Great progress! Really like the earthy colour scheme you've gone for.
Keep 'em coming!

I'll ask to take some pics this weekend. The three armies on the other team are...
- Deathguard, featuring poxwalker blobs, Typhus, the Dark Imperium plague marines, and a sprinkling of nurgle demons. - Imperial Soup, featuring Primaris Deathwatch, Inquisition, and soon some Raptors/Raven Guard. - Imperial Guard, but the person hasn't showed up.

Imperial Soup. For when that pesky cold just won't go away. Now with Gothic letters!

Here's more or less everything I will be using during the course of the league. 49 infantry, 8 vehicles. After this league is over I'm never painting anything ever again. HQs (front rank): The ones in red need a lot of work, the ones in khaki are almost done aside from some details and are finished as far as painting for the escalation league is concerned. Infantry: Done. I could probably do a bit more but I won't for the league.* Dakkabots & Onagers: Onagers need cleanup and work on the guns, one Dakkabot* done, two more base coated. I should finish the bots up tomorrow afternoon/evening. Dragoon: Screw them. One is close to done I guess. *All the skitarii in red and the one dakkabot were already done before the league started.

That's turning into a good sized army. Are the chickenbots that big a pain to paint?

There's just a LOT to do with them, and not priming them silver was really stupid.
Up to 3-0 now, playing the guard player next weekend.

Since I'm actually painted up through the next level of the league (or what qualifies as painted), I took a break and built and a Ultramarines primaris kill team. Sargent Trajan, team leader equipped with an Auto Bolt Rifle, bolt pistol and a power sword he stole from some Catachans.I'm not a fan of the red sergeant helmet, so I just painted the comb of it red. Shoulder pad is from the regular ultramarine upgrade sprue. The Primaris one is pointless unless you want the specific arms or the Aggressor shoulder pads. The rest of the kill team. From left to right, Titus (bolt rifle and grenade launcher), Marius (bolt rifle), Cassius (bolt rifle), Cato (stalker bolt rifle), and Gaius (bolt rifle). Titus is the only one I've done more than base coat. Remainder of the team, no names yet. You can see the pouches I've added to the shoulder pads a little more clearly. Might as well give those pauldrons purpose.

Can he actually unclip his sword without help?

No, but he won't admit it because he's an Ultramarine.

No, but he won't admit it because he's an Ultramarine. This is nearly exactly what I was going to respond with.

Built and primed. I'm going to run it as a Doomhammer or Banehammer, depending on what I need.
Today is the last phase of the escalation campaign before the big final battle. I lost last week (came down to a single dice roll, argh!), so my team is down by one. I've been painting on and off this week to add some units to my army, but that got blown out the window around midnight last night when the guy running the campaign announced the week's mission would be bunker assault and my team would be the defenders. After reading the rules I said "Screw it" and redid my list so now I have my Knight Castellan and two Helverins supported by more or less my original 500pt list.
I get to set up the battlefield, so we'll see what happens.
Edit- Victory, don't try a foot slogging list against a Knight Castellan.

Been hammering out my fluff for my Cadians recently. They're part of an evacuation fleet from Cadia who made a deal with a Rogue Trader. They got to settle one of her worlds, and in return she could call on them to raise a regiment to fight beside her. That led me to build a proxy Creed. That's Colonel Alexandyr Straebo. His backstory is he was the only senior officer to survive in this particular evacuation fleet, although he was crippled during Cadia's fall. The Rogue Trader gave him a fancy hover chair so he can still get around and do his job. I'm going to build a Kell to go with him later.

Nice conversion! That chair looks great. What do you have in mind for Kell?

Nothing fancy. I'm going to take the power fist, some legs, and the flag arm from the command squad sprue and match it with the torso with suspenders from the Taurox kit, and a Orlock head with suitably impressive facial hair. I'm also waiting on a wheeled conversion kit for the Taurox to get here, plus a few other bits and pieces to finish up the army.
Going to try and paint an infantry platoon this week to get the ball rolling.

Sounds good, looking forward to seeing it all come together. Especially the taurox: the kit looks so much better with wheels.

You’ve been hammering out a load of stuff full stop! Your work rate is commendable. I like the back story so far. Loving the Creed conversion, really characterful. Nice to see a different take on Cadians.

One of my friends asked me if she could build my Deff Dread for me for Orktober. I told her that she could, but it had to have wheels because I'm running Evil Sunz. She sent me this at 1:00am

She’s done a cracking job on that! A dynamic pose to be sure. Looking forward to seeing it with a lick of paint.
