hey Firestorm - I'm feeling much the same at the moment - and I'm older, which means I have less time! :p
But as long as you enjoy it and don't make it a chore - it's great.
By the way - nice objective! I'd missed it earlier on, somehow. :D :D :D

Firstly, thank you Markconz & Vanvlak for words of encouragement!  Even though it feels I'm getting along very slowly, I'm still enjoying painting.  I'm getting quite a rhythm going with my Epic Guard Units, too, I'm finding them quite rewarding to paint.  I'm very tempted to buy at some point in the future 2 or 3 more infantries to make my Guard in to a full regiment - Infantry by the Primarchload!  :;):   :laugh:

Well, my efforts this week have been even more meagre than last, having only painted:

- 2 Stands of Epic Guard
- 1 Marine Devestator

???

To be fair, I did only have two evenings this week in which to paint - I shouldn't be surprised if this is less over the next two weeks (3 pieces of course work and first part of dissertation to give in - joy!  :80: )

Anyway, inspite of fears it'd be weeks before I could post any new pics, here's a couple of pics of the three Devs I've done so far:




Two pics because one is brighter, the other you can see more details on.  I'll post more and better pics once I've finished the entire squad.  Just 5 more to go...  :D

No, they're Fire Storm Chapter Space Marines, my very own diy chapter (my avatar's the Chapter Insignia, which you might just make out on the models...  :8): )

Easy mistake though, they do look very much like Flesh Tearers - well the Devestators anyway, as they've black helmets and shoulder pad trims.

Thank you for continuing positive fedback, keep all the constructive C&C coming!  :cool:

Another week done, some more painting finished!  This week the sum of my achievements was:

- 2 Fire Storm Devestators (one bolter, one Missile Launcher)
- 2 Epic Ogryn stands

I'm reasonably satisfied with these, although I messed the faces on the ogryns up a little bit (too much paint smothering the details! :angry: ).

Oh, and I actually did a little bit more to that Epic Inquisition Drop Fortress I started months ago... so I might actually have it finished in time to enter in the 'Open' category of this year's EpiCompetition! :laugh:

Next week, I have more Devestators to paint (should have this squad finished in two weeks time), and 2 Epic Guard Snipers stands - which means I'll have painted all the infantry in this army!  Yayyy! :D  Just loads of tanks after that... ???

Hello, just a quick note as I'm facing something of a semi-miniature personal crisis.

Last night, my computer packed in :angry: (thank you for making such reliable operating systems, mr Gates!). ?This is NOT a good time for that to happen - I have a piece of course work to hand in this week - which was on my computer and was 2/3 finished. ?Not only that, I've got tonnes of notes and scans I needed for my Dissertation project on there too - I spent many hours getting those!

So what's this got to do with my big paint? ?Well, seeing as I'll be spending the next few days sorting my computer out and re-writing my assignment :angry: I may not have as much time for painting. :(

I'll keep you all posted... as I know how you hang on every word in this thread... :;): ?:laugh:

Ouch indeed, how is it that these things always seem to collapse on the eve of a big submission?
Hope you get it all sorted.

Sorry to hear that, firestorm. That's why I got into the habit of storing important things like that on a floppy. I learned the hard way, too.

Thank you everyone for your words of support.  I'm taking my computer to get it checked over tomorrow morning - looking for a quick fix, to be honest - if not, I'm going to lose a lot of work... also stuff like pics of everything I've been working on - but thank goodness there's forums like this where I've got some kind of record if I have to completely reboot my computer.

@ DS - The ironic thing was over Christmas I was planning on getting EVERYTHING on my computer (Pictures, PDFs, Documents) backed up on DVD Rom.  You just don't know when the worst is going to happen, I guess!  Lesson learned :(

@ kr00za - thank you for your positive feedback, glad you like my marines; I especially take it highly from someone of your considerable model-making talent! :cool:

Hi!

I know how you feel. I had a wierd hard drive failure which made me reformat everthing with some data loss. It sucked. Luckily I do routine backups, so most of my stuff was safe. Still lost a good amount not yet backed up though... :(
