chrisb83 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 So I haven't played for about 8 years or so, the last time I played was 3rd edition. I've started rebuilding my army which previously contained: Dante Blood Angels Honor Guard Terminator Captain /w lighting claws Chaplain 6 Tactical Terminators with 1 assault cannon and 1 heavy flamer 2x 10 man Tactical Squads Rhino MM Land Speeder Furioso Dreadnought 8 man Death Company with JPs 5 man Devastator Squad First step for my new army list was to start stripping down some old minis. Here is the previous paint job on Dante and his honor guard: http://i41.tinypic.com/29x7jw8.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/dgoqpl.jpg So I decided to hunt ebay for some bargains on assault marines since I wanted to add two ten man RAS. I managed to win a few auctions for a total of 20 assault marines for under 40 bucks. I then bought the new death company box so I could add some flair to all the marines. 15 of the marines were in great shape and were stripped. Five were kind of bad with lots of excess glue and some brittle plastic from an aggressive paint stripper they had used. I might use them for spares, oh well they were only like 8 bucks. The bucket of assorted stripped and ready parts: http://i39.tinypic.com/2ihqogi.jpg Before my death company box arrived I put together 6 models and dusted off the paint brush after quite a few years. Still some details left but the majority of the painting is done: http://i41.tinypic.com/cn42d.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2lkpn5k.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb83 Posted April 16, 2010 Author Share Posted April 16, 2010 My order for a death company box, sang guard, a baal predator and a drop pod, and melta guns arrived, so I started piecing together the rest of the two RAS squads: Two sergeants, one with PW one with PF. (JPs are not attached yet): http://i42.tinypic.com/2yv9qiv.jpg Melta marines: http://i40.tinypic.com/mmr2q8.jpg Spreading out the DC goodies: http://i42.tinypic.com/16blyro.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/1znwuxe.jpg So thats where my progress stands right now. I need to: Finish painting both RAS squads Assemble and paint sang guard Rebuild honor guard with 4x plasma guns Repaint Dante Assemble and paint drop pod Assemble and paint Baal Pred Strip and repaint furioso dreadnought I'll be busy!

chrisb83 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Current update: I have assembled the sang guard: http://i44.tinypic.com/30dhut2.jpg I also finished the gold on Dante and the sang guard. Only one pic came out though I'll have more as they progress: http://i42.tinypic.com/b69191.jpg The Baal is also assembled and the red is done: http://i39.tinypic.com/fmj1tw.jpg I also rescued all old metal dreadnought off Ebay for $13 that I have stripped. I have begun repainting it, and I also have five more RAS underway: http://i43.tinypic.com/28hzbqa.jpg I should have the Baal done soon. Still a ton of work on the sang guard though. A ton of detail on those models! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb83 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 I did a bit more work on the Baal before taking a break from painting for the weekend: http://i43.tinypic.com/2v1rodi.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/345otq8.jpg Once the Baal is done I think I'm going to focus on the 5 RAS that are half complete. Then I'll need to finish 9 more RAS, the sang guard, dreadnought and drop pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKobra Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 These are looking really good man! I have the same problem being most of my models are from the 2nd edition period and lots of updates to make! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb83 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Baal Predator is finally complete: http://i41.tinypic.com/nb4394.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/sxg6iu.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/243naiq.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2lw7pll.jpg I also got a great deal on a Vindicator so throw that on the pile of things to do. The drop pod is mostly assembled and ready for priming. The shooty dreadnought has a couple more details left, but should be done soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisb83 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Just finished up the Vindicator: http://i46.tinypic.com/2znook1.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/6ny07r.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/eqxnx5.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/6dtoc7.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/2wg51df.jpg Coming up soon as well should be the drop pod. My old furioso is also soaking in simple green so I'll be converting it to have blood talons. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb83 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I haven't had a chance to do much work lately, but here are a couple more units: I found this rhino chassis on Ebay for like $6.50 and used my left over bits from other tanks to create a new rhino: http://i46.tinypic.com/a4fsw.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/2ivcjtz.jpg http://i50.tinypic.com/34sqg3p.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/xlezup.jpg My current project underway is to rebuild my old furioso dreadnought. I've currently stripped it down and reassembled it. I used left over spines from my Trygon for the talons. I can't take credit for that idea, I saw someone else on here use the same bits.
