UPDATE: I am re-listing some of these items as the past winner on EBAY fell through on payment. Please take a look. The auction links are at the bottom.

I spent a pretty good amount of time finishing these guys up and had a good time playing them. I previously used it as a Crimson Fist army with Pedro leading the way making all of the sternguard scoring.

AWESOME I love the swamp effect

**StyleXHobby**

Very nice! i think i may have found some of your inspiration.

But seriously, it looks really great.

**Demic25**

Looks great, I don't liek the high grass tho

**Dave_Fay**

Love the detail on the shoulder pads!

**Desubot**

HA I love the missing leg marines.

**Chris_P**

I believe the "missing leg marines" are in deep sludge. Cool effect. Overall the entire army is awesome and has a lot of character, great job.

**lajollagrad**

Haha, yea the legs missing was my way of fully utilizing all of the bits in those marine boxes.

Thank you for the compliments!

Great coloration, good shading, awesome freehanding. The swamp goo is a little monochromatic, but that could be just the pictures, and the knee deep look is pretty cool.

Don't like Pedro. Before I explain, I realize I am an unrealistic snob about this. Your Pedro is a beautiful model, with a dynamic, action-y pose. The pin that suspends him in midair completely undoes all the work you did for him. It's all I can see. The end-goal for miniatures is to deceive the eye into believing it is seeing something REAL, just on a very tiny scale. Suspension pins and clear acrylic flight stands completely break that suspension of disbelief. If you could remove that pin, he would be the best Kantor I've ever seen. (You could have him leaping off the stone, perhaps, with but the edge of his foot still leaving the ledge, with a pin running through your Kantor's foot to anchor him to the rock.)

Don't think I'm down on your army though, because it really does look good. That pod, particularly, looks groovy.

**Faux Pas**

I really like the pose you for Pedro, it's great!

**lajollagrad**

@Jimsolo - I appreciate the feedback. Mounting Pedro was a bit tough but I understand what you mean. I definitely should have tried to mount him on the rock with the tip of his toe and just pin him from there.

@Faux Pas - Thank you much!

**demonator76**

i just bought alot of the new kits intending to kitbash a deathwatch army. This is definitly the best inspiration i have seen for me. I will steal some concepts but i will be doing an ice theme to match/ go with my other armies.

VERY WELL DONE!

**Atropamin**

Shiny. Really great paintjob.
I can already hear them bickering.

**lajollagrad**

These guys are coming off the market in a few hours if anyone is still interested, please take a look at the first post links

**phoenix darkus**

All I can think of when I see Pedro:

SUPERMAN PUNCH!!!

Nicely done!

Some of the squads fell through during the EBAY transaction. They have been re-listed and the links to the active auctions can be found in the first post.
