Ok, so it's been awhile since I posted anything. Not much has changed, life is very, very hectic. The baby is a baby still and takes up most of my time at night. Work is crazy. Basketball and softball on the weekends. Just not much extra time.

So, I needed motivation to paint my stuff and I think that I found it.

This is a forum that I recently joined. It covers Utah, Arizona, Nevada & California. Our gaming group has spread out and we have lost touch w/ some of our old members and this has been a good tool to reconnect.

I posted something in the 40K section about a painting challenge and got a response from the Lord of Excess himself. I was happy to hear from Larry again and miss the friday nights at the garage.

Larry is up to the challenge and even offered to double my painting total. We agreed on 500 pts for the first month. We start October 1st.

Now, here is were it gets tough - what army to choose??

I have been collecting/playing 40K since 1999 and over those years, I have gone through a bunch of armies:
marines
orks (completely painted)
tallarn
khorne chaos
flesh tearers
cadians (completely painted)
grey knights (completely painted)
sisters
necrons
deathwing/ravenwing (completely painted) - current
iron warriors (mostly painted) - current
slaanesh - current
vostroyans (mostly painted) - current
sisters again
eldar - current
dark eldar - current
pre-heresy world eaters - current
black legion - current
daemons (mostly painted) - current
dark angels - current
word bearers - current
catachans
chaos guard
more guard - current
flesh tearers (again)
space wolves

so, I have gone through mostly everything at one time or another it would seem.

I recently read some of the black library books so am considering either word bearers or soul drinkers. I also have a few ideas for my other guard stuff and salamanders. Flesh tearers would probably be the easiest of them all and I just managed to get a bunch (50+) oop and hard to find flesh tearer shoulder pads. Space wolves would be a good choice also, but they will be the flavor of the month in a week or so (but the models do look very nice).

I have a difficult choice to make.
