He is finished!

I really liked this kit. Certainly one of the most fun models that I've painted. I shall certainly be getting another kit. Two asssault cannons and a cyclone missile launcher.

I made a few mistakes with painting this guy so Im looking forward to having another go at some point.

Cheers!

I've done some work on the second tactical squad and my forgeworld order or gunz has arrived.



I added a new squad member using the Forgeworld MK5 kit. I still think mine fit in rather well.



I just need the heavy weapon backpacks to complete the squad.

Ive also done some arm replacements on the sternguard and they now have the forge world guns although none of them are gled on yet.





Cheers!

Wow, nice stuff. And I'm really digging the weathering, well done!

[shaw3029]

Cheers Meth!

I played a game yesterday against my mates dark angels it was a close fought game that ended in a draw. A turn more and I would have had won the game.

I've still yet to fire both of the Contemptors heavy flamers...

Cheers!

Shaw, I love your pre-heresy imperial fists. You make me want to pick yellow back up... I can't wait to see the terminators finished.

That contemptor is amazing. You should be proud. The pose is brilliant, it feels heavy and cautious, you have given the model a real sense of 'presence'. The weathering's good, especially the soot on the exhaust vents and damage around the fingers/fists. Brilliant job on the face as well, the highlights are really crisp and the eyes really make it pop.

The Reaper Autocannon is awesome too. Nice thought. Where did you get the piece from (I want to say a Cygnar warjack from Warmachine, but I cant be sure).

The Tactical Squad on the previous page is awesome too. The Maximus head guy and the sergeant jump at me.

[shaw3029]

Cheers guys!

Thornblood.

Thanks very much! Im very happy with the contemptor it took alot of work to get the pose right. I shall be getting another.

The gun is a mix of the space wolves assault cannon and chaos reaper autocannon. I've never been near a warmachine figure.
