That is fantastic! Looks brilliant, lovely detailing. Only trouble I got is they are cute. Brilliant and cool and awesome, Fantastic paint job. But cute.
Maybe thats the point, squad of marines looking at it pointing, "Oh isn't it cute little tanky" BOOOOOOM!!!

@Anvildude: You're really going to laugh when you see the name of the third bot. I swear I had no awareness of the names of the ghosts. Must be some kind of cosmic pattern involved.
Here's the last one... "Doug".
... and the triplets together... Iggy, Ziggy & Doug.

Thank you one and all. So good to see a few new names responding too. Thanks for taking the time to comment! I think it's great that each of the three have their fans... means I must have done something right on all of them.
Well Ruglud... ask and ye shall receive.
So, I went for the mad scientist look rather than the German infantry look that the figure was originally intended for. This was easily accomplished with a simple head-swap & painting the great-coat into a lab coat! My wife approved (which is good since she bought me the figures in the first place) and says he looks like Dr. Nefario from "Despicable Me".
Here's the whole group together. All finished in one weekend! (that's a record for me)

OK gang... got a decision to make on where to go next. It'll be probably at least two weeks before the replacement part for my ork megadread shows up... so I have to pick another project. In digging through my FW bits (which I'm guarding jealously)... I have the following to choose from.
A grot megatank...
an ork kill blasta tank...
an ork kill bursta tank...
or "Da Red Gobbo"...
I also have a second big squiggoth and three custom made (by Littletower) grot tanks... but since I just finished similar projects I'm not looking to repeat them quite yet. I ALSO have a fantastic custom-built landing pad by Cam, but I want to knock some of these units out of the way before working on a fortification.
Everyone is welcome to chime in. What would guys like to see? Make it quick because I've got to decide on a project quickly.

Those look great, Gits! And so quickly too My favorite is Iggy- Love the eyes! Dok turned out amazingly well, too. I'd have thought that was exactly what the kit was made for!
As far as the next one.... Yeah I think one of the Kill tanks. Blasta'd be my choice, but the Bursta is still wonderfully orky.
