Miniatures Painting Progress Support Thread

This general-use MPPST is inspired by Ein's own progress support thread, in turn probably inspired by TDL's and subsequently The Six Mouth Forum's support thread, which I'd wager was based upon ones found on B&C or somesuch.
But I digress.
For anyone who wants to write up and share their current and planned projects, be it painting, modeling, terrain, sculpting, or whatever, feel free to add it here and post progress reports whenever you make progress or complete part of it. In turn, everyone else is free to comment and encourage whomever on their projects.
For an example list, I'll use Morskittar's list from TSM's thread; although it is nearly 3 months old it makes for a clear example, especially compared to my hyperlinked laundrylist:
Don't feel expected to write bulleted extensive lists or provide a photo every time, although I find it's easier to remember and comment upon collections listed that way.
Ok I'm the OP I made the thread so you have to do what I say now kthx.

Whew. As for my Marines, I completed two vehicles last week, a Razorback and a Land Speeder, and added chapter emblems to a bunch of Marines, so right now I'm right now I'm focusing on assembling my Black Templars and finishing my Tyranids, after which I'll probably go back and prime some more Marines.
Yes, mind the pink please.
I'm starting a vampire counts army. So far I have
1 necromancer
20 skeletons
12 ghouls
and painted I have
20 zombies
I'm either going to do the skeletons or ghouls next.
I always hate the way my models turn out, they never are good enough for me. I think the unit looks too busy, and it looks better in the shot than it does in person. Maybe I'm just being picky, though.
Anyhow, I like your choice of colors for the zombies. Pale green is a rather fun classic color for zombies, and their clothing has a good amount of variety yet very specific colors that don't look cluttered or patchwork in the photo. I think it's distinct and works fine.
I recall it being mentioned using tan/brown for the skeletons' bones, as opposed to the typical bleached look. What did you have in mind for the ghouls?

edit: as i begin painting i'll prolly just edit this post with pretty pictures
I was thinking about painting them with normal flesh.
I had a completly types first post for my own project log but I was too scared to post it so I'll just paste it into here.
Hello all. First off I promise I’m not copying Ein or TDL’s logs. I’m actually copying the logs on Warseer.
Anyway those of you who frequent the Warhammer 40k thread know that I'm an avid Warhammer 40k modeler. My main army is that of the Imperial Guard, however just recently I repainted the first 40k models I ever purchased, a Space Marine Tactical Squad, in the colors of the Blood Ravens chapter. The chapter was created for the popular real time strategy game Dawn of War and has since become an official chapter in 40k fluff.
I wanted to expand this small force. So to that end I have purchased the new Space Marine Megaforce.
This force contains:
10 man Tactical Squad
5 man Combat Squad
5 man Assault Squad
Commander
Command Squad
5 Scouts w/ sniper rifles
1 Predator
1 Razorback
1 Dreadnought.
The intention of this thread is to keep a running project log of my progress building this small army. I will endeavor to update the log each day with my further adventures in modeling and post pictures of my work in progress as I attempt and turn small plastic army men into these,
Ok enough explanation let’s get on to the painting!
Here are some pictures of my work so far.
Yes I suck at taking photos but atleast I'm trying here.
What I have to work with from the box.
Vehicle Spurs
Marine Spurs
Obligatory picture of my work area.
Ok let's get this party started.

But speaking of that happy Commander of mine, I do finally have pics of his finished backpack. I sculpted a decorative grail onto the back and added a large purity seal, I inked the lettering just this afternoon on a whim:
Real men wear pink; anti-men cower from it. But I digress, since the color is in truth raw flesh. :P
Also, I don't believe I've posted my next 4 Black Templars, converted into taller and more baroque forms. I have one more Initiate to put together (needs 1 leg lengthened, both pinned, and some helmet resculpting finished).
A few more gaps need filling and the arms will need actual work done to put them in better poses and more consistent styles. I've only got three (possibly eight) more legs+bodies available to make BTs, so while I'd like to form two CC squads I'm not positive how I'll be equipping them just yet (current plan is one with P fist & flamer, other with P sword and Melta). I may build them as 2 6-man squads, pump them up with a couple Neophytes, and then build a 5-man squad with bolters, a heavy weapon, and a plasma gun. I'll have to leave this train of thought here and reflect upon it later.
And also, I am envious of Timspork's Blood Ravens. They are looking great and if I didn't have more than enough Marines as it was I'd want an army just like it.
The banner will be split down the center, with the regiment symbol in the center, shields will be likewise split.
The last of my pre megaforce marines are done. They just need my custom made decals applied. I'm going to try and use the Microset stuff I just got to see if the decals will go on smoother.
I finished putting together the Predator. I'm tryng a slightly diffrent paint scheme and primed it white instead of black before basecoating the tank in Red Gore. The results with the ink applied afterward gives a richer red that matches the game a little better. I'll decide what to do with the other guys I've already painted but if I mix up the models I don't think the difference will be that noticable. Probably they will just look like old armor vs new armor. Once I get the tank finished I'll post a pic compared to the other scheme.
On further inspection, the skull I just kind of drew onto the banner looks a little orcy..I may have to paint off the lower jaw...
It always looks by far the messiest bit of the model, and by that I mean I like everything else.
Chaplain Eamon, and his Deathwing Command Squad. (Complete)
Chaplain Bernard, and his Command Squad. (Barrels need drilled out and all models need rebased)
Tac Squad Red. (Barrels need drilled out and all models need rebased)
Tac Squad White. (Barrels need drilled out and all models need rebased)
Tac Squad Blue. (Barrels need drilled out and all models need rebased)
3rd Company Dreadnought, and Deathwing Dreadnought. (Both need names and bases, as well as battle damage)
3rd Company Predator. (Needs a name)
Assault Squad Silver. (All models need painted, based, and barrels drilled out)
Assault Squad Gold. (All models need painted, based, and barrels drilled out)
I plan on rebasing everything with urban bases similar to the Terminators. I really like urban warfare.
