There are still a few models I am still working on, but everything meets my tabletop minimum.

If you don't mind I would love to copy that paint scheme. What did you use.

The main color is Vallejo Brown Violet 70.887 or US Olive Drab 70.887 as it is currently called. Check the paint number as US Olive Drab 70.889 is an older name to a dark brown that also has a new name.
The joints/black carapace is Vallejo German Grey but black would probably work well enough since German Grey is a very dark grey
The belt, pouches, and straps are US Olive Drab 70.889 or Olive Brown 70.889 as it is currently called. Told ya it is a little confusing.
The white metal parts is Vallejo Gunmetal Gray which is a darker steel color metallic paint probably really close to leadbletcher
The yellow metal parts is Vallejo Old Gold
The green parts of the weapons is US Dark Green though I don't really know it is worth painting a slightly different color from the main armor in the long run as you can only tell close up.
The Black parts of the weapons are Vallejo Black
The purity seals and skulls are Vallejo Buff
The red part of the purity seals or some weapon lens is just some Army Painter Red (note: on vehicles with bigger lens I use Vallejo Model Air Fire Red which is a little darker)
The green optics is Vallejo Uniform Green but I would have used a brighter green if I didn't already have a bottle of this paint
The yellow lens are technically two colors depending on if the helmet is worn (Vallejo Lemon Yellow) and 'active' or on the hip or the marine is dead (Vallejo Model Air Canary Yellow I think, the bottle is really old).

Finally, I use Agrax Earthshade over the whole model as a wash going back and cleaning off the raised and flat areas. It still darkens the paint a little though.

The Below spoiler has a little bit closer image of one of my Intercessors to make matching the colors where used the a little easier. My gallery also has an Avenging Eagles folder with more stuff in it.

Spoiler:

I really appreciate you writing all that out, thank you.

**BrianDavion**

on another note I've been working on a sucessor chapter of late and have just put together the bare bones of a prototype from a ETB Intercessor

it's not anywhere near compelte yet but the base idea is here

**StormX**

Great stuff people. Thank you for showing your wonderful army's.

Now if that ain't a merry band of CSM.
Well done lad. They look amazing.

**phillv85**

Some stunning armies on here. I love those CSM Vyrullax.

**Agamemnon2**

I don't usually lay them out like this for reasons, but as I happened to put all of them on my desk recently, here's the full painted-up strength of the Eternity Wardens chapter (minus one Stormtalon and one or two extra character models). Also pictured are a bunch of other minis stuck on my work surface.

They're not laid out unit by unit, mind you, since a lot of them aren't configured for it (like the Space Hulk termies) and I own way too many sergeants and characters. I've almost run out of shoulder pads and especially backpacks. Bummer.

Thanks for the compliment. Not sure how to make the image size properly though

Now that is a marine force with dedication behind it.
Too few spikes for my liking but still impressive.

**Agamemnon2**

I'm a bit annoyed that I went with the faux-kanji tactical symbols and iconography, but it's a bit late to change it now. My Chapter Master actually has a Japanese style war fan and it's all a bit cringey to me now.

More pics: https://imgur.com/gallery/dieXAIA

The biker Chaplain is my first ever conversion, from somewhere around 1997. Just a metal Chaplain head and a skeleton warrior morning star on a biker body, but I wouldn't change it for the world. Even the paint scheme on him is almost totally original, except he got a red shoulderpad to mark him as an EW. My original chapter was.... *sigh* "The Catachan Tiger Clan", with an orange and black color scheme.

**phillv85**

Both of my main armies here are WIP. First up is my Deathwatch. Not necessarily in the squads they'd go in, but you get the idea. Need to finish the last 40 infantry (mostly with bolters), a couple more captains, a watch master and another few vehicles then I'll finish off the bases.

Spoiler:

Next is my Primaris Crimson Fists. Again, a work in progress, a few incomplete squads, or squads with mixed weapons at the moment due to so many marines still being in my painting pile. I need to decide on a basing theme for these guys. The techmarine is a kitbash from an ETB Intercessor and the top half of the marine from the Repulsor.

