After a 3 year break from all things glorious I have finally made a return to our beloved hobby and what a wondrous time to have returned.

 

I stupidly sold everything I had when I left the hobby so have had to seat from the ground up, but in a way it was nice to have a completely clean slate.

 

I've started on an army of the Dauntless Few, Ultramarines with some Fists to start with but the other will be added in. I'm unsure of how to base the models and "where they're set" but it will definitely be after calth. Maybe the underground war or maybe the ongoing war in ultramar. I'll post some pics of what I've got so far as soon as I can remember how to

There's quite a few bits I'm working on at the moment, hopefully I won't get snowed under and progress grinds to a halt. Focusing on the VIIth Legion Allies at the moment, although it will give me more VIIth than XIIIth.....

Think that's me all caught up with where I am. Need to get another ultramarines armour set to build up another tactical squad.

 

Thanks for the kind words, I wanted them to look like they really got stuck in rather than like they'd spend the morning polising their armour. Think the hate for the Ultramarines has finally worn off a bit now, especially after them being so awesome in the heresy books.

Still a long way to go, mainly jut getting the base colours blocked out but I was wondering if it's missing something? Should I paint all the little trim?

Someone stealing my ideas..... well I'd never of thought thst would happen. Glad it's impressed someone enough to warrant stealing it. I'll try to get the tactical done today, they've been dragging on for far too long. Plus I'm dying to make a start on my Knight of Choom

Progress!!! Managed to finish the tactical squad off tonight. Long overdue, this squad seemed to take a lot longer than the ultramarines. Onto the pics.

 

Whole squad

It seems the call of the Choom was finally too great to resist.... Unfortunately in my haste to get some paint on this I completely forgot everything about painting weathered vehicles and just slapped the paint on.... so now I need to decide whether to strip it and start again using chipping medium to just add the chips and gouges on top

The Green really seems to pop now it has a contrasting colour. I'm really pleased with it, not sure how much weathering I'll add. Suppose it should be pretty battered to fit in with the Ultramarines and Fists.

Thanks for the kind words, was having a bit of a hobby meltdown and contemplating chucking everything in the stripper and starting again but I'm glad I just got on with it.

The knight of choom is done for now I'm not sure whether I will add weathering and other unit marking in the future or not but for now it's done.
