I know some of you have been asking about them. So I took some quick snapshopts, warning large photos.

The full army so far.
Infront you can see the commander and the so far completed command squad.
Behind them to the left is 1 tactical squad to the right is the tactical squad I got out of the battle for Macragge starting set. They are horrid solid things I hope to replace soon.
Next is the Pred and random terrain bits from old plastic army men that are about the right size.
You will also see apile of sandwitch bags that contain my sanguineary guard. My mug fulll of beer caps and some random guy holding the stanly cup.

Have you ever considered spray-priming your models black before starting to paint them? That way any hard-to-get spots you miss don't glare, and it makes it easier overall to paint the models, not needing to layer as much.

Shiny! :3

Looks good, maybe a thin layer of darker wash
to make the colors blend in nicely.

I agree, priming your models or using colour primer is the best way to start out when painting models. You can always order them from the internet, places such as Maelstrom Games or the Warstore have them up for sale.

You don't need GW-brand primer, I use Krylon, which costs about $6 a can and you can get it at Walmart or any craft store.

Ok, since the last time I posted here I have finished the Sanguineary Novitiate a sergeant and half finished the banner bearer but leaving the banner for another time, so hes just holding his pole. I have also done alot of work on the pred so now the turret is almost done.

Also, I do prime my minis by hand. However the chaos black bleeds through blood red like a mother. So I have to put on like 4-5 layers.

Using two thinned layers of Mechrite Red (a Foundation paint) over Chaos Black helps a great deal when working up to Blood Red, reducing the number of layers a model receives and not ruining any detail under numerous layers of paint.
