So, its been a while. I have had plans for this army for ages but I have never got round to doing anything. I ordered stuff ages ago and when it came school, sickness and general stuff got in the way of me acctually starting it. So in the half term I got around to finishing my models (tidying up seams and clipper marks and adding pouches etc) and I finally got some paints and primer. So painted models will come soon but for now just some plastic and metal So call this a "mini" blog as its only a battleforce I am working with. Please leave your comments good or bad and I hope to update regularly as I go along!

Mkay, changed my commander, switched his arms out with some militia arms and gave him a las pistol. I have one painted too

Looks pretty good. Love pig iron heads, gives a more Sci Fi feel for IG

I do like the way the heads look, very nice. I need to check out PIG Iron and see if I can get some for my guys.

Pig iron does rule. Not sure that they ship outside of the UK =S

they look like Spartans from Halo! I love it!

I like the colourscheme you've chosen for them. You might want to shave off the mold lines, though.

They do. Warstore has a stock of them

Neato. These are the best PI heads by far (in my own unbiased opinion ). Good luck with the Battleforce but I echo the flash removal call. I can also definately recommend using a small amount of GS in the neck joint though. The head nubble really doesn't fit into the Cadian torso slot very well.

Very neat. Not exactly the way I like IG but the helmets fit the cadians very well and the colourscheme is good too. Good work but I have to second (third? ) the call for mold line removal.

Thanks forthe compliments, I tried my best to romove mould lines but I rushed this guy and primed before he was properally ready I will paint some more this afternoon. Cheers all

Love the Pig Iron line as well. Great looking stuff! i really like the CO's pose.
one suggestion, try to get more of the flash of. it makes them look soooo much better.

Hmm ok. Been trying to take of wome mould marks and clipper marks etc. Unfortunatly I was too hasty and after priming my whole infantry squad and sentinal i found even more moulding marks on them (the sentinal is fine). But nothing can be perfect I suppose. Anyways I tried my hand at green stuff for the first time in my life (i may have done it once...) So here you go, I tried to pu a hood over my snipers head, not too shabby in my eyes but I dont think its that good compared to what I have seen here on this forum. Tell me what you guys think!

I live in Maryland, USA. I have ordered directly from Pig Iron before. No issues.

I've ordered direct from Pig Iron to Oz, and have had no issues - so shipping to the US is probably easier.

It's not like there is any shortage of other stockists for them in the US or elsewhere though.

The Warstore is one of the better ones.
