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,

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.

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

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.

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
