Good you have first platoon! meow.
but tell me about a vox operator with skullcap/M1 helmet please

@Lone cat- Sure, he is going to be the vox operator for the company command squad. Considered making him master of ordinance, but we will see.

love the heavy bolter conversion! have no fear, i want to get more squiggoths.

Quick update. An example of sawing off the shoulders. All that remains is sticking on the arms. Speaking of arms, here is the first veteran with the SM scout shotgun. Arms are a little off but not so much it doesnt work, at least thats what I think. Any Dakka opinions would be welcome.

Pray, for i spray! epic conversion again.

The SM scout shotgun conversion works well here. I like the extra armour on your vets and Harker conversions. They make sense, Imo

@panda and Brotheralexos- Thanks guys I'm glad you like what is going on. I have made some decent progress this week though nothing posted yet. Harker got a new head and his squad is built except for one guy. I could have sworn I had enough shotguns. Oh well. Also got the red on 5 Blood Angels.

More importantly, I'm sure everyone is just as excited and happy as I over the Orange Bowl win! Go Noles!!

Quick update with some of my stuff. Harker got his head swap, much better I think, and his squad. BA's are coming along. And that gorgeous FW Hellhound I am stripping. Moving right along......

ooo forgeworld, nice update 40k love the marines and that harker is making me feel girl with the amount of manly he oozes.

Great looking bunch of mini's! Have always wanted to build some Genswicks since I first saw them. You've done a really good job with them!!

@panda- Well, thats why he is called a Catachan Devil!

@rustbucket- Thank you and glad you dropped in to take a look.

Now, Harkers squad is mostly done. I have a different idea now for the shotgun guys so I will probably make up some lasgunners to fill it out. I chose a missile launcher and grenade launcher reasoning they are essentially the same weapon and compliment one another. Given these guys can kind of ambush the enemy I figure you can hit anything with these weapons.

The CCS Vox guy is finally done.

This is the first Lascannon. I am kinda excited about it, think I did a pretty good job. Still have some wire to sort out, but I need a base for that. All the heavy weapons will look different.

I like your Harker a lot, but I'm not a fan of the scout shotgun arms on your bodies - they do look far too big for what is actually a light weapon. Have you considered modifying a lasgun into a shotgun - I've seen some bolter - lasgun conversions which look really good and use cadian arms.

And the ML team actually carries the Bazooka

that heavy weapon is so simply and effective, well done 40k

Im lovin the new Harker head, and the chubby Vox man is so full of character he needs a story of his own! I love what you're doing with your Genswick regiment.

@cosmic pixie- yeah I think you are right about the shotguns. The more I look at them the less I like them. Besides, looking at the rules, they may suck. Thanks for stopping by!

@Lone Cat- Exactly. Bazooka too cool not to use.

@panda- Thanks, by the way I am very sad you opted for more giant squibs rather than conversion packs. I'll probably get over it at some point though.

@Brotheralexos- Thanks man, I may use Bretonnian or Empire characters to round out the squad. We shall see.

Finished striping the Hellhound. I decided on the light color for most of the tank with the dark turret. Figured I would try something new for me. I think it will make weathering easier too. Still lots to do but here you go....

Cool stuff here man! I really like the look of the army!

Thanks eldartau, glad you like them. Your wolves are looking good too.

Hellhound is finished and I was happy until I weathered it. Probably should have practiced more before using it on a FW tank. Anyway....

I love these conversions. Well done

Great job on the revamped Hellhound so far! Big improvement from the original condition.

@swampyturtle- Thanks, glad you like them.

@rustbucket- Thanks to you too, sir. I think I need to do a better job on the weathering. Probably should have tried the colors on something else besides a Forgeworld tank first. Oh well.

As for some progress, I finished up Harkers squad and 2 gunners for the 2 Lascannons. One more of those guns to build then Ill finish the crews and get them mounted. I also finished up the CC squad. Went with a standard, just think it fits the army. That dude holding the paper is my master of ordinance, big guy will join the CC squad as the RTO. This is a very bits intensive project, really slow going. Anyway my modest progress shots....

Those look great man! The hellhound is amazing! Way to bring that thing back from the dead!

Thanks eldartau. It was worth the gallon or so of simple green. Actually had 4, thats FOUR, different coats of paint on it. Last one was blue, really blue.

A WIP shot of whats next. The afore mentioned command squad and a Leman Russ. The turret options are magnetized. First time I have ever pulled it off.

Nice! Plasma is the way to go on the CCS imo. Magnatizing has never been my strong suit sadly o.O.

lovely work! really love the army, the theme is great.

Thanks gents, here is a little Leman Russ action for ya. I went a little lighter on the weathering but may put some more on later.

Nice man! Well done. I really like how it turned out!

That, is one fine-ass army...

sweet russ work 40k!
