Yup, that's all I did before adding the backpack and shoulder pads. Worked alright me thinks. A respirator would have been more in keeping but he's hard, he won't allow a little thin atmosphere slow him down! This. So much this. Really awesome job with the GS on him.  |

I agree with everything siad already; bloody fantastic!
I am wondering why you haven't painted your vehicles yourself, as you seem an acomplished painter.

Hmmmmm.........yes I can paint to a reasonable table top standard when I put my mind to it and indeed have painted lots of tanks For example, chimeras  Tanks   ...lots of tanks!  But every now and again, I see some work that blows me away. Ash, is one such painter. He very nicely painted my Arvus for me and when I cast him some BOARs I was wowed by his technique so I asked him to do some for me. Plus we were working on the gamesday board together last year and I was running out of time to get things finished so he kindly helped out. Unfortunately I also find painting a chore, preferring to spend my time modelling! |

Digits, if you ever find yourself blindfolded after waking up, there is a possibility that I've kidnapped you to do work on my Jangovingians. Just a heads up  |

Ah ok then, I thought you had an irrational fear of armour for a minute! Now I know otherwise!  |

Are casts of those trucks up for sale at all? They could prove useful for my army. I designed them with the canvas covered Black Dog cargo tray in mind so I can do this.  More cargo variants again painted by Ash. And what's that armoured beauty at the bottom right corner? |

In your dreams! Lol Right, I found some wip shots, mostly simple plastic card. The BOARs are all cast individually with plastic track links and cupolas added after.   Here are the masters for the BOAR with a Black Dog covered tray.  Which made it simple to replicate. Here cast with flexible flatbed tray.  |

That explains the crazy amount of armour then. I thought you had way too much free time and a mountain of plasticard! Seriously cool, it reminds me of the basalisk/earthshaker carrier from Gamesday a good few years ago.

It fills a gap tbh. I don't want to buy lots of centaurs to haul my artillery (9 pieces) so these work nicely. They count as centaurs when necessary or as scenery when not.
I have other vehicles that count as scenery or objectives too. Like I said, I'd rather play on a realistic table than assume everything has a combat value.

Last picture looks like it might be from the game Commandos from way back, rather than 40K. Still, good job on it.
I've also gone through over 100 pages of your Drogan Voltigeurs. You make some interesting minis.
