Pith helmets on an ogryn sounds awesome! don't forget to give them fancy pants: gives them a 1+ fancy save, when combined with the pith helmet

Did you custom make your Leman Russ Executioner turret? or is that the new kit? I have one of the old-skool Executioners with the metal autocannons I need to paint someday.

Subject: Re:Glomscient's steampunk madness: A little surprise!
There once was a squad of Catachans on the planet Tiddycattus, accompanied by a Tiddycatian guide Ogryn, They were treading carefully, so as not to attract predators,when, suddenly, "foo... splat," a Catachan noticed that a bird had just pooped on his head, and wiped it off. He immediately died. This happened five times, before the sergeant said, "I suppose you don' know what happened to them six o' me men, do ya, guide Ogryn?"
And the Ogryn, being an annoyingly cryptic speaker, at least for an Ogryn said, "When da Foo s, wear it."

Also, I am making an admech army, so you will hopefully see pics soon.
P.S., I have a ton of stuff that needs to be photographed and posted, including a dreadnought that I got at a comic book store for $10! That might happen tonight, or it might happen tomorrow. Or I might forget, in which case, feel free to remind me in any way you can.

Thanks, though I think that the height of the hat makes him look kind of Amish (the sideburns may contribute to that).
Also, I just got a landing craft for my 1:72 scale steampunk stuff! I will turn it into an airship.

Subject: Re:Glomscient's steampunk madness: It's been a while, now have some pictures
isn´t it 1:72 scale? wouldn´t there be plenty of stuff all around to get models and tanks to be made from? you are not really then forced to pay FoW prices?
@Dave: I hear that there are other manufacturers, like plastic soldier company, that are cheaper.
@Vik: it is actually 1/100 scale, though I do have a lot of 1/72 scale stuff.
Anyway, here is what I have for flames of war:
-2 platoons of early-mid war panzergrenadiers, one platoon assembled, one base painted
-4 sdkfz 250 half tracks, two assembled
- a platoon of 2 8.8 cm (yes centimeters ) flak (anti aircraft: if firing shells the size of your head to blow up fast moving targets isn't orky, i don't know what is! ) guns, assembled completely except for the limbers.
-objective marker, painted (just cobbled it together from foam, mdf, artillery crew, spare ammo, etc)
-and a platoon of 5 panzer IV F2 tanks, all assembled, one painted.
I plan to paint more as soon as the weather gets better, because i use grey spray primer (yes, even for the tanks). I hope to be back to priming tuesday, I hear it will be 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Thanks for the compliments!

I think some brown paint and flocking/static grass on the bases will really make them pop.

Thanks, guys!
@dave: These are all still works in progress, so that will have to wait until after the metals, faces, vehicle crew, and other details are done. Right now, however, I just discovered that some really old, metallic purple enamel spray paint still works, so I'm having a bit of fun with that on a 1/72 Japanese light tank. Probably going to add hot rod flames, too. should be fun! anyone have pointers on enamel paints, btw? I haven't really used them before.
