Another victory for team Knightley!

Another Victory for Team Dakka!

Update; Started the vindiwindi, its a large model so will do the body/main cannon first then do the blade and missile pods after.

**Matt.Kingsley**

sounds like a plan

**inmygravenimage**

Looking cool. Nice squad too! Are you planning on having a modular piece that can go in place of the cannon for being a whirly?

**Imperial Monkey**

What is the piece bottom right? I don't recognise it...

**Knightley**

@M.K - A solid plan indeed!

@Graven - Oh, good point, I might see what I can do to for a piece to fit in there, although I can't think of a single thing to put in there right at this point.

@I M - Ah, that piece right there is a customer job, its two peices, one from a sponson from somewhere, and a targeting array from another piece.

Update: did the base colors on the missiles and the sheild

Missiles

Shield

**Matt.Kingsley**

avoc lacers.....

ERESY! HHERESYY I SAY!

and I hhhave a really

keyboard, hope you can actually undrstand this...

**inmygravenimage**

Hmm. Maybe some sort of scanner array?

**prototype_X**

Or a big searchlight?

**Knightley**

@M.K - Oh dear god man, what did you do to that keyboard??

@Graven - could be an idea, let me think on it.

@Proto - Only if it gives me additional dice when rolling for night fighting, after all it could be as powerful as a small sun!

Update: Long night getting this first stage grey done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Nothing, it was always like that, which is why I usually avoid using it at all costs

**inmygravenimage**

Night Fighting is massive part of 6th. A big searchlight/sensor array would make sense, especially like an anti-aircraft one, given that Whirlwinds can now Skyfire.

**bigfish**

Your in the gw flicker pool if you had'n noticed btw

(with 4 images), very nice

and liking the vindi so far

**Knightley**

@M.K - Ah, so through the process of elimination you are then using your phone to post on Dakka. I can see why.

@Graven - good point, definitley something to consider!

@Bigfish - oh wow, thats cool! I tell you what, if I ended up featured on their blog, mate I would be ecstatic!

Update: another late one getting the second stage grey done

**lipsdapips**

Almost another tank done to add to the collection, and it's gunna look as unique as the rest of the guys, love it! I should probably paint a tank for Saturday :|

Automatically Appended Next Post:
(the 28th)

**Knightley**

@M.K - It looks like you are typing with your elbow, although I think I managed to get most of what you've written

@Tipios - Cheers, and I second your idea about the new keyboard.

@LDP - If you need a Rhino/LR/Ultramarine vehicle I have in my gallery let me know and I will bring it in.

Update: metals/reds Done

**Matt.Kingsley**

Now I'm starting to think all technology hates me.
First, my IPod's home button doesn't work
2, the key board
and now my camera, when ever you hit the shutter button to take a photo, it goes straigth to the gallery...

Metal's looking nice, btw

**Knightley**

Well that certainly is easier to read! shame about the camera.

Update: whirlwind and shield started

**lipsdapips**

Are you going to be rolling with this tank in our game in a couple weeks time? Proto and I have done some serious planning in making a decent combined force, and we're working full throttle to paint up new units that we're using. I thank you for giving me motivation to start work on the ultras again, painting up alot of stuff for this game and i'm really excited, never enjoyed myself more working on these ultras

cant wait for the game, you'll see alot of new stuff there ready to beat you up with Protos assistance ;P

**inmygravenimage**

I only just twigged you're using havoc launchers. Nice touch! Although I do have a spare rt metal launcher if you find yourself in need.

**Knightley**

@LDP - Probbably, I've not played against anyone except Dark Eldar so all my army lists are tailored around fighting them, so if I can get it done (which I should) then I could totally field it (as Vindicator) Yeah the game should be pretty awesome, I wonder if I should do an Allies game with GK/SM and have each force battle each of your forces?

@Graven - Interesting, you got a picture of the rt missile launcher set?

Update; blocked in the grey

**Matt.Kingsley**

You know technology hates you whe it deletes your post...
loving the progress, from both posts!
