Thanks guys. I really enjoyed painting the Asterians; probably my favorite faction so far. Hopefully, I'll be able to get in the Forge Fathers before Wave 3 arrives.

Though you can trim the plugs a little to make different heads fit or twist arms, like in my second Claw Commando, the arms and heads are made to fit specific commandos - the Claw goes with running Commando, the Ripper Talons go with the commando holding his rifle up in two hands with the optional bayonette, and the HMG goes with the Commando holding a rifle in each hand (I like to call him the Gunzerker )

Those supply crates are excellent I need to paint mine =/

@NTR yeah I had noticed that, although I think I got less 'gunznerkers' then usual by a weird proportioning of my sub-baggies, so I'll probably end up modding the arms to another dude.

Think I only got the two Gunzerkers between the starter and the booster bundle, it's a lot less common than bayonette Commando

Also I had miliput left over from pressing the bases out of a Basius pad, so silly dancing sniper is now "Oh gak a dud artillery shell hit the ground right in front of me "

Going to start on my Rebs this month - the Wirrawee Irregulars (kudos to anyone who gets the reference ), they're gonna be all kinds of colours, with the unifying element a eucalyptus green shoulder pad or the nearest to such a thing the mini has.

I like the red on snow bases. Are those decals, or did you use stencils? Or free hand?

Lines are preeety crisp, if free then really straight lines for it. Kind of looks like a black templar transfer but idunnoz.

The red definitely works for the snow, it is candy yet sinister at the same time

Also your board and scenery look great too. Did you find some kind of tile that was 3x3" or is that a labor involving a lot of hard work and time?

The Strider has a Black Templar decal, and the other is a 10mm Templar cross decal from Vedi Veni Vici (or something like that).

It is a Secret Weapon board. I need to varnish it still.

Enforcer Sniper... There will probably be a bit more work on the base - some extra snow and a plant (when I can find my snow ones).

Hello, all, great stuff in here. I especially love the colorful marauders.

To go against my glowing plague, I got my rebs and enforcers done. The enforcers are boring and grey, but here is a pic of the rebs.

Next on the paint table is a whole mess of zombies!

If anyone is interested, a review of the dirt cheap tank that was posted a couple of pages ago:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BroneKorpus-Battle-Tank-MK-I-by-Tehnolog-/141491317510?pt=Games_US&hash=item20f18a2b06

Price: $6.00+$2 international postage
Contents: 1 Bronekorpus Battle Tank with weapon options and some accessories
Delivery estimate to UK: 2-4 weeks

This kit came to my attention when it was shown off in a Mantic thread a few weeks ago, and for the price of £5 including postage, I figured it was worth a punt and ordered one. Two weeks later, on the first day of the two-week delivery estimate window, it arrived.

What you get:
The kit came packaged in a jiffy bag with all the parts clipped from the sprue. From what I could see, there was no danger of anything breaking in the post. Here is a shot of all the parts in the set, after about 10 minutes of cleanup:


From left to right, top to bottom:
Track unit, hull unit, track unit
Radar Dish, small turret, gun with single or multi- shot barrels, hatch, large turret, energy gun, flamethrower
Hatch, small missiles, large missiles

So lots of stuff. Some closeups of the specific parts:
Treads:


Hull:


Turret:





My only issue here is the slight gap between some of the guns and the turret housing, but that's easily solved with just a simple plasticard plate. Other than that, I remain very impressed with the details for the price, and the plastic is much sturdier than I expected, much closer to GW plastic than the toy type stuff I imagined I'd be getting for the price.


Assembly and versatility:
Assembly including cleanup of the parts took no more than 15 minutes, and not a single drop of glue was needed! Everything fits snugly together once the flash has been trimmed away, and there is a huge degree of variability in how you can put the kit together. First, I went for a Hellhound in the classic Turret-forward Chimera style, using the flamethrowers and small turret at the front, the treads pointed that way and a flat hatch at the back:



Next, I used the Radar and missile parts to build something like a Manticore. If I had them (and I will soon) I'd add another set of missiles on top to bulk up the arsenal, and maybe elevate them a bit, but as it stands, it's still perfectly servicable:


And just to show off how different you can make to it, here's an alternate gun, the treads and hull reversed and the Dozer blade added:


And should you ever need an obscene amount of firepower, behold the wonder that is Missiles on Flamethrowers on Rockets on Treads on a Dozer Blade:


In short, I rate this very highly in terms of assembly and versatility; out of the packet it has a ton of setups, and it should be easy enough to mount other kinds of weapons or turrets on the hull. Simplicity is certainly not to be confused with lack of quality here!

Scale:

This aspect is where so many kits fall down if you're planning as I am to use them in 40k or other systems, but here, I think it fits perfectly. I intend to use it as a stand-in for Chimera hulled vehicles, and here it is alongside a Russ, Rhino and a scratch-built attempt at my own slightly beefeir Chimera pattern:







So it matches up nicely, I think. Even the guns fit in with 40k's heroic scaling, so that's good.

And finally, some shots of the turret on other hulls. I may experiment with some other turret types for counts-as Chimera, in which case I'll have turrets left over...
Predator?


Alternate Russ turret?



Overall, this is a great kit, especially given the insanely low price point, and offers a great basis for conversion as well. I will be picking up another half a dozen in the new year, and thoroughly recommend it to anyone in the market for a cheap tank. Hell, combine a few of these with some Mantic or Dreamforge infantry and you have a mechanised Guard army for under £100!




TLDR: £5 worth of awesome!

Hey all, gave my scenery base tile another try http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/615308.page would love to hear any feedback before I attempt a few larger variations.

With any luck I'll be making some bigger versions which will cover buildings 2,3,4 or 5 squares and hopefully make some with built in features like steps and extra levels ect....
