Base coats down and washed! All the details barring a few odd bits like power weapons are ready to highlight, which will be the time eater on this project. 35 days to the event. Going to be a push that thats for sure #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting

And thats the base coats on the last 25 done (apart from shoulder pads mind). Going to take a evening to figure out what shades to use on the various bits and then shading the 75 models begins. With 38 days to go! #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammerconversions #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #

Still chipping away at basecoats, did another 25 models worth so just 25 more to go. Then of course, washes and highlights but im doing them in a order so the army is tabletop if not fully painted. Hopefully. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammerconversions #warhammer40k #deathwatch

Base coats on 1/3 of the list is nearly done with 39 days to go. Still a long way to go with the shades and highlights to go an still not sure if its achievable. Mental health taking a beating at the moment and its a lot of work #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammer40kpainting

Trying to decide on the layers to highlight the huge amount of black I need to do. This was a rush paint to get the colours right,think it looks ok.The actual highlight will take ages as I suck at edge highlights #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k#warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #deathwatch

In other news my background for this project has been rewatching the X Files and the weird fog lights last night made me think I was going to be abducted

There he is, last model built of this project. Il spare you the naff scaled cloak which will be replaced but 8 days to build the 75, inly 47 days to paint before the event. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammerconversions #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #deathwatch

Mind you starting to get a sinking feeling about this project. This is a lot of models to paint in a few weeks and not sure its doable without doing crap paint jobs #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammerconversions #deathwatch

In a flurry of effort 3 more squads were done last night, baring a few ammo pouches and grenade belts. One model left to build then 6 weeks to paint… #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40kpainting #warhammerconversions #warhammer40000 #deathwatch40k

Tell them about per Capita! Yes its not very good but I needed to have a little laugh with some of this horribly daunting project >.< #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #hatemonger #warhammer40000 #spaceking #warhammerconversion

Didn’t do much last night as was feeling a bit wiped, managed to do the ATV though which im calling “Cousin, drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!” #warhammer #warhammer40000k #warhammercommunity #warhammerconversions #warhammer400000 #warhammer40k #warhammer

Very quick and rushed Deathwatch Judicar today at lunch, not sure its worked the way I thought it would but will do for now. Tonight I think il try and do a fun model to break up the pace of this project #warhammer #warhammerconversions #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #deathwatch

Last night only got another 5 done and they are my one of the heroes bodyguard. Only downside is all the cool Kill Team Cassius bits I saved only to find out the scale is ridiculous. They are so tiny the bodies are unusable sigh #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k

Forgot to post last nights progress in the 1 week army build. Termies, firstborn and scouts all done bar one scout im missing the bits for. Featuring white metal and finecast pieces! #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammerconversions #deathwatch

Hmmm. Might need a heck of a hero rock to address this scale creep. #warhammercommunity #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammerconversions #deathwatch

Finally started the Deathwatch last night, managed to 2 + 1/2 kill teams. Been putting this off for years as I want to do it right, but think il build, then play a few games to see if its worth rushing #warhammer #warhammer40000k #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #deathwatch

24 years+6 months ago I bought my first White Dwarf, containing Index Astartes for Imperial Fists and Deathwatch. Well I have 500 odd Fists now, about time I take 2 decades of bits collecting+start my Deathwatch army. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000k #warhammer40000 #warhammer #deathwatch

Quick 1 evening build and paint, a zombie for the Undead Imperium. Last model before I start my last army of 10th edition, tho painting this white, blue and blood reeeeeeally is making me think loyalist World Eaters #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #zombies #undead

3 iterations of Sergeant Thorel from armies over the last 16 years. I really thought I had gotten a lot better painting in a decade and a half but room to improve! A bloody big room at that…. #warhammercommunity #warhammer #warhammer40000k #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting

13 days ago I decided to go for my mad plan of painting 2k of Dark Angels for a tournament.Today with 16 hours to spare they are battle ready!Still got highlights, decals and power weapons to go but still happy. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammer40kpainting

Last squad battle ready with 1 night after tonight to go. Basing is in full swing as now watching paint dry, just got to highlight the termies tomorrow before I glue the shields on #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #darkangels

Also fun little side project, the cover art of the Dark Angel is on of my favourite images in 40k so I tried to make a wee srg who looks the same. If I had time Id sculpt robes are well but I reckon hes looking alright #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #warhammertv

Painting the army continues! Started the Lion yesterday morning, finished (battle ready anyway) him in the small hours last night. Also used in game, it did not go well >.< 2 days to go #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting #warhammer40kpainting #darkangels

