I thought I might start posting this up as I go along, maybe I can teach someone a trick or two and it will keep me motivated:

My test models

Teaser pic:

This is just the test models I prepared, but I'll add more content as I go.

Progress so far: 1/103 Infantry, 3/16 vehicles
The tournament is Oct 22nd!!!

The list I am painting is the following:

My list

**Blitza da warboy**

Ooooh looks shiny. I shall definitley see this

**Raatcharch**

I assume you're doing a lot of airbrushing? I looks great so far. I'm curious as to how you do your yellows. Any tips and tricks you want to convey would be most appreciated!

**Fearspect**

I'm definitely going to be doing some step-by-steps down the line, just working on some assembly for the next couple nights.

**Norn King**

Very noooice.

**M0rdain**

Oooo very nice. they look rather cool. Nice to see guard not in green and brown

Well, I thought I'd post up my quick guide about how to assemble the Forgeworld Hydra, maybe someone will find it useful. I did this with a little plasticard, no greenstuff, and it looks pretty good:

Hydra Assembly Guide

Hopefully it helps someone out dealing with this mess. Now, back to painting, updates soon!

**Norn King**

Thanks for the tute!

**shingouki**

Nice colour scheme imo.

**Rabid Ferret**

Curious to see this. It is quite an undertaking. I did 70 guardmen in a two day stretch and it was brutal. Worth it though.

Looking good so far. I love airbrushing and I could not go back to life without mine.

Okay, I made a quick step-by-step of how I painted my Stormtroopers. I decided to knock these guys off early in my painting because they have more details than any other models in the list. First off, the finished product:

(Ready to melta)

Now then, on to the guide:
