Found the co standard yesterday;)...Ill be on a business trip this weekend and found over the last few times out of town that I am fairly productive when away from home. Will be taking a few guys with me to assemble and taking a few to paint as well... the standard is one of the things to go...thinking the 3 cyclops I have (awaiting the engineer mole launcher dudes from overseas to arrive as the backpack guy will be the controller for all 3 :)...mole launcher bit  will be going to another unit. 

I appreciate the mojo motivation guys!

One of my engineers died a horrible death as some plastic glue spilled on a tray and he took a header into it- without me realizing for a while :(...will become a terrain feature...

Happy turkey day! ... Wanted to post an update on the state of the guard.

Heres the end zone of this guy...freaking up close pic shows how thick and crappy my squiggly writing lines are ;)

 

Working on the bases for the first 30 dudes right now... been crazed at home so looking forward to maybe getting in some work over the next few weeks.

Some more bases... think this is all of them......for now;).

have more work to do but think this is pretty good for 4 hours work.

So far I have 50 25mm, 5 40mm, 15 60mm, 3 120mm 'flying bases' 1 heroic 40mm and 1 heroic bike base.

I know I will need 4 more 'flying' bases and probably 20/30 25mm and 3/4 more 40mm.... will know for sure after I rebase all the dudes I have painted so far on these bases and then assemble what I have left. Trying to get it done before the new book comes with a few more waves of goodies.

-Also, scored an Atlas on the 'bay...very excited to have a vehicle for my techmarine to cruise in

So I finished painting all my bases and got almost all of the CCS and Commissars as well as the horsemen standard bearer mounted on their bases... also threw together a dude in case I need a kickbutt strike force addition...

 

So I have done well for awhile and not bought anything marine... all the hoopla and 30k/40k goodness... Ive been picking up stuff for my GUard army for the last few years and would sneak in a piece here and there in case I decided to not do the true scale marines anymore...
here's the first of my 20 men crammed in a Storm Eagle

shooo....was up LATE last night and here's what I got done...

The lone trooper is the first of his squad mates to get a base :)...the horse rider is an objective piece- had to GS the horses feet down as trying to pin him to the base was a PITA....will have to go back and touch up the green to a more relaxed black or shaded tone;)

Hope to get some more guys based tonight. Looked at some Battlefoam to store these dudes and recognized I will have to wait for a warmer day to varnish and seal the paintjobs.



realize while looking at bigger than actual size pics I want to paint the horsemen's chest plate a different color, glaze the troopers pants and tone down the skin tone on the artelierist....

warriorfish- I am hoping to get to some of them on Wednesday... also see that there is a lot of touch up and tightening to do with the paintjobs... I have this OCD thing that means I spend years painting an army before it will see the tabletop ;(... on the other hand, I may play for crap but I tend to pull high marks in painting

So, no updates on assembly today...I did succumb to a few last minute solstachristmahanakwanzadon gifts for myself. Found a guy online making sentry guns, picked up an AC Sabre platform and some more IH 30k marine pieces parts on the 'Bay. 

I admit I am weak sometimes:)

 

Will be having an assembly night this eve I believe.... hope to cut 3 squads off of the GW bases and apply them to the painted ones. Look forward to assembling the 40ish dudes I have to put together - with the temps being as cold as they are I may not be able to prime anything for a few weeks :(
