Slowly working my way through a BUNCH of vehicles and finally decided to bite the bullet and do the camo. Still a lot of work to go, but this is a huge jump in terms of looking done. Masking tape took 8x longer to put on than actually painting did. As someone new to an airbrush, I must say that it's definitely faster and smoother than using a brush, but I really need to improve my aim. There's some nasty overspray in various places which is going to have to be touched up by hand, but I'm generally very happy with this.
I've been running a few different lists, my mechanized guardsmen had their chimeras perforated by alpha legion, and that combined with some infiltrated legionaries meant most of my guardsmen died in no man's land far from objectives and some (un)lucky lascannons smoked my LR. Death guard just drowned me in penalties to hit and mowed through my troops. Tau smoked my LR & sentinels early & my troopers struggled to hold onto the mid board. At least I had a decent face off with 'nids, but I still lost with roughly half the points and with most of my guys still in my deployment zone (turn 1 charges suck)
I'm definitely not playing the most "meta" list, and it'll be a cold day in hell before I buy a lord solar, but it's frustrating that the army I got into had a ton of options on how you want to play them, and now it's been reduced to an artillery company that keeps getting their artillery nerfed
