Another self painting challenge... What have I done!?!

Well what have I gotten myself into this time. The SoCal Apoc club is having a Orks VS Imperium game on the 19th of this month. I got the OK from my better half that I could make the drive down to the LA Bunker to play. I will be bringing 8,000 points of IG and Space Marines not a problem there. The issue come when everything you have has to be painted with a 3 color minimum and I don't currently have 8,000 points of IG and Space Marines painted.





I have however made my 8k list so I know what to bring and what I need to paint. So things that are on the fast track to get painted are...
1) Space Marine Drop Pod (may drop the pod for an already pained rhino)
2) 8x Assault Terminators
3) 3x Leman Russ Battle Tanks
4) A Baneblade/Hellhammer Super Heavy Tank

Now I have had the Baneblade for almost 2 years and have not painted it because I was not sure how I wanted it. I did not want it to match my Leman Russ tanks or my Vendettas because the Baneblade comes from a different Imperial Company, but I have a good idea now of what I want to do with it and it should be quick to paint.

I will keep you guys updated on the progress with before and after shots of everything. I do have 1 small favor to ask if anyone can help me. I am looking for the 'Mailed Fist' Tank Command formation rules that were in the Spearhead expansion edition of White Dwarf.

Here is the 8k of stuff I am planning on taking. I am only taking 1 formation for each army and only 1 Super Heavy.
