I'm back! I havn't been on for a while now but I bring offerings of new models, in fact I bring you my first fully completed unit! My melta vets, complete with bases and even squad markings! I'm really pleased with how they've turned out. The only thing I don't really like are the transfers!! I HATE transfers now, first and last time i use them on any curved surface, I will try and paint freehand from now on. You can also see my army badge, a red and black patch (commisariat colours) above an imperial aquila. Without further ado here are the pics! Whole unit:  Specialist troops:  Lasgun vets:  Vet Sgt:   Different angles:   With their transport:  Hope you like them, comments welcome as always!! |

I'm guessing he did it on purpose. It looks fine either way.

Ashot just killed me. Amazing models though, really like the individual conversions, each trooper has a personnality and I like that w/ IG regiments (kill team style). The Chimeras real nice too, HB turret system. Is that a FW conversion kit that mine eyes have spied ?

Thanks guys,
Ashot, yes I know about the backpack! I did it on purpose to make to same backpack look different, I don't think its overly obvious!
Col. Mael, its just the current chimera kit, go back a page and you can see I've magnetised all the weapon options.

Greetings, I know its been a while since my last post! Haven't painted in a quite a while but got back into it this weekend. Tackled my CCS, nearly there but not finished yet. However for today here is a close up of my regimental standard, commissariat colours of course. Let me know what you think.  |

Now that.... Is impressive good sir! Truly beautiful work.... That could well be one of, if not THE best banner I have ever seen. That truly deserves a pat on the back. Great work Dave |

Looking really, really nice! I think this may have decided me on the paint scheme I'm going to apply to my old school metal Cadians... |

I'm seriously impressed
