Yeah. He's done worst things before, too. None of my other three cats have caused problems, but this one--his real name is Sam, btw--has caused lots of hobby problems.

Worst one yet is one day he got left in there unattended (he was new and rather nervous) and he marked my chair as his own :shock: if you get my meaning.

I'm 99.9% sure my brother is getting me the Cadian Command squad for Christmas, so I'll probably add the Commissar to that squad. 8) I plan on starting an IG army. :)

My spare time for today will be taken up by TKD, and tomorrow I'll be out of town, but I'll probably strip him this weekend. :)

Sad to hear that, he was looking really good!

Well, I can't wait to see how you paint him a second time round and how you paint the Warg Riders. And it's cool you're starting a proper Imperial Guard Army, I look forward to seeing more pics of that in the New Year! 8)

A friend of mine came over today, with a CAMERA, so I thought I'd show you a base I worked on over the course of this afternoon.

I plan on using this as the base for my Cadian Command Squad Special Weapons trooper.

On another note, I decided to name all of my troopers. Lt. Grayton, Private McNeil, etc. So I typed out names in size 6 font, cut 'em out and glued 'em to the bottom of the bases. I have 4 other bases for the rest of the squad, I'll try and get some pics up soon. My friend only let me borrow the camera, but I happened to see an invoice for a camera off Ebay in my inbox today :D

Without further delay, here's the base, for your criticism:

Other than some touch-up painting, it's finished. I'm quite proud of this base, and spent roughly 3 hours on it all told, what with getting the wires the right length etc. Just in case you, like my brother, don't know what the "black-and-red tube-things" are, they're bits of protruding electrical wire, made from...erm....electrical wire. :)

C&C welcome. :-D


EDIT: Just saw that the top wire is off, I'll fix that. :)

Good luck painting those Templars. The Hard edging is a bit more difficult to pull of than on Space Wolves.

However, considering your painting prowess you shouldn't struggle too much.

Enjoy!

Got the box yesterday. That thing was almost 3 feet long and weighed ten or fifteen pounds. I've got 2x Ravenwing Battleforces, 2x Ironclad Dreadnoughts, 2x Tactical Marine Squads, a Techmarine and more to do.

I've managed to keep my greedy hands off of the boxes. All of them are still shrinkwrapped except the first Ravenwing Battleforce, which I started on.

Here's the first two bikers, WIP. Both are in need of clean-up and metalwork.

Apologies for the dark pic, I'll get a better one next time.

Update: I've finished most of the first Rhino. You detail-seeking people may notice the considerable gap between the plates in the front. There was a casting problem so that it wouldn't lie flat, I'm just glad its unnoticeable at range.

Nice weathering on the Rhino. All black anything can be hard to paint well. That one looks good.

The Rhino looks good. I'll be posting painted Black Templars in my WiP soon so feel free to take a look.

Looks very good. The Rhino has very good metal effects on it.

One question. I know this is a commision but, why do the Marines have Chaos backpacks. Oh (looking through the Black Templars Codex), and Black Templars can't have Ironclad Dreadnoughts.

Commissioner wanted them to represent a legion that was not quite loyal to Chaos, but wasn't just working for the Imperium either. They aren't really called Black Templars, that's just the scheme he wanted them in :)

Ahhh, that explains it. Once I've finished my 1500 (or 2000) point Tyranid army I was thinking about a similar Idea for The Falllen, Dark Angel Veteran Marines painted with black power armour and grey cloth (as per the "Unknown" legion in the Chaos Space Marine Codex). I'm then going to use Cypher as my leader and give 10 Veterans metal Fallen backpacks.

First plasma gunner. Just needs clean-up and some more work on the shoulder pads.

Is that OSL I see? I love that effect and have been practicing with a green glow from a Plasma Gun. He looks good, especially the hard edging and the OSL.

Yeah, he looks pretty good but the pic's a bit small, next time could you crop away the extra space Josh so we can see the miniature more clearly?
