HAVE FUN

Ironically, I'm too busy painting Squadrons to paint a Squadron myself :D

Ill paint something. Ive mostly been doing lights lately but I miss painting so I will get a tree done tonight and post here!

No plans on painting a squad this week, have fun everyone. 1 week is far too short a schedule to cram something in imo.

I'm going to do something TIE-Fighter-y. Its technically a commission, but I think I can make something special happen.

Man, I just finished my last ones a week ago. I'd paint something if I had any left. Great idea though!

I'm....in, does it have to be official models or could I use third party squadrons?

Yes... I will partake in this. I've got another box of R&V and Rebel II to choose from. Hmm...

You know what? I need to paint some TIE Fighters. My painted Imperial squadrons right now consist of:

One TIE Defender (base / detail) and a Second TIE Defender (base only).

I'm in! Just cracked open a rebel II pack. Got a cool idea for a VCX.

I'm going to try but my week is so full I doubt I'll be able to actually do it. If I have a WIP, is that excluded? If it is, then I am definitely out because I definitely do not have time to start from scratch. Cool idea!

Decided to knock a few out real quick from the Rebel II pack. Nothing terribly special.

First up is 7pts of fury...Armada needs a hero, a hero Bandit!

OoOoo, neat. I always wanted to see one of these things show up. I have been ludicrously busy, (paintbrush kill-count is no less than 60 astartes, 42 squadrons, and 6 big ships in the past 2 weeks, so I should be able to get something done up in a week) but leeets see what I can think up.

It will be better to pain FFG but I dont see any reason to stop you from painting and shareing effects of your work:)

Luckily I just completed the squadrons from the second Imperial expansion this morning, nothing exactly outstanding but I'll put my VT-49's forward for this:

Nice work @Crucium Giger very clean painting. You inspired me to paint few of mine VT-49

So with a kill count like that, only 1 thing matters.

Where's the ship porn...

What started as an experiment (the wing leader as a counter-colored ship) turned into.. well.. my first set of colored Aces and a unique paint scheme.

Also, hi guys! First post here :)

Reduced to 1 squadron only

'Tis a good time to be back, and I never did stop playing. Just, y'know, lots to paint and 3 campaigns to play in simultaneously. Ship porn, Iiiii'll put the only notable thing I can think of over in the painting bit, you know, so I'm not a diva here. And thanks Drassy -laughs- aaaaah, good times.

I feel like I can post this here since there is nothing of Vykes's up yet ;)

My Ghost.

Had a picture and tried to copy it exactly colour wise. I'm quite pleased how it turned out.

Very nicely done on the Ghost.

I also like the VC-49s.. I need to do my own (got 4!) so maybe it will be something cool to share on here!

I only stopped in to congratulate vykes on his sudden but inevitable betrayal. I mean victory.

This is technically an entry, right?
