Checks are fine.. it takes a fine pointed brush and a steady hand to to them perfectly. ( I'm not even close ). For Orks I'd say they are Perfect.

@Yggs: Thanks, I've been looking for an excuse to use it!
@SL: Your checks are superb, enough already. Oh, with bionic leg and classic psycannon? Love that model too, been after one a while.

So having juggled with various bits - there was a skaven-based servitor for a while, which whilst I'm not using, I'm going to revisit anon - I decided a servo skull was the best way to go (sorry MT!):


Some gs and more wires required, obviously.

Well, in lieu of a shoulder mount or a daemon skull, it'll do I suppose

Is that a parchment roller under the gun? And if so, will it get some trailing parchment?

Actually, with that pose, would the servo-skull work better on the opposite side?

Gee, thanks There will be trailing parchment; I did try it on the other side but wasn't quite right. And yeah, it's going to be keeping a tally of ammo fired. He's from the Ordo Actuaris, grimdark accountants of the future...

I know that's always the accusation with that bit but see above. It's better than the original:
Spoiler:




So, my friend really liked his Ordo Xenos warband, and I'm going to build his wife an Ordo Hereticus version (she likes painting) around a "burn them!" design. Should be fun. Also, there will be an Ordo Astartes warband for one of my other friends, so that we have a little set of =][= warbands to play with (although that may be derived from the Terminator =][=). WIPs anon!

Vik, you havent heard of the Andrex puppy??
Seriously??
It is the mascot of the Andrex toilet roll brand, you should look it up

Looking great Graven... I am guessing that if blowig your nose in the tissue doesnt get rid of your blocked nose then the storm bolter on the drone should clear the problem right up

Hey you try finding decent bog roll on a purge of the Underhive and Uncleanliness lets Nurgle in!

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Oh Graven, I dare, nay, double dare you to paint your servo skull (which you have to name as Andrex) with barbed wire patterned parchment (bog roll) like in Vik's picture above

I Feel I've reached that very special place, where your blog takes on a life of its own thanks to the crazy, wonderful, batshiz mental people around you. I have attained... Nerdvana!

So in response:
Inquisitor Andrex:


And new retinue members!
Acolyte Muon:

Just a gorgeous old spryer. Don't think I'm even going to modify her at all. There will also be another, but it's getting stripped still.

And an attempt at something really off the wall:


I'll need to get shot of the back so you can see his servo skull, tooo. This is the squad's mystic. No, not squat mystic, don't be ridiculous...

Other stuff: life is OK, very up and down, hence erratic posting, should be a bit less so in about a week.
