Alright, I thought I'd take a few pictures of what i have and what I am currently working on. Currently I'm calling my army the Khorshid, after a personal piece of fiction i hope to expand into a book (non 40k related). The color scheme was taken directly from that, Black and what i've taken to calling Burnt-Pink (though the color isn't exact as I imagine). I chose blue for the gems simply because i like blue, and the emerald was the exact color of blue I like most, and it looked good ;3 . The higher the 'rank' of each soldier, the more pink used. I like to try and modify all of them a little to create a little character.
Below (In links so as not to bog down everything) Is what I have finished already:

These are my most finished and or most important projects, to my least. Some are links to my photobucket, others are pictures, i'd size them but thanks to my computer being broken and my using another (which doesn't have ANY picture editing softwear, save MSpaint, this'll have to do)
Dire Avenger, he's the second in command behind the Exarch, hence the exarch body plates, plenty of pink, and the extra war gear. The blue shoulder pad on the right indicates the Aspect the warrior belongs too, i intend to use primary aspect colors on one shoulder pad of all my Aspect Warriors, and then do the reverse with the Exarch who will have mostly Aspect colors and a single Khorshid colored shoulder pad. All I need to do to finish this is highlight the few black armor pieces I haven’t, and decide what color to do the chest straps. I was thinking maybe a silver? Thoughts?
My fire prism, in progress, but I got this idea of 'energy' flowing through the crevices on the model like water, and had to try it. I think it looks cool. I'm no good with Crystals so lets see what I can accomplish eh? This took about an hour.

Painted him last night in about two hours. Not sure what color to do the hair, and could use a few quick highlights. Ideas for the hair are welcome.
A few other projects I do when feeling to ADD to do the others.
http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c17/crimtonic/?action=view¤t=IMG_3599.jpgThe jetbike, barely even started. He's a low ranker so only one stripe.
http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c17/crimtonic/?action=view¤t=IMG_3602.jpgAlmost finished, low priority on this since it is done enough to use. I felt like the Star Cannon barrel was too short, so I pasted on a Scattercannon barrel too see what would happen, it didn't turn out horribly. Plus now I can switch it out for a Scattercannon before the game if i feel that'd be better for the army.
Comments and advice are appreciated as these are really the first anything, let alone models, that I’ve painted.
