I'm driving myself up the wall with my inability to stick to one project. So, I've come up with a plan.

• I build a Space Marine model;
• I choose 5 different Chapters and put them in a poll;
• The Frater of the B&C decide which of the five I actually paint by voting for their favourite choice (the vote is open for approx. 24 hours, one vote per Frater... except for me);
• I paint the model in the chosen colour scheme and base it (I have three days to do this);
• As soon as I finished, I post the end result in this thread;
• Rinse varnish, put into storage, and repeat.

Note #1: Due to various circumstances, I may not be able to finish off a model in the given time. With that in mind, I have one "joker" per month where I can add two days to the time available. These are non-transferable to the following months.
Note #2: So as to not flood the thread with mono-word/line replies, please use the third-party poll linked below.
Note #3: If there's enough demand before I start painting any given model and I have the time, I am willing to prepare and share mini-tutorials in return for your help with choosing what Chapter to paint next. Just ask and I'll see what I can arrange!

I voted for - -- - - - . You needed a larger selection.

[Dosjetka]

Five seems like a good start. I'll see how it goes and then will decide whether or not I add more Chapters. I figured that going with GW's "Big Five" was a good decision and provided people with enough variety.

Hoping to see your take on a Dark Angel!

Hoping to see your take on a Dark Angel!

Normally, Imperial Fist would've been my default choice, but something about the mix of bitz whispered in the darkness, Dark Angel...

[Rune_Priest_Rhapsody]

You'll never guess which chapter I voted for...

 

End of Line

[Dark Rage]

Gonna have to be a Dark Angel, getting ahead of myself but if its a dark angel will you be using pre or post heresy colours?

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Aww, I was hoping for more choices. I voted, but I'm going to suggest Red Scorpions to go with that helmet.

Dark Angels, right?

Good question. Unless I specify, it'll be post-Heresy colours.

More choices? OK, for the next vote there'll be more choices.

 

I had a peek at the results and... heh, well... I shouldn't be surprised. ;)

[GrandMagnus]

Good, now show me a blood angel! :P Looking forward to seeing what you do Dos.

[zxyogi]

Could only vote for the Bloodline of one of my favourite Chapters Marines Malevolent.......Imperial Fists.

[Leviathus]

I was going to vote for Blood Angel but then I remembered you already painted some red marines recently ;) so.... Dark Angels it is! :P

[Dosjetka]

Thanks folks!

 

Since I'm itching to get painting, I'll close the poll in a couple of hours. The end result is pretty clear, so I can already start getting my yellow paints ready. ;)

[Dosjetka]

Vote over! Result:

So, unsurprisingly, an Imperial Fist! He'll be finished by Friday evening! I'll also take the time to document each step (as requested by WarriorFish and AGPO a while back) and then post a tutorial.

Thanks for voting!

[Leviathus]

Awesome! Imperial Canaries it is then :P looking forward to see him painted :tu:

[jimbo13]

This will make up for your lack of fistiness in the Imperial Fist painting challenge.

[Brother Pheidias]

I'd be sad if it wasn't because you can never have too many Imperial Fists...

[Dosjetka]

Current state of the model. I've literally just sat down now to paint him.

It's going to be a challenge to get him done by tomorrow evening with a tutorial, but I've vowed to get it done and so will do my damn best to see it through!

Awesome! Imperial Canaries it is then looking forward to see him painted

Heh. Says the Astral Kitten.

This will make up for your lack of fistiness in the Imperial Fist painting challenge.

What company?

Indeed it will!

Probably 5th. Easiest to roll with, especially now that I have less time than planned.

I'd be sad if it wasn't because you can never have too many Imperial Fists...

Quoted for truth.

[Dosjetka]

The extent of my work tonight:

Clean-up, basecoats for the other parts and highlights are all going to happen tomorrow. Oh, and basing. Never forget the basing! :ph34r:

[Blindhamster]

nice base colour work very clean and crisp. good choice in helmet too.

[Dosjetka]

Cheers mate, glad you approve. :)

 

If anyone's interested in getting a head start on their yellow Space Marines, part 1 of my tutorial is already up! Check it out and I'd appreciate any feedback that you'd care to share. :tu:

[GrandMagnus]

That's a nice shade of yellow, Dos.

[hushrong]

That's a weird way to start painting a Dar... oh.

 

Well, I cannot complain about the new WIP. He is looking sharp already!

[Leviathus]

He looks great already! And nice step by step tutorial so far mate! This will surely help a lot of people :)

[RedInventor]

Your yellow loks great!
