Hey,
Small progress report for you today (and another promise to get those pictures up). The red coat on the Chimera is pretty much done. I have to say I'm really happy with the result for once. I've never really used the Painting Masterclasses from White Dwarf, until now. Up to that point I had been using quite a lot of watered down paint to try and get a smooth coat, but all I ended up with was a blotchy result. Following the Masterclass I tried using hardly any paint on the brush and building it up in layers. And wow what a result! The blotches are gone and the colour looks uniform now. I can still improve on it though, so hopefully the more tanks I paint up the better the overall result. The edge highlighting however didn't come out to well, I may need to follow another tip from the Masterclass and purchase a Large Flatbrush.
I promise you the pics will be up at some point this week (Yes Kim I mean it this time:))
Take care,
~Pettsy~

Essexia
Essexia is a little known planet situated in the Ultima Segmentum. The planet itself is divided into two halves. Both halves of the planet provide the armies of Essexia with the materials they need to wage war.
The northern hemisphere contains vast hive cities and manufacturing facilities to prove the weapons and vehicles that are used by the Essexian regiments to kill in the name of the Emperor. The southern hemisphere is dotted with agricultural domes that feed the vast armies. The division of between North and South in the past threatened to engulf the planet in civil war, only the timely intervention of Eldar seers stopped the civil war. Once they had agreed to work in harmony for the glory of thier world the armies of the North turned on the Eldar and destroyed everyone of them.
Discipline amongst the Essexian regiments is very low, with fights breaking out between various units commonplace. Therefore a Commissar is usually attached to every Essexian regiment, for those regiments with particularly bad discipline issues more than one Commissar will be attached.
It is well known that Essexian Officers are more likely to survive contact with the enemy than their own Commissars.
Despite the discipline problems they fight with every ounce of their souls to destroy those that don't fight for the Emperor's cause. They will continue to do so until the end of their lives.
