Hey there Dakka! After all the slaving over the Dakka Rok, I've decided to give my BA some attention. While I will be going full steam on completing my terrain world, I have decided to incorporate a few army pieces at a time to start chipping away at my Angelic Host. I have a sizeable force, but theres alot more I want to do. So, now for the army shots, go ahead and be critical!

I will be base-coating the models in white I think. It bases the red so much better. A few points of interest though:

-The Land Speeders have been dubbed the Swarm Slayers. I had them left over from an old Ravenwing army.
-I have two assault squads that I pieced together from a slew of bits, and I even made one of them a Sanguinary Priest to compliment Corbulo. I am a fan of the sanguinary six riding out in a Razorback with an assault cannon.
-I do have the bits to complet a few things like the Dreads, Assault squad, razorback, but I just have been doing the terrain thing.

Well, round one!

And A Lil More!

So the Furioso is ready to hit the field... well not at all actually. But, the base is done and it matches the terrain or carpet if you will. I had to stop and do some update shots of what I've got going on because I have this Orky pain in the arse thats requiring alotta time (read as waagh banner). Anyways, here we go!

I will be recreating the base style again... for the entire army.... plus bitz.

Well, the blue undercoat worked well. Managed to get some white on those wings!

Also, if anyone was wondering, I drilled holes into the slots where the grapple bits would connect. In there place I used a wire approx the size of the cabling featured on the magnagrapple. Attached each wire to the grapples, and boom. You can move em around. A small feature, but it inspired me

Looking good! Where's the Autobots Logo?

**bmosleysbux**

Don't tempt me! Although this guy looks more like Sentinel Prime from the new movie... or that Firetruck one from forever ago. Bah!

I'm happy with it. It's kinda like my test model for a) the bases and b) painting all my tanks/speeders/sanguinary guard angel wings lol.

I think a little one on his arm would be perfect. If you don't draw attention to it, then people will be playing, and then suddenly notice it. Always good for a smile

As for the base - much better than I could ever do!

**bmosleysbux**

The base will need alot of work! It was super easy to do, too! It just needs those accent bits to show it is from a thrice war-swept battlefield.

Hmm, I think I may just do that Autobot symbol. I'm one of the rare fans of the movies and do still have quite a few 'Bots piled up over the years. Yep, most definitely.
