Today a whole lot of resin arrived, and I'm going to have to ramp things up a bit!

 

In my paint queue is:

 

My Praetor, ten Veletarii and a Master of Signal:

And, unpictured, five Suzerain, one Dracosan, two Rhinos, a Land Raider, two Leman Russes and ten Missile Launcher marines.

 

Needless to say, I have a lot of work to do...!

 

I'll be posting updates as I go along, both here and on my blog. Plus by the end of February I should have a few games in too.. expect pictures!

A bit of airbrushing later and I'm back to painting, spurred on by the Weekender!

 

Infantry paint queue:

 

 

Almost finished Contemptor:

And my WIP Praetor:

Next, I need to decide how to do my Praetor's Paragon Blade, as well as a scheme for my Solar Auxilia. I'm thinking of just doing Forgeworld's metal scheme - the blue armoured scheme looks nails, but I've got enough blue already!

[The Pounder]

Looking good so far.

I always do swords and such in metal, I'm traditional like that.

[Kennyjapan]

Hi there! some nice looking ultra's you've got there. What kind of world are your Solar Auxilia fighting on? you could always do the traditional terrain specific camo?

[Izzinatah]

Thanks, Kennyjapan! My Solar Auxilia are fighting on Generic Brown Dust World, as are my Ultramarines. I actually made a start on painting them - they are silver, white and blue, but I've got a lot left to do!

 

Some painting progress:

I've got a huge update today - these past two weeks I've been airbrushing away, trying to get more finished for a long gaming weekend over the past couple of days. I didn't quite get done, but had a great weekend of gaming. I've got a writeup of all four games here, but here are some pictures from the weekend!

More pictures, a writeup of the weekend and an explanation of how the XIII^th ended up with a Lord of War here: http://impsec.blogspot.co.uk/

[Schultzhoffen]

Nice battle reports. I read every one. I love games that are close and surprising.

[God-Potato of Mankind]

Lovely Veletarii scheme. White fatigues and blue pads is very good for Ultramarine allies!

[Izzinatah]

Thanks Schultzhoffen! It was a great weekend, especially those close games - I wasn't expecting to end up winning them at all!

 

And thanks, God-Potato! I need to paint the other nine of them, it took me a few schemes before settling on that one :)
