Probably My Best List So Far:

In the wake of my first ever victory, I wanted show everyone my army list. I quite like it, at 1500 points, it includes almost all of my favorite models/units (that I own).

HQ:

Lemartes

Corbulo

Honor Guard
Standard Bearer
Sanguinary Priest
Power Fist
Jump Packs

Elites:

Death Company x8
Jump Packs

Veteran Assault Squad x10
Power Fist
Combat Shield
Power Weapon x2
Meltagun

Troops:

Tactical Squad x5
Power Fist
Meltagun
Rhino
Extra Armor

Tactical Squad x10
Meltabombs
Plasma Cannon
Flamer (? I can't remember if I put this in or not)

Heavy Support:

Vindicator
Extra Armor

So that's about it. I know the lack of troops is going to make it weak when there are objectives to be had, but hopefully I'll be able to kill off enough of the enemy scoring units to make them count.

Some Small Progress

So the holidays are over now... MEH.

Anyways, I'm happy I got a lot done, and I definitely got a little better at painting. I also brought home my first victory ever (and in the game after, my opponent won their first victory against me as well!).

Here is a picture of the Honor Guard I am working on Right now.

Since this pic was taken I have done A little more work and nearly finished them. I'll post them up when they are done.

Lemartes! Finished!

I have been looking forward to painting this model for ages!

While I had my doubts during the process, I really feel he came through in the end. It's not much, but considering I only spent about two hours on him, I'm pretty satisfied.


Anyways, here he is:

As usual, sorry for the poor picture quality, I tried my best!

Veteran Assault Squad First Five Finished

So there they are.

I am quite proud, they turned out even better than my last squad.

I tried to freehand the Blood Angels insignia on that Combat Shield. It's not accurate at all, but I think it turned out looking okay, although not professional looking at all!

As for the power weapons, I was disappointed. I ended up going way too heavy on the white. But still, they look pretty good. I also like the way all of their wings and the two chainswords came out.

Pretty darned good if I do say so myself!

Also, keep an eye out for my next post, which will have my slightly converted counts as Lemartes model. It was my first try with greenstuff, so I had a little fun (I should have tried something less important!)

Army is coming along... slowly.

As of now, I have completed painting Brother Corbulo, my Assault Squad, and have begun painting my Veteran Assault Squad. I am very pleased with the way these guys are coming out, and while they are nowhere near the quality of some of the other armies I have seen, they are significantly better than the ones I painted several years ago. Here are some pictures, because I am so proud of them :P

I wish I could have taken a few close up shots of them, but my camera is a piece o' crap.

Anyway, here they are.

EDIT: I just looked at that first picture, and Corbulo looks like a drunk. LOL.
