Was rooting through my pics and found some of my current armies (currently finishing off my IG and hope to have them added soon).

I have always like Ulthwe back from 2nd ed and decided to go for a very simple scheme (please note my painting in general is poor!).



I have recently added another Falcon, more DAs and a squad of Warp Spiders to them.



My Wolves are mostly 2nd ed models. Around 1/3 of them are actually my friends, hence the different painting styles/colours on some units (his BCs at the back, Bjorn etc).
He modeled a Razorback using...well Im not sure what he used actually!



Note "Sgt Apone" (circa 1994) standing between the Dreadnoughts on the left - who says there are no colored Marines?
Recently have finished a scout unit for them and a few more termies and have another LFs squad for completion to do.



And finally da Orks
Note the veeeery old Dreadnought top left and the artillary far top right. Most of the other stuff I had to buy brand new - as much as I liked some of the old 2nd ed boyz/bikes etc they were woefully out of proportion/style.



I have about 16 more boyz to do up and then its finally onto Morks brother (Gork - my second Gargant).

I like the armies, but could we get some closeups on the gargant lol?

hehe I think there might be one in my other galleries if you click on them, otherwise I'll see if he'll pose for me over the weekend

Wow, all yours.....
I need more armies.... Mrs. has put me on hold.... got lots of Tau to paint.

It clearly looks like you havent bought anything new in a very long time, but that is perfectly fine. These armies look like they were taken straight our of 2nd edition codices! Excellent work, its a nice change to see armies attributing their paint schemes and styles to the armies of the past! Your space wolves actually look better than many of the newer schemes ive seen. Very nice work (even though I cant make out the details from the pics)

Very impressive display! I'm still pretty new to the hobby, so putting together one army seems like a daunting task, much less having 3!

One question for you about the Eldar - I love the bone and black, and how much the avatar stands out, but do you find that makes him draw a lot of unwanted attention (aka firepower) in games? Unless, of course, that was your goal...

I wouldn't sell yourself short on the painting, you have a lot of attention to detail in the models.

Thanks for the nice replies guys, much appreciated.

@tav The Avatar is a funny one, he was actually painted by my firend waaay back when. I'd actually like to darken him a bit since as you say he does stand out quite a bit but the paint job is better then I can improve on. To answer your question I dont think he attracts more fire becasue of his paint job but more because hes pretty good on the tabletop!

And especially for drag:







And his proud daddy rewarding him as only Orks like

Nice, your arimes kick ass.

I want the old Wolf guard termies and Bjorn the fell handed.

Hahaha, ork machines run on alcohol. Maybe just orks in general run on alcohol. I love big dakka-ie ork models.

Thanks BG, scarily enough I have a 2nd painted Bjorn under my bed!

Hopefully its ok to bump this.
I finished off my Imp Guard this week (apart from a Valkyrie which I really just need to get into!)
So here ya go:



Most of the models are 2nd edition bar the Chimeras and the second platoon squad.



I split the army into two really.
I wanted to have the Mordians as my heavy weapons / tanks since they are a steadfast force, used to laying down disciplined, well aimed fire in the heat of battle. The Catachans I use as a Vet squad from time to time. The Cadians are my mobile shock troops. I intend to paint the Valkyrie in their color scheme too.



I noted the last Chimera I bought was different to my previous two - seems to be a new kitt? I have to say I much prefer the old ones, they were slightly bigger with a lot more options on the sprues.
