also the improvement of your side of the battle report is amazing. You made sound tactical decisions! That sounded like an epic game.

@LDP - Hammernator should become the squad sergeant IMO he was amazing! We should do it again soon!
@Gits - Do you like the term Gribbles, I think it best describes whats left after they've been destroyed little bits of gribbles.
@Rawson - Oh wow, how intense is that I was just happy to get them onto their flickr page and then it ended up on their facebook page, now to be on the main blog page, I'm honor and speechless.
@ WM - Hahah if you Google vindiwindi its all me!
@TaWaaagh - Sweet you posted the link as well, that should help those who get lost trying to get to the whats new page.
@eldartau1987 - If I was going to redo the list I would remove the Dreadknight and take powerfists and melta bombs, but hindsight is 20/20 right
@Graven - Autocannons are divine IMO
@Blackhand - Cheers mate!
@Proto - No thank you for the game it was so much fun and so much death, everything would have gone differently had that Death company made their first charge
@Meatshield - Cheers
Update: well I managed to get all the base colors and wash done on the raven, plenty of pics below, took 3 days to do all of this, the grey stage will be a long long time :S

But seems either:
a. I'm losing my mind and never did
b. I failed to press post

@Briancj - Thanks for the WD compliment, I had considered doing the interior but decided mixing the clear plastic with painted plastic went against my sensibility's this time.
@Bigfish - Cheers 
@M.K - Well if you lose your mind, prepare for awesome conversations over and over again 
Update: doing stage one grey has been a nightmare, this model is so big!

I like the mottled look to your grey on the large flat surfaces. It's very realistic (well, for a magical flying space brick).

Be patient eldartau1987. The squiggles are part of the finishing touch.
Knightley, if you get a chance can you time how long you spend painting squiggles on that beast? I'm curious to see how long it takes you to add a MILLION squiggles onto that raven.

@eldartau1987 - Squiggles incoming!
@Ice - 24 minutes on squiggles, some of the time was me looking at certain parts wondering if I should put lines on there.
@LDP - Mainly 40k, its been my passions for far too long that I couldn't think of changing universe now.
