Damn Shas! So much goodness going on here! Of course, the BoS are my favorite, but everything is great! I think you could spend a bit more time on shading and highlights to really go that extra mile though. BoS armor looks best with a bit of weathering methinks, of course, you're a mass-production kind of guy, so you'll probably do all of that at once I assume.

Oh if you look carefully, weathering and lighter metals for wear and tear have been added, I need to use the lightest of steels and some mud at their feet, and other fun touches to them. Same withe the unit of Enclavers

They look awesome.

Not 100% about the green guns though, great job on them, but not sure it hits just perfect with the models.

I do have a shade of green closer to this one. as Brother Vinni did not copy the lase rifles 100% they are not exact replicas, I did a military color as these were supposed to be military weapons. Now A3-21's rifle I would have used more yellow on the main body of the plasma rifle.

I see.

Please don't get me wrong, great job on the guns, just for me the green against the blue steel is very slightly um odd. But the models are great and your paint job is great. Nice an crisp.

Although I do need to black the foregrip on the las rifle as you can see in that screenshot.

So, did more work on the wargear of the powered armor, and saw the hoses from back to chest were to be yellow, still need to re-touch the helmet green hoses, and a touch of black on the power stores for the gatling laser. Meanwhile, they had to deal with a drunk and angry Supermutant/Ogryn

Then the other squad had to deal with the drunken giant. Last pic was after they agreed to pose for a pic with the big guy, and after saying "Cheese" had to calm him down with a block of the food, best to leave as they always seem quite flatulent on Brew and cheese mixing in their gullets!

The the desert rangers had to deal with him! And no drinks for the robots, the bar did not serve their kind there. Whiskey for the rangers, no beer for their 'botses.

You can just lighten the green, no need to get a whole different shade of paint. It's pretty close I think.

I am almost there, the guns will have a "worn" and used a long time look with lighter greens, maybe some spots of bare metal showing through at edges and corners, any parts that would easily get scuffed. Plus I have yet to do washes on the guns and such to get the deep recesses, and the plasma rifle cables need some work too.

I have decided to make this fire team another of the4 Kruegerian "Nacht-Jaegers"

So, inspiration struck me as I was black priming then adding armor gray to the under flex suit of light armor they wear under the carapace plates, and I felt to try to do a squad of Nacht-Jaegers in the latest carapace armor system. Then I will have the one team looking old Warzoney and the latest update from Mk-II to Mk-III carapace armor. What does everybody think of the 2nd Nacht-Jaeger team as it is progressing. Armor gray for the face masks as well to fit the theme.

Nice story.
I was expecting you to tie in the infected into your army and was wondering how you would. Although it does makes sense for them not to. Good to have a nemesis in any setting.

Thank you! I got more added onto the Nacht-Jaegers, the camo is done, I used adamnatium black steel for low level metal buckles and knife parts, oh, and that round piece of the re-breathers. Dark browns for the stocks of the rifles, leather, and the grenade handles are next, then the eyes

Well, the kid has been good lately, so my roomies have let him play his favorite game,,,,,,,Lego Indiana Jones!

Oh I have armies that are opposed to my Khadrovians. I have Orks, Tau and Necrons besides my IG and SM collections. Also, as I do have Deadzone and Sedition Wars sets, I need to see about keeping fresh those parts and games.

So, I have the infection looking to spread.

The Bruvvas Notz WAAAGH!!!-ing across the sector.

And Sept Kal' Dath of the Tau Empire staring across the de-militarized zone.

Love the colours, awesome.

The Nacht-Jaegers are looking great in their camo colours, good job

Great camo paint job.

Kabuki got a letter from me, I have been waiting ridiculously long for the Generals. I ordered the kit on the 2nd, last week they finally said the order shipped, and I would get a tracking number shortly after, well as it was the 8th when they said that, and it is now the 15th, I felt they needed a kick in the rump to get their act together. While they do great sculpts, I order one of six kits they had already made and in stock, It would not surprise me to get my tracking number after the minis arrive at the pace they set for themselves. I know the order is shipped, but for the past week, it has been freely roaming and may arrive today or tomorrow for all I know. air freight, signed delivery is what I am shown it will come as, but seriously, this does make me re-think further orders from Kabuki Models due to the lack of information flow from them. Other companies, well Hasslefree is fast royal post never does tracking, but Hasslefree would have landed days ago. Brother Vinni and My Way are also prompt.

Kabuki seems a tad lazy to me.

Never used a tracked service from them, but always had stuff within a fortnight from them in the past.

Well, there may due to being them shipping to America, not EU Monkey, so they promised a tracking number soon, that was on the 8th, I expected the new e-mail with the number in say by the 10th, not a week full on later.

Got the tracking number, it shifted from Italian post to USPS and is in NY waiting to come here. Phew
the squeeky wheel gets the oil.

Checked, it has been in NY since the 13th in the customs section. now in Bethpage, I guess they want to make sure it is not contraband, LOL

Sorry for the long absence, its been busy here, and no respite in sight . Loving the new units of troopers, nice color scheme. Only one question remains......

How did Hans and the rockets do on "The Voice"

LOL! the potato masher grenade does look a bit like a song mic doesn't it? Especially at that angle.

when I order the black widows and another box of male troopers for a co-ed unit, I will need a fresh command accessory kit as well.

I also have the answer for spare legs as I did get 20packs of all the torsos/backpacks/shoulder pads, so I have 12 sets left to work with!

I may also do more heavy weapon teams to make a twin missile launcher from mortars and twin auto-cannons on my Hanomags once those kits are out and ready! I just need to scare me up some more IG decals so I can make more squads have the "144" decal. I have enough for 30Valkirs, I need more for the new Nacht-Jaegers and will need more from the black widow platoon of 2-3 teams and the command kit when he makes that, eisenkern with a long coat looked like coolness to me.

Update: The Generals left NY and are enroute to WV as I type this, like will be here for my door tomorrow.

When I get time I'll dig for my transfer sheets and see if I have any 144s for you

Many blessings upon you! I was searching, and all 3rd party stores are out, and GW is not selling sheets unless you buy IG kits, which I have enough of those minis!

Yeah I give the eisenkern the adlers and 144 decals, otherwise I need to pint really, really small 1-4-4 on their left shoulders, LOL!

Rommel-X observing the battles. Kabuki missed an important item for him, German officers always had pistols, and as the model came with pistol magazine pouches already, I added one.

The reason for staining the minis was the resin as you can see is s milky white material, I wanted detail lines not to be washed by the flash. I have already given the generals a black primer coat. As always, comments are welcome!

Primed and started Nelson-X

And that is the latest progress report on the Generals so far.
