Plasmas are great Max! Yes a lot better than the older ones! @Vit- I think it just looks off because it isn't painted yet.

I think the cannon nozzles are off too. But I know why. I didn't put any gear teeth around rthe outer edge of them as the real ones have and that would have made a difference.

No. These are cylindrical with a nozzle shaped insert inside. The real ones are conical a little bit though and have a gearing around the outer edge.....

Looks good, your plasmas are a little wide, but I don't think it matters.
The FW nozzles have a slight taper which would be very difficult to reproduce.

I've got to say as good as they look in the pics, in RL they are awe inspiring. I should start laying down paint on the custodes and 1k sons tomorrow afternoon. They have been screaming at me to be painted the last two days. They are soo amazing I'm kinda afraid to jack them up with a bad paint job. Got to say again Max, they are phenomononomonomonominal, I love them, and will be fielding them in battle in about two weeks at the store for our xmas apoc game.

Ok. So a few days have past and no updates. It was a time issue only I assure you.

Having completed the second of two warhounds, this one dedicated to the 1000 Sons (pre-heresy), I am prepared to display it now.....






















I don't think these photos do it justice but LittleSilverGuys is already painting them. Those photos will be much better I am sure.....
