So now have spare hellhounds. No one wanted to buy them; so I turned 3x of them into Devil Dogs and two of them into Salamanders/Chimeras. I just a few touch ups and purchasing another set of infantry to fill out those salamanders/chimeras and then those parts of my collection will be complete.

Your collection and work ethic are amazing. The plasma color on those sentinels is rad — so bright and dangerous-looking!

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I can’t wait for I see what 2023 has in store for me and my collection. It’ll be awesome to see new heavy weapons teams, and the Lord solar, Rogal Dorn tanks, and what other new scuplts. 
 

i have 60 more infantry models from Cadia stands and I’ll go from there.

[Tallarn Commander]

I love the weathering on your sentinels!

I appreciate that. For now they are done and finished.  
 

I’m have moved to the Field ordnance batteries.

I can’t wait to finish them. I had my youngest help me by putting tufts where she wanted them, but I told her don’t make patterns and don’t use too much in one place. I gave her reference pictures. This is a way for me to still make progress. Lol.

 

 

 

 

 

[Hiroitchi]

Let’s have a change of pace from painting. Did some hobbying and further modified my custom Chimeras; I made a master of Ordanance and a Fleet Officer.

 

 

 

[Hiroitchi]

Finished my Field Ordnance Battery; Master of Ordnance and the Officer of the Fleet is complete.

Yeah my LVT counts as Taurox/Chimera/Salamander kitbash conversion has taken a life of its own. I think it looks great this way.

 

 

 

[Hiroitchi]

Finished the LVTs. My counts as Taurox/Salamander/ Chimera conversion. Pretty stoked how they turned out.

 

 

[Hiroitchi]

Having fun painting multicam but it’s so tedious. I’m glad I’m down to the last 20 infantry models out of 60 infantry models, till I get more down the road when the new stuff releases. 

[Hiroitchi]

Trying something out with the last squad of the batch to paint. Call of Duty inspired.

 

[Hiroitchi]

I do believe that these models are done and finished for now. Loved the project and painting multicam has been quite the learning experience. Overall I am especially proud how it came together.

 

 

 

[Hiroitchi]

Wow talk about going back to where I started. Rebasing 30x Kasrkins and repainting them to match the collection.

 

 

 

Left to Right: Foxtrot Two November, Bullpen Two-Three, Liberty One-One.

pretty stoked on how they are coming together.

[Hiroitchi]

Making some headway. And progress, even tried to paint faces and eyes.
