Shaved a nice section off of my thumb this morning.
Now I can’t paint for 2 days at least. This fooks my commission schedule nicely…

Grey Knights Commission – Force Weapon Marines & WiPs
My Goal was to get 15 marines done this week, I had not expected to be redesigning our kitchen & living room. I did manage to get 5 done and 2 characters around 70% finished.
Still lots to do.

Grey Knights Commission – Psi-Cannnon Marines
I’ve been caught in holiday/family madness and have been behind on my updates. Sorry ’bout that.
Anyway I’ve decided to break this project down into similar parts so I can get them done in bunches. I have till the end of Jan to get this project complete and that should be plenty of time.
Here’s the first section complete:
Next section will be 10 Power Sword Marines and a Character. Goal is to get them done by Next Friday.

Grey Knights Commission – Template Model
My first commission project goes to my Pal Dave. I’ve done work for him previously (Dreadnought & Orc Mega Dread) but this will be my first major project that’s not my own.
Dave wanted them done in a Red/Bone scheme a la Menoth from Warmachine. It’s not a large project so I should get them done long before the end of January 2012 deadline.
Here’s template I’ll be taking to Dave for feedback.

Imperial Fists Squad Complete
I finished this squad before Thanksgiving but never posted the pics for it. All and all the squad came out looking pretty good, though I never want to paint yellow again…
I brought them to the store for delivery and there happened to be a terrain piece featuring a downed IF speeder built and painted by the owner of this squad. The bases don’t match up but the squad looks pretty damn sweet sitting in that terrain.
Next up are some commissioned Grey Knights for my pal Dave.

Tomb Kings in Space!?! Sign me up!!!!
I LOVE the Tomb Kings, and this new Necron Codex is swiftly approaching a similar level of interest.
Here’s my take on the Thokt Dynasty found in the codex.
If I can replicate this on a vehicle and 2 more troop types I think I’ll have my scheme.

First Commission Project – Imperial Fists
So I’ve decided to break into commission painting to fund my hobby addiction. I’m going to keep my commissions local for now so I don’t bite off more then I can chew.
The first project is a unit of 10 Imperial Fists. I hate this chapter with a passion and yellow is such a HUGE pain to get looking right, but I’ve been holding onto this unit for my pal Mike for almost a year now so he’s due.
The sergeant’s banner is my first attempt at free hand. It’s not a strong point for me, but I know I have the brush control so it’s time I get some practice in.
My next project will be a Grey Knight army for another friend Dave. I’ll post more on them after I get these bastards done.

Arkhan The Black Complete! & Apophas
Well, he’s done. I’m very satisfied at how he came out.
I have not attempted light sourcing in years and this didn’t come out too bad. I’ll need to refine the technique some but it is rather fun to do.
With Arkhan complete, I believe I can call my Tomb King Army finished. I still have some units to finish off but with 7 characters and 12 units complete, I can proudly say this is the largest army I have ever done.
Feels good.

PS – I painted this model months ago and never took any pictures.
Forgeworld Blight Drones
I placed a group FW order a while back and they arrived. I can’t wait to build/paint these bad boys!
Thing is, what the hell do I do with them after? I don’t have an army to use them in. lol
