DAMN YOU THIS LOOKS COOL!

You should see the complete thing when it's finished with the shark mouth freehanded on it..

I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT I WANT

I've always had a soft spot for Republic Gunships, right next to Halo Pelicans. You did a great job building it I can't wait to see it fully painted!

Your style of painting perfectly compliments this army. It all looks like it jumped straight out the tv!

I hate to admit it, but the first thought that came to mind when I saw the R2-D2 was "cute!"
... then I realized I just called a miniature model cute.
Fantastic work, good sir! Can we expect a full army shot when everything's done?

smothest awesome looking highlights i erver saw!!!

Thanks guys.

Objective droids are finished:



Now all that remains are the ships!

Does anyone else think R2 looks edible?

Like he’s made of icing/marzipan or something?

Anyway, the druids look great. Can’t wait to see the gun ships, that little teaser was cool enough. Strange as it should I wish I could paint straight lines as well as you can.

D

"those are the droids we´ve been waiting for"

LOL... i couldn´t help it.... that needed saying

and evildrcheese... yes... R2 looks like done with marzipan!!!

at develain...awesome looking... and these will only be mere objective markers? unbelievable...

Lol at Vik. These didn´t take me that long to build and paint.

For my eldar I made 2 webway gates and a plasma generator, just for objectives as well!

Yes you could just see them atop a wedding cake

those objective markers i would like to see too!!!

I second Vik: I want to see the eldar objectives too!

Also, can you add the wiring at 3PO's abdomen? I think that would be a great detail to finish it off.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Damned fine work

The Eldar Objective markers were shown in my Eldar Project Log last year:



And I couldn't find a finished picture of the Plasma Generator:

So Wip then:


Back on Topic: @Mars: There is very little space left on 3po's Abdomen. So I see no option to get that done, unfortunately.

doood.. those droids are really cool!

your stuff is really amazing and i have been following it for a while but your R2D2 is missing the blue squares on his head as is show in this pic

apart from that, your stuff is amazing and i can't wait to see more (and the droid army )

those objective markers look very cool... thanks for showing them to us...

I am speechless over the awesomeness that is this project.

Just SHOT through all the pages of this and woo! yay!

Everything's just as Genndy Tartakovsky and his team envisaged it.

I must say though, when you said a few months back that you had a cunning secret plan for your Coteaz, I really, really, really wanted it to be Grievous in the pose he strikes at the end of the first series. But the arm-taser thing is pretty cool too

I get why you don't want to overspent time, effort and points, but still, I get why people want to see Obi-Wan leading a squad of Star Wars Shining Spears. And all the other shinies. But whatever your next project, if it's based on the original Clone Wars series, and has this level of skill involved, I might pee a little...

Haha Thanks Guys!

When this Star Wars project is done I am going to pick up some other unfinished project that I started couple of years ago..

Vostroyans! Check my thread.

I don't know how to make clickable links in my sig yet. If Someone can tell me that would be great.
PM me if you can.

Fantastic work man that R2 looks sooo cute!

Thanks!

I was finishing my army for the Dutch GT and then you come along with this magnificent army! Thats it! iam packing up! Your painting makes my painting look like its done by a drunk monkey (well I was a little tipsy most of the times).

Looking good Roel..

I will see you at the tournament!

(little question: doesnt it bother you that you cannot field those stormravens first turn for them being flyers and all? you have to deploy sum units because you cannot put everything in reserves. nothing on the board means auto loose .)

Thanks man.

@Shogun: About fielding my units. I have 10 Units in total, 3 are fliers, they don't count for reserve rules.
So that makes 7 units. I have played a couple of games now with this army, 4 units are in the fliers, The Jedi, Jokaero and the Vindicare start on the table. They held out every battle so far (night fighting helps alot)

But I am not completely sure I am doing this right, because 7 units, half is 3,5. Do I round that up to 4 units on the table, or down, 3 units start on the table as I do now??

Btw Shogun, you know my name.. Do I know you too? help me remind you!

We had a battle at the Dutch GT 2010. I played the red tyranids against your thousand sons.

Dunno about the reserves...spend more time painting then learning the new rules.. 8)

Greetings Rick

Oh hey Rick!

Yes I remember that battle, you had like 6 big bugs

And we met at the Daemons and Damsels as well, right?

Ik zie je over 2,5 week op het toernooi. Wat neem je dit jaar mee?

Yes, thats true!

Last year I went with my Spacewolfs but now with the new rules (psychic) I like to give my Tyranids another go.

my list:

Flying hive with devourers
swarmlord with 1 tyrant gaurd

tervigon
tervigon
10 termagaunts
10 termagaunts

3 hivegaurd
3 zoanthropes with pod
3 zoanthropes with pod

1 sporemine cluster of one

Iam leaving my trygons at home this time. Almost finished with painting my swarmlord and zoanthropes with pod.

See you then and congratulations with the painting award.

Love the droids. Will have to go and check out your Eldar blog now

R2 D2 is indeed awesome. You're gonna have to work very hard to top him with C3-PO. But Kit Fisto is the biz!

BAM!

Gunship #1:

Enjoy.
