Taking the paint a little further.

I'd echo Ephers comments, looks like you are off to a solid start. Ebay is such a lottery I got two raiders for my Dark Eldar from there and well one was so badly assembled and covered in gluey finger prints I just gave up and chopped it up for terrain! So the big question is whats next?

Well there's quite a lot that was on here before, I have a full demi company, most of which I have posted now, and then there's a bit of armour, a load of ravenwing and 4 squads of deathwing plus numerous character models. Right now I'm adding the finishing touches to a whirlwind. I may post some more today if I get time.

Some more veterans that I usually deploy as a command squad in a drop pod for when you absolutely HAVE to kill that tank on the enemy back line and then survive the following turns inevitable incoming fire...

Ok, final post for the boys in green, at least so far, I have a few other things in the pipeline, but for now here's the heavier side of my Dark Angels...

I spotted this guy on eBay, and simply had to buy him, he often raises many laughs from my gaming circle, but he's pretty bad ass...

Another eBay find, this has magnetised weapons, but I've lost his heavy bolters, so here it is with all Las...

One of the few greenwing units I actually bought brand new, after getting sick of getting hit by pie plates from my opponents Iron Hands. Fight fire with fire, as they say...

Again, this guy resulted from repeated defeats by Iron Hands. He doesn't get used much, but he was great fun to convert...

Sure, I'll sort one out over the weekend. That's my 3rd company almost done.  Got a third tactical squad to finish highlighting, then i'll post a full demi company and armoured support shot. Then I'll start posting my Ravenwing and Deathing... Then it's onto my .... other projects...

Not to be the voice of dissension but (ah, the word that turns apologies and flattery asunder-"but") I'm sick of the loading speeds for the pictures. Here I am trying to look at some cool models and slowness cometh. Come to think of it, that would be a neat name for a band. "And here they are, people: Slowness Cometh!"

Keep it up thumbsup.gif!

Well, I'm actually in a band, and we needed a title for a new song we're working on, and thanks to you I now have one!

Latest tank to add to the motor pool. Got two of these off ebay about a month back, the other one goes with my other marine army, this one is finished except for the name on the scroll at the front, but I haven't thought of one yet...

Very impressive! I see you've done the Command Squad using Vet box and have a cloak on your Apothecary. Exactly what I want to do and totally stealing the idea. tongue.png

I don't know what it is about my apothecary, maybe it's his pose, but I really like him.

Anyway, on with some guys in black. First, a Sarg...

Looking good. I especially like the robes on your sarge and the gold raven heads on the banner poles is a really nice touch.. One small thing have you considered drilling the barrels out? In my opinion it's one of those things that turns good in to great.

Yeah, drilling bolter barrels is something I do on every new model, but many of my older one haven't been done. Most of the ones I've posted here without drilled barrels have been drilled since. It does look better.

Slight break from the Ravenwing today. Most of these pictures I'm posting are of models that have been painted for some time, or that have just received some final finishing touches. But the next two units are my latest complete, from basecoat, jobs.

First half of my third Tactical squad, some of these guys are made out of spare parts from my bits box, hence the somewhat unusual poses and arms...

Bit of a break over, been working on a side project for a couple of months (playing too many video games), but here's the latest additions to the veteran ranks, a trio of grav gunners for some command squad variation.

And quite simply because I had some spare parts laying around, I made this guy who I used in one game as a Company Master with Foe Smiter.

Now just an assault squad a few drop pods to go before I have a full battle company.
