Decided I'm going to do a photo dump of some of my existing armies. Photos of varying quality, got to get a good army photography setup one day...
Starting with my Legions Imperialis "Defenders of Terra" army, mostly Imperial Fists with White Scars allies and some titans and knights.

Another awesome weekend Horusing some Heresies with my Ultramarines. Didn't take as many photos as I should so just a smattering of random pictures from me.

It's not a question of if I'll buy this kit. More of how many I'll buy.

These guys are coming out pretty nicely. Think I'm nearly there with all the Legion unique squads for my Ultramarines. Got to make a Praetorian Breacher squad and then I'm all set.

IDK I think it needs some more trim.

Spent most the day building these, partly because I kept throwing tiny pieces on the floor and partly because I had to print four different variations of the launchers before I liked how they fit. But now I'm very happy with them.

Some scale comparisons between the new termies and the old. All the extra height seems to be in the legs and waist. Also going to see what the old arms look like once I've got the body together.

Been spending time finishing up my Ultramarines. I painted a lot of them up quickly for a game weekend but they were pretty rough. Now trying to get all the fancy bits done like transfers and proper basing.

What a load of horseshit from @warlordgames.com
I'm super happy not to spend any money on @warlordgames.com if this is their attitude toward women in the hobby.

Progress report on the 5th Battalion, 191st Death Korps Assault Korps. Tanks almost finished; artillery about half done; 7 out of 10 platoons complete. Here are about 15,000 pts, 550 infantry, 30 tanks, and 15 guns. The Imperial Guard stands ready to defend the Imperium!

Couple of extremely quickly painted test minis for Kriegsmen. Forgot their shoulderpads woops.
My take on the 143rd scheme. I think I like the right with the mode blue coat more.
Tagging in @edpaintskrieg.bsky.social as someone who has probably painted more Krieg figures than anyone 😄

Another experiment in airbrushing contrast paint. This is Blood Angels red. Which went on suuuuper translucent and and kinda darker than I expected? Not an awful base coat but I think it'll need something brighter to help it pop.

It's amazing what a productivity booster an airbrush can be when it's working properly. An hour more work and I've put a little pass of Yriel Yellow on the Achilles and base coats on a pair of Vindicators and a Proteus. At this rate I'm going to have to build more tanks.

@stahly.bsky.social absolutely delivering the goods as usual. Excellent comparison of the new termies. I like them more in this context. Still going to end up converting them.
They're not as tall as I thought they might be, but the change to the shoulder pads really alters the silhouette.

First attempt at spraying contrast paint through my airbrush. Pretty good. Very vibrant and quick to go on, but also extremely transparent so my under painted brown is a bit more obvious than I'd intended. Still lessons learnt.

Anyone have any recommendations for light grey/off white acrylic airbrush primer? I've got a bottle of Vallejo surface primer but it clogs my airbrush after minutes. The bottle is old and probably full of crud, but if I'm buying a new one may as well try something else if there's better options.

So Star Wars Legion. The new minis look fantastic, and the current edition of the rules seem pretty playable from what I can tell. Anyone I know playing it? Kinda tempted to pick it up in the coming year.
