I am starting off with my latest army to have its turn with the paint brush. I tend to batch paint by base coating and then dry brushing the models. Once this is done I paint each formation slowly model by model until I finish the Army, or I get a new army to focus on for a tournament.
Vraksian Renegades is my current Project.
I have amassed a large Army from various miniature companies. Original GW, and some 3rd party manufacturers such as Vanguards Miniatures.
The photo below is one of 7 lists I am testing for next years CanCon 2017 tournament. I need to build 2 Warhound Titans with Vraks load outs to build 2 of the other lists.
In all I am looking at anywhere between 9 and 11 formations with anything from 68 to 87 units in the different armies. This one is one of the more balanced lists, with others having more infantry, or more Tanks, or more artillery. I am thinking the Artillery or Infantry heavy lists might be the better ones to use.
This is what I have collected so far for the army: Where possible I have included an Enforcer model to represent the actual Enforcer's unit. I will endeavour to paint more miniatures, perhaps 2 more Infantry Platoons and a Basilisk Company so I can have more list options available to me for the tournament.

I will endevour to take more photos of this army and the entire collection in due course.
Later on I will show each army in my collection in turn. I have already posted separate topics on my Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle. I also have armies for White Scars, Sian-Hann, Squats, Emperor's Children, and later on I intend to collect either Tau, Necrons or Dark Mechanicum depending on which army looks to be suited to my personal playing style.
I intend to build each army up to around 8,000 to 11,000 points. Mainly for the ability to mix and match, and have variety in designing my lists. Plus you can never have enough minis.
