The Command Squad's Land Raider. The squad itself is still unbuilt.

Some really awesome stuff here mate. Have you thought about setting up a light box arrangement for taking photos? I can't help but feel that we're missing out on some detail, particularly on the distant vehicle shots. I especially like the look of the EC rhino and its markings on the previous page.

[Sigismund's Ghost]

I checked out light boxes on Google, it doesn't look like it's too difficult to throw one together. I'll have to give it a shot.

Still struggling with the light box, some close ups with direct lighting:

Really nice III^rd Legion dude! I love the clean colours and exact paint job. Looking forward to seeing some more

The completed Jetbike squad. The special weapon bike has been magnatized. If anyone is planning on building these, I would suggest pinning the bikes. There is a good spot where the handlebars will be mounted that secures the front and middle sections. In securing the back and middle sections, I drilled up at a 45 from the recess where the exhaust will be placed. I need to get another bike for this squad's leader, I am planning on a Primus Medicae with a thunder hammer.

I love those bikes! and the industrial feel of those iron hands is awesome! Only criticism of any of it would be I would just like to see some really mild weathering on that nice dark gray say just some dust up the legs and up the sides of the tanks I think would really add to the feel....
 

[slipknotzim]

those bikers look great, the only thing i would say as a critique, when I see jet bikes(especially EC) I think elite units of skilled riders, and these guys look like tactical marines who stole the bikes and ran off with them :) they look good but they don’t look elite, so for me I would want to see some kind of contrast color or markings on the bike/rider a strip or a pop color, maybe 1 white shoulder pad or something just to pop them out from all of that purple. Otherwise thou it looks  real good and I like it a lot, I love the elite guys with the spears too the use of white is perfect there to give them an elite feel

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Cretheus, I did entertain hitting the Iron Hands with some weathering powder, but getting the black the way I liked it was such a pain, I just didn't want to cover it up. Slipknotzim, your post is quite the eye chart! Keep your eyes open, once FW delivers the last Jetbike the Primus Medicae will be sporting the bling.

Wow amazing work!

[Sigismund's Ghost]

Here is my latest squad off the work bench, bare bones tactical with bolters swapped for chainswords. They will be riding in a Deimos Pattern Rhino once the mailman brings it.

This is a little off topic, but I painted this up while I was waiting for my next Forgeworld package.

Here is my Primus Medicae on his Jetbike. I used some Dark Angel's Ravenwing bits for his apothecary kit.
