That vulture looks awesome, the red cockpit is really striking. Thanks Nutty. The striking Red and those Punnisher cannons, make it look mean. I could have magnitized them in and swap them with the rocket pods but after thinking about it, I’d never get board of the Punnishers.

Great conversion of the new GC bike!
Are you painting all the bikes red to match Vostroyan colours?
And what are you making with the buggy?

That is badass!!
Nicely done, seemless and fun conversion.
More, more, more!

Cool! Amazing what a difference a headswap and some paint can do.

Thank you Gents. @chem: I based the motorcycle off of my Ducati that I own to begin with and then realised these colours fit the Vostroyan's quite well, so I decided to add the brass colours. I think I will stick with this colour but every bike will have changes to it. The Quad will be the same colour as the tanks in my army, I'm stealing the idea from Reds to run them as a Sentinal, so I have magnitized the weapon to swap Lascannon and auto-cannon. @jud: Oh there will be more, I'm working hard so hopefully my flamers will be up this week. nutty: An easy swap out but I think it works well, thankfully it doesn't take much to make them look like Guard.

First flamer. Do you think I should shorten the flamer down a little? I was thinking of removing a section to make look better. For the flamer I decided to add a canister, like in Red Faction (I miss that game) instead of hoeses.

Looks good, but I agree with you that it would look even better with a slightly shorter flamer. At the moment it looks a little front heavy. Was it made using a shotgun?
I find the idea of a sawn off flamer very pleasing!

It'd probably look m more balanced if you shorten the flamer a bit.
Alternatively there are somr relatively small flamers in the 'centurion devastator' kit, it's the marine/catachan model, but slightly smaller. A buddy gave me some of the meltas from that kit back in 7th and the scale looks pretty good on (cadian) guardsmen. But it might be a pain trying to track those down.

I used the Grenade Launcher from the kit and a cadian Flamer, I thought the butt of the gun would make it easier to fire a flamer on the move.
I know where I can shorten the flamer, so hopefully it won't look too ridiculous as it does now.
It's a shame that I've just started work as I really want to go home and modify.

The new flamer design looks great; much more practical.
Good luck packing everything up, where are you moving to?

Good luck with the move, hopefully it won't take too long for you to get your modelling area set up!

Good luck with the move, hopefully it won't take too long for you to get your modelling area set up! 29th of March is the move date, I have to pack everything now because work are sending me to Korea, so it's a tight schedule ahead. I've just bought a Trojan support Vehicle and it's looking at me with a sad face, I just wnat to build it.

Bloody hell! You are on a tight schedule.
I know what you mean, getting new stuff is always a great way to get the creative juices flowing!
Are you on a James Bond style espionage trip to blow up the Korean leader’s collection of high performance cars?

A tight schedule indeed, I'm assuming it'd be the most southern of the two koreas though.. if not you might want factor in some extra time just in case you are detained for an unspecified ammount of time.

@jud: That's why we are packing now so that it won't be a rush when I'm back. I'm going to say Yes and hope you believe me... sadly it will be many meetings with my Boss and other managers. @ Nutty: Yes South Korea, I believe the North is closed for business at this moment in time.

I've been very busy with work at the moment and moving house but there are some good things in the pipeline, so sit tight. Sadly this is my current WIP and the surprise I was talking about Jud haha. I will be back with a completed squad of Bikers and the Quad Sentinal.

Lol!! Completely threw me on that one! Looks good, you settling in well?
Looking forward to the complete squad, the bikers you’ve done so far are great.

It's been hard work but I'm enjoying it, finally feels like our home and not someone elses.
This kind of painting drives me up the wall, bring on the war minature painting! You won't have to wait long, this weekend I'll be at my new desk finishing off those bikers.

I'm a bit let down by the mystery project.. but glad to hear you are liking your new place.

Yeah, painting walls (especially gloss) can be really boring but it feels good once you’ve put your personal stamp on it!
Must admit I thought the secret project would be the Gorgon you wanted!
Looking forward to seeing the bikers.
