Paintathon

Well i set my self a challenge the other month to paint at least one kill point a month as im sick of having unpainted armies when i play 40k (well, when i get chance to play that is).

I think its safe to say that ive been doing quite well. This post is going to be quite picture heavy as ive done pretty well. A couple of models were already painted but ive FINISHED the squads to make the kill points (apart fromchaplain Cypher of course as he is a whole kill point on his own (-; ).

Ive been into the hobby since near the end of 4th, so i was about 25, but only started painting my models a year ago after reading up on painting moldels from alot of blogs, and to be honest, if it wasnt for reading other peoples blogs for tips and tricks i dont think i would've ever started. But now i have started and am improving with each model i paint i still read a lot of blogs to keep me motivated, as i dont think i would have pulled my finger out to get my toys finished if it wasn't for the inspiration i get from seeing all the great FINISHED models i see on the blogosphere (even just the odd one off models people paint for the sake of doing a different colour marine). I especially want to thank Ron from, from the warp as its his blog that motivates me A LOT, his painting is great and his advice is even better. Even with the cutbacks in posts due to his house having a fight with a flying tree his blog is still pure gold. Hope you get sorted soon Ron and get a brand new geek space to mess up again.

Anyway folks heres the models ive got done in the last 2 months. (Except for the razor back though, i did that a year ago)

And yes i am quite smug of my efforts :-)

P.S Thanks again Ron for kranking out great models and blog articles that have helped me get these bad boys done. Only 4 speeders a rhino ,a land speeder 20 scouts 5 assault marines 20 marines Ezekiel and a tech marine to do now..................................... oh god help me lol.

THEN i can start on finishing my Tau.

I really wish i hadnt tried doing a lightning effect on this guys sword, i think i might go back to him and drybrush some zenithal effecsts instead like the other guys weapons. Oh well, nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.
