Hi all!

I've decided to participate this year, since I have a habit of driving my usual opponents nuts with half-/unpainted miniatures. :spin

Army of choice is going to be Chaos; I want to give them a Word Bearers look, although I am using the Black Legion list.

I already have a few painted miniatures, which I will show here. I am not sure yet if I want to post a 3000 points army and stick to painting that, or choose 500 point detachments each month, as the whim takes me (do you say it like that?).

more soon! :)

cheers,
M

EDIT 03.01.2014

I've decided to put basic/preliminary information about the project here, instead of into the threat. WIP of the actual painted miniatures for ToEG will be put in the threat.

This will be about my army/the miniatures I usually play and what I am most likely going to paint for the challenge.

My standard army always has Terminators, a Death Wheel, Feral Titan and 2 -3 formations of Space Marines.
I top this off with adding an Obliterator here and there, flyers, Defilers, sometimes tanks and daemon beasts (I usually play Undivided).

From this list, the Titan and the Death Wheel, 4 bases of Terminators and 3 stands of Obliterators are already painted. For the rest I usually use unpainted miniatures (tanks, Defilers), or (Chaos) Space Marines that I bought off ebay ages ago which came painted. I am not too fond of the paintjob, but they are painted, which is more than I can say about most of my own stuff.

So the plan is to finish the Terminators first (2 bases), then start off with daemon infantry and Chaos Space Marine infantry. Defilers are also top of the list. After that, I may be going for Decimators or start painting some tanks. What is also on my list is finishing building my Banelord and Ravager Titans.
I'll take some pictures of my already painted stuff and the ones I bought painted, maybe tomorrow.

EDIT 5.1.2014

ok so here's pictures of what is already painted. I aim to improve future pictures by buying additional lamps, hope it helps. Currently I am not too happy with the quality of the pics. I also seem to always get the distance of camera-miniature wrong somehow.

I decided to put the pictures into an online foto album. Please tell me if that's convenient for you guys, or if you'd rather see the pictures directly in this threat.

if you click on the pics you get original size versions. Change language in upper right corner.

Please tell me if it's better for you guys with an album like this, or do you want all the pics directly in this threat?

cheers,

Pics in thread would be better for the voyeurs among us ;)

Great start! I notice a lot of people are using warjacks as light Titans.

I have no problem with the album, although I prefer posts with pictures, but do not listen to me, I am getting old.

Of what I see in the album, however, I think you are off to a fantastic start. I guess that the converted robots are Obliterators, and I love the Daemon Prince, but what is that weird daemonic robot? I love it.

Hi!

ok, quick update from me. First to answer the questions, yes the robots are supposed to be Obliterators, and the daemonic robot is supposed to be a Feral Titan. I made it from a Warjack.

On the painting front, I didn't manage to do this month's contingent; I painted the last 2 bases of my Terminators (2x65=130 pts) and 1 Defiler. I struggle with the Defilers, as I am not sure if I am happy with the way they look.

Anyways, since I fell around 300 pts short this month, I decided to include the points into February's contingent, which means I have to paint 800 points this month.

The master plan is to paint my Banelord tian, which would be 850 points, and which I've been wanting to convert/paint for quite some time now. Of course I'll also try to finish the Defilers.

So much from me, I hope all the other ToEG challengers are doing better :)

cheers,
