WH40K 2nd Edition Army Challenge December

 Happy New Year From The 4th Company Of The First Legion!

Happy New Year and thank you to all those who have been reading along this year.  The latest summary of the 2nd Edition Army Challenge should be up soon so I wanted to post my progress this month as well as a group shot of everyone I've painted so far for the challenge.  This has been a lot of fun and now that the Devastator squad is completed I can also say it's been very helpful in motivating me to add to my ongoing dream project of painting an entire battle company of Dark Angels.  The marines pictured below are the five that it took all of the last two months to complete.  I'm aiming to finish strong by painting my Captain and Techmarine and hopefully a bonus model for January, the last month of the challenge.  Thanks for reading, Happy New Year! and stay safe in 2021  :-)

Be sure to follow all the great painting action over at the:

Warhammer 40k 2nd Edition Army Challenge

Twelve Days of Deathwing - Part Three

 Sometimes There's A Reason Things Are Priced To Move...

Oddly enough I think the two yellow Terminators came from different sources before the reseller threw them together in the bargain bag I picked up.

Twelve Days of Deathwing - Part Two

 Santa Claws Is Coming To Town...

I like to call the guy on the right "The Wolverine" where as the marine on the left has more of a "Ta-da! I have foot long knives on my giant fists" type of a pose.

Continuing the march of soon to be bone white Terminators, these two models are satisfying a desire I've had since I was twelve to field Lightning Claw equipped Terminators.  My first White Dwarf issue I ever bought had an excerpt from Deathwing covering the new to the RT era universe Terminator weapons Lightning Claws and Thunder Hammers. 

Twelve Days of Deathwing - Part One

 Knights of Caliban

Sure the twelve days of Deathwing should have started a few days ago, but this blog never strays from stretching a weak comedy premise for all it's worth.  The insidious forces of Real Life have kept me from generating much content this month.  Legion Chronicles HQ is still hard at work on the 2nd Edition Army Challenge and I should be able to submit this month's work before the deadline.  In an attempt to get something new up for blog browsers to see, I'm rolling out some pictures of my current construction project - the mighty Deathwing! First up are these Deathwing Knights I have been building this month.  While these may look like the hobby butterfly has taken flight again and gotten me way off the miniature painting outline I laid out back in October, they are actually the manifestation of my new hobby outlook for 2021, Always Be Hobbying.  

Imperator Titan!

 

I always wanted one of these giant Titans, I loved the idea that whole companies of tech guard infantry were ready to deploy from the legs of the Imperator Titan.

WH40K 2nd Edition Army Challenge Month 4 WIP Part 2

Progress Crawls Along At The Pace Of One Of Those Fallen Marine Models They Used To Make In The Rogue Trader Era...

It doesn't look much different than the picture from a few days ago, but the reds and yellows have been shaded and the green on the pauldrons has been blended.  I'm working to finish the blending for the greaves and kneepads next.  The page for month four is up over at Dr TV's Cowabunga so go check it out to see all the amazing models that people painted in November for the project.
