I like the camo stripes - it both makes it look more like an actual piece of military machinery rather than a model/toy, and helps tie it in with the rest of your force.  Good call to add it.

That the point I'd add them. I'd put all gang together and sentinel looks like he is from other game. Now it's looks more consistent.

Build Armored sentinel today. Really like this model.

Thx, I really love sentinels models, a new one and old too. Plan to build 6 of each kind.

 

This is why I build old sentinels as scouts and new one as armour. 

Old looks very fragile and light compared to new model.

 

Also ignore horse. It's from our lord-commander's herd.

I think it looks quite cool, though I guess what it depends on if it matches the look in your head  you could just say that it's a battlefield modification, done in between encounters with the enemy so looks more haphazard.

[kabaakaba]

Thanks, it's comes a bit to big but I'm fine with it. Gonna make smaller for next one.

At least my chainsaw looks like it can be used in combat compare to one from original kit which is really short.

So I'm not dead. Quite the opposite, I have lot of hobby time those last few weeks. It's so amazing reopen my your favorite faction. Basically I played and building IG for my whole conscious life. When I leave hobby in the middle of 7th I also leave old models with it. And now I build my whole 1500 point army In one go and that's was amazing. All this new (at least for me) models are amazing. Every one model I build was new for me(except for some old metal HQ) new cadians was a shock for me, good quality and really reach details. HWT is amazing kit with lots of options and details

 FOB is another gem. Really like how it's looks and how easily it's builds  except for the rocket launcher which fries the shooter to medium readiness with the first salvo And there is a lot of spare bits. Virtually with some plasticard and spare body I can make another 3 units of fob. Kasrkins kill team is another great kit. And new HQ Is magnificent piece of plastic. I never will stop admiring the Valkyrie kit. It's old. It's virtually useless on table but common it's best flyer I know. Gonna get me 2 more later. And finally my favorites The Sentinels. I like walkers. And this guys my preciouse units. Really like new one. Astonishing amount of bits. Nice looking amazing detailing. And old one as always good. I'm enriched them with bits from new kit. Have a plan to build 12 of them old and new.

 

In the end I spend all my hobby to build my 1500 army. It's done.  All minis are assembled or sub assembled (like Valkyrie and old scout sentinel) Next is add physical Battle damage and drill all that barrels, also cure all the gaps(because all this is resine) before I prime all models and start painting.

I thought about vow in CtA but even The God-Emperor don't know if I have some hobby time next day, don't talk about a week or month period. So I just gonna paint them if I have time.

Nice array of minis there to keep you going 

[kabaakaba]

Ahahahahahahahahaha...

Oookey. I drilled ALL barrels and made basing for all minis. It took almost 4 hours of meditative drill rolling. Just need a sanity check now)

Tomorrow after glue on bases were dry I try prime whole gang with rattlecan. 

 

Also started painting Valkyrie inside. To build it up together. I'm forgot how really large she is and how much paint it's sucks. Looks like I need to order another pot or two.

Paint Valkyrie today. In some moment I have a thought like "who cares if it unpainted inside" but His voice in my head said on word "Me" and i have no any questions anymore. Really like the model, I can't stop repeat it. Paint interior and start paint outside. Colours can be seen on Picts.

Also put it together after finish internals. There is a lot of work ahead. All outside hatches, light bulbs, sensors etc. 

 

Also have a dilemma about some armour for my regiment. Do I really need a tanks? Like I hate from bottom of my heart both dorn and russ looks. I'm absolutely fine with chimera and it's derivatives, but Patton and russ make me hate them.

 

Would be glad for your opinion on Valkyrie and tanks respectively.

The internals look great  

[Tallarn Commander]

It's looking very good. If it makes you feel any better the Valkyrie is my only 40K model that I can see the interior of during a game. The open gunner doors plus the model's height mean that your opponent and you will be able to admire the interior.
