Neato. Thanks Whalemusic - I can now remember to avoid Navy Seals like the plague

Hmm... turns out the mercenary Banshee unit are the Dusk Wings. I think thats worth getting in there somehow

**tipios**

Banshee is awesome!!! Missile launch on...ummmm wings!!! I

**Flinty**

Teehee, thats the idea

According to George Orwell wings are more like legs than arms... So listen to George!

Anyway another quick update. Managed to grab an hour tonight to do some markings. I will need to re-weather over the top, but it should be ok with just a light drybrush of grey. I've also dirtied up the insignia a bit. Makes it a bit less shiny and new, but not over the top unmaintained.

I give you Banshee designation F03 HMR (Thanks Odd One Out

). I think this one might need to be flown by Flt Lt "Hammer" T'Ime. Some blast warning icons as well. I think I'll add some yellow or red explosive bolt markers around the cockpit as well.

**Rogue Wolves**

that is really awsome!

**Mr. Oddity**

Hooray for community feedback!

Really, though, that Banshee is looking fantastic. Great job, Flinty!

**Flinty**

Thanks guys!

I'm down to London for a couple of days so no updates for a bit. However, something to ponder... SCV as Techmarine? Madness, or just mad enough?

Someone needs to look after all the vehicles after all, even if he's not into the big grimdark secret... Hell, no-one tells SCV drivers anything anyway.

**Mr. Oddity**

YES!

let me fix that for you.
YES! please!

@ Flinty
Man ive got to say this... i cried at the beauty. but if you are still making these guys you should try make molds of these torsos, gun. legs so you can make as many as please for UBER - CHEAP!

**Gorgrimm**

Really nice work. You've got something really wonderful here, the WIPs are fantastic, but man the finished work is first class!

I love the visors. can't wait to see it all finished.

Seconded.

**Flinty**

As always, thanks for the kind comments.

The call for casting has been made before, but I'm not really set up to do that at this point. The most annoying bits have been the feet and hands that I would probably still have to do myself anyway to make sure they fit the base and weapons correctly. The visor, turbine vents and to armour are pretty simple.

@Odd One Out and Asherian - Oh well then, if you insist

I've been pondering what to use as a base. I think the Dreadnought torso would be the best fit, but I think its too big for an infantry model. Currently playing around with the crisis suit shape in my head. I may have to steal some ides from the awesome crisis suits from the guy on the P&M forum who I can't remember the name of

**stonned_astartes**

that is awesome! but i agree, it seems to lack something, more color! again - awesome work, as all of your work. Damm how i envy!

**Flinty**

I'm working on it! Really I am!

Up next is the Viking, and Mr Raynor has just been primed... The last one should be easy as he is in black armour, so no lengthy base coating needed, straight into the detailing and weathering

Anyway Viking PIPs:

Most of the block colour is now done, waiting for washing, which should be pretty quick, although there is quite a lot to get done

Also I've called time on the Banshee as being finished for now. I might go back and do some more weathering, but its definately tabletop-ready.

And the bits for the SCV have all now arrives, but my razor saw is dead, so there will be a short pause while I get new blades (and have a business trip to London for 3 days :()

**tipios**

Looking good!!

**Rogue Wolves**

looking great! how do you feel about the new SM flyer that looks just like the banshee as well? and im excited to see those vehicles when you come back!

**Flinty**

Thanks guys.

Regarding the Storm Talon - I'm amused that I can basically use this as one. It did actually come out a bit big for a land speeder, but I think its the perfect size for the stormtalon. I'll just need to whomp up another nose assembly for the AC turret and it'll be done

**Flinty**

So, after a week of horror and London, some progress for the Jubilee! (Thanks, Ma'am)

Some more work on the Viking paint job. Just the metalics to go then on to insignia and weathering.

And Good 'ol Jim is primered and ready for... well, insignia and weathering... Gotta love black paint jobs

Aaaaand, finally. Some work on my new Techmarine idea. A Terran SCV

**dsteingass**

That is just fething awesome!!

**Flinty**

So I've got some more done on the SCV and the Viking is pretty much completed!

SCV first:

Still a whole bunch of filling left to do on this guy, but its pretty much there. I need to get something to cover the shoulder joint somehow, but I'll work on that later

And the Viking:

Its currently pretty free of insignia, so I might go back and sort that out later, but the paint job is effectively done. Currently working on the base. Its going to be stomping thorugh some knackered composite panels on a concrete floor, hence the light grey drybrushing on the feet. I've also got some armourcast muzzle flashes for the assault cannon that are being finished up. Ink takes so long to dry

**dsteingass**

OMG That is EPIC!!

How tempted were you to:
1. Make the viking actually transform?
2. and/or model a second one in flight mode?

**AnUnearthlyChilde**

Where did you get the Drill arm from? reminds me of bioshock a lot tbh. anywho looking awesome!

**Flinty**

Heh, thanks

I think making it transform is a step too far for my planning skills, but I was tempted to do a flying one for use as a LS Typhoon. However I went and did the Banshee to cover that slot. Having said that, with the new Stormtalon fitting the Banshee perfectly, perhaps there is room after all

The drill is from the Killa Kan sprue, as are most of the random bits on the SCV

**dsteingass**

woot! New fodder for flinty's creations!

**AnUnearthlyChilde**

Cheers Flinty

**Flinty**

Just finished off the base and the OSL, so now the thing is actually really finally done

A simple paint scheme of dusty greys and rusty metal as the Viking stomps over the remains of some factory or hab or something!

**octavus**

Fantastic job! Somehow reminds starcraft

**tipios**

That really is fantastic, with OSL too

Keep going

**Rogue Wolves**

the paint job is great, and i like the way the scv is coming!
