Heya Dakka, its been a while since I've done anything warhammer related and I figured this was the best way for me to get actively working on my army, and I guess its the same for smudge

I currently play Imperial Guard, I've recently restarted the hobby after quitting it a long time ago to try and be "cool", before deciding I wanted to be my own person instead

My army has a greeny camo sort of theme, pretty generic but I find it very fun to paint. They are composed mainly of veterans and I currently have a battleforce and a command squad.

Me and Smudge will be painting and gaming over the next few months, he has a lot more than me currently but I'll leave him to show and tell what he has. I currently have no pictures of my guys ,but I will soon.

Thanks for reading, I now hand you over to Smudge

Oh right
Hi guys!

As a 15 year old guy with a paper round and 2 sets of pocket money, I really have nothing better to spend my money on at the moment than a hobby, and Warhammer is great fun.
I am currently building up a Space Marine Army ( ) WIth a combination of black, red and gold as it's colour scheme. Name of chapter tends to change a lot, currently it's the Hell Guard (that may change weekly).

My troops themselves are quite shoddily painted, but I haven't painted one in a good while, so my ability may have changed considerably, I'll get back to you on that one.
At the moment I am in the middle of painting one of two land raiders I am going to field in my army. (Crusader variant of course ) I will upload pics when I have painted a little more.

That's me for my introduction.
May all your dice roll 6's . (Except when taking morale checks)

EDIT: Just realised "dices" was incorrect grammar. Fix'd.

Hello! My first update about my Land Raider! It is very nearly finished, only a few things left like more weathering.


Here is the thing. Not much to say. Crusader of course. With a Multimelta coz they're awesome



Here is the Heraldry on the right hand door. I used the door from the Black Templar upgrade sprue (bought from my good friend Commander Jackurius) and used the name "Ignis", which means "Fire" in Latin.



This is the other side, where you can see the purity seal and Aquila I added. You can also see some of the paint scrapes I put on for effect.



Left side front. Just a quick look at the guns mainly. Also you can see the I-only-just-noticed splodges on the main door beams. Will fix.



A view top down at the front. You can see the tech gunner and the heraldry on the BT upgraded door.



A close up of some of the weathering. I found this technique at http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/306821.page for those who are interested.



Some more weathering.



The last photo. Some more weathering. Glad it turned out the way it did.

Well that's all for now folks, will fix that nasty splodge and continue with my painting endeavour!

See-ya's!

Well, after spending about 5 hours painting I've finished a few guardsmen. Pics on the way, but this is mainly an update to keep the thread alive

Very cool land raider, how'd you do the red?

It's nothing more than many thinned down coats of Mechrite Red, followed by thinned coats of Blood Red. It is slightly brightened up in Photoscape, which makes it really stand out.
