NZ40Kabal- the Doom Legion

Welcome back everyone  The last couple of weeks have had a bit of a painting focus for me, I'm very keen to get 1st and 5th companies finished as soon as possible. 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...

Gratuitous terminators  Welcome back everyone!  Thanks to everyone who came and checked out the one year anniversary post, I hope you are enjoying watching this come together as much as I'm enjoying building it! This last couple of weeks felt like a drag. Whenever I order anything, I have a bad habit of checking it progress on tracking way to much, and since we went into Levek 3 lockdown it opened up a wider range off stuff to order. Unfortunately for us and the rest of Auckland, so postage went bezerk and it took a while for everything to arrive! Some things I was waiting for were more nuln oil, some matt white from army painter and an army painter wet pallet which too about 2 weeks. More models are coming, but back to them soon.  I did finally manage to pick up more spray paint, so I started off with a big batch spray: so Shiney and chrome I always love this step, as it means the whole chapter is one color, rather than a hodge podge. I have decid...

Hi everyone  Although I started writing this blog (on my previous platform) in November, this project really kicked off in September 2020, this is when I first sat down, looked at my existing marines, put my plans in place, and purchased a whole pile of first born marines off Ben. Since this month marks the 1st birthday of thos project, I thought it would be nice to look at where its at right now, and what's next. All the boys Let's start off with some photos, here is the full chapter so far: Then company by company: First company  2nd battle company- Mark 9 primaris  3rd battle company- Mark 10 Gravis 4th battle company  5th battle company  6th reserve company- all mounted on bikes or speeders 7th reserve company- all tactical marines  8th reserve company- close support squads  9th reserve company- fire support squads  ...

Welcome everyone  Well I'll start from the top this week, I finished a battle company!  Well, if I'm honest there are a few little bits to go, namely back banners on the sargeants, and the chapter symbols. Both of those need component purchased that I'm likely going to get once all the infantry is purchased. I'll then bulk finish those components for the whole chapter. So let's take a closer look at what I finished off this week. First up was the remaining infantry to paint for the company. This consisted of 10 assault marines, and 2 devestator squads.  I'm still in lockdown, so I spent some evenings, and a little bit of was supposed to be a quiet holiday painting, and I think I can probably paint a marine with my eyes closed by now, so it was only taking a couple of sessions per squad, and all 30 took less than a week. I didn't quite have enough bases to finish the company, and was missing some for...
