That is just awesome.

I was so tempted to post the main dino riders theme here, lol.

Thanks guys. I've thoroughly enjoyed a change of pace. There's nothing cooler than space men on laser gun dinosaurs!

Very interesting stuff Bash. Dinosaur huh? I like it!

Thanks Gitsplitta! My son was doing backflips when he found out I was adding dinosaurs to my army! He reeled off so many, I had to look them up to know what they were. That boy scares me with his knowledge. I've ordered 3 Velociraptors to make a small counts as bike squad. They'll be having power-lances similar to the Canaanite squad.

That's absolutely cracking Bash. Armour plates look great

Cheers buddy. They're just GW cardboard cut into squares, folded in half, and I just cut out some armour like shapes, then folded them out. Much easier than trying to do the same with plasticard. My skills just don't stretch that far. GS them on, and fill the gaps.

I'm not gonna lie --That's pretty awesome! I didn't see what the T. Rex counts as... Land raider?

I had the same thought. Having it count as a LR. I'm sure it could happily eat 10 Terminators. It would just have to wait 6-8 hours before deploying them through the rear hatch!

Ah I love dinosaurs. I was that kid back in the day that new them all. You need to have a pachycephalosaurus.

You totally need an Allosaurus as well.

Me too Archer! Though my dinosaur knowledge has somewhat dimmed, my enthusiasm hasn't. It doesn't help having a 7yr old that's a dinosaur nut! As for additional dinosaurs, I've been instructed that I have to add a squad of Velociraptors (which I've already ordered 3, but he doesn't know yet!), a Diplodocus, and Triceretops. So that's on the Star Scorpion list of to do's.
I'll certainly suggest an Allosaurus Stormwall, and no doubt that will be gladly added to the list!

I've finished the first five members of the 'Canaanite' Vanguard Squad:









They've come up nicely. Well happy with them. I'm working on the last five members, so another week or so, and they'll be done.

I've just noticed my blog has passed 20'000 views! Thanks guys!

They look so cool! Nicely done Bash

Thanks War Kitten. I'm particularly pleased with the weathering, especially on the shields.

Loving those guys - really great result. 40K Mentor(al) hoplites. sweet!

Those Canaanites look AMAZING. Definitely my favorite unit of yours so far. Also, on an unrelated note, I'm a little sad you changed your avatar pic as I will now have to stop reading all your posts with that Sergeant's voice... lol.
"But why us?"
"Because there's no one else here lad. Just us."

They look great and you get so many views because your stuff is so awesome.

Soon he will rival the P and M blog of Gitsplitta. Maybe someday

Wow!

They look amazing, best unit so far.

Shield and spear dudes look awesome.

The Dino rider is balls to the wall amazing. Have you considered running it as part of a SW detachment? The T Rex and raptors could easily count as thunder wolfs.

EDC

Wow! It's not often the Internet makes me smile, but you guys have done just that!

I felt a bit bad changing my avatar brushcommando, but I flippin' love Christamas, and Colour Sgt Borne will be back in the new year!
As for matching Gitsplitta's blog, I couldn't keep up with that man's painting and modelling speed. He's a machine! I'd need a good millienia to get to were he is now!
EDC - I did think about having the Star Scorpions run as SWs. Definitely something to consider. I'll be having my first game in the new year, after a 4 year hiatus. So excited!

I think they look excellent Bash. Very menacing and formidable looking. Look fantastic together as a group too which is always nice.

Thanks Gitsplitta. I'm hoping to have the remainder finished by the end of the weekend, as they've been a pain to get together and it's only right to get them finished.

Wow, they turned out really good! I love the detail on the shields and shoulder pads. Lances turned out great!

Spacewolverine - Many thanks matey. The shields were great fun weathering. They've turned out more or less as I wanted them too. I did consider making them a bit more elaborate, but I decided that with the amount of wear I wanted to show through, it would just end up looking too busy.

Good luck with your first game Bash! It's (usually) the best one!

I sure hope so. It's going to be against a very good friend of mine, whom I've known for decades, so it'll be a great event. We're booking a table at Warhammer World, then get some scoff and beer at Bugman's. Extortionate, yes. A bloody good laugh, it will most definitely be!

Let us know how it goes!

It's been a busy few weeks in the Bash household, but somehow despite the numerous Christmas parties and hectic work schedule, I've still managed to finish a few bits and pieces.

I've picked up these guys for my Star Scorpion force:



They're too good to pass up. And they make a nice alternative to regular SM Scouts.

I finished the Oldhammer Captain:



And I've been picking up a few ancient RT SMs too:



I added a Sanguinary Guard jump pack to this Librarian:



And I've finished the Star Scorpion T-Rex:











I had a ball painting this beast, and it was great changing to something organic. I went for a similar skin pattern to the Jurassic Park T-Rex, My boy thinks it's fantastic, with the las-cannons added onto it, making it a serious war-machine.

At the moment on the production line, I have:
10x Terminators
The rest of the Canaanite Squad
Terminator Librarian
6x Oldhammer Vanguard Veterans (Just need to matt varnish and finish the bases)
2x Old God Dreadnaughts
5x Sternguard Veterans
1x Contemptor Dreadnaught
10x Mk IV Tactical Marines
5x Mk IV Recon Marines
Oldhammer Terminator Captain
10x 2nd Ed Marines
2nd Ed Rhino
Razorback
RT Librarian
2x RT Marines

So lots and lots to finish. I'm hoping to add some more FW goodies to the list in the new year, namely tanks and whatnot. But for now, I've got plenty to work with.

Plastic and dinosaurs, that's a tittle! And some metal to boot.

Nice queue, will keep following.
