So my first game in the Origins RTT was against the enigmatic Eldar, who discarded their normally sneaky ways an decided to bring in the heavy hitters instead. This being my first game ever with my Chaos Marines, I wasn't sure what to expect.

Commanding the Eldar was Jason Garner. Really swell guy, lots of fun to play.

Ok, am officially done for the weekend! The models are painted to tournament legal standards, but just barely. Each model has at least three colors, being green, black and boltgun metal.

I put up a new poll, let me know if you think that counts as victory or not. I'm claiming victory myself, but I'm curious to see what you think.

Tourney legal in 2.5 days. Holy crap. Need sleep.

Thanks,

MegaDave

Ok, they are all green. Got the weapons and backpacks to go, then I'm done for the weekend. I'm calling it a victory as long as they are done before I go to work tomorrow at 7:30. God I hope it doesn't take till then, lol!

Used an entire pot of goblin green this weekend.

One of the many things fueling my quest, diet coke. Delicious, bubbly diet coke.

Thanks,

So the raptors are finished, and I really like them, but they took FOREVER. I have no idea why, but I am still looking at a pile of 30 marines and 10 possessed. Oh well, onward to glory!

Also, Hyde has thrown in the towel, but he is still offering moral support and running to the kitchen to grab me diet cokes. The girlfriend is forcefeeding me as I paint, lol!

So here are the raptors, all plastic, using the wings from the possessed kit. Hooray for no metal!

In case you couldn't tell, the two flamer armed models actually have flame spewing arms!

Well, I'm back to painting, I'm going to see this project through as I am taking this army to the Origins tournament on thursday, so even if I don't get them done by midnight I have more than enough time to finish them by thursday.

Thanks,

MegaDave

Still forging ahead, I've got 46 models to go, I still think I can make it!

Here I am slaving away over the terminators. Sorry about the hat.

The finished terminators!

The completed Chaos Lord!

The minis left to paint...

... they cry up at me, "Paint us MegaDave, paint us!"

Thanks,

MegaDave

I got 8 luscious hours of sleep last night, and i woke up promptly at 9 to work on the rhinos and defiler, and they are now finished!

The three rhinos, ready to rumble!

I'm really happy with how the defiler turned out, it looks mean!

Thanks,

MegaDave

Here are a few more pics, this time of a completed terminator and land raider. i think I'm going to aim to finish the vehicles tonight, and finish off the infantry tomorrow.

Thanks,

MegaDave

Not much of an update, but i got a rhino painted, the other two should go even quicker now that I know i like the scheme.

Thanks,

MegaDave

So the army is now completely primed, and painting has begun. Here is the pic of the color scheme I am going to use for the army.

I am going to start with all of the base coats first and focus on the colors green, gold, silver and black. After that detail will be completed.

Let me know what you think, and keep checking back!

Thanks,

MegaDave
