Terminator progress and starting some Horus Heresy Imperial Fists
I've got some updates for a Crimson Fist Terminator squad, I have to do some more for the small parts and then move on to a wash. I'd like a stone effect for the inner section of the shield but I don't have the painting skill to do something effective so I'll go with a solid colour.
In another Era, I've started building up my Outrider squad and I'm going to do a 30k army with them.
It's a kit I've had for awhile and after some tactics coverage from the Eye of Horus podcast (Episode 29 @ 1:14:00 mark) I've gone back to them. I've also pledged them to the Imperial Fists expansion on Bolter and Chainsword and plan to use the airbrush "recipe" that Krakenfiend posted in the thread.
----------------
1. Prime White
2. Use air brush to base coat model with Vallejo Model Air Golden Yellow (71.078)
3. Use air brush to apply thinned down Vallejo Model Air Burnt Umber (71.040 thinned 2 parts thinner to 1 part paint) to the models recesses and areas that would have a natural shadow (like the bottom of the thunderfire cannon side skirts).
4. I apply an oil wash in the recesses and around bolts to define these areas better.

Hobby progress - March complete
I managed to finish off my librarian terminator with a rush paint job, 3 hours of late night painting from a blue basecoat followed up by another hour of washes.
A finecast model with plenty of faults, many of which others have complained about and pointed out. It was a nice model to paint except for those faults and the fact I assembled it before hand, that was my biggest mistake.
This post is a bit out of order, I thought I had published it last month but obviously never hit the publish button.

Hobby Progress - A dent in April
I've dusted off the airbrush compressor and made a temporary space to start putting a basecoat on my hobby progress units. I've also made a move over to dedicated airbrush paints so I don't have to thin out GW or mix in other colours to make a blue I like, I never remember recipies and I'm dire at writing them down. Two paints I settled on where Vallejo's Blue Angels and P3's Blue Exile. I had to thin the P3 a bit to make it suitable but I liked the colour, it reminded me of the old Crimson Fist artwork.
I liked both so I asked the Google+ warhammer community and on the hobby progress thread as to which one everyone prefered and the Vallejo colour has come out in front. I gathered up my forces last night and set to spraying.
A good bit has been done, I've left the assualt marines as they need more work to fix broken hands and weapons, perhaps in the next hobby progress phase :)
I selected two models that where the same, a terminator from Dark Vengance and two plasma Dev's from a past ebay purchase. Left is Blue Angels, right is Blue Exile.

Hobby progress Feburary and March
Last months entry has gone well, a basic tabletop standard Ironclad Dread.
There's plenty on this model I'd like to do again but considering it's been a year or more since I assembled it and nearly that long since I painted anything so I'm happy with a basic table top standard. Once I get the rest of the army painted I may revisit this model.
I've moved on to a Terminator Librarian and I was about half way when I got impatient with the painting method I was using and added a bit more pigment for the blue armour and that ruined the paint job. I thought about it and just decided to strip it back to the resin and start over again but with a shortcut, I reached for the army painter blue spray. It didn't work out well for me, the can was old and it gave me a nice lumpy texture on the model, time to strip again and start over... again. It's one model so it's not much of a set back but I was hoping to move on to devastators early.
