the commissar looks great all the colors work well together

Oops besides the boot and gold under the armor,I plum forgot to paint the rope that holds his cloak

I have the next platoons worth of troops painted up along with the platoon Commander Major Diemetri and the platoon medic

For the "marbo" counts as if you haven't added snow yet maybe a more subtle "frost" effect on the "wall" as if there was a sudden cold snap?

wow this (sergant i assume) the one with the powerfist, is a great looking model, did those bino's come with the drop troops?

I think the only thing to make your models better would be to paint the littler details on the stowage(straps ect.)

^ this would be a nice addition me thinks too

One day I'll have a straps day,probally soon as I am wrapping up the first platoon.
But like you can tell every week or so I switch it up from troops to vehichles.
I have 3 or 4 of these as a Fast attack sqaudron.
I felt it was time to get the Vendetta out of the way.
I see a Vendetta as being more close to the ground,so I painted this one in a winter camo too,
The other ones will be Valkryie transports that belong to the Lancers but the Vendetta piloted by the great and powerful Ozz is straight up Navy.
Nose art is from the Dust US vehicle transfer sheet

wow.. i love it!!

Love your stuff looking great !

I got alot done tonight,shes weathered up now.
Just need to do cockpit,and a few details.

That vendetta is beautiful. Well done all around.

Thanks

For the A-10 Valk I had this in mind K.I.S.S(Keep It Simple Stupid) Punisher Cannon on the nose.
I have a Heavy Bomb Set and Might also use a Modern Fighter Maverick Missle cluster.
Or I might just also cram in Rocket Pod with the heavy bomb rack to give that distintive loaded for bear look.

Here is the finished build for the A-10 Valk.
Just have to add stabilizers.
I used FW Heavy Bombs and a Maverick missile cluster from the real A-10 model.

Here is the A-10 Valk Based,Primed and ready to go
I used an old Chimera Top and Dremmel to make the cannon damage and added a Chaos star.

So much dakka, an Ork would be proud.

That vendetta, Its beautiful!

This blog is full of so much win

wow that thing looks great! and you intigrated the punisher cannon very well!

Valkyrie Looks great! And I love the A-10 idea

I have the basecoat and decals down for the newly christened "Wrath"
I am giving this guy a winter camo too,over a green base.
I have two more Valks that I will make Navy like the first for a squadron of three.
This guy is permenantly attached to the Lancers
I would start the camo tonight but it is late and the airbrush loud.

it looks great! btw where did you get all these nice american transfers?

I know its too late, but the nose gun looks overly long, if I were you I would shorten it a little bit

CaptainSolstice I find your lack of faith disturbing



I was going to leave as is,but way too many people(not just on here)suggested shortening the barrel.
When I looked again at the real A-10 it was indeed much shorter.
And I cannot fight the rule of cool"Looks better that way ,nuff said"

BTW the decals are Mostly from the Dust Transfers sheets (allied/axis and allied vehicle)
The stars are Archer dry rub transfers since I needed a whole alot more stars.
But I also pick up cheap second hand model kits just for the decals these days.
I would of loved to of givien this bird the sharks teeth.
The funny thing is,I used to be so militantly against decals,I used to think it was cheating.
I came to the realisation that it is not when I jumped ship over to the AFV hobby.
Decals like painting is an art and when done right,very stunning.
And for the record these decals are not correct per say(The camo gets in the way of this)The final step should now be to spray the entire bird with gloss to hide the decal film.
However with my camo process it is not really nessessary since they get covered and anything that does poke through just needs to be hiden with some camo touch-up.

Hahahaha your right Eisenhorn, you are, after all, a lot more willing than me
and BTW it looks way better now!

Everytime someone brings up the A-10 ... I always think of Ouze's Avatar.

Love it! Love all of it!

I really wanted to finish the winter camo before work,just got it done with time to spare to clean my workspace a bit too.

he looks great!

She
Aircrafts,Cars,Boats and Guns all are shes.

i was expecting someone to say this! which to be honest is why i called her a him

Glad not to disappoint.
I added a pinwash and streaks
