Holy thread necromancy, Batman!
I seriously did not realize that it has been nearly two whole years (!) since I last posted here. While I still managed to paint, build, buy and actually play Epic, I did not manage to post here regulary. This is partly due to a weak playing performance and many private stuff happening (about which I am prett happy, nonetheless).
Back in 2016 I frantically painted up some Ultramarines for EEC. Shortly after, I moved to another town, which had zero interest in Epic. I decided to play something radically different next EEC and wanted to play Guard. But I finally wanted to play Air-Guard, so I painted up a metric ton of Valkyries and Vultures and did okayish in Denmark. Still, no Best Painted for my Guard, so I moved on to another, more excessive project - even more than the Ultramarines. So what is more excessive than tons of freehands? Tons of sculpting little 6mm buggers. Nurgle Chaos Marines converted from the CAD sculpts! I have successfully painted up roughly 4500 pts for now and will cease the project for now, moving on to the next: Battlefleet Gothic.
Interim I played in France (November 2017) and painted up Vindicators and a second squad of Space Marine Scouts. At the Wintermanöver I played Scions of Iron, so I painted up a Landing Craft, two Thunderhawk Transporters and another squad of Tacticals. Oh and 6 Land Raiders, because, reasons. After the tourney in France I was asked to paint up each troop type of the Codex army at least once, for the purpose of using the pictures in the new upcoming french army book - which I also did. To top off my Ultramarines I painted up a Stormeagle, as I used it in a development list tournament in Berlin.
So here is the list what I managed to paint:
