___________________________________
So I took some time to check out the list and revise it a little. I took off a few pointless items like the Book on the Cannoness. I also made the Melta squad a full Melta so it would be more focused. Finally I added the Brazier of Holy Fire for an extra flamer attack. Any input will gladly be taken.

One down... Almost.

I just finished up 6 of the last 10 models I need to paint for my 1000 point Sisters of battle list and I was thinking about what to do next. As I stated before I have quite a few projects that I would like to get done. My main goal is to get as much plastic, and metal, as possible painted.

I cant decide what to do next though. I have basically two boxes of the Ravenwing to finish building and paint as well as a good portion of regular Dark Angels to finish as well. I have the Black Reach boxset of marines and Orks as well. About 500 points in Daemons half done. Oh and a million small bugs and plenty of Sisters left after what Ive already done.

Feel free to tell me what I should do! To make it easy here's a bullet list.
  1. Orks
  2. Dark Angels
  3. Ravenwing
  4. Daemons
  5. Terrain
  6. Nids

If no one says anything I will probably just pick whatever is closest to me when I go to grab some models. :-P

Ah well. Back to painting, need to get the 6 backpacks done to really call these 6 finished:-P

Fail

So I tried to post this earlier but it didn't work out so well. My computer decided to crash mid post. So although this wont be as nice. Here are the pictures I was meaning to post.




I'm mid painting 6 more and there almost done then I only have 4 left to paint before I'm done with the first 1000 point list.

As a whole so far.

As promised I took a few quick pictures of what I have done with my Sisters of Battle Army. My Argent Quietus as I decided to call them.

Also as said in the previous post I'm working on 3 Heavy Flamers and 2 Heavy Bolters right now. Actually trying a different setup to get the white a little nicer and faster.

They may not be the best painted models ever but let me know what you think.

Heavy Bolter

I haven't updated since I posted my Sisters of Battle list about 5 days ago and in that time I have been trying to paint as much as possible. While with these models I'm not being a speed painter I think with the time available I made a good dent.

So far I have painted the following:
  • Two Immolators that I had previously started.
  • 3 regular Sisters
  • 1 Heavy Bolter Sister
  • 1 (Proxy Heavy Bolter Sister) Multi Melta

I have to base them still but I will be doing that at the end of the whole job. I plan on starting another set of five sisters tonight, they will be the Heavy Flamers for the 3 squads and the rest of the Heavy Bolters.

******

Now Ive been thinking about what to do with the Dark Angels and I think I'm going to start with finishing up 1k points in Ravenwing then work on the plain old Dark Angels since the Raven wing only has like 16 models or so for me to do in total for 1000 points.

______________________________
I will post soon with pictures of my miniatures. My question for this is what would your recommendation be for getting a cheap tripod? I figure I'll just pick up a crappy one from Bestbuy or something but If there's a good suggestion for cheap I would love to hear it.

2009 - Another Year Begins

Thus officially begins year two of the hobby for me.

Through out the past year, and a little more, I have acquired many new "toys" and "little men" as the women in my life like to call them. There is nothing wrong with this, but just like everyone else I have a problem! I get more than I can finish modeling or painting.

So to begin the year my goals are:
  1. First Finish 1k Points in Sisters that I currently own.
  2. 2. Finish my HT conversion as well as paint it.
  3. Finish First 1k Points in Dark Angels that I currently own.
  4. Play a Game with a New person.
  5. Build at least one piece of new terrain for my board.

(I say currently own just because I "need" more to get the Army Builds I want but I want to paint what I have already.)

I have other ideas for this year as well but that's for another time.
___________________________________
This blog will feature my progress to my current goals, any ridiculous ideas that I come up with, and what ever else I decide to put in it. I plan on trying to keep it 40k only oriented. I'm going to post a list of all the models that I can find that I need to paint, 1k army lists with my current models, etc.

My question to everyone is what are your top 5, 10, xx number things you want to get done? and if people read this or the blogs in general what do YOU want to see posted on here? I know I have my list of things I want to do but what would make this interesting?
