You want to get rid of Forgeworld stuff?
Thanks - I still have a long way to go though. I still need to do final highlights and all the detail work. It's just daunting to do all of it at once, so it is taking me a while. I need to break it up into smaller chunks. And, no, I'll be keeping the FW. Thanks though

That is indeed an envy inducing amount of FW.
Also, imperial fists
Yeah, I bought it all when the exchange rate was somewhat decent. I like the GW sculpts - I think they have character. Bedrolls, packs, tarps, etc, but, man, the cost is out of control. Even with a 1:1.35 exchange rate, I got my chimeras for 50% of what GW was charging. You can't beat that, you know?
One vote for Imperial Fists! I don't know... I like them both. I was just doing the Blood Angels as a test, thinking I wasn't going to like it, but it is growing on me. One of the guys in the group might be doing Fists though, and I don't want for both of us to do the same army. I'm going to talk to him and see what he's got going on.

The Guard is looking better and better man. What did you hit them with, a Camo green drybrush?
Thanks - maybe the paint gods will talk to the gaming gods and let me win for once this weekend! As for the paint, no, it's all Vallejo, and went this way: Brown Violet base, heavy wash with Badab Black, drybrush Brown Violet, drybrush Russian Uniform Green. There will be a final light edging done with a mix of Russian Uniform and Yellow Ochre. After that, I need to work on details like weapons and unit markings.
I wanted to go to more of a WW2 scheme, so I found a Flames of War US Tank tutorial to use as my guide. I think the techniques are more suited for a larger scale model, but I think my models will look alright in the end.
I can tell you that I will not want to paint OD Green again for a long, long time. Hence the brightly colored Marines coming next.
