Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!
I have started to paint up my Leman Russ.
I applied some Leadbelcher to the tracks. Then I intended to run some Carroburg Crimson over that, but it made it look pink. So I settle for a nice wash of Reikland Fleshshade.
And here's a little more detail that I managed to get done.
All in all, a long way to go yet.
And as requested, here's everything I've completed so far.
Sorry for the quality on some of those pictures. My cell phone is kinda craptacular.
As it stands now I've got the new Astra Militarum/IG codex preordered.
I need to know how badly its going to screw up my army plans before I work on too much else. Here's hoping not as much as the Space Marine codex messed up my Black Templars.
That's all I've got for you guys this time. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.

Well, so far its messed up my storm trooper plans I believe. I don't want to have to buy a separate codex for a couple of squads.
Not to mention GW got rid of their metal storm troopers before I could buy what I needed. So I had to edit my swap shop posting with hopes that I can get Vinz his squad.

I have a couple of pending deals for some more old school storm troopers for my army. Hopefully all will go well and I can include some classic looks in my army.

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!
BEHOLD! The progress on my Leman Russ!!
The Meltas are complete!
And for a tank, she was far too clean, and it just so happens I have 2 pots of the textured paint, so I dirtied her up a bit. (In the visible areas. I didn't want to waste it where people won't be looking anyway)
Then to keep the mud shiny and secure, I brushed some white glue over it.
I think went to work on the Plasma weapons. Some Ice Blue with a bit of blue ink does wonders.
A better view of the Melta
Then I started to apply some color to the main man, Bash.
And some color to the metal bits I stuck on the tank for detail.
Some gold to highlight all the iconography.
And then lastly, here's some overall progress shots. She's coming along quite well I think.
I'm quite pleased with the Meltas. They look nice and rusty. Just as you'd expect Chem-Dog gear to look.
Oh, and a little sneak peek of what I've got planned for when the tank is done.
Booya!

Cam: Are you referring to the copper on everything? Or the Ninja turtle-esque colors on Bash himself?

Please understand I am not criticising, rather the opposite, in fact. The bright green and purple, and bright copper plates on black armour, looks brilliant. Nice to see some colour, instead of the usual drab weathered "Grey" we see so ofen at the moment.

Cam: No no. I wasn't assuming that. I just needed clarification. I agree with the color. I play Black Templars. As a whole, they are dull to paint. Black, white, and a tiny bit of red and silver. Not very fun. That's why I'm enjoying this army so much. The green tarp will get washed with black ink until it looks more tarp-like. I'm gonna pick out some detail with mithril silver next weekend. By the time I'm done, Bash is gonna be riding one sweet tank.

Its a good thing I didn't have plans on including a Marbo.

No, it wouldn't. But as long as GW is GW and they don't listen to their fans they'll raise their prices and make stupid changes every year.

No update this week. My computer at home chose Easter to die.
Plus, ya know, Easter. Familial obligations means no painting time.

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!
I present to you, Bash.
Disobeying Orders
Spoiler:
Commissar Blevins looked down his nose at the scruffy trooper who stood before him. The trooper was doing his level best to not to care. He glanced around the command tent, his eyes falling more than once on the Commissar's decanter of amasec.
"Go over it one more time, Trooper Nash." The trooper winced and held up his finger.
"I prefer to go by Bash, sir." he said with a smile. The Commissar rolled his eyes, not bothering to hide his distaste with the man
"Trooper. Nash. Explain to me why you were seen disobeying direct orders."
Bash's face adopted a look of complete shock. He scooted his chair closer and placed his hands on the commissar's desk.
"Sir, I did no such thing." The commissar stood, slamming a hand down on his desk and pointing out his tent with the other.
"Don't you lie to me, Trooper! I saw you abandon your position in your Leman Russ! I saw you drive right into the enemy trench networks! Do you mind explaining your actions?!"
"Oh." Bash said with a smile. "You mean that. Yeah, I did that."
"Explain yourself, Trooper!" The commissar barked.
"That's easy, sir. Ya see. I'd been shelling the enemy position for hours. Went right through my entire stockpile of rounds.And ya know, we Chem-Dogs ain't high on the Munitorum's list for resupply. So I says to myself, 'Bash, how can I keep doing my Imperial duty and kill me some heretics?' Well, sir. I figured if I can't shoot them, I can crush them beneath my treads. So I drove right up into the trenches and aimed 'er right at them filthy Chaos worshippers! Ya shoulda heard dem squeal as I ran them down. That'll teach them ta turn their backs on the God-Emperor."
The commissar's eyes narrowed.
"You disobeyed your orders and left position." Bash narrowed his eyes.
"Are ya tellin' me I shouldn't be killin' dem heretics, sir?"
"No."
"Are you saying I should've let the heretics keep their position, sir?"
The commissar sat and balled his hands into tight fists.
"No."
"Then what exactly did I do wrong?"
The commissar was quiet for several long minutes.
"Dismissed, Trooper Nash."
Bash smiled and stood with a salute. He turned to leave and stared at the amasec once more.
"Can I have a drink, sir?"
"GET OUT!"
I'm so proud of this guys! Its fully magnetized and completely customizable for anything I want it to have!
I'm also proud because its named for one of my first watchers NashBashem, who has been missing from here for some time. I hope he's okay.
Well!? What do you think? How's it look? Does it look sufficiently scrounged up?
Tell me what you all think!

I found the fluff lacking, but it was written late last night in the midst of organizing my comic book collection. :/
I'll do better next time.

I'm down with that. I have 27 to paint with more on the way.
Old school, not the new Tempestus stuff, though those do look kind of neat.

So, I'm thinking I need a banner for my signature leading to this thread. I could use some more feedback from peeps and don't seem to be drawing too many commenters.
Any suggestions my loyal minionsFOLLOWERS! I meant followers.

Hey there Jimmy, welcome to my P&M blog! Stick around, kick your feet up on the furniture and share any thoughts and ideas you have about my work. I would love to hear more feedback about it.
I too am quite proud of the Heretic Entrance. Though I probably need to touch it up a little.

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!
I've got some work to show you all tonight. Not much, but some.
So I cut up some of the left over tank sprue.
And I cut up a little bit of the roam that I had left over from my Tyranid terrain piece.
And BAM! Instant company standard for my Tempestus Sc...Storm Troopers. The new name is stupid.
Then I took some wire.
And I made vox aerials for my Storm Troops.
Enough for 3 squads.
Then, while digging through my stuff, I rediscovered this!
And spray primed them all for next week!
And while they were drying, I worked on my ADL some more. Its very slow going.
Its a lot of touching up my unsteady hand.
