Yeah its humid as *beep* here but its been raining or cold, or raining and cold for two months and I can't stand it anymore. Its the warmest, most dry day in two months so I sprayed...seems to take paint pretty well, but all I touched was the one marine and some silver on the ironclad.

Quick touch up while waiting for a game to install.

Today's work while watching Eureka

I'm not a big fan of the paint job but good job

Not to happy with the front end of the first Rhino slash Razorback but overall I think its all coming together into a what I was wanting.

Have you considered doing multiple thinner coats to deal with the brush marks? Also, what brushes are you using?

I have considered it and am experimenting with it...but I am beyond broke paying for real bills so perhaps up until March my budget is as close to zero as it gets sadly. I'm gonna have to go back over them once I buy more paints as I'm getting very low now.

Tinkering with a Kill team add-on to the Decepticus. The first to be worked on is the Kill-team Tac Sergeant. Using termy legs with regular torsos to show these troops are a step different than the other two tactical squads I already have.

My female vet squad kill team.

Very G2 megatron colors. Really lie the idea, may have to try some my self. Always wanted to do a Megatron Preditor reshell to play with.

I love the idea man, awesome! Get some decals on those shoulderpads and you're off!!

Agreed, the colours are indeed very G2 Megatron. Although the TF geek in me (and he's a freaking massive TF geek) feels I should point out that Unicron isn't technically a Decepticon, he's Unicron ;-)

These look boss though, cool colours and cool fluff.

Great idea and far more creative than other armies, I've seen. Try to add more metal bitz and things to any vehicles. I think that the Dred should get looking a bit more spikey. Still, though, keep up the good work.

Yeah I thought I'd let that one slide.
Oh yeah, and boss wasn't green and purp

I like them, though I recomend you dip them as that would make them show out amazingly. Also where did you get those heads at?

I purchased them from the warstore's bitwagon other companies minatures section but they made by Micro Art Studio the pack I used was Women Heads Set 2 (c00021)

When are people going to learn crossing genres never work in warhammer 40k or Fantasy, but it is your hobby.

Cheers

No reason your hoddies cant cross thread.
How many people on dakka play DoW?
Guess what, cross genre!

BARNIE MARINES
I love the interior of the rhino's, but one thing that bothers me is why all the girl marines?

Just wanted a different kind of crew for my kill team. Plus I've seen alot of conversion and wanted to try my own out while kind doing a true scale marine. Once I got started couldn't stop.

Desk idea is a cool objective.

Wrong. DoW is about Space Marines and their enemies. It is like making a WoW themed army for fantasy or a Carebear space marine army.

Cheers

I can see your point Kinghammer I adore the fluff and seeing the models that GW has painted and those who made their own perfectly painted ones. But not everyone will. At this time only the five kill team ladies have anything that isn't standard space marine equipment but that will be changing as time goes on until I've reworked it into a more appropriate TF themed army.

I like the idea but you color scheme all it makes me think is "The Joker".

It has been said several times your paint seems way way too thick, try thinning it and doing several light coats. Also do you plan on highlighting them at all?

So they aren't the same becuase one is GW fluff and one isn't? I say whatever makes someone motivated to paint an army up and play some games, its a good theme.

Is the company master going to have a big arse gun on his arm?

I'm gonna try, right now my HQ is a Master of the forge on the bike with a conversion beamer. But I have tried to figure out a way to do that that didn't look silly.

Make him part of the bike. Its a transformer themed army, and with the unicron referance, its just asking to be Sideways (Armada style). He's even purple!

Some of my day of from work work. ^_^ They aren't done but I'm taking a break to play some games. ^^

You had to put the idea into my head! Behold prototype number one.

Nice. All your HQs should be themed. A jumppack chaplin Starscream and Librarain Soundwave!

I thought about that but for now I have three MoTFs rotating for the honor. Now a jump pack I don't have but I do have alot of chaos backpacks I could "proxy" as until I can get more bitz order.

The colour scheme is pretty damn awsome!
But your rocket launcher in the first pic just makes me cringe, it looks like the mould was not fully filled or something but the barrel ends just dont fit snugly.
