SO many models sash! dang. Do you ever get out?

On a Huge hill that would be a challenge for a healthy man let alone one with all my health problems Comrade, so the models help me be busy as I while away the days stuck here, and I have to fix my license so that I might be able to get about on my own some and hit the game store a few miles away by car.

So, walkers got finished from Hasslefree, very easy to assemble. I did some mods and have made them specialized compared to the all rounders last time. One is for anti troops and light armor

If you live on a hill it's easy to get out.
It's difficult to get back home afterwards though.

**Theophony**

I'm glad your grabbing all these kits, I've looked at most of them, but its always great to get a customers pics to see the imperfect parts that are sent out. Interested in seeing that jeep done

Yep, but I have tried downhill walking, painful very tiring to go back up as it is a 9 degree incline that scares some of our delivery drivers from usps and fed ex and UPS

That buggy is badass! But it needs an autocannon or Heavy Stubber up top! Hasslefree makes some great stuff don't they? Curse these Damn badass British mini companies!! I also like how you varied the camo markings on each walker. Much better than the old US Cold War woodland scheme..they went to great trouble to camo all the tanks exactly alike.

**Theophony**

That's the jeep, any other angles would be great

Yep, I personally feel that if the tanks all look exact, or in this case walkers, well, a very bland and boring army it would be!

I do have a side on view as well. It came with a pintle mounted weapon of more a rifle size quality

Agents afoot as well. These two take their work very seriously rooting out Heretics, muties and other nasties of the ruinous powers as well as Xeno interference.

Na..Put a ring mounted .bigass caliber something on that!

**Miguelsan**

I have some .50 cals from a Tamiya 1/35 kit that I think would fit nicely there. If you have some try them, they'll look weedy compared to GW but everybody knows that GW are compensating for something in their weapons

Compensating for lack of quality

The jeep is cool, thanks for that pic, can't wait to see you paint it up

**Dr H**

downhill walking

There's your problem (I do know what you mean though).
What you need is wheels and then let gravity do all the work for you...

Spoiler:

And. OMG it's Batou and the MAJOR!!!

This makes me happy.

**Viktor von Domm**

I envy you for all these nice new suplies, but not for howyou got them...
The painted walkers are sweet, period! Those ssquiggly lines again made such a unique look, you certainly mastered this camo!

Sorry to get here so late...but I sure got me an eyefull of eyecandy and no mistake!

MOAR ARMOR!

Looking fantastic as always Shas!!

**Theophony**

You know that drop walker is definitely not a worshiper of KHORNE because he has a Splatter shield on the chainfist

, he must be a prissy little ultramarine or something

**cormadepanda**

its a steel curtain!

Hey at least it functions well enough for tearing things up!

I have the some off-whites that will make for good belly colors for these flying armored beasts.

**Dr H**

Good good.

Blue rotors? Will they get yellow tips? Because all helicopters have yellow tips on their blades, so you know just how close you can get to them without getting a free hair-cut...

Also

to the belly colours. Will the blades get the same treatment, I've seen that done too?

**Theophony**

No yellow tips

if your dumb enough to get close to a rotating helicopter without ducking low then you get the special haircut to prove it.

They look great in your camo scheme. Can't wait to see the leviathan dressed up

Civilian rotor blades get the yellow stripe/tips as most folks can't be counted on to duck

He gets a bigger version of the storm trooper camo

**Ruglud**

Lovely stuff; Tanks, Walkers, 'Copters and Hasslefree, you can't fail but be impressed

I was going to come back and say that most of my model helicopters have them, but as it turns out, of the ones that aren't packed away it's only the Bell 47 MASH and the Apache that have yellow tips.
However, you go looking for Apaches on google and I only saw one picture where it had yellow tips on. Must be an old thing then... *shrugs*

**Camkierhi**

I do love the copters they look awesome.

All looking great.

Thank you! My IG is a very well equipped force as you can see!

They did make them pretty nice, if not honking huge like a Valkyrie

I like the white belly, although I think you can clean up the delineation line a bit

The clean up will happen, is just that the white linen underbelly was needed.

Now for some of the other things

**Dr H**

Lots of progress.

Liking the nearly white undersides of the choppers.

I'm still mostly excited by the Major...

**Viktor von Domm**

those heli´s look great... but tell me... why white bellies? why not grey ones? i thought aircraft usually gets them bellies painted grey as the sky is rather more like grey than an off white?

**monkeytroll**

Wowzers, lots of walkers

Especially liking the vanquisher and the spider, and your pics of the helis have convinced me, I've been toying with the idea of grabbing one of those for a while, nice to see more pics of them.

1980's Soviet Helicopter used a off white as to why? only the Soviet Airforce knows

So, I was having trouble with the fact that Captain Isseki (Not Batou) had normal looking eyes, so I did some drilling once I found the white round stock plastic that fit the bill and now he looks more like he ought to

The Major, which Dr.H has been anticipating wildly! Based on all we know, the one person the Mad scientist will wish to avoid having anywhere near his labs due to her innate badassery and force of her will

Touch ups with fine brush needed, yes, but hey, worth it as I have top notch agents here now.
