Wow, lots to post here. First off, I'd like to present you the latest addition to my Deathwatch project - a Black Templar named "Valbrecht".
Two more to go!
Secondly, a new beginning!
To be precisely, the beginning of Terminator squad Secundus - Thunder Hammers and Lightning Claws (which is way cooler than in German, since we call them "Energiehämmer" and "Energieklauen" - both a plural forms, hence the umlaut, which literally translate into "Power hammers" and "power claws")!

Valbrecht looks awesome! I love the green, it really contrsts with the black and white and silver to give him a glowy effect. Where is that power sword arm from anyway? It looks almost necron, but I'm sure it's from some SM kit.

Hi guys! This is the latest addition to my army, a Predator Destructor (which reminds me of a little mistake in the German Codex - they now call the Destructor "Annihilator" and vice versa) named "Virtus", after one of the Roman Virtues (Virtus, Dignitas, Pietas, Auctoritas). The commander's called Aurelius and will be a counts-as Chronus - if I feel like running a list with Chronus, that is. I imagined Aurelias like something between a Space Marine and a football coach - always shouting something like "get them, boys!" or "I asked for your best, not just a mere attempt! Do it, don't just dream of it!"
I'll finish a Chronus infantry model some day soon; first, I'll have to do my Deathwatch squad and four more CC terminators.
Apologies for the terrible picture quality - I'm at my girlfriend's place atm and neither have my lightbox nor proper lighting available...

@ Xenocidial Maniac:
Thanks a lot - and to be honest, I kinda feel the same way
@ Zinderneuf:
Sure you do - you didn't have to paint her. After painting her, I knew why there's the "pain" in it Thank you
@ Viersche:
Great to hear that, thanks. Really can't get enough of that ^^
@ TheAngrySquig:
Thanks - well, a Space Marine can live hundreds of years. He sure is old, but I don't think it matters that much when all that ages is your face
@ Bonde:
Thank you! Exactly what I wanted to achieve. By keeping the main colours as simple and monochrome as possible, details stand out much more.
@ AtariAssasin:
Partially right. The facial hair was done with GS, the hair itself is part of the BA head I used.
--------------------------------------------
Time to show some more stuff!
Spoiler:
I'll start with a close-up shot of Chronus, to prove once and for all he's not suffering from albinism
Next an undead champion which I'll either use for PnP or as part of an undead army (there's tons of these waiting to be painted...). This was kind of a speedpaint, as I definitely didn't want to take 4-5 hours for each of 'em.
Next, a Space Marine Veteran I painted for a friend (that means, in exchange for a miniature painted by him - which I will not post here, since people (including myself ) tend to be too lazy to read descriptions and might confuse it with one of my own).
The name's Alegorius. And I know I messed up the helmet... my friend was happy with it, though. And that's what counts
Last, Donna von Ferdok, my girlfriend's RPG character. It's really funny how close the Reaper model fits her appearance in LARP - it's just a matter of colours.
I was so angry when I saw the pictures - although I tried to paint the face with new colours, I've messed the face up big time. It's not bad when you see it "in person", but photos reveal a lot of mistakes one wouldn't notice at first glance.
Also, as usual with Reaper miniatures, there are some spots I simply couldn't reach. Hell.
Hope you like the new stuff.

Okay, guys - took a loooong break from painting, as it seems. Had to do an internship (is that the right term?) in a school - had a lot of fun, but hardly any time for painting.
Well, here's the new stuff, starting with two devastators:
This is Brother Titus. Have an educated guess where his pose and name came from
And I also found my oldest painted miniatures - painted some before that, but unfortunately, I sold them looong ago.
*sniff*
They're ancient!

@ Imperial Monkey:
Hope? What for?
Being saved by superhuman heroes?
Exterminating heresy and treachery? ^^
@ DjinsK:
Thanks a lot - so you didn't play Space Marine? Captain Titus is the protagonist in that game, and that's where I got the inspiration from. Brother Titus is holding his gun the same way Captain Titus does when he's running ^^

The picture you see here is the smaller one; for the bigger one just click the link below it. I just thought posting a pic that's 900 px wide isn't nice to most internet connections...
And lest I forget - here's the Latin text on the parchment and also an attempt at translating it into English:
"Imperator Pater Dominusque noster
In nomine tuo semper pugnabimus
cum legionibus proditoribus"
-> "Emperor, our father and lord,
in your name we will always fight
the traitor legions".
