That was what I was thinking you would do, and is such an good looking choice it's a wonder that GW didn't go with it in the first place.  I mean, it's not like there isn't precedent for it in STC or anything.  :D  Good choice with the DWC Cyclone, fits better with the Centurion chassis.

Cheeky at work update :ph34r.:

DSS7: Excellent, I plan on doing just that!

Rift Blade: I feel your pain brother, use the Puppy Dex myself, but we are allowed to ally.....

Chromezephyr: Cheers fella! Yeah you have to wonder! Have to be honest the DWK cyclone was a happty accident, was the cheapest I could fine on Ebay!

Brother Excedis: Go for it chap!

jpwyrm: Again have at it!

re the hands I have actually used terminator powerfists, they have just been fitted in place of the original mittens which, I agree, are rubbish.

So finished the build, needs some tidying but here he is:

Brother Grim bought his assault cannon through compare your chain-gat, and now he feels epic.

Good evening all!

Gaurdian31: I do believe that is my first :jawdrop: for which many thanks!

Redneckboss: I owed it to you, you make me want to buy plague bearers! Glad you like the yellow stripes, they are currently intended to signify those squads that are transported in Stormeagles or other airborne machinations, so i ruthlessly took inspiration from the air cav, also echoed in the new cockpit stripe on the flyers....but i like it so much that i may use it more...oh well!

Pearson73: Cheers chap!

One-eye: High praise indeed brother, really far too kind!

Bio: Cheers Fella!

Kierdale: Cheers mate, really must comment on your guard which are just smashing!

Batu: Greatly appreciated as ever brother!

Switched to some painting over the last couple of days, first up the Thunder Talon:

Still very clean...

But that stripe also lead me to redoing the Habicht/Storm Eagle

Stil have to re-weather the nose but much better than the all yellow as before!

Cheers all!

Agree with the consensus, nose stripes on aircraft are awesome and that centurion is magnificent. It's striking how much larger it looks with a back mounted missle rack and a regular power armour head (one of my favourite helmets at that).

Cheers fellas,

 

Yeah he is a big boy, will try and take a shot of him beside a terminator to give a sense of scale!

 

Will swing an update through later but have spent most of my time on the paintwork for the Storm Bolt, the exhausts had a merry 2hrs spent on them last night, now need to get around to the rest!

 

Also will finish various bits and bobs on the Habicht which I seemingly failed to at the same time.

 

Cheers all!

Good evening brethren!

Oh distractions distractions.....

So figured in order to up my painting output I needed a hard deadline so imagine the scene in the local GW.

"What better than armies on parade?" says he.

"Sure!, sign me up! When is it again?" says I.

"October 25th."

"What, this year?"

"Yup."

"Oh."

So we spent the weekend shopping for fun board stuff!

Basically looking at an armoured column and mech inf clearing a ruined city with tactical air support acting under fighter cover.

SO only have 3 vehicles to paint, thankfully interiors already done, 12 marines, 1 standard bearer 2 centurions (still need to build one and oh yea, build and paint the board.

No pressure.

SO with this in mind i decided that the best use of my time was more of it spent on the Thunder Talon.

gallery_42238_5618_85674.jpg

We need a pilot. and weathering, but otherwise done.

Bit more interesting underneath:

gallery_42238_5618_56038.jpg

Again, more weathering needed but loving the general look, quasi realistic, might actually fly, all be it briefly!

Those sentinel Hunter Killer missiles are brilliant!

gallery_42238_5618_51453.jpg

And am loving the effect on these bad boys!

gallery_42238_5618_61504.jpg

Please do ignore the plastic dust, thankfully just brushed off!

That is all for tonight, much more, probably most nights if we have a chance to make the 25th!

Cheers all!

Bio: I know, slowly panicking, but SWMBO has amazingly granted me a 2 week hiatus on doing anything other than paint toy soldiers!

Argent: We can but hope!

Daemonclaw: Cheers fella, appreciated, andthe smooth paint is a bit of an illusion, totally ruined the bottom of that bird, nearly had to strip the damn thing back to the plastic!

In progress news, Squad 1 finished

Also as you can see in part, the basics of the board completed.

Next phase will be fillering and rubble-ing the board and then making it black so I can paint it. And it wont stop raining so no spray. Ho Hum.

Think I will take a break from Infantr and get the vehicles up to metals, grey sploges, and hexes.

Any suggestions always welcome, especailly re the board and how to make roads look like roads rather than black rivers!

Cheers all!
