Countin‘ headz! Doing inventory.

Just building the models is sufficient to play with them but lets face it. Painted models look better.

So what chapter should I choose? After a long debate with myself and some inspiration from the Twitch chat I decided to for multiple chapters. Since most of the marines come from various starter boxes (4th, 5th and 9th edition) I opted for “how they where painted on the box. This will look something like this:

The Boxes

3rd edition box

Black Templars

• 9 Space Marines
• 1 Space Marine Sergeant
• 1 Landspeeder

Battle for Macragge

Ultramarines

• 10 Space Marines miniatures
• 1 Imperial Pilot miniature

Indomitus

• 1 Primaris Captain
• 1 Primaris Lieutenant
• 1 Primaris Chaplain
• 1 Judicar
• 3 Bladeguard Veterans
• 1 Bladeguard Ancient
• 3 Eradicators
• 10 Assault Intercessors
• 3 Primaris Outriders

Now these are Ultramarines again aaaaaand I don’t like that. So chat suggested a few unusual chapters and I found one I liked.

Then I forgot to take note and now I don’t know which one it was. But after scrolling through the chapters on https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/ I found a chapter that matches the colour of the three bling bling marines I did some time back. (They came from the first 40k magazine)

Behold! The Hawk Lords!

But there are some more minis to be painted.

• 9 Space Wolves which will be painted as Space Wolves (duh!)
• 1 Space Marine biker on custom ork bike. He’ll be a Hawk Lord too since they have the bike squad.

And then there are 2 painted 2nd edition Ultramarines and the already mentioned Bling Bling Primaris Marines.

If my math is correct then this adds up to 60 miniatures of which 55 need paint.

Oh boy.
