Well, no pics for the moment (I'll try and take some tomorrow). But in good news, I have a full Battle Company (Devs, 2xTacs, 2xBikes) plus a little support (2x Thunderhawk, Whirlwinds, Land Speeders) painted in green, grey, and silver (and black, since that was their basecoat).

Next step is doing a bunch of touchups, then testing a lot of different basing methods so I can do something that appropriately resembles the Scottish Highlands in late summer/autumn. I'm thinking a mixture of 4-6 parts yellow static grass to 1 each of black and green, plus some rocks. Alternately, I may look into some ground cover-style stuff. Recommendations welcome. :)

Well, time has gone by, and some progress has been made. I got the grey and metal details done on everything that hasn't been soaking in stripper. I'm waiting for some rare earth magnets so I can properly do my Devastator and Tactical detachments, and for another Character Pack so I can have a bike Chaplain (I ordered one, and it was the only figure that wasn't there).

I also, in a fit of madness, painted hearts on all the infantry (except the Bikes), added the company color to everyone's kneepad, and painted the command squad's banner (I'm going to have two banners - one to represent a Supreme Commander, and one to represent just a normal commander).

Still to do for the Stone Hearts:
Magnetize and paint command staff (one banner, one Captain, one Librarian)
Finish details on command squad
Paint hearts on bikes, Land Speeders, Rhinos, Whirlwinds, Thunderhawks and Vindicators
Touch up hearts on other infantry
Figure out a good method of doing highland bases (and actual basing, of course)

Still. That little bit closer. :)

The magnets and Bike Chaplain have arrived, so I can begin making a bit more progress on this soon. Still waiting for my highland materials.

An update:

I'm deep in the guts of a law journal issue, and then I've got moot tryouts and job applications to prepare. Thus, not much has happened (though I did take some time and do company markings and hearts on all my little infantry devils).

However! The stuff to make proper highland bases has finally arrived, as has my Chaplain on Bike. I'm going to try and do a bit of painting this weekend, and will perhaps try mocking up a highland base or two.
