Nice Will, looking very smart, like the highlighting.
Thanks guys
I managed to get chisel assembled and got some paint on her for yesterday's game against Chris. I'm pleased with where she's at but I feel that I can improve her a lot more. So she will be going back on the painting table. Such a cool model in my opinion, loads of character, it's hard to do her justice.

It's the miniatures mostly really nice to work with.
There's a few of us starting to play now, not sure on exact numbers but somewhere in the five or six regon. I'm happy to give anyone an intro game if wanted.
I'll stick a quick update on as well to keep me honest. Not a lot of progress but I've started detailing my first paris class frigate for halo fleet battles and made some progress on the tyrant guard for my Tyranids. I keep using them in games even though they arn't painted so decided to switch it up and paint some of them, (plus I'm seven SDV corvettes into my covenant fleet and needed a break)

My painting table currently, until I pack the tyrant guard away for my game later
December 14
So I've become distracted from my halo fleet painting because of the new shineyness that is my dropzone commander Post human republic army. I've been contemplating getting dropzone pretty much since it got a plastic starter box but have always had too many other things to model paint and play, but after an introductory game from Chris I've become hooked. (
so it's Chris' fault )
I managed to snag a good core of an army from ebay really cheap and added a new plastic starter box to make what I have a legal force. So have ended up with 1500pts to paint up!
Progress so far
I've gone for a close to the standard phr look but with a more weathered used look ( These are war machines after all) . Also the cockpits are painted to stand out more and make the paint scheme a bit more striking. I'm thinking of trying to paint some decals onto each of the walkers. The idea being that each pilot will have personalised their own walker!

Ground forces I've got so painted up. Only(!) six more walkers, two APCs, and six stands of infantry left and the ground pounders will be done

close up of the infantry, these are the metal infantry that hawk does. So much detail in such small models! Slightly disappointing that the plastic infantry models don't have anywhere near the same level of detail, but then again they are cheap and chearful. I'll put comparison photos up when the plastics are painted.

Finally what I have painted of my dropships, just the one :/ I have still to give this a nuln oil wash to bring more of the details out and help give a "war machine in use" look and the engine nacels need more work. Only four more medium dropships like this and four more light dropships to go.
After ages, of no hobby progress at all
I've finally got my dropzone stuff out and began painting again. Progress has been good but still a lot to do! Hoping to get everything done by the end of the month is my attempt at a realistic goal...
My entire PHR force as it currently stands :-

Over the last few nights I've been concentrating on getting the hades at least painted to table top standard. It's supposed to be the centre piece of the army so I'm attempting to take my time with it. It's a big model though and I'm impatient. Haha
still havn't found my camera so have to make do with phone camera pictures

amazing model, so much detail and it looks awesome! I need to do a lot more to do the model justice
In other news I've bought some hive tyrants for my tyranid army off ebay, and some reaper miniatures figures to start building a proper frostgrave warband. I've just about managed to paint more than I bought so technically I'm making progress on the great pile of unpainted miniatures!
