This is wrong tool....

Here is a look at my current list.. The bikes are proxies ( WIP ) and the Tactical squad MM are only half done, Otherwise very close!

Here is the start of the Libby On a bike.

I feel like he's going to stab me in the eye... in a good way.

Thanks dude, I was going for the lance look . GW melee weapons are so out of proportion anyway and didn't want to make another raised weapon figure pose.

I'm still trying to figure out what to add for the PSYhood,

Da termie shields, the shoulder ones, make good hoods.

Nice work on that Librarian, SL. I like the choice of breast plate and the position of the sword.

Worked on getting the command squad built. The Bikers are not attached which will allow me to paint the hard to reach areas on the bike itself.
I used the normal Marine bikes for the 2 normal guys and bits and peices from the ravenwing box set. I initially wanted to not use the wing coweling but it became to time consuming to modify for the Plasm talons.

I also cut the banner bearer arm from the banner and used it for one of the corvus hammer guys. It's a nice bionic arm and needed to be used. I'll never use the banner unless I but it on a chao's or ork display. Hopefully you can see it on the far right biker.

Those are looking mighty fine SL, keep up the good work!

Nice work, SL. I like that you reversed the hammer on the one guy. That's a nice touch.

both ends are dangerous.. as a real WH would be. this one is just powered (+1 S is powered?) oh well.

Priming and base color tonight.

Weekend - Display!

New Bikers WIP



Secessionist display done ( ok still waiting on the new Barricades )

The blue on those bikers really jumps out at you. Very striking.

You've done a phenominal job on the display board Pat. Simply amazing!

Sheesh, and here I thought I got some work done this weekend! You must not sleep.

It's all looking fantastic, SL. The board is amazing. I really like the color of the ground and the rubble. The inclusion of bunkers and gun emplaces really brings it to life. I can't wait to see it with figures on it. Speaking of... you should take a picture with some Lamenters on it.

The bikers are looking good. Nice job on the hammers in particular. I like the lightning effect. I also really like the black and white feathers on the Librarian. That's a really nice touch, to match the feathers with the check pattern. I'm not sure about the red and white on the Apoth, though. I get what you're going for, but it seems a little to stark next to the yellow. Maybe if you tone it down a little, make it more bone and blood? I'm not sure. The rest of the paint job is looking nice, though.

That display board is something else, well done.

The display boards look great next to each other and make sense now! Well done looking forward to seeing the copleted thing

Wow its looking amazing! Cant wait to see this thing in person!!!

I really like the blue robe on that one biker. Really stands out wonderfully.

Thanks, I spend a lot of time this time of year on Adepticon. so as I have things built it should get easier as I have more units to select from.

I'm assuming the feather on the back as a easy to recogognize form .. Red and white + apoth

That blue is so very wow. And now I can't wait to see the board with everything on it! So terribly, terribly jealous that I live on the other side of the "pond".

Into the breach..

Beautiful work SL. Fantastic!

Good work, especially the checked shoulderpads.

Super cool, SL.... Really awesome work!

Thanks Git, always good to have the praise of a painting tounament winner!

grrrfranky. Thanks.. I still dread the shoulder pad portion of my painting

Ramos.., Thanks brother... I'm no Ramos for sure, but they'll do for an old guy!

They look fantastic SL, I would love to play against them.

Fantabulosa. In all that, probably my favourite is the scouts. So hard to do well. Lovely retro metals, too.

Very nice work, SL. The bikes make a great centerpiece. Love that last photo, too.

GiraffeX ... next time I come to the island You and Graven are on the list!

YB thanks..Ice for the last couple of years took really good perspective shots... I think they tell a cool story and if Ice does it I wanna do it just to hang with the popular kids!

^ I am honoured *bows*
