Hello
I am transferring my "forum home" to this fun place in anticipation of some Warmaster painting. I am a relative newcomer to the forum, having lurked in the shadow for many years. In the past I contributed a bit to the TacComs sister forum by documenting my progress on different Epic armies:

http://taccmd.tacticalwargames.net/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=18817I have been painting miniatures for over two decades now and cover just about everything in the Games Workshop universe, as well as forays into historical systems such as Flames of War and DBA. You can find some of my armies and projects on my blog:
http://wargamingworkshop.wordpress.com/After a long time in the world of 6mm Epic armies, I decided last year to start a large 28mm project: a full 250 model Blood Angels army (using airbrushing for the first time). It has been a few years since I last painted a large 28mm army so I made the mistake of porting my successful "assembly line" approach from 6mm to 28mm. A year later, with ~200 models about 80% done - but nothing at all truly finished (and thus no pics at all on the blog/forum) - painting morale is at an all time low. Bad mistake.
In an effort to restore morale, I am not turning back to smaller scales. Epic is tricky because I only have two armies left to paint (Adeptus Mechanics and Tyranid) and the new restrictions at TacComs regarding "proxy models" means that I wouldn't be able to post most of the images. Not a great start for a morale therapy. So it is back to the Warmaster scale (and thus this forum).
When the game came out I bought the six core armies and painted five of them (all except High Elves). With GW killing the line, I made some last minute purchases last month to get (almost) everything I need for all the other armies in the Warhammer universe. This post will document my progress as I grind through the lead mountain to spawn losts of little Warmaster forces.
I am more of a painter than player, so the goal for each army is to make a playable 2k force with "some of everything" to capture the "spirit" of each race. I am also throwing in a few Lord of the Rings forces (for Warmaster War of the Ring/Battle of Five Armies).
cheers
