Had a bit of a sort out today and compiled what I have left to paint for 40K and Deadzone.

Iron Warriors: (45 minis)
35 Cultists
5 Chosen
5 Raptors


Hawk Lords Space Marines: (18 minis)

10 Man Tactical Squad
5 terminators
3 man Bike Squad
Commander


Blood Angels: (36 minis)

20 tactical marines
10 Death Company
1 Librarian
5 Devastators (need re-basing to 32mm).



Deadzone: (22 minis)

5 Plastic Enforcers
2 Goblin Snipers
Freya
Boomer
1 teraton
2 Ripper Suits
2 Sorak
2 Grogan
Rebs commander
5 Yndij



Currently on the painting table:

5 deadzone zombies, 3 Blood Angel terminators, Terminator Commander and a Death Company Dread:




So that is 131 minis to get through.

Today I did a little Deadzone work and got 4 Enforcers (not on the above list) and my counts as Marauder Stuntbot that I got in a trade with a friend. The pictures are awful due to bad light, I will try and get some better ones up. These are not as poor as they seem!





With some friends:



4 Enforcers:



Thanks for all the replies, and Grim do not worry about the music, different tastes is what the World is about.

The skin tone on the marauder leader is awesome. Bright and smooth. Awesome. Using a killa kan is also a great sub as a stunt bot. Have to keep that in mind.

Also going back a few posts, how did you make the IW sgt's chainsword?

The one with the Khorne Beserker bare head? That is from the Raptor kit, and very spiky it is too.

I like those Enforcers, dark and menacing

the stunt bot is my favourite Mantic release but your substitute is rather smashing.

Yeah- if you don't want to keep spamming the same Chosen from Dark Vengeance, buy the Raptor/Warp Talon kit. Some really Chaosy bits in there. My brother's Black Legion army looks so much better with all the Raptor bits he has spread about his various traitor Astartes squads.

Looking forward to seeing what it could be... I may or may not have ordered a box of Skitarii to paint up...

Now is the time of the Ad Mech, all praise the Omnissiah.

Indeed Azazelx! As mentioned earlier I was looking for a new army, it just went and found me. So 3 boxes of Skitarii later...









That is a 10 man Ranger Unit, a 10 man Vanguard unit and two 5 man (or maybe given who they are Man Machine's) units of each as well. I love this kit, but it does have its limits as most of the robes will only fit one specified pair of legs.

They bought a mate too...



There is only really one band to soundtrack this lot:

Whole lotta awesome right there! They seem to be a unique army in both play style and aestethics, so I think you made a great choice!

That will be an awesome army for sure.

Holy gak. You didn't hold anything back with the Ad Mech did you Thraxas?! 30 Skitarii and a Knight!! lol.

Are you going for the studio colours? Or the forge world of Metalica perhaps?

Colour wise I am not too keen on the red, I am thinking Purple to ally them to my Hawk Lords. Purple, silver and brass just works for me.

Sweet haul And the best part for me? I won't have to wait very long to see them painted as Thraxas is a machine

You weren't messing around. Good to see someone already working on the new models. I am gonna pass on the admech, as I already have too many armies (is that a real thing?) but am looking forward to seeing what everyone does with them.

Looking forward to seeing these painted

Your wish is granted Pyro...

Here is my first Ranger Alpha, with the potentially dangerous Arc Maul:







And a Ranger to join him:






have also done a little bit more work on the Knight:





So just 3 more Rangers to go (including the Transuranic arquebus) before i have my first Skitarii unit done.

Damn, that's some fast work! Looking great!

That's a badass kinigit

Still a lot of work to go on the Knight, then again bigger miniatures always seem so much quicker and easier to paint to me.

So the purple scheme? Good? Bad? Heretical? Indifferent?

Oh yeah. Those are sweet. At first I was a little dubious about anything that's not red being used for AdMech, but even I have to admit that it's a good looking scheme. The Knight is also looking spectacular so far. I really like the way you've done the brass on it. I need to get one of those kits sometime soon... and the Skitarii as well...

Those guys are coming along nicely!

I really like the purple and brown together.

I can't wait to see more.

The purple works really well on those rangers

I think you could put some reds on- maybe some red trim on the edges of the robes to show their allegiance to Mars.

Purple works well with metals, at least I've always thought so. Stick with it, its different but still looks good.

I am not a big fan of the different coloured inner robes, black suits me just fine. And I am lazy

Enter the Aureo (meaning Golden in Latin or cookie in American).













And also a supply drop:


Thanks for looking.

Tres bien! Very nice indeed!

Knight is super sweet. Very neat and clean paint job.

Supply drop is pretty damn sweet too!

Maybe too clean though? I rarely do battle damage and the like but maybe it is fitting on an aged machine of war like a Knight Errant?

If I do add some how do I go about it?