Pulled pretty much a all nighter last night so as well as Azrael I also built the Intersessor squad baring a helm I need to find, sorted all the various watchers in the dark and started on the Lion. #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting

Quick one evening paintjob on Lord Azrael. Quick paint job means its messy as hell but managed a single highlight haha. 4 nights left to go….#warhammer #warhammmer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammerconversions #warhammercommunity #darkangels

That leaves Azrael Wednesday, the Lion Thursday, Build and Paint a Intercessor squad Friday, and base on Saturday. Very much going to be paying with still drying models me thinks

Battle ready standard done. Not happy with them as need to do all the highlights and redo the red before id call them finished but that will have to wait due to the deadline. 5 days to go and all that. #cuttingitclose #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting

Got these guys based and washed last night, aiming to layer and finish them tonight so I can get on with the other models. 5 days to go…. #warhammer40000 #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammertv #warhammer40kpainting #warhammer40k #darkangels

Next army, next army I take my time

Tabletop standard done (apart from the bases, transfers and shields which will be last min jobs in case I miraculously have time to edge highlight.) not happy with them but thats the joy of rushing everything. #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting

Nearly there on the termies, again no highlights on armour due to time. Il come back to that bit after. 6 days to go #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #warhammercommunity #darkangels #warhammerpainting

Welp a decent chunk of the afternoon and the rest of the base coats are blocked out, metals started pretty much ready to shade. The urge to dip them is VERY strong right now. 8 days to go #warhammer #warhammertv #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammerpainting

Last night I roughly started laying the non metallic bases down. Messy. 8 nights left to finish the army so think If I don’t get these battle ready by tomorrow il abandon the deadline sigh #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammerpainting #warhammer #darkangels

Hate it. Thinking of using a existing army now #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhmammercommunity #warhammercommunity

Welp I fecked up. 9 days left until the event and im getting no where. Leaving these battle ready which kills me because I always mange to highlight normally >.< #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhmammercommunity #warhammercommunity

11 days to go and only managed to recess 1/6 of the army. Not sure I can make this deadline which will the first time ever :( #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity

Meant to post earlier but my house has a gas leak and now we have no gas so FUN, but aside from that operation “paint an army in 2 weeks” is go. As usual given myself no time, done the base coats on 1/3 of the list last night, il see how tonight goes #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000

Tonight im drinking this monstrosity throwback to my early 20s while truing to decide if im going to do my typical “mad paint a whole army in 14 days” project or just bring a already done army instead. By the end of this bottle I shall have either decided or died of sugar overdose

In todays adventures without being social because who needs a social life anyway <cries into airbrush box> I have decided to airbrush the Dark Angels.Will I have to pretty much start over?Unfortunately, yes. #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #painting #hobby #thefumes

Friday night fun with friends time! Joking that never happens so FUMES IN THE SHED TIME IT IS #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #darkangels40k #thefumes

Ok so not fully built turns out I needed to do the flying bases #warhammer #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammerconversions #warhammerofficial #hobby #models #deathfromabove

Might not look much but thats the last of the Dark Angel army built last night. Thats all the models done so onto the painting as soon as I figure out how… #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer4000 #warhammerhobby #darkangels

Also might have had this kit sitting about for a bit. Been a while since I saw the tracing paper on transfers #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k ##darkangels #hobby #warhammerofficial

Last nights Dark Angel effort, 9 plasmaceptors. Got them mounted on sprue so I can paint the backs easier, plus I will he making some terrain bases rather than flying ones so need the gap to work with. #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k ##darkangels #warhammerofficial

Well thats a subtle rebrand I never noticed before #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #darkangels40k #warhammerofficial

More progress made last night, coming along ok. Now for units with plasma #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #darkangels40k #warhammerofficial

Last nights additions to the newest army project featuring something ive never done before…sub assemblies! Figured id try with all the shields that cover all the bits I have to reach #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammercommunity #warhammerpainting #warhammerofficial #darkangels #lioneljohnson

The next project begins. Struggled starting this with the brain weasels hut its started at least! A different one starts tomorrow. Possibly a third on Sunday #warhammer #warhammer40000k #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #warhammer40k #darkangels40k #warhammerofficial

Undead Imperium is all done and boxed up now. Looking forward to playing with the army at some point soon! #warhammer #warhammer40000 #warhammer40kpainting #warhammer40k #warhammerconversions #warhammercommunity #warcom #warhammer #ultramarines #cadia #knights #zombies

Been saving this lot up over the last decade and a half. Now is the time build #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer30000 #warhammer30k #warhammer #horus #horusheresy #legions #imperialfists
