I picked up some Zona no. 11 sawblades..like a regular no. 11..but with teeth! -Very Orky

for the xacto knifes? that is something i plan to get me soon too...

Sawblades for X-acto, nice!

yeah Vik, I will build up the bars and also add a red wire for the one side. I have not found a body for the grot yet, so a head on a putty sleeping bag strapped in will suffice

lol... that is a funny idea!!! sleaping bag ROFL

that rail is and with it's beleveled front ends it fits perfectly into that vision of speed!

It was something I did for a Dark Heresy backwater world I made where the population was sort of wild west+Modern tech. A Rok had landed and well, some of the Grots found life amongst humans as mechanics for trucks and jalopies as lucrative, they set up hammocks and sleeping spots hung all under the desert traveling machines, took the party by surprise to have grot riggers tagging along keeping those trucks running for them.

Thanks! Glad that you now enjoy the cunning plan!

So I may have a working grot, if not, then a hammoc-sleeping bag with the grot head poking out and grinning at folks.

Also, Ima almost ready to unveil the color scheme and fluff for the Mantic Warpath Enforcers minis I got to act as "problem solvers" or for 40k I call them....Null Knights

"null nights"...hmmm... null means zero in german... i´m not that sold...but you will catch me when you reveal the scheme^^

Null Nuts would be a cool name for a Space Marine chapter

LOL...

Well, to answer, I know that in Germany Null is zero, but that also is the point of the Null Knights, they are the bane of Psykers and warp entities as they have a sort of terrifying psychic "black hole" in the warp and they are safe from most psyker powers as a result. They can be hurt by a hurled object, but that is the one power where their firepower comes to play, all other psykers are merely rounded up. I will have a full expose~ on them as they are like a odd Grey Knights sort of force. the S.C.H.M.E.R.T.Z. made them for use when they could not ask for Marines or count on the safety of the operation to the regular guardsmen of the Khadrovian Iron Guards, so here we go 3 pics showing trhe color scheme so far

Colors so far used, Primer was white, chaos black-GW, Blue Steel-Reaper, and boltgun metal-GW so far

I LOVE that blue steel color! You're doing the right thing by keeping your paints thinner than usual too. I'd like to see more of that!

Thanks! I am doing 2-tone gray weapons with some scope readers on them in DA green and scorpion green. I will be using Mithril silver tonight, added "cornflowerr" a reaper silvery light blue.

the cold blue looks very stunning shaso! sorry haven´t been online again for a while... my sons birthday and work again... i feel a bit like a heel for missing out on such fine stuff here!

reading your last post i am eager to see how this scheme looks then... hope you will spoil us with some nice closeups!!!

Seems that group shots are murder on the main guy's image, the Commander is less clear here than his men.

I will do him alone in shoot with white background so that his details are more easy to see.

The main rifle, alone, green aimer lens seen

Comparative, toothpick as having them all against it for referencing, Defiance Games Marine, Null Knight,Space Marine Captain. Notice the Marine is bulkier, than the DGmarine, but the Mantic mini is the tallest

yes...remarkably good looking... although i have to add... definatly a bit of a tau vibe about them... shoulderpads are a bit of a giveaway

and those groupshots sure show why they are a good choice of models for any fieldoperatives for your schmertz branch man...are they cutting edge^^

Well, the armor looking that way is accidental,,,,,or is ti??? Hmmm, have to wait till the full story on them is posted! The idea of their tactics,,,oh wait! have to reveal that as well in a short tale I am cooking up on them and a mission and the chilling nature of how they operate.

yep... i am nodding like hell atm... story telling shaso style has been way to long ago... so if your doing that... count me in as a reader

Well, the Commander alone so that I could focus on him and hope to get clearer pics.
Not quite. Might be the way he is posed.

Some more paint work, and a dark wash will make the lines for the panels and such stick out more

I really like the style of that armor.

with what kind of wash will you treat this armor? it definatly needs some wash...

seeing this high teck armor that close... i bet it was quite difficult to make out all those details... classic armor like that of the cadians...thats miles easier to paint than this hightech stuff...at least for me...

I have a mordian blue wash for the majority and darker washes for the silvered areas, gotta show some age for the armor.

Link to story in fiction section http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/509571.page

will read that later on for sure!

Although I warn you, this is a radical departure from most of my stories

Yeah, if you have not read it by now, Insp. General Romanov makes a short appearance, but whereas Vasily and his rascals were likeable rogues, the Null Knights are cold, and scary, likely why folks are not commenting as it is a tale to leave ye fold as ice

read! ^^

Yep, even Gunner's mate Jurgen with his blank gene gave folks the creeps that was more than just his bad hygiene issues!

hehehe^^

Psoriasis and month old socks and uniform worn on top of the fact that Jurgen is a blank/null/parriah

yuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
