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:

  1. Nice work mate! I have to try and knock together some terrain as well for the final month; I have a bit jealous looking at everyone else's photographs with all the cool backgrounds :-)

    1. Thank You! You're right the photos some of the other contestants submitted have such creative backgrounds. Martin's jungle photos last month were especially cool. I realized looking at the photo I used above I need to take a lesson from WD army photos and not put my models BEHIND cover in the army photo :-)

      I'm always good naturedly envious of your light setup and background matte for your photos so maybe it's a grass is always greener situation ;-)

    Nice job as always Jon!

    1. Ha! I threw together my amateur's backdrop combined with my painted gaming board because your epic pictures were always on a board with a backdrop, Dr TV! I feel like we've created some weird Inception loop here ;-)
