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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

As demanded:

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





From left to right:

Spoiler:
2x Chimera

1x Command squad (11) with Missile launcher and pg, command-vox, banner.
Commander with energy sword named Meinel

1x Disciple Squad (12) , Missile launcher, PG, vox

2 x Vanquisher with tripple HB.

2x 5 Marauders (2 Sniperrifles each)

1x Basilisk (Daemonengine kitbashed out of a forgefiend, called the Eyechild)

1x Valkyrie

Command Squad, (11) This time a Heavy Stubber team and a PG aswell as a command vox. (commander Graf, Energy fist and lasgun.)

Missing:
Spoiler:
Casemate salamander scout tank.
12 Disciples for the ground.
another valkyrie
12 Disciples for dropping out of the valkyrie.



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.

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...

My armies (re-counted and updated on 11/7/24, including modeled wargear options):
Dark Angels: ~16000 Astra Militarum: ~1200 | Imperial Knights: ~2300 | Leagues of Votann: ~1300 | Tyranids: ~3400 | Stormcast Eternals: ~5000 | Kruleboyz: ~3500 | Lumineth Realm-Lords: ~700
