I have been interested in the Operations on the Eastern Front and bought two Pendraken Armies a long time ago. These finally have seen light of day.
There will be:
German 1914 - 1917 Eastern Front
Russian 1914 - 1917 Eastern Front
With some minor diversions
German 1914 - 1915 Western Front - Not really a different army, just some additions to the Eastern Front army and not really that many additions
British 1916 - 1918 Western Front
Current Status shot (Sunday after slicing my hand with the Carving knife so might be off painting for a day or so!)
Terrain
Hopefully everything will be recorded in the AARs
Great War - Scenarios and AARs
Painting Diary/Additions to the forces I already have those in BOLD are orders just arrived from Pendraken. Strike through means completed. I have had to put the Pendraken order number next to these as I am getting buried in the lead mountain.

Overview of the 3 Armies shown below as progress is made. The pictures below are Saturday morning 3rd March 2012 (there are only two armies because the 3rd one hasn't arrived yet!)
Germans
Update as at 15 March 2012
Russians
Update as at 15 March 2012. The Russian Infantry have been under some effort to get to the 90% mark. Only 12 Bases need for the Infantry Division. Whatever is left over will be used for dismounted cavalry and some playing around Ideas I have.
