In 2011, I:
- build and painted 2000 points of Carcharodons
- build and painted 1500 points of Dark Eldar
- build 1500 points of Lamenters
- started 1750 points of Dark Eldar
- build and painted 1500 points of Chaos Marines

I got about 2500 points of Nids painted up (though I am now re-doing the armor highlighting), 3000 points of BA, which I have sprayed over in order to paint them all DA colors, and another 2k is (some of which is the previous BA).

My plans for 2012
- Model and paint remaining Nid's (modeling already all but done).
- Paint up everything that is modeled before starting anything new.
- Figure out the stupid airbrush.

Loving the assault marines Gits!

In 2011 I

- Joined dakka
- Discovered Inq28
- Began building my retinue

So not very productive !

So many people doing so much wonderful work! Thanks all for posting your progress on my blog. Remember volume doesn't mean everything, as long as your moving forward, you're in good shape.

Well, finished my 3rd assault marine built... little bit of Florentine chainsword action for ya. This is a pose Iv'e had in my mind for a very long time and for a variety of reasons, it was a major PITA to pull off. However, I'm pretty happy with the results. I have one more kneeling pose in mind for my assault marines, but I think I'll save it for the other squad.

This is great!

However I imagin him flailing arround with the swords like a little child that hasn't got his pudding.
Which puts the whole scene in a slightly hilarious light.. ^^

he sort of looks like that blooddrinker guy from VCs

I can just see him being painted in angry marine colors

"Adriiiaaannn"

^Oh, snap! Either great minds think alike or fools seldom differ. He does indeed look very, very cross. Love it, btw.

All he needs is a head on his base and a Khornate symbol and you can imagine him calling out blood for the blood god!

He's a heretic I tell you Gits lol



Man I've been doing Chaos too long...

I should put a quartered space shark on the front of his base for effect...

With a laser on his head?


Sweet build Gits

I can hear him now - 'Jump! It's okay, I'll catch you.'

Is that a wulfen?

It's Konrad Von Carstein. Only now he's kneeling.

Looking good gits.

Edit:- Just realisied this thread is nearly 250 pages long. Nice milestone gits.

Love that pose Gits. Very fierce.

I think it's a BA head... has the medieval "bowl" haircut. I need to get out my engravers as the top of his head/hair is rather featureless... I'll give it a bit of extra character before I paint.

Should have marine #4 done shortly. Will post if I get a bump.

Heh... When I see this guy all I think is "Angry marine is Angry..."

Umm bump!

Looks great Gits, i love hero poses like that! So cheesy

OK, nearly done with the first squad now. Trooper #4. Decided to take it easy on myself & use a pair of legs stock. Still so much fiddling to get the interchangeable back packs... but it worked out eventually.

Looking good Git, Sounds like you had a much more productive year of painting in 2011 then I did...

But I am making up for it in 2012!

Keep up the work!

I actually hope to have a less productive year in 2012 so I can spend more time with my family. So far I've been a painting fool though... so here's hopin' I slack off some.

an honerable goal sir, and this newest marine looks cool, where is his head from?

Number 3 and 5 are looking great, love the fencer!

@Rogue: I'm not certain... picked up sets of bionic bits from a variety of sources.

Thanks CK. Haven't made #5 yet but I'll take the compliment anyway!

Ck is obviously either psycic or like the rest of us know that whatever you produce will be epic!

Well, in the current write-up, marine #5 gets a flamer. Since I probably won't be using BA rules outside of Adepticon, I won't have to worry about giving him an interchangeable backpack, so I'll just make him as a normal flamer armed marine and the fold him into a tactical squad when I'm done. Which means.... I could actually just turn out a regular old beakie flamer marine. Bit of nostalgia there for the faithful. Not very creative though.

Nostalgia is awesome. Also, it's good, sometimes, too not model, but just go with the fig. That in itself provides variety.

lol, that's what I said, except Icouldn't remember his name!



EDIT: and Gits, assault marines can take a normal flamer in the vanilla codex

Gits, It would be really cool if you make these: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_csSY1HRN0Lo/S9GlOcyxLeI/AAAAAAAABEA/DOaEX5ArXmQ/s1600/IMG_0439.JPG

It just shows my faith in you. Consider it a pre-emptive compliment for that old beakie you're gonna assemble for #5!
