Rampagers close

Highlighting and basing remain
I used MLK day to put a solid dent in painting up the five Rampagers for my World Eaters.   I got the main colors on the model, leaving highlighting, detailing, and basing to do this week.

I feel like I am a bit behind where I want to be in terms of getting the World Eaters done, but also feel confident I can get them done before the end of February.  Depending on how this week's schedule is, I should be done with the Rampagers before the weekend, leaving the Butchers and Kharn to paint.

Primarch arrived, slow start on Rampagers

Just a short status update post.  My brother's Christmas gift of Roboute Guilliman arrived this past week, along with 5 Suzerains from Forgeworld.   Both of these have been tucked away with the rest of the Ultramarines that I have been collecting for a "big-push" once the 1,000 points of Zone Mortalis World Eaters is complete.

Roboute Guilliman
A single model which should as much attention as a whole squad or more
Speaking of, I have been distracted by playing Destiny with a good friend and have only begun to add the base layers to the Rampagers.   I intend to spend some more time on them in the coming days and will at the very least dedicate time next Monday to painting them.

Sang Squad

Sang Squad prior to sealing
As I said previously, painting Space Marines is somehow very relaxing.  I think it comes down to having zero decisions to make once I have settled on the paint scheme.

This is my second World Eaters Tactical squad, equipped with Chain-Axes.  Their Sergeant equips himself with a pair of Lightning Claws.  They are the fifth squad of their company.*  They go by the name moniker, Sang Squad in reference to the ancient Terran (French/Latin) word for blood.
