Xmas Break
No painting over break but I did manage to pick up some cool terrain for cheap. I'll put up some pics soon. First thing to finish when I get back is that second unit of Duellists.

WIP Imperial Guard
I've finally got a squad of Guardsmen finished (just some small detailing and highlighting left to do + basing of course). My goal with their paint scheme is to actually have them with camoflage - kinda WW2 German style. Of course some things had to be painted the way they are as it is '40k' after all. Thus, obviously the lasguns would look silly if they appeared to have wooden stocks etc. Originally I was going to do all of them in full camo but considering how many minis are going to go into the army... so just the sergeants and officers will have full camo. The 'regulars' will have camo coats and green pants. I'm going with NMM (non-metallic metal) on the guns and ammo boxes, but for things like the flamer and some equpiment pieces I think I'm gonna stick with actual metals. Comments welcome! I'm also planning a few divisions in the army, so there will be a few squads painted in desert schemes (Afrika Korps) and an all gray (Wehrmacht). Stormtroopers (which will hopefully be all-plastic soon!) will get a full camo scheme.
The Sarge - first guardsmen fully painted
I painted his shoulder pads with some isignia - not sure if I'll add it to all the guardsmen - I need to get it smaller and sharper looking - not too happy about how it turned out on the sarge - not sure if red is the color I should use either, perhaps white... ideas welcome

WIP Blood Angels
A few shots of some Blood Angels minis being worked on. I still have basically all of the Black Reach stuff to paint plus the other 4 termis with lightning claws. Once thats all done, there is still a mountain of stuff to paint to finish the army and have it ready for a huge Apocalypse game! :)
Painting Update: Duellists
Its been a while since I've posted any painting updates. Here are some WIP shots of my other unit of duellists. I decided to go with a green/white scheme for these guys. I've got one basically finished right now while the rest are in the "brown" phase.

Terrain: Roads & Castle Ruins
Picked up some roads from the model train section at one of the local stores here. This will be really useful for 40K.
Also picked up a piece of ruined castle terrain. The scale is slightly smaller than Warhammer but it'll still work.
They also sell huge sets of trees here which are actually really cheap - all sizes and varieties of trees as well.

Favorite Retailers: Zuzzy Miniatures
Here is a link to zuzzy miniatures, they make some really cool rubber battlemats that have lots of detail moulded in. They don't have a really big range rigth now, but what they have looks great and I'm sure they'll be adding more. Check them out here.
