Hey all. Some of you may recognise me making a nuisance of myself over in the Adeptus Mechanicus forum. I have a load of Tech Priests coloured green. Orks are my other green, walker heavy army. Since I've got quite a lot of pictures I am not going to flood the "Show me what you've got" page with pictures, I will post a project log of my work so far. My Ork force wasn't painted to as high a standard as my Mechanicus but hopefully people will find what I've made so far interesting. First up is my Warboss. He is painted in the same style as my rank and file, but he gets to embellish some of his wargear since he's in charge. The sandy yellow and blue stripes were inspired by the 2nd edition codex. The grey urban camo in spots is because I'm a glutton for paint-related punishment. I love this model. I'm just a little sad that the belt fed bullets are a bit to fragile for a gaming piece. Next up is my Deff Dread. This is possibly the first of many. I went for a bit of a dramatic scene on the base, it was good fun trying to get the pose how I liked it. I've got a Big Mek here. He was an experiement with GW metallic, I had quite a bit of fun trying out techniques that I have now completely forgotten how to replicate. When I started my Mechanicus army I kept a notebook to describe the ways I painted various effects. I might do that when I get round to my Orks again. A Warboss, because one Warboss isn't enough to start an entertaining squabble. I've got a 10-strong unit of Stormboys, here are the most interesting three. I have more boxes of Stormboys to bolster the unit, but making them match the first batch will prove tricky. Note here that the camo scheme is reversed on the Stormboys, blue with tan stripes.

So while this army is not exactly... new for me, as i have been building it from around mid last year as an idea for a nice fluffy space marine force project with some small conversions included, I wanted to show you guys what I have made, as i have been super inspired by a lot of the Raptors armies I have seen on the forum. Personally, best chapter Everyone loves reasonable marines. The basic plan for my force was to create a Raptors army that looked like it could operate in the field extended periods of time, with equipment.etc. dotted around the force. Found some razorwire and sandbags kits at my local hobby shop and well, down the rabbit hole I went! So, onto pictures. Ill put them in a break below to not be so large on the screen: The beginnings of the fledgling force. Here alongside a friend's stunning Raven Guard army we were about to take part in a Doubles tournament with. Some of my armour I have laying about, including my converted engineering razorback, Whirlwind with retractable rockets and predator with coaxial and auto turret 'sponson bolters' My photos from their most recent games at a tournament and a practice game to warm up. They somehow scored 2nd overall, which is insane considering this army was originally built to be fluffy, concentrating on primarily solid shot and ballistic style weapons! These guys will be heading to the GT as a Gladius force, and another tournament this coming weekend. And the most recent family photo. I need to get all of my boys together someday to take photos, as there is still some missing, such as my lightning claws terminators, other razorback, second speeder... there is a few. Oh and just a bit of a hint what Im working on currently with regards to the GT: Can anyone say Thunderbudgies are go? Current maxed out list is as follows:
