Drop Trooper with Demo Charge

Hi,

Going to try and make a Brigade sized force of combined arms IG.

Currently fielding =

150 man Light Infantry Company (Painted)

3 Leman Russ Battle Tanks (painted)
1 Leman Russ Vanquisher (undercoated)
1 Storm Lord (painted nearly finished)
1 Storm Lord (not built)
3 Sentinals (painted)
1 Chimera (painted)
1 Valkerie (not built)

when finished I want a full armoured company, a super heavy armoured company, a Hvy Infantry Platoon, a Drop Troop (with Valkeries) company and lot's of fun support units like battle psyker sqds, etc.

Anywho, a couple of photo's below to prove it's not all pie in the sky. Comments and advice welcome, unless they're just mean, in which they're not welcome.

Cool. Do you not think 500 men is a little bit (mental) to many?

Muyyaaahh

Also I want them to have space marine allies.

These are some members of the mysterious and highly aggressive "Warhounds" Chapter.

Here's the Command tank I'm painting today, next to the 3rd tank of 2nd company.

Due to commitments I'm not going to do as much as I was hoping with my Command tank...

Still here's progress so far, this is a base coat of scorched brown with the first of two light coats of graveyard earth.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to make a start on Knight Commissar Arrowsmith.

Turns out my fiance's five minutes is different to mine. So I had time to take some photo's of my Freebooterz.

Wow, looks like you are well on your way to pulling this off. Everything looks great, looking forward to more.

Well the Command tank is now 85% done. Now just need to give the tank some scratches to it's paint job, a bit of mud on the tyres, and it's relevant transfers.

Please let me know what you think!

I would try to get some better lighting. Your stuff looks impressive but better lights could help show off that weathering and more details.

Very impressive armoured force so far, like others have said, get some lighting so we can see the models in all their glory!

Compared to the above SM pic, yes it is better. May be a little better with white background. Of course, you are talking to a guy who has horrible photography skills. Just food for thought. Marines are great. Nice mix of armor.
