Lol well there does need to be a target now. I think anyway. The Space marines I have are part of a campaign I went to. There were 3 different points levels. 1k, 2k and 3k. You didnt have to link the lists. So I had a deathwatch themed 1k, my regular 2k army which this unit is part of and the 3k was all tanks including a baneblade. I tend to paint by units otherwise I get bogged down and overwhelmed.
The unit I am currently on is one of the 5 man tactical squads with missile launcher. One guy had already been done as a tester model with the new paints. So the rest of the squad is catching him up. Next I will finish the 5 man sniper scout squad I started a little while ago, with them done it also means I have a fully painted legal army (2 troops & 1 HQ).
I would probably say that the blue for the armour takes up about half of the painting time for the whole model, also for me small progress is significant because I have had these models long enough and not had them painted. Cheers for the interest, and pics can follow with last night's progress

2nd highlights and the glaze for the blue armour have been applied. That makes the blue done. Better get some pics up tomorrow too.

Finally got around to getting a lot of the green work done on These 4 marines. The time actually spent on the green is soo much less than the time for the blue. Should get highlights done in one sitting for the green areas, then its time for the red and metal areas.

Just a quick update after a week of being ill and having headaches. Got the main bulk of "colouful" painting done. Gonna let the glazes dry over night and then set off with the metals tomorrow, I'm fairly quick with metal areas so they shouldn't take long, nearly there now.

Finally it is done. I have finished the 5 man tactical squad I have been working on. Its taken me a while but they are finished. Although I haven't done anything with the bases as I'm going to get some resin ones for finishing them. Still need to choose where I am getting them from though. Hope you enjoy!

I tend not to do squad markings, its something I may look into in the future though. I have just finished making a shortlist of bases to use too.

Yeah, some nice resin ones. My Eldar and pre-heresy Death Guard already have resin bases too.
