I'm getting close to a fully painted 40K army for the first time since I threw the minimum "3 color" standard on my 3rd ed Fleshtearers force to have the "We're just here to kill things" army list to take to the tournaments... It did really well on the field, looked pretty bad, but it WAS technically fully painted... This time though, I've got a more or less completely different army, have stripped and repainted a number of things....
10 man Sniper Scout Squad, check, needs a bit touch-up, shading and "bits" to go on the bases
10 man Sternguard Vet Squad, check, as above, but weapons all fully WYSIWYG converted
Death Company, Check. Various weapons, Jump Packs, Chaplains, etc... Could use some base work, but...
Assault Marines, check... How many? "More" as Taleni Pahulu would have put it (4 numbers, 0, 1, 2, 3 and more)... Enough to field at least 2 full squads, one of which I have magnetized the Jump Packs for to allow them to enter "Fromage Grande" mode and get the discounted transports which are better for no apparent reason :-)... Razorbacks are still good, Land Raiders are "eh", Melta will still everywhere and kill them easily...
What else now? Well, I cut the patterns to make a simple Drop Ship with a wooden frame... Foamboard is a possibility, and will probably also work, and since I have to make a few of them... Otherwise I have some vehicles to finish up, and I have to decide what characters I'll be playing... Mephiston, Gabriel Seth, Chaplains... There are a few possibilities here and there. I like the BA Librarians as well, but lacking any sort of Psychic defense... Well, it is a bit difficult :-)... Have to paint up my Aegis line I guess...
So, very close, just a bunch of small details...
