Project Dark Angels

Hi,

I've just started a PLog on Heresy Online, If anyone here is interested I can put the link in here or have a duplicate log here.

I hoping it will keep me motivated to get my Army to the tabletop so I can start playing some 40K with you guys.

Cheers, Leon.

Leon that sounds cool, add he link

Here's the link...

My goal is to get a decent tabletop standard in relatively quick time with my limited skills.

Leon.

Updated the project log.

Leon

Thought I'd add the pictures here, the boring stuff can be found by following the link.

Looking really good so far, keep it up

Thanks, I have set myself a rule that I cannot field any unpainted units. This is because I will get lazy if I get into that habit. Also for some reason the pictures have had the right hand side clipped off.

I'm hoping that within a month I will have; 2x HQ, 3x Tactical squads, 2x Ravenwing squads, 1x Deathwing squad, 1x Devastator squad and 1x Veteran squad. Then I'll be back looking for someone to teach me the rules since I last play back at the beginning of 3rd edition!

Leon those are looking good. You have good brush control and you pick up detail well (looking at your chaplain). I really like your chaplain. If i could suggest that a more extreme highlight on the power armour would benefit the squad.

Good work, looking forward to your deathwing (Painted my first deathwing the other night, to practice the bone/ white armour)

That is always the dream with everyone starting a new army haha.

Until last year i've been on a 8+ years paint free dry spell. I got fed up of seeing my models undercoated and just started getting some done to a basic tabletop standard. I now motivate myself to paint my models (even if it just means the first layer of the basic colour/s) by just fielding them in my next army list. I have slowed down a fair bit this month, but always try to make a conscious effort to get at least an hour or 2 every week.

It's good to see that the club has grown considerably in the volume and quality of painted models being used

Will also be good to see when your fully painted Dark Angels army arrives to join us

really good to hear about not polaying untill all models are painted looks alot better on the table and i hope alot of ppl follow u not in not playing untill everything is painted but start to paint more as its very easy to buy and assemble

finding time to paint is the main problem, in my case anyway.

u have a full ultra marine army lol amazingly painted and about half a Darl eldar army no puede pidi mas ay hente ke no tienen nada de nada! lol not even undercoated lol

In the past I have always been terrible for having unpainted models, the army I had was a Saim Hann Eldar army with about 10 painted Guardians, 3 painted Jetbike and a painted Falcon, everything else was unpainted. My Dark Eldar never got past the undercoating stage!

This time WILL be different!

mate, love it! keep it going, im trying the same approach to my Chaos, however some elements will be unpainted, but I have stated no more new CSM purchases until all are currently done!

Elvis

That's what I'm trying to stick to, that way I can 'reward' myself with a few purchases upon completion of current models. I have finished my Plasma Cannon marine today, and hopefully I'll have an update with him, a completed sargeant (minus a head as I'm using a head from the Vet' box when it arrives), and a more completed Chaplain. I'm waiting for a particular paint in order to finish the brass parts and obviously the basing materials.

Leon.

Nice to see more ppl painting there armys good to know elvis! Im trying to make ppl paint more by only taking pictures of painted models for the club fb page

Im going to have my whole army panted and done except for a couple of models that i have not used and am not going to use before the 1st of march 2 weeks left

Small update. Twiddling my thumbs now until my delivery arrives, but I now have 1 HQ and 1 Tactical squad!

Watch out!

Chopped off the Plasma Cannon guy completely... You can see the full 'uncut' pictures on Heresy (link above).

Leon.

Nice going, really liking your DA, the Dark Vengeance DA are a fantastic base to start a sizeable force from.

Thanks, if it looks half as good as the pictures I have seen of your Blood Angels Army (I think you have BA?) I will be very happy.
I'm going to double up on the Dark Vengeance DA stuff to get up and running quickly, from then on I'll put some thought into what I buy and add for tactical and/or aesthetic reasons.

Leon.

Ha, epic fail today. My delivery has arrived only I didn't realise I would have to pay duty, as such I had no money on me!
