The flight deck's getting crowded 
Do you have anything in mind for the skytalons to transport? Or do you have plans for those 'frames?

I own nine Sentinels, but I need to see if Talons can carry regular Sentinels or only "Drop Sentinels". Not that it matters, much. My other "problem" is that these are Imperial Navy vehicles, and I want to keep the theme of a screaming orbital descent. This means that I may need to mod the Skytalons to hold some form of drop shielding, which the vehicles stand on. We shall see.

Hi kids! It is time for another lesson! Today, Brian tries out airbrush pre-weathering!
Primed white, with light grey random spray, and then dark grey panel lines.
[url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/432140-Imperial%2C%20Navy%2C%20Sky%20Talon%2C%20Vulture%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.html][img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2012/11/17/432140_sm-
Imperial%2C%20Navy%2C%20Sky%20Talon%2C%20Vulture%2C%20Work%20In%20Progress.JPG[/img][/url]
Sky Talons
Vulture and Valk/Vendetta. The Valk is not pre-weathered, it has been worked on by hand with brushes, and some masked-off areas to create lighter panels, to show that it has been recovered from severe damage. This is the ex-chaos salvage Valk.
So, in the span of a few hours, I have pushed four vehicles through to a state where I'm ready to detail and decal. I really do love airbrushing.
Thanks, Galorn!

Great work Brian! Although, If it were me, I'd preshade heavier on the panel lines, then touch up the panels with the basecoat, specifically on those boom panel lines, unless of course you are going to add camo or masked markings still, then ignore me

I don't have a very precise airbrush, so I found it was hard to do more than shade heavy, and then go over pretty much the entire hull. My 'panel lines' were also very, very wide because of it.

Hello ladies and gentlemen!
I could use your assistance. I need to figure out a good set of Conscripts for my Praetorian forces. Now, as the fine gentlemen will be representing Imperial Navy forces, I have considered using Cadians and or Catachans as low-level Navy grunts, indentured humans, squabbies, etc. Imagine hive gangers from Necromunda, and you're not that far off.
My problem, of course, is that it really doesn't 'tie in' well to the theme. I have some ideas which I will try out.
So I'm throwing the floor open. I've tried Empire minis, but with their tights and poofy sleeves, they really don't cut it. They're also weedly little things. I've looked through the various GW ranges of 'human' figures, and nothing's really jumping to mind.
Any ideas?
--B.

Including 3rd party? Victoria Miniatures would probably be a good answer. Otherwise, some sort of kitbash - flagellants with cadian arms + heads for example.
