A Tale of a Winter Rumble

[Pherion]

Ok, we all agreed we'd have a 2k army painted by the next time we wanted to get together, which is already starting to approach! God how time flies ;; We've got 5 months till December, so lets get cracking!

Later today I'm going to be writing up a 2k SM list that I want to get painted for our next gathering, so show me what you've got, post your list, or a general idea of how its going to be, then start posting WIPs! We've only got 5 months!

(anyone else who wants to try and get a 2k army done is welcome to join as well!)

Aaarrgghh! (No that's not a waaagh) Since we've met, I've gotten exactly 4 Burnas painted.

Here's my list and status of paint

HQ
Warboss ChompGobb - Fully Painted
Big Mek - (have one fully painted but the one I want to use is halfway painted)

Troops
'Ard Boys - x20 fully/mostly painted to include Nob upgrade (Battlewagon needs more paint)
Trukk Boys (shoota) - 12 Table top quality to include Big Shoota and Nob upgrade (Trukk complete)
Trukk Boys (Shoota) - 12 Table top quality to include Big Shoota and Nob upgrade (Trukk needs more paint)
Nobz - 11 Some fully painted, some primed (needs lots of paint work here) (Humma fully painted)

Elites
Burnas - 9 fully painted (Battlewagon needs more paint)
Lootas - 10 (Fully painted)

Fast attack
Deffkoptas - 4 needs paint

2K points

So, it's well within the realm of possibilities to get these done at least to table top quality. BUT, I have a baby coming....maybe sooner than later. Wish me luck in both the painting and the baby.

And I'm going out on a limb to say you'll get yours done and I'll probably STUMBLE hard. Hehe. Good luck with your army painting.

[Pherion]

I'm hoping this thread will give me some motovation! Lots to paint, and some fun stuff. I'm especually looking forward to the Inquisitor and his retinue. They are going to be a blast to paint. I'll be doing them one at a time, so they don't all look the same. Even if I use the same colors on some of them, I'm hoping I end up with differnt shades to keep them individual! Should be fun :-P

P.S. Cons? CK? Where's your stuff!? :-P

[Artsoldier35]

Me TINKS DEY BE SKAIRED!

[Consadine]

I might use your Eldar, Pherion! I do want to have a few games with them, though, so there aren't so many Marine vs Marine games going on.

Not sure on a 2k list yet. I do like the one I had, although I might trade the sniper scouts with something else.

[Pherion]

Let me know what you want to do for the Eldar, and I'll make sure its painted (if i have time!) lol... You've got most all the options except harlequins... I think I have everything else in the codex LOL

[Captain Kellen]

Ok... I'm scared...

[Artsoldier35]

CK, I read your other thread on these guys and I am honored you think my Boyz are a threat. HEHE. As you can see, I'll be bringing my same list but hopefully a lot more experienced. i may change some numbers around in my elites groups though. How's three squads of 7 lootas each sound?..........LOUD! WAAAUGH!
