drop troop conversions

[newcomer]

since noone else but me plays drop troops at my center, i need the good ppl of this board to tell me what they think of these conversions, and the colour scheme, lots a pics BTW, so bear with me

the regular troops. special weapons troops have a different colour shoulder badge, if you were wondering







The eggs with legs (sentinels)



Some of the vets




their SGTs, all converted from classics



well thats it for now, i need reviews on the colour scheme. the division comes from calth, a cavern world with a blue sun.

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

beautiful conversions!

[telecustom]

I like the masks.

might want to close up that final sentinel. i couldnt possibly imagine the wind force that would hit that pilot if your deepstriking

[newcomer]

some pics of a bren gun carrier that counts as a chimera





pics of my modified bassie, which i have affectionately nicknamed "stubby"

[chromepip]

I like the Bren Gun Carrier, it kind of reminds me of the Dragon, a Commonwealth open topped flame tank. Looked a lot like that.

Stubby is gonna lay down the law with his mop n' glow shells of imperial fury!

ive just been hit by inspiration and quite a bit of hobby insanity. you wont guess where it came from. while hanging a painting on the wall, some odd chance snapped the string and dropped the painting on my head. then i got the idea for these things.





i found this little model at a local indy retailer.

and last, but most certaily not least...the tank with no name (id appreciate some suggestions)




i got this oldie from an old friend phasing out older models

[Sappmer]

you are soo awsome, I love your lasguns, look a bit like carbines. It looks like you have taken your time and effort on, well, everything. Can't wait for more.

Dude
liking the actual conversions, but i think maybe the paint's a lil bit too . . . thick?
I dunno just something about it that sticks out. .

Anyways mate, well done for the conversions

[newcomer]

the paint does seem thick, but its just an optical illisuion

[Deleted]

Hehe that heavy bolter thing looks cute. I was just thinkinh the same about the paint, do you water down your paints? Or do you use a lot of washes and inks, coz that might be why the paint looks so thick.

[newcomer]

i just use moridan blue for the armour basecoat and calthan brown for the fatique basecoat, and flesh wash\brown ink for the leather parts, PLEASE NOTE the painted mini was a test run

[thelonelywolf]

Ok that's cool.
I think we all agree the models are great, and that maybe the paints need to be watered down or something?
Again, well done to you.
I give a good ol' 9/10

[newcomer]

wow, never expected ppl to love the test mini hahaha

[newcomer]

here are more pics of my hardened veteran sgts, rough rider conversion #1, a griffon conversion, and hvy bolter conversion

The rough rider

[newcomer]

regular gsmen

awesome FlakVierling....Tamiya im guessing?.....those make excellent twin-lined heavy stubber ack-acks....forgot with imperial armour theyre in....but theyre ok points wise

[Ymmot (M.I.A)]

great poses, I like what you did with the guy with the granade launcher, also the gun platforms, just add two guardsmen and you got an insto heavy weapon and crew! I may have to do that myself.

[newcomer]

yeah, i made em outa wheels from any tank spruce and the body was clipped of chimera side skirts from my tetrarch conversion, and the flackvierling will count as quad stuffer in apoc

[Deleted]

I like the choice of colours, blues and browns and greys would make them extremely hard to spot at night. But they need to be painted with a little more care in my opinion it looks very slap dash.

[newcomer]

yeah, but these were the test minis, not the final products, lotsa things were updated since these guys

[Commissar]

Your airborne make me feel warm and fuzzy inside...

[inquisitor0sylver]

very nice job on these, I like the masks you put on them and the las-carbines on the ones at the top.

[Sappmer]

do they mainly operate in dark? If they do then they can stay blue. If they dont, well, Mordians do wear their blues in daytime so why can't you?

(hehe it rhymes)
