Nice. What's the chapter sigil going to be?

 

Not sure yet

 

Hmm... Are there any Roman symbols that haven't yet been taken by a chapter? Or Greek? Even if that would be departing from the theme of your chapter's name a touch...

Regardless, I'm sure you'll figure something out.

 

How it's going:

 

Final stretch

 

Honored Brother Diogenes has been assembled into sub assemblies for painting.

 

Is said Honoured Brother a completely nude grumpy Ancient Greek hermit inside that sarcophagus?

Why else would he be called Diogenes?

 

A nude except for black carapace heavily physically damaged, yet grumpy space marine.

1. I'm going to be naming my dreads after Greek/Hellenic historical figures.

2. Diogenes is my favorite Philosopher in that I find his story fascinating, so he goes first.

3. I find it fitting, as the sarcophagus is a metaphor for his namesake's Wine Jar.

 

5 Roman citizens, added to my generic human mob unit.

 

So I painted these five boys today.

 

I've been building and priming up a storm the past few days.

6 more nato-ogre conversions

3 misc fantasy human great swordsmen.

A chariot and 2 horses

1 mounted Afghan tribesman

1 space Marine chaplain in primaris standard armor

2 sisters of silence

10 landskneckt pikemen

6 Roman citizens

3 large snake centaur demons from Mantic

3 "abyssal berserkers" large demon infantry

Have been built, primed, or both in the last few days.

 

10 landskneckt needing I clean up stage, some final details, and then basing.

 

Ooh. Warlord games?

 

yea. I dug them out of my stash.

 

I have painted 7 ogres as part of a work project. They will be shown off when allowed, but I am marking them on the list for now.

 

Make that 10 ogres

 

I've primed a dwarf King with shield bearers.

I've also been cleaning and consolidating sprues. This has led to quite a few fantasy-esque conversions between different historical sets to make various human Infantry types.

I've been trying to clean up frames in my personal collection recently, reasoning but if I attack my pile of opportunity like I was going through all of the stages of building and painting a miniature, I might be able to become a little bit more consolidated and with neater storage solutions. Not to mention bits, which until all sprues are cleared can't be master sorted and saved or sold thereafter.

 

+3 for a dwarf King on shield bearers, wip base

Crossing this one off my bucket list once complete, though.

 

10 pikeman for a unit of 40. These are going to take a minor hiatus while I finish some other projects that have been moved up in the queue for various reasons.
