From the album: Faithful Jackals
A line up of my first 5 true scale marines and the sculpting to highlight the cable work for the Mk. 6 armor they are meant to be wearing. I figured the Evolutionary diagram of humanity was a good basis to follow with this. From left to right we have oldest to newest. From this distance you can see the change over time but the little details separating them out get hidden so some of them look practically the same. Still, everyone started sculpting somewhere and this is my start! -

Captain and Grey Slayer, used as test dummies for stripping paint with methylated spirits. The Captain was, prior to the messy paint job on display here, a fairly successful Ultramarine. Photo: iPhone. -

One of the first 40k miniatures I painted - some time in the late 1990s or maybe very early 2000s. Thick, thick paint. Terrifying eyes. Photo: iPhone. -

I started work a couple of weeks back on this project before I had a name or much of anything else to it. Following Apologist's work on his Blood Angels I went down the true scale route in earnest for the first time. Recently I've thought that it might be easier to keep a log here than being reliant on my Twitter and Instagram to keep track of progress on the lore behind these guys and know for a fact that I can't commit to a blog to well. Heck I'm bad enough at keeping up with Hobby Streak as an idea. The goal is to build up a small army of predominately Mk6 armor marines that is sized for Crusade. Rouge Trader's art and the original marine sculpts are also giving a lot of inspiration but I'm not trying to just recreate them so much as use them as a guide for rules. The major hurdle has been crossed though and that's getting a scheme down. I'll have to try it out on a test mini but as far as general colors idea it looks something like this: INDEX ENTRY //START// The Faithful Jackals are listed in the annuals of the Adeptus Astartes as a successor to the Ultramarines successor chapter. However, the exact founding they belong to is not clear as much of the records of their history were lost during the Age of Apostasy though what remains is a conflicting patchwork of reports of their appearance and disappearance. Their earliest surviving record of their combat operations places them in defensive operations during the 1st Black Crusade within the same sector their fortress monastery stands in M41. One prevailing theory amongst those members of the Adminstratium is that the chapter has been re-founded a number of times rather than letting the livery and history of the chapter rest however if this is the case it is certainly unusual. INDEX ENTRY //END// Got a lot of work ahead of me but the next post will have pictures of at least the start of the first 5 marines. It's going to be a bit of a slow build for this but I think so far I've actually been pacing myself really well. Could definitely use some feedback on the scheme. I want the blue arm as a homage to the Ultramarines Legion though I'm not sold on the head color matching as well. I did think of using the head to be a company marker or doing the classic beakie stripe for that but as it stands there isn't one. Anyway, thanks for reading and I'll catch you with the next update!

- It is the 35th Millennium - The Imperium is in turmoil. Faith wars with rationality as the Ecclesiarchy and Administratum tussle for power. In disgust, the Ur-council of Nova Terra has led a fifth part of the Imperium into secession, striking out to forge a new destiny of their own. Seers speak hauntingly of the half-remembered terrors of Old Night, as warpstorm activity increases across the galaxy. The veil grows thin. Against a galaxy in flames, as mankind falls on itself, the Blood Angels stand as bulwark in the east.

In a quest to get back into painting and improve my, shall we say, average skills, I recently salvaged a carry case full of old miniatures from the late 90s - early 2000s when I started collecting Warhammer. I'm not sure whether 3rd edition era truly counts as 'retrohammer', but there are some fairly old, terrifyingly heavy, white metal models as well as a couple of retro tanks and plastic kits that I'm going to strip down and work on. Seeing as I have the attention span of a toddler, I thought I'd create a Project Log to help keep on track. Some of the miniatures I'm planning on working with include: The old, 3rd edition era metal command squad. A selection of plastic and metal Terminators - WiP The 'original' Captain Sicarius Games Day miniature - WiP Original 2nd/3rd edition Rhino - Completed Original 2nd/3rd edition Razorback - Completed Games Day mid-2000s Space Marine Sergeant with Power Fist. - Completed Mostly I think they'll be redone to match the DIY chapter I'm working on. If I get time, the Wolves will be prepped for the new Codex. Sicarius will, of course, be an Ultramarine for old time's sake. To whet your appetite, and show you how average early teenage me was at painting, here are a few snaps taken on my phone while organising and preparing things for stripping... One of my first ever Tactical Marines. Before I realised you had to cut the bolter handles off... Standard Bearer from the old Command Squad. Soon to be a resplendent Chapter Ancient. Maybe. Metal Captain and plastic Grey Slayer used as a test for stripping with methylated spirits. That Captain was once quite a well painted Ultramarine, before I decided I hated the model and hastily used him to see if I could paint halved schemes... The Captain after a five minute bath in meths and a scrub. Needs a clean up and a second quick wash and then he'll be good to go. More updates...at some point.
