The infantry is looking good. I love the broken street bases. I don't enjoy making bases, so I found the cheapest city bases that look good and bulk buy them. Then I just have to make them look 'pretty' |

change the position of your painting area.
I have built specific painting shelves at shoulder height so that i can rest my wrists on the shelf when painting - thus keeping a straight back.
it works very well and cannot recommend it enough.

I bought the GW Grip in the hope that I'd be on my elbows painting rather down on the table but it seems it didn't work. Maybey I should have a box on the table to be more rised up, I'll try that out. |

Soooo, this happened. I've used 3 Max Mini Seige Gun's and they fit just right. I will also add a Heavy stubber too, so I can Maximise the fire power.    |

The spotter with binoculars is a nice touch too.

That stubber is going to be the deciding factor when you get into a firefight with that thing.. Looks great by the way  |

That's magical, I love it.
Do you have some sort of deal with Forgeworld where if you buy four Praetors you get the 5th one free?

Thank you very much Gents, I'm glad you like it.
This Praetor was my previous Third assault Launcher that I gently took apart. I know it's crazy but I had to do measurments and work out how much room I'd have, for the three Seige Guns. Don't worry, I will be getting another Assault Launcher to make it a trio once again.
Victoria Minatures have Howitzer seige Gun, but this was way too long because of the look angle of 80-85 degrees, the bottom of the gun would be hitting the floor.
I did a lot of research and found that Max Mini had the correct size, that would fit the Preator chassis, I took the gamble and it paid off.
I added the spotter because in the fluff they have crew men that operate the guns. I think he fits in well enough.
Please let me know if there is anything you would add or do differently.
I'm in negotiation talks with my partner, to have a stormblade for my Birthday, so far so good.

You have enough artillery to move heaven and Earth in the name of the God Emperor!!!
Loving the Grenadiers converted to Vostroyans.
Not only are all your models to a good standard but you seem to be improving with every update.
Keep it coming MD!

Haha,it's all about bringing the thunder. I'm glad you like the conversion, it's really simple to do but emotional chopping DKoK heads off. I'm looking to do the same on the Rough Riders also, to keep the army all tide in. I have good news for you, my partner says she'll buy me the 3rd Assault Launcher, which means my bonus is going on the StormBlade, this weekend! Then it's safe to say the Super Heavies are completed... until they re-release the Gorgon that is. |

I expect it was nerve racking cutting the heads off the Krieg models!
The Deathriders will look great with fuzzy hats.
Fantastic news on the Stormblade, is it Warhammer fest this weekend?

I have to cry in the shower after, get's too much. I have done the Death Rider with the Flag barer and he looks like Royal Russian Horseman. I just have to wait for next order from the Russians. I searched Google images and I've seen another Vostroyan Stromblade, that looked amazing, so I hope that I can do the same. Warhammer Fest is this weekend and I'm looking forward to it, last years was really good fun. |

How'd you get on at Warhammerfest? Did you end up with the Stormblade? Storm blade ordered as they didn’t bring any, Preator for my Birthday  Sisters release looks good to. Downside: my Car got Broken into slog with 5 other cars, smash the passenger window. Not enough to view and felt empty,I think I’ll stick to the open days in Nottingham. |

rubbish news on the car window scenario.
Seems odd that it was underpopulateed and understocked for visual treats. Would've thought it'd be a bigger gathering of toys than other events.
Look forward to seeing you next pieces.

That’s awful, what a nightmare finish to your day.
Sad to hear the event was underwhelming.
On a positive note, can’t wait to see your Vostroyan Stormblade!

I get my car back tomorrow so all is sorted and back to normal. Sadly, they didn’t have enough displays like Warhammer world, I guess it’s too hard to transport. I’ve been stalking the post man everyday this week, I bloody hope they arrive for the weekend. |

Come on FW, pull your fingers out!!
Great looking Chimera (and board tile!) was it difficult to put the gun on the back like that?
I think I prefer it like that!

Sisters release looks good to.
