Actually, across the Pacific. I plan on going the wrong way round the world and sneaking up on you from behind in order to steal it.

**Briancj**

Well. That's dash cunning of you.

**Dr H**

Very nice table you have going there, Brian.

**dsteingass**

Very nice work with the colors, I might suggest painting or markering the edges of the card stuff though. What s that truck in the last pic?

**Briancj**

As mentioned, this is still WiP, Dave.

The truck is a toy truck I found in a dollar store, came with a trailer (seen) and some other cheap plastic 'construction' vehicles, which I am 40k-ify-ing.

**Theophony**

Awesome work on the table

, and I hadn't seen the progress on the flyer, great job there too. And while sneaking is going on to steal your terrain you better go answer the front door

.

**Solar_lion**

Awesome.. The table needs to have a game played on it. Too bad we a wee bit away.

Transporter looks awesome as well. Good job. Does it have any vehicles that fit in it?

**Briancj**

It is Minotaurs, so it'll carry my two Rhino Chassis vehicles around. The grabber arms are not magnetized (lazy).

PS:

I ordered a Chapterhouse Storm Raven extender kit for the Stormraven I got for Christmas.

**Gitsplitta**

I have one of those! I've read they're a bit fiddly to get together, but the end result is very nice.

**Briancj**

I really, REALLY hate the Chapterhouse Stormraven extension kit. It does not fit the model AT ALL.

**Theophony**

I'm not a Big fan of theirs ever since I got he super heavy walker and the issues from that. Plus most of their kits seemed amateurish compared to others like zinge, or anvil.

**sparkywtf**

I want wheeled chimeras really bad for my IG (if I ever get around to them), but their kits always fit so horrible I don't even want to deal with it.

Good to know I was toying with the idea of getting one of those...

LOL 'toying' (sorry).

**whalemusic360**

I didnt really have any issues with it. It gets kind of fiddly to line up the elongated sides, but not terrible.

**Briancj**

There are 2mm gaps everywhere, the sidewalls do not match up with the chassis, the top roof is 4mm too wide, there are fingerprints in the casting master which show up in the pieces... the list just goes on.

**inmygravenimage**

If you got a bad cast, much like FW, it's a pain the hole. Also I found it less than obvious how the bloody thing goes together - I got Warsmith (who as Hits_the_spot designed the kit) to send me instructions!

**Theophony**

But they are taking on GW and winning, kind of shows how bad GW is right now doesn't it? Sorry you got a bad kit, my superheavy walker came with broken parts and missing pieces. They sent the missing pieces and let me know that it was a known issue, but didn't backtrack past orders unless they were contacted by the buyers. The broken parts they told me "tough luck" and I had to fix them myself.

**Briancj**

Welp, kit assembled (mostly), stopping short of cockpit and weapons. Need to dig out my magnets.

Black primer, followed by a gold basecoat. Later, it'll be red-washed to bring the gold to bronze, and then detailed.

This brings me up to a Stormraven, two Stormtalons, a Thunderhawk Transporter and a drop pod, in the Minotaur Air Wing.

**inmygravenimage**

Pimpmobile!

**Camkierhi**

Now that is shiny!

Looks great.

**monkeytroll**

Ooh..boom-boom bird blinged brightly

**Gitsplitta**

Now THAT's bling!

So now all you're missing is the Storm Eagle.

**Theophony**

And cestus assault ram

. The extension looks good, you did good salvaging it

.

**Solar_lion**

Very nice.. are you going to paint the cockpit or paint over the glass?

**Briancj**

I paint every cockpit. EVERY. ONE.

People who paint the glass are HERETICS.

--B.

Finally someone with some sense in this world!

Although my friend painted my Valks for me, he had the common decency to paint the cockpit! And they look good! (I have to finish the canopies though)

**RandyMcStab**

The CH kit looks good, I'm still tempted by one but am put off by fiddlyness...

Glas painters are heretics indeed however I was looking at this Humbrol stain stuff which is translucent, I'm toying with the idea of that..

**dantay_xv**

I have the red, its great but really dark, ideally you would want to thin it out

**Briancj**

After having lost yet another overly expensive GW Praetorian auction, I have given up and gone in on 3rd party torsos and whatnots.

As much as I hate the fact that they are changing my codex's name, I am looking forward to a proper 6th edition codex.

**dsteingass**

That's the Isaac Hayes Cadillac of the Marine world!
