The tracks on the Hound could use a bit of mud and the plasma coils on the sergeant's pistol could use a highlight, otherwise it looks really good. The conversion is seamless and except for the lack of oversized fur hats he looks like he really belongs in a Vostroyan unit.

Righto major, looking very good. I'm going to be honest again though.......I still think you can do better. It is a great tank and it'll look amazing on the tabletop, and the stormtrooper is great too, but I just feel there's a great painter waiting to burst out  .........of the fuel tank in an epic ball of fire and prometheum! |

The issue i'm having with the strom trooper is his face, it's at a stupid angel. I'm away up at Silverstone this weekend fpr the Moto GP but when I'm back I'll up my game for you Cosmic ;D Thanks for the advice everyone  Major Downer |

Looks great sir, those vehicles really look like they've been salvaged from some swamp.
If you haven't done something with the plasma coil already, then I would suggest a light drybrush of Ice Blue,* followed by a wash of Asurmen Blue.* I find it works well as a quick way of creating some definition.
*I have no idea what the new versions of the paint are called...

I go in the shouting the old names and demand that they find me the same colours as the old ones. I don't see the point in changing the names. Major Downer |

The Hellhound looks nice and gritty! The only things I suggest to improve it would be to dirty the tracks us so they match the amount of wear and grime on the tank itself, and you need to drill out the barrel of the hull mounted heavy bolter. Aside from those two details it's an awesome looking job! |

I can imagine you going into a GW store, walk up to the counter and shout "Serving boy! Bring me the Blood Red and Ultramarine Blue! Do it NOW!" Made me crack a smile. ;D |

Aww, c'mon Major - I want to see your Zeppelin!!
The rest is looking great by the way. I'm really liking the carapace armour on the storm trooper sergeant.

You ever considered doing a guy thats been cut in half? That would make a good marker.
But anywho that has to be some of the best Vostoryan work I have seen in a while it's good stuff I have to say.

Niiiice! Are you doing his floaty buddies too? Please could you paint 'clean me' in tiny letters in normal paint somewhere on your hellhound, I think it would be hillarious ;D |

Excellent painting, Major. The Inquisitor is really imposing and it looks like he's ready to selfishly take up the space for about 4 models in your carry-case.