Pic is missing some rangers and HQ units but this is the core of my latest CWE list.

They look awesome but that's your list?!?!

Love the tinted windows. That's hot ****!

A battalion with Eldrad, bikeseer, bikelock, 5x dire avengers, 2 x 5 rangers, and 2x serpents.

An air wing with 3 crimson hunter exarchs.

A superheavy auxilliary scorpion.

It's a lot of fun to play. Scorpions become crazy hard to kill if you get your spells off. And 4D6 guided S12 shots is absurd.

**morgoth**

Well, it's only about 40% of my painted army, but I love the picture anyway:

There's more over here, I'm still in the process of building that blog though, it's a mess right now.

Is that a full, wraithbone army?

What is the battlecry? You're boned?

Really nice job there btw.

I love the Scorpion too, I've played it in Apoc and a few friendly games and it never disappoints (it just couldn't match the Gauss Pylon in the Apoc early 8th) - didn't try any of the spells on it though, I do like the fact that they made it flat 3 DMG, that's at least a bit less RNG, too many dice to roll in the first version of the rules. But mostly, it's an insanely beautiful model.

Well it's not complete yet, it's a Wraith Wing with only Wraith Constructs, part of a larger army which is not all Wraith.

I love the painting on these guys, it was done by https://www.facebook.com/KanpekiMiniatures/

It's currently like this:
2 Phantom Titans 1 unpainted 1 unassembled
4 Revenants painted
8 WraithKnights painted
8 Wraith Lords, 3 painted 5 unassembled
8 Wraith Guard units, 5 painted, 3 unassembled,
8 Wave Serpents, partly assembled, waiting for type II mods
1 Wraith Seer

There's no "HQ" in there, but I have spiritseers in kind of an HQ group, and the Hemlocks in the Air Wing.

Some great armies in this thread.

Probably should put then my allready painted parts of the 31'st in here aswell.

I'd love to see that

I don't think all posts are about a single army list or something - even though the Wraith Wing could be an army list, I haven't fielded it as such yet.

As demanded:

Infantry is anvil, especially out of spite after gw decided that Renegades and Heretics weren't worth their effort.

Edit: I did mention that i am a terrible painter

And in hindsight i probably should revisit the army at some point, but at this stage, which will probably happen, tommorow or sometimes else, aswell as propper pictures, but gaming wise, even tough the list would be perfectly legal for a 2000 pts game, it hasn't been fielded since a month, which is relatively long time for me, due to the Circumstance the army list is in.

Edit 2:
Which lead well to me putting my old Chaos lord in a Terminator Armour.

Wow.

This is the army I dreamed about owning as a child.

Looks amazing dude.

**Engine of War**

You asked....

Its missing all the infantry (plenty of guardsmen, a few squads of skitarii and 2 squads of Space Marines + 5 termi's)
I have long since lost count on the points. That and ALOT of it still needs further converting and painting. Not to mention a lot of them need general repairs.

main units of note: War Zeppelin (Center top. can't miss him) , P-1000 Ultra Heavy Tank (back left), Atomic Cannon + carriers (middle), Ordiantus Majoris Sonic Disruptor (back right)

Closer up shots

Same here, I guess I'm still a child

a happy one at that.

Luckily, we just had time to setup a bit of a photo shoot, I'm still grinning:

GAWD DAMN!!!

The first time a knive ear army actually makes me wish i had one and not puke

Job well done there.
Well played

**StormX**

Wow what a hacker morgoth. Extremely amazing.

**ZergSmasher**

I've got a couple of pics of lists I took to tournaments in the past month or so. In other words, not my whole armies, but decent portions of them and representative of their overall color schemes.
Dark Angels:

T'au Empire:

I'm particularly proud of my Tau, as unlike my other armies, which are painted "stock" for the most part (as in true to the actual fluff), my Tau scheme is something I came up with on my own. They got lots of compliments at a GT I played in recently, too.

Maybe I should gather all of my painted Tau and take another photo for this thread soon...

**Dysartes**

Quick one, guys - if you're posting really, really big images, please think of mobile/tablet users and pop those images inside spoiler tags.

Cheers.
