They maybe cheaper

but i am not sure on the better ,

some of hte best i've seen are mashing the assault marine spruse with chaos ones, i mean most chaos players have at least 5 torso front plates hanging about i mean i got loads, (maybe cause i collect iron warriors but what ever)

i will see if i cna get pics of my mate's red corsairs ones,

and sure they ay are jump packs but meh thye look th epart... + i've always been iffy with zerker legs despite having twenty of the slaughtering bastards in my Iron Warriors force

I really like the wings now that those gaps are filled in. And thats a nice paint job too.

Nice look and it's quite clear what they are. I love the Asp. Champ with the Power Fist!

Right then, I'm done with the modelling!

The whole army has now been modelled and I will be blogging it's painting progress
in the P+M Blogs Forum soon. Look out for it if you are interested!

It is going to be a Slannesh and Fast attack themed army.
It currently contains

20 Raptors
10 Bikes
20 Marines w/ rhino transports
Winged DP
Winged Chaos Lord
5 Termies in Land Raider
20 Something lesser daemons
And a couple o' spawn

Time to get painting!!!!!

im digging the colors you picked out. looking good man. ive come around to liking them

Awesome! I can't be asked to buy and assemble the metal raptors, so i'll just convert assualt marines.

Cheers man.
It must have been one hell of a rollercoaster ride for you!!!!!!

you know I have wings like that myself I might do the same. I got them for Warriors (Tyranid) but they were too small.

They look good, but I'm a sucker for the Assault Marine Jet packs

Even if you're not painting the lower half of the model, I find that the eyes, while a small detail, really pull a model together and can make the difference whether it seems "painted" or not.

Also, you've got some good dynamic poses going on. To make an even wider range, I'd suggest slicing off the chainswords at the wrist, and rotating them to different degrees to make the models look like they're doing more diagonal or sideways slashes.

I like the models, but how well do the wings stay on thought wear and tear; they look tenuously attached at best.

i think they look awsome

I like them a lot, they give a very different look but you instantly know what the are.

The colours look good as well, i can't wait to see a squad finished

Roller coaster, maybe. It happens tho. Sometimes you see something that at first you think "ew" then after a few times your all about it.

I corrected your post

Its a sad story thats happened to many people

You know you could do it even cheaper and use fantasy bat swarm wings.

bat swarm wings are tiny.

IMO these wings are a little small aswell.

The pins go as deep as they can and the milliput strengthens it all up.
Also i'm kinda good to my models. They are kept in eggbox style foam cases.
No problems yet. Fingers crossed.

Me too! I've kinda put my CSMs on hold.
I can't really concentrate on them too much at the moment because of work commitments+ good snow condition!
Painting some Ultramarines from Black Reach with paint colours straight from the pot! , pretty brainless!

Thanks for the kind words on these again.

Erm no, no there not. Have you ever seen one? There at least as big as the harpy wings if not larger. I'm talking about the plastic ones btw, the ones which came with warhammer quest among other things.

I plan on making some Raptors like this, but with feathery wings

These make me think of Night Lords, actually. If I were to do a NL army, this is how I would do it - not the GW "Bats in the Belfry" version.

these are pretty legit looking models
