Wow, you must have an endless bitz box!

Hey look! New Page

^ its like Barneys bag he carries!
btw this command bunker is awsome!

I use one of the 64L storage boxes from a company called 'Really Useful Boxes'

http://www.reallyusefulproducts.co.uk/uk/html/boxdetails.php

Lots of sizes; they stack; fit inside each other and best feature is the inside walls are straight with right angle corners. Unlike most boxes that seem to either slope or curve.
The small and medium cardboard packing boxes GW stuff gets posted in fit perfectly.

Yeah man, the bunker is just full of win! Great find! And great job!

Some nice new stuff, good work

Managed to find so suitable comms looking pieces, added some netting ( which could do with another dry brush). More pics in the finished terrain thread (see sig) . . .

Is that model to the bottom right a stormtrooper? Reminds me of the guys off Lost Planet 2 what with the desert cape and goggles.

Again, love the bunker!

Cheers mate , glad you like it. Not seen one of these for years.
The bloke with the bolter is a Vostroyan sniper. Prototype Skitarii . . .

Oh right! Knew I had seen that figure someplace.

Finished Sentinels:



Now those are finally done, I think there may be a danger of actually finishing this off:



Also, a rummage in the roof space during a recent visit to parental abode produced these:




Somewhere there should also be a box with a couple of old skool Landraiders, brace of mk1 Rhinos and a pred, next time . . .

Those sentinels turned out great, Ash. And I love those retro BAs! Sweet find!

Not sure what to do with them, yet. The servitors and Techmarines will no doubt end up in a box marked Ad Mech . . .

You could give them.. and the tank/apc thing to me

that apc is awsome as gak!

The apc is a 1:35 scale USMC LAV-R, nice kit (think it was Trumpeter, came with some rather cool etched brass bits)

Along with the boxes of Marines there was another case full of Genestealer hybrids, a shed load of 1st edition Space Hulk tiles, the boxes all the Terminators came in, five packs of plastic jungle trees . . .



. . . and the first IG I painted, not sure about the green gloves!

WOW! You had some nice stuff stashed!

Just discovered this amazing blog - it's so inspiring! I love the individual and inventive units you create! It's a great example of making an army and not just a trop type to fill a role in the game. Your Arvus lighters have tonnes of character (people say they're useless in the actual game but that's missing the point I think) and your tank crew look hard as nails, a real "been on a long tour" vibe

Also, do you count this as a Basilisk? Because it kind of looks like a Medusa. In any case your work is amazing and I'm certainly subscribing to this!

Those sentinels are lovely. I wish my attic was packed with antique gold like that. It's just full of spiders.

@ progreen10: The roof space had plenty of goodies. All the 1st edition Space Hulk stuff is in great condition; had all the tile from the main game plus both expansions, along with a second set of each that was bought from Games workshop way back when. All in the original boxes. A figure case with what looks like all the old metal Genestealer Hybrids and a shoe box full of plastic Genestealers (unpainted!) There were also spiders . . .

@ nightside: Thanks, glad like you it all. The grubby tank is a Medusa (or counts as anyway)







The gun came from Maxmini:
http://www.maxmini.eu/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=120

Has some great details, such as the loading cradle:

Very cool! Tell us how you did those great rivets!!

All the rivets are as they came out of the box, no help from me.

The LAV-R, now with added paint. Still WIP, but nearly done:



As it's a counts-as Atlas I gave it a Heavy Bolter.

looks really cool, and nicely 40kified

I think I'm done with this:


more pics in the finished armour thread . . .

Awesome! Top notch looking stuff!

epic.

Thanks chaps, I'm rather chuffed that it's finished. It had been sitting half done for way too long.
Another lump of tank that has been languishing in a box is this ex-marine Landraider, repossessed, refitted and in the process of repainting for the Ad Mech.
First thoughts were do something that looked shiny and well cared for, however I don't seem to be able to make things look clean (adding muck is half the fun) so it will end up as beat-up Ad Mech. Sort of fits in with the Ramshakle games blokes who hopefully will get finished off as well:

Whilst I'm in the mood for painting I'll add this to the mix:

Turret, nearly done;

that turret is so cool!

Cheers Rogue, it's getting there. I had one of those FW extra comms kit pieces in my bits box, so it's going to end up with a ridiculous number of aerials
