Railgunner's Log of Everything [40k][FoW][Anything Else i get][etc]

[Railgunner]

Well, i have decided it is time to retire my 'Grey' Grey Knights log and start a general purpose log
This log will chop and change between different armies and even game systems as it goes, as i find having 2 differing projects on the go helps to break up the boringness of painting the same things day in and day out for a while.

Enough with the essay...on to the plan!!

At the moment i can see the following things around me that need painting;
40k
Pure Infantry Praetorian Army (1500pts)
Mechanised Stormtrooper Army (1500pts)
Armoured Company (all the tanks that aren't in other army lists)
Drop Troops Army (1500pts)
Nearly a compnay of marines
More Grey Knights

Flames of War
British Para's (600pts, but plans to expand to 1500pts)

Fantasy
The beginnings of a Wood Elf Army

LotR
All mounted Rohan Army (600pts+)

I am currently working on the Grey Knights and British Para's, once i have finished these two i will leave the choice of the next 2 armies to you, the people of warseer

So, the next list...here is what the current 2 army projects are made up of;
Grey Knights
11 Terminators
Land Raider Crusader
27 Power Armoured Grey Knights (incl. 3 Justicars, 8 Psycannon and 4 Incinerators

British Para's
Command Platoon
3 Infantry Platoons (3 sections per platoon)

Just for anyone who hasn't seen them, this is the painted portion of the Grey Knight army here

Pictures of current progress will, be up tomorrow afternoon

I expect i will also need plenty of encouragement on this huge undertaking of mine, so please help me

RG

P.S...this must be the longest post ive ever made!!

[thewizardofoz]

(SC pimpage didn't work on me, i came because you came to my place. i tend to check peoples logs who post in mine.)

Would definately be interested in your tanks, I'm just starting painting my own.

[Railgunner]

Would definately be interested in your tanks, I'm just starting painting my own.

Should be getting some pictures of them for you this weekend.

Sorry to everyone that an update has been so long (went back to school) but lo and behold...a Grey Knight update and possible a Para's update should be forthcoming this weekend and also another surprise model which i doubt anybody can guess (apart from SC)

RG

[Railgunner]

Well here is the first update for today;
The Surprise model....i chose it because i wanted something different to nice clean grey knights...so ladies and gentlemen a present to you, a Plague Marine!
Although yet to be based i need your comments on it, especially on the rust on the bolter and knife (my first time using MIG pigments).




So what do people think? Should i start an army of these foul, diseased traitors?

RG

[Lord Hjamlar]

Dane Cook - I just came!

:O Being honest Stuart I wasn't expecting sth like that, but he's just awesome. Can't w8 to see more of 'em as well as some IG storm troopers The handle, or the place where u put the 2nd hand on bolter, looks just superb, same for skin on the chest...

P.S. - No ********ting or being nice in above post trust me m8

[ice]

good on you there RG, he looks really good, I'd like to see you do up a Typhus model!

[Edzard]

Cool man, I started painting some FOW not too long ago and I must say yours look great!

Also, did you have an easy time switching to 15mm? I am having trouble painting tanks, infantry goes remarkably well :P

Oh and that is a nice Chaos Space Marine too, good work

[Railgunner]

Thanks for the kind comments guys...i might have some 2nd edition plague marine pics up here next sunday

@ Edzard...these are actually the first FoW units ive painted, so i havn't done any tanks yet (although i plan to do some jeeps)...the switch wasn't too bad as they have so much less detail than 40k which means they are alot quicker to paint. I find they also provide a nice break while painting 40k if i get too bored

Next updates should be either mid-week or next weekend.

RG

[Railgunner]

Well, this weekend i bought myself a Cromwell box for Flames of War (4 Cromwells and a Sherman Firefly). So if my week isnt too busy there may be a painted tank (my first for FoW) up on here by sunday. I am also going to try really hard and get some more of my Land Raider Crusader done

Although painting time for my own models will be quite limited, as ive been commissioned to paint a Thousand Sons army.

RG

P.S for anyone that doesnt know what a cromwell doesnt look like, here is a link

[Edzard]

Looking forward to them!
