Smurfs, Orks and Guard...Oh My! (Or: Why I don't own more nice things..)

[-=Lazuli=-]

Why are the marines and orks facing the same way, aren't they supposed to be beating each other? lol

A massive Inquisition firewall is just off screen, making the three parties behave nicely. Things weren't pretty after the photo was taken...

Boo to school! School work has me pretty bogged down lately, so I haven't had a lot of time to get much painting done.

However, as always, I've been reinforcing my lines!

To the Ultramarines:
- Scout Sergeant Telion

To the Imperial Guard:
- Hellhound
- Bane Wolf
- Regimental Advisors (finally back in stock!)

I've also started work painting the Ironclad Dreadnought, as well as the first repaint for the first Tactical Squad...as well as trying to find time to continue painting my Vampire Counts. Sigh..

Updates up hopefully soon!

[ManusMarines]

ZOMG! An actual update!

I've got most of the initial work done on my Ironclad. He is missing detail work, highlighting, base work, and my usual massive washes. I will be working on him (and finishing him) this week.

He is, as of yet, unnamed.


GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

I like it Manus, very great start. It'll look beast when done!

I made a nid log in the xenos section if you want to check it out. Looking forward to another update.

Lol, just saw that.

That Ironclads is such a cool kit.

I like the dual Heavy Flamers, you should name him 'The Burninator'.

Thanks, Lazuli. I did too

Trogdor it is!

ZOMG UPDATE!

*Insert standard excuses for lack of updates here*

Now that the excuse is out of the way, I actually have a small update!

Imagine my surprise when I entered my local game store a month ago and finally found the Imperial Guard Advisors back in stock! *Purchased*


Gunnery Sergeant Harker has also joined my ranks, ready to lead some infiltrating Basterds.


I also finally picked up Sergeant Telion for some wound allocation shenanigans!



And just as a final fun project, I have a Chaos Terminator Lord assembled and ready to paint!



Priming shall commence in the next day or so. Finally time to get back to painting.

[Ganymene]

Oh my, lots of shiny new models!

What legion (or warband, I suppose) did you have in mind for the Terminator Lord?

No specific warband in mind at the moment. I'll page through the codex and pick out something, but nothing stands out immediately. He definitely won't be World Eaters/Death Guard/Thousand Suns/Emperor's Children/Black Legion, though. Something different..

On a happy note, once this batch of characters are completed I will be severely reinforcing my Orks with an onslaught of metallic walkers! KANZ AND DREDS, OH MY!

[ManusMarines]

*UPDATE*

My painting drive has once again been re-established! Tyranids, IG, and Vampire Counts have all gotten attention, and I bring to you recently completed IG reinforcements!

First up are the Regimental Advisors!









Harker makes an appearance as well! Now I just need to make him a squad of vets to lead...




And that's all for now! Next up on the IG painting table are a pair of Hellhounds/Banewolfs. Rawr!

[Mr Kibbles]

Nice update Manus

[ManusMarines]

Nice update Manus

Thanks, Kibbs. Good to be actively painting again

[-=Lazuli=-]

[Gearhart]
