**Flinty**

I managed to get some base coats on today. huzzah! My knowledge on the use of brown is now increasing a little. Also Kommando Khaki really doesn't cover well :( Many coats ahoy!

Also - AnUnearthlyChilde - Fantastic work.Great graduation from dust down to mud on the lower parts of the 'nid.

**Miss Dee**

What about my DA?

**nerdfest09**

Oh no Miss Dee! we haven't forgotten you! :-) we just got chatty like a couple of old ladies that's all lol! I like your DA, the pose especially is strong with imagery of signalling a charge into the foe! gleaming armour and sword leading the way into bloodshed!

Don't forget to PM a finished pic as well.... ;-)

**Miss Dee**

Ha I took ya seriously first time but I just feel like mine will look likegak in comparison!

But thank you for the kind words again! I'll try and leave em on and continue with next models!

**voxplayer**

Here is my WIP shot for my Archon. I'll get him painted up soon.

**KingCracker**

Heres my WIP. Ive decided to repaint GrotNob for this comp. Ive got to touch up the klaw and finish it, the skin is nearly finished. So much to do on such a tiny model

**lone dirty dog**

OK I was going for another miniature but I am not sure it will work ? So I am now going for this mini instead needs a little work to finish her of but she is pretty much done, except for paint

The pony tail needs some work, plus the flash on my cack camera does not seem to show her at best.

**Flinty**

Nice work on the armour plating. What's the symbol on the right shoulder pad?

**Viktor von Domm**

cool mini LDD... that GS work looks really fine and smooth!

and it´s a wing on the shoulderpad...

**SilverMK2**

Pretty cool HT

My WIP EC:

**lone dirty dog**

Thanks and yes it is a wing I was going to use it as a unit signature

**skyfi**

Ok got a digital camera from the gal to use and few wip shots

Spoiler:

**lone dirty dog**

skyfl great job on the ork, target system is a cool idea, great to have it on a retractable arm might have to borrow that for my Orks.

**prototype_X**

Just a question. Is it okay to enter a model (say a chosen fron DV) if it will be played as a squad leader?

To clarify, ome of the basic chosen used as a sgt for a basic marine squad.

Sorry for spelling, small phone, fat fingers.

**Viktor von Domm**

cheers, vik
