Those look great! I had been wondering how those marines compared to IG. Nice! I'm not a fan of the helmets for those marines, but I guess you can swap heads...

Oh IG heads are HUGE! and those are the bare Catachans alone, Cadians with helmets are even worse, then you have Chbi-Guard with oversized heads. the heads of the UAMC with helmets on is just right size and properly proportioned, and I do enjoy the different design I have access to vior up/mask away, visor down, no mask, and fully enclosed with mask and visor for hostile gas environs.

he meant chibi marines... lol


cool suply drop shaso... and the bomma is looking damn fine if i say so myself!!! the pilot specially! i like how you worked the diffrent shades....!

the marines are atm something i am not that eager about... but i guess after we all had a chance to see your take on the WF greatcoats i think these will turn out great too... i have six of these and somehow i can´t really do something worthwhile with them...atm at least...

so the marines i think need your speical hand for a good camo job!

and boy do i like your camo- ed greatcoats!!!

you've been back less than a day Vik and you seem to be cruising for a bruising...

the chibi nids are rather cute... and can be found on dakka somewhere too!!!

tbh, its brilliant to see from a modellers point of view as its all scratch done.

Hey Vik is back! Yeah, i loved the synchronicity, I was hoping the boxes would all land the same day, but then expected them to string out and show on different days, but to look out the front door and see them all sitting there! I will be getting that packet out to you soon, but your Post code I forget if Germany uses letters in their Postampt codes or not.

Your 1's looked like A's w/o the mid bar, hence my confusion.

No worries, German Postampt delivered the things in a week. I just have to make sure the stuff is clean as there was some dust

You will find pics when you wake up Vik.

that made my day... and the figure of these somehow even fits those characters... that was a truly good one... only bested by the even now stunning camo look... you should think about some night ops with just two part camo... that would look cool...

and the OC rocketlaunchers look very good on the collossus...!

I figured that they would!

I have thought of night ops camo. Just Dark Grey and black at most.

Glad they are looking good and shaping up. I added paper clip handrails to two Kolossus so far.

the handrails need a closeup... i didn´t see that...

and yes... that sounds like a good camo scheme for night ops... and i´d probably use kasrkin´s for that...

That is how well I bent, clipped, glued and painted those rails!

That is what I use for the "Spetznats" troopers
