Okay so as is customary I am behind on my posts (I try I really do) I didn't get anything painted really just assembled and primed last week this week I struggled to get through the models. I have been painting Sisters (Our Martyred Lady) and Black Legion pretty much for the last 6 months off and on. I have spun in a few Necrons from my Imperium subscription to try to avoid full burn out but I was feeling it on this set. Not even these being the last of my power armored sisters units or the Rhino conversions I have been itching to do for months could stave of the apprehension of painting more of these colors. That all said I managed to push through and finish them this week.
I also took a somewhat painful but reluctantly step which was to take pictures and start the process of selling my custom Space Marine Chapter. The Red Magi have been a staple of my collection since I started. They have been converted, de-converted, stripped and then repainted to their current status. That all said the last time I did anything significant with them was in the global campaign at the start of 8th (I forget the name). They were my go to army for each of the global campaigns and they earned honors on Armageddon, Cadia, Medusa V, and most recently the Ultramar Sector. The final straw though was having to rebase the models to continue playing them. Probably some of the guys in the local group would not complain but enough of them would that I won't bring them to the open gaming nights in hopes to get a game in. So here is one of the last pictures of the lot overall. Individual units are peppered through out the earlier pages of my blog but I think this is the first and probably only group shot of what I have done, (minus two Land Raiders I am keeping for another project.) I don't know if I will redo the chapter with new Primaris models (I have quite a few extras at this point) or let them fade into the warp, maybe write up an ending for them in my personal fluff and let them go.
The next project is some Deathwing Knights (yes I have roughly 5 various Space Marine Armies its a problem) which at least is a completely different pallet then the last few. After that not sure may finish up my Horus Heresy Imperial Fists as I have the parts for the two squads of Phalanx Warders and the Spartans to cap that project off. On a reluctant note I used my second Joker to pick up a copy of Ashe of Faith ass the Inquisitorial unit and the Campaign book were to tempting to pass up for the price. I think finishing my Sisters (minus one unit I am still waiting on a 28mms base to come into my FLGS) counts as earning another one. Until next time Happy Hobbying!
