Thanks for the info. I think I'd only ever run a Stalker with my local meta, I think it's better against skimmers. So maybe it'd look fine with the smaller guns?

**40kFSU**

Yeah, I think it would.

**40kFSU**

Finished the last 2 Sternguard and the Land Raider. Because that's how I roll.

**Paradigm**

Great work. That LR is awesome, really menacing.

**cormadepanda**

Sweet raider box. You paint so fast, I am impressed.

**Senortaco**

I love the weathering. Not too much , just right

**darthnatus**

A truly menacing army, that LR however is nothing but a snack for my Ymgarls...

**Largeblastmarker**

A sternguard sarge with no boltgun? pure heresy man. good work!

EDIT; i noticed that the cases around the las are green, but the hb case is black. Lol. interesting.

Well variety is the spice of life! It's also heresy.

Holy cow that's a lot of responses. Thanks everyone I'm glad you are all enjoying the army.

The last pieces have come in. A couple bike guys, one of which I am making up as a Captain. Notice the other bikers have a little work done. I replaced the flames and guy pointing with melta guns. I figure this squad is pretty hard hitting now, 2 meltas, a plasma pistol, and a multimelta. That's gotta ruin somebody's day. Shrike has also made an appearance. I figure this project should be finished by the end of the week.

**Largeblastmarker**

Omg finaly, shrike! Can't wait to see.

**Ruglud**

Awesome work on the Landraider 40k, I do love your vehicles and flyers...

**40kFSU**

Thanks Ruglud and blastmarker! It's winding down. Here is the rearmed bike squad and mounted captain. Shrike is all that's left then we are done.

**Largeblastmarker**

Excellente! such fast work!

**40kFSU**

How's this for fast work?

**Largeblastmarker**

a LC is missing a blade!

**DarkSoldier**

Naw, he just left it in a xeno's torso; he knows where it is.

**Paradigm**

Awesome and fast work on the bikers and Shrike, both are looking epic!

**Master Azalle**

How do you paint your bases?

**40kFSU**

@blastmarker- Yes, I managed to cut it off when I was cleaning him from the sprue. Nice move n my part.

@DarkSoldier- Ha! Better than my story!

@Paradigm- Thanks man, I appreciate it. I don't care for Shrike that much. He has too much stuff on him. I don't get how he moves super fast and stealthily with all that crap hanging o him.

@Master Azale- it's a thin cork base I got at Target. Bandit black, Rhinox hide watered down, wash Agrax Earthshade. Dry brush of Mournfang brown. rocks are bits of cork painted Stormvermin fur, washed in Nuln oil, dry brush in administration grey

So here is the finished army. It's about to be packed up and may go on eBay in a few days. Anyway thanks for all the views and comments, you guys are great. See you on the next one.

**Paradigm**

That is a great army and should fetch a nice price, very rarely do entire armies of this quality surface, for sale or otherwise, so you should be justifiably proud.

It's a shame to see this blog end, the quality and speed were both great. I look forward to the next project.

**Nevelon**

Very Nice!

**Master Azalle**

Wow brother, that's an awesome army shot. Sooo many different lists can be made out of what you have there.

I'm guessing (roughly with out actual numbers) that you dropped a little over a grand on the whole shabang. How much do yuo plan on selling it for? if you don't mind me asking, lol if you do, i understand.

**OneManNoodles**

Wow, you've finished already

Looks fantastic, It's a really great looking army. Best of luck with the sale mate, make sure you get the model cost back.

Any thoughts on where you are going to go next?

**40kFSU**

Thanks a lot everyone. I have a huge bits box and can build a squad with only a few new bits. Also made a few smooth eBay buys so this army didn't run me the 1200 or so it would have cost new. I'm figuring out the price now, just try to recoup what I can for the next project. This is just a hobby for me. I just sell them to justify buying more. At one point I had 6 huge armies.

For the next project I am probably going back to IG. The look is what's giving me problems. Mordians have the look I like. I'm trying to see if there are other options. My all time Favorite are Praetorians. But they are only available on eBay and are stupid expensive. We shall see.

**Largeblastmarker**

Wow. what a great army. Absolutely fantastic work!

Hey! I would love to talk to you about the army before you hit it up on ebay. Awesome work as always!

**Dinamarth**

These are a great Mordian alternative;

Oh btw, congrats on a nice looking army!

**40kFSU**

@Largeblastmarker- Thanks man!

@Dinamarth- I've been looking hard at Vic's site. She has a lot of fantastic alternatives. There has always been something I couldn't place about them, then I realized what it is. GW guys are "Heroic" right? Slightly larger weapons. I guess I am use to that because I find Vic's weapons a little small. If I go this route I may use her stuff for heavy weapons crews. The models are great though. GW just ruined me is all.

**Dinamarth**

I hear you. I'm wondering if you could just use Cadian arms/weapons on them though?
