I've worked on my Marines as much as possible without stripping/painting or buying bitz for them. This was the easy part. Before I start buying weapons and what not to fix them up (some are missing weapons now and the like) I'm going to strip EVERYTHING. NOTHING will be painted, and then once I have all existing units 100% built I'll begin painting. I have their color scheme in my head, it will be a dark red almost brown with black accents. Their chapter symbol, will be striped panties. And that's all I've got so far.

So my first company needs the other halves to both assault termy squads, three sternguard squds and the vanguard squad. And then two more full squds (I might get FW termies)

Second company only needs 5 bolter marines for one dev squad and another full assault squad then it is done.

Seventh company.....is almost non existant.

And the tenth company has a whole ten scouts! Xp but I need to get more to fix the squad load outs anyway so ya...

And yes, I suck at taking pictures...please bear with me and my cell phone camera.

Alright, striping has begun. I've never done this before so I'm more than a little nervous. As I type this over half of my sace marines are sitting in a bath of simple green (slightly diluted). I don't think I got enough...

After 24 hours of soaking in simple green I can get most of the paint off. All that is left is the black pimer tinited red. But all the older minis that have enamal paint or were clear coated are proving troublesome so they need to soak longer.

These guys have been soaking for almost 2 weeks now, and still they don't want to lose their paint. Am I doing something wrong here?

I know it's been a LONG time, but I have been working on it! I have several...several projects going all at one so I jump from one to another.

As it stands about half my marines are airbrushed the rest are primed and waiting. Some models seem to turn out brighter than others, but all standing together they don't look that bad. I've also been working on Flames of War, Warmachine, Infinity models, as well as 120 zombies. So I know it's taken a while but I haven't stopped.

So ive kept expanding my army, mostly the imperial guard part. And got a bit of painting done.
