Not that it really feels like much after seeing some of these pictures, but...



Roughly 8,300 points of Ultramarines, about half unpainted. Saving up for Christmas presents at the moment, but come January I intend to about double this and also throw in a Titan (finally) and 3-4 Baneblades.

I bought my first AoBR box about a year ago, and since then I've pulled together everything in this pic, 2000 points of Necrons, 1500 points of Orcs, about 1000 points of Tau, and around 6000+ points of WHF Ogres. It's a very, very addicting hobby, lol! I'm slowly working up to you guys that have been playing for years ans years, but as of right now I see these pics and think things like, "If I sold my TV/360/MTG collection/car I could buy some more Terminators/Land Raiders/a Baneblade."

Yes, I did consider selling my POS car for the cash to get a Spear of Sicarius and some other stuff. Is there a hotline I can call?

The amount of unpainted models in this thread is making me cry. Props to General Mayhem and that nice mini-apocalypse battle report though. Nothing stirs the blood like hundreds of painted models killing each other on a nice battlefield.

Well I'm working on it...nearing the finishing stages of another 13 gaunts (taking my total finished gaunts up to 35) and my flyrant and 2 guard are complete. Also a couple of fexes have been completed since I took the pic (about 2 months ago).

It's slow progress though.

Staying on topic some of these army sizes are very humbling.

OOOHH! Niddies!

Apocalypse description thread!


I wonder if this is the only thread that contains a miniature hello kitty water cooler.

I could post mine but transporting all of that is a pain my van is sick and my roller skate can't fit it all.
but here is some of it

Thunderhawk needs finishing

Wow guys, I've got to tell you, seeing this thread and its posts really opens my eyes. The fact that some of us has so much commitment to the game and the army they play makes me feel all warm and fuzy inside. It really makes me remember why I started in the first place!

I guess if I had stuck to a single army I'd be enjoying forces this big by now. But hey, I suppose some of us just like to dabble in other armies.

Those of you who have enough unassembled NIB models to start your own GW store, you do not impress me. Let's see them assembled! Let's see you in the battle!

And when you get there, you can face off against my Ork Army! WAAGGHHH!

DANG!

Even though the number of Orkses in your pictures happen to be insane, that still does not permit you to scream "WAAAAAAGH!" at the start of every assault phase.

The lack of FW super heavies or any super heavies in this thread makes me cry

I think I posted 7 superheavies with mine and with with 6 missing :( May not be a huge amount but it still was posted! GOSH

ITS A FLAKKING TRICERATOPS.( Squiggoth, amirite)

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES.

Here are a pics that has a bit of my Guard army, and some of my friend's Eldar. All done in an even grey pattern with some bare-metal highlights:





And Planetstrike can be like Apoc, right?

now thats what im talkin about

I love the fact that in that HUGE Eldar mechanized force, theres 2 Fire Prisms. But your in luck, Falcons are hella fun to paint.

With all the money spent in this tread, I could retire. At 35.

Some amazing armies guys! I especially like HBMC's painting technique.

Could you maybe post a tutorial on your style?

Well, If you look into the Planetstrike book, towards the back there is a picture of Orks assaulting a Tau world, and the Orks have a Stompa, so I would assume yes.

I heard a request for forgeworld there were two in my last post but here is another one



Solorg any time you want to take that little waaaaaaaargh to Portland to take on some marines give me a call.

Good call basing Ann'grath with skulls. I will have to do that.

Yes yes, all hail the skulls!

Well he is one of the chief head takers

Seriously?

It's the FW prices and quality control that makes me cry.

That and the amount of unpainted plastic and resin in this thread.

i officialy refuse to play against unpainted armies

BAM!

Since my pic was taken (about 3 months ago) I have now painted a lot more gaunts. My dakkafex is undercoated and have made a start on it. 2 tyrant guard are finished and the 3rd is well underway. Undercoating my 2nd tyrant (though I have since purchased a third). And instead of having 3 complete gaunts I now have 35 complete with another 8 basecoated and ready for the beginning stages.

I must say the new nid dex is a real nudge for me in the right direction.

Hehe, I always feel bad fielding unpainted things, but time constraints get in the way, as well as the fact that I can't stop buying things.

I finally finished my Marines and started to paint, and then I went a little crazy and wound up with 2 boxes of Assault Marines, 2 boxes of Devastators, the Calgar box, some new Ogre Kingdoms stuff and a FW pre-Heresy Land Raider, so I had to build those.

Then I tried to get back to painting, and someone knocked the store demo board off the table, so I had to spend a few days repairing broken Orks and armless Termies!

Now my boss wants a Wood Elf army on top of the Tyranids I'm putting together for her, and now that I've seen the new 'nids I have to save up for some, and I just got a near-Apocalypse sized force of Necrons that all need to be repainted...dammit I don't have that kind of time.

sorry, /rant. Anyway, what I was getting to is that I don't always necessarily have time to paint everything, but I DO pretty much make sure that everything I field is at least basecoated well and looks nice on the table. The only exception is if someone comes in wanting to play the same day that I'm putting something together that's actually in my army list.

I still get teased about the day I decided my Ogre army needed another Butcher and grabbed one off the shelf, only to be pulled into a game within 10 minutes. I glued the Butcher's legs to his base, set it on the table and started apologizing, Lol.

Anyway, two weeks 'till my store hosts its big Apoc game, and it'll actually be my first game ever (and I'm now in charge of it ><, so I'll be posting pics. We're trying to keep it to 20,000 points a side, but I have a feeling it's gonna hit around 30k. God help me!

Hmmmm my yellow Imperial Fist force of nearly 3,400 looks shallow to some of these monstrous collections.

Now that's terrain.
