mmm, you know i think that is the best place for it. I wouldnt want to take from the cool pose or relic. Ignore me, fine as is!

now thems be some smexy looking marines! I love what you did with the paint job, and the conversion work is brilliant! Well done =)


CR

thanks!

3 termies to the touch-up stage, and starting work on a "combat squad on the move"

Dude, you really have a skill at capturing a great pose. Very nice work.

i really hope that i can come close to those kinds of poses on my army as i set to work on it again.

nice work dude.

thanks guys!

so the new ink that ive been using dries very shiny, and it seems to highlight all the mess on the model. These are about 85% done - theres some obvious cleanup work that needs to happen, and a dull coat to get that nasty shine off. Worked on faces a bit too

Cant wait to get these guys to a finished spot. After this, just 5 more marines and a shrike - ill do my first basing run.

- edit: odd image poster isnt working. uploading through imageshack now.

look good! cant see the shine from the photos though, but i know what you mean. Dull coat will right your world.

Update - Since i took the pics early today, the stages you may see might not match the list I posted @ the end.

Oh - and when you get to my list - finished DOESNT MEAN BASED!
Going to base them all at once after my infantry are 100% finished. Was planing on basing them in a black/charcoal OR dark orange rocky scree-field. black would look great, but orange might contrast nicely with the slight amount of blue in my force. Would love to hear some feedback/ideas on the basing. Originally planned for tundra but I think i want a big environment contrast to their armor. Not really a fan of overly "organic" bases either, with lots of grass and whatnot.

Some random pics!

Sterns WIP - Just finished blacking and basic head layouts - Metal/Details/Cleanup - especially on white - in that order to come later.... For some reason when i need a break from my termies or tacs i turn to my sternguard... The PF stern has been done for awhile.


Here's the current list plan


Could remove a bike + the ironclad and add in 2 vindicators. Definitely something worth thinking about - your thoughts? For the moment, I think I like the ironclad, as it can really tie up units that give Hammernators a run for their money (Big blood crusher units, etc) and gives me a nice, scary deep striking unit to turn the pressure on early and hopefully soak up some AT fire- However, by turn 2, my Ironclad should be in CC (meaning its no longer soaking up AT) and it can only soak half the firepower that 2 vindies could.

On the other hand, in the late game, im slightly worried about the vindies scattering on to my precious terminators.

Anyway, here are some pics.


Again (oops didnt mean to take this one)
