New Years Resolution: Painting My Chaos Space Marines
Well, it's a New Year, yay! That means over 1 full calendar year that I've had my Chaos Space Marine army and haven't painted it... BOOO! I know, I suck, but you know what? It's all going to change. My 2014 Warhammer resolution is going to be to paint a majority of my Chaos Space Marine army.
