emade**

Very nice and very crazy. I wish I had your speed and focus. Keep it up. It will all be so worth it. I will follow this as it will be a great achievement.

**MegaDave**

I got 8 luscious hours of sleep last night, and i woke up promptly at 9 to work on the rhinos and defiler, and they are now finished!

The three rhinos, ready to rumble!

I'm really happy with how the defiler turned out, it looks mean!

**Wrexasaur**

HIGH FIVE!!!

Hot-diggity-dizzam batman, those vehicles look great.

**EzeKK**

**Crazy_Carnifex**

**Green_Ocean**

**MegaDave**

Still forging ahead, I've got 46 models to go, I still think I can make it!

Here I am slaving away over the terminators. Sorry about the hat.

The finished terminators!

The completed Chaos Lord!

The minis left to paint...

... they cry up at me, "Paint us MegaDave, paint us!"

**Sha1emade**

The Dave industrial machine cannot be stopped!!!!!!!!! Paint... paint...paint the people chant!!! Looking good.

**Anti-Mag**

Result! I am not the only person who wears a beanie inside in June. I can sleep soundly now.

Oh, and well done on the industrial hobbying too.

**Deff Dread red Edition**

Looking good thus far.

Get painting though,don't know how late it is there but here it's almost ten pm.Not much of the weeked left.

**Hans_posthumus**

Yeah go for it! No matter if you make it or not, still an awesome prestation!

**Chisow**

WOW
Keep going guy that is a sweet looking Chaos Army. Hope to see at the end of the night finished or not just what your whole army looks like.

**Flashman**

Great colour scheme, good standard of painting and staggering work rate. Have you slept much? You look relatively unhaggard in the photos?

**Dexy**

This makes me feel bad I got 30 unpainted IG on my desk for the past 2 weeks. Looks very nice.

**StubbyGB**

looking very nice indeed. I'm amazed you can attain that quality in such a short time.

you could definitely do this professionally.

**Crazy_Carnifex**

you paint faster than I do, and when you consider my idea of "Painting" for My Tyranids is Black Primer/Foundation paint yellow and Drybrush lighter yellow on the Carapace/Hit the details/Spray w. Gloss Varnish, that is something!
