Another diary eh? ?:;):

After getting hold of a load of new FW goodies at Gamesday, I'm feeling up to beginning the creation of a decent Epic:A army that will hopefully be reasonable to paint, and fun!
I've decided on armour as the dominant theme of this army, but I've got a load of sprues of infantry too, so lots of normal guardsmen will make an appearance too, although they'll be less of the more 'out there' things like Ratlings and Rough Riders (bit cold for the horses methinks.. :;):)....

I'll start with a few pics showing what I've got to work on, then as I complete paintjobs or finish particually interesting conversions, I'll stick more pics up.... ?:)

First up- some stuff ready to be undercoated - my Baneblades, Warhounds and Leman Russ company...

..a pile of sprues, a big box of FW tanks and planes, and an unpainted beetleback (thanks Lextar!) ...this lot should be plenty to go on!  :cool:

Looks like a great start. I am looking forward to seeing the finished army!

And here is what is already painted... a few Trojans, and my titans (Legio Vulcania for those interested).
The titans are going to be spruced up a little when I've got time- as well as all of them getting snow bases, the Reavers will get some banners, and the Imperator will get some more work on highlights, detailing and weathering- its rather flat and plain at the moment...

The Baneblades have a little conversion work to make them more interesting- First of all, I'm not gluing the main turrets down; instead I've added locator pins so they stay attached properly, but can turn freely, like Airfix ship kits for example....

...and I've also sculpted some pack rolls and other stowage from GS, and made a pair of aerials for each one from some thin but very rigid wire.

Hope you like them, and I hope, fingers crossed, that this diary will be a sucess!  :D

Let me say that I love the colors on the Titans. What a great group. They will look wonderful once you finish the bases. I have always liked the Black as a base for Titans.

Hi!

I concur with Dafrca, black with yellow trim look awesome. You have given me a horde of paint scheme when I finally tackle painting (or sending them to be painted), the 40 or so beetlebacks I have lined up.

Stormseer, do you have any ideas for chaos titan conversions?

Good luck with your diary - its off to a great start!

I like your Baneblade additions.  Its mods like that which really give your army character and personality
