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.  I wont say exactly how many points I will paint, but my goal is to be able to make several different armies with the CSM book.  To give you an idea of how many models I have though, I'll spell it out for you:
