New edition check in 1

 Hi Everyone 

Time for a quick progress check in. I'll try and do a short post each week to see how I'm tracking, rather than more regular large ones. 

So, first big win, the 10th company batch is finished!




So the bases and transfers are still needing to be done, but that will come later. Next up I started the large batch with all remaining infantry:




Since I had everything in front on me, I quickly rechecked my numbers, turns out there was more left to paint than I thought. I started off with painting the base coats on the majority not silver models (Techmarines, librarians and watchers), then broke out a large brush to start the inks.


Let's check the dashboard:


So far on track, with a couple painting free days in there.

TThat's all for this week. See you soon.

I started the fortnight off with a squad that I was a little nervous about due to their size and details, the bladeguard. It took me most of the week to finish a squad of 10, with a lieutenant and ancient: Overall I was very happy with how well they turned out, and I'm very happy with the decision to add the white helmets for first company.  Next in the desk was a final tactical squad for5th company, and the ancient: I got an extra day off from work on Friday, which meant I had enough time to finish a squad of veteran intercessors as well: The final progress I've was starting on some 5th company assault marines,  which I hope to have finished in a day or two. I was happy with my progress in the second week, with more t

 Hi everyone  Well, in my last update, I had just started working on a massive batch of vehicles. In today's update, they are finished! Here is the full lot below: I painted this in smaller batches, so here are the close ups of each batch: The exciting thing is, that is the full chapter painted! There are some main tasks left, a big batch of bases is next, then it will be transfers for a while. Finally I have some banners for the Sargeants. I have a work trip in the middle of June, so I'm expecting that to be done some time in July.  See you then! Mark
