looks good. one day i will have an eldar army, and this will be a thing i might have to do aswell...
i'd also highly recommend a product called Blu-Stuff. i've used it to good effect on some of my 40k project

Lovely. Worked out nicely. If only i had similar skills.

I think they look really good - do you have any detail on the bottom? Or is it a one part mold? I've made a lot of 2 part molds using that blue silicone rubber stuff which come out really well. Mixing a fine clay (like Magisculpt) 1:1 with the greenstuff will get you sharper edges too, without a huge loss in flexibility

Nice conversion. However, I have it on reasonably good authority that a board member fond of computer aided design recently purchased a FW Hornet model. just saying.

Yes I saw that, far better than my proxies and very exciting. Still, it gave me the opportunity to play around with press moulding and I'm sure I'll find another use for the skills I picked up.

This weekend I've managed to keep my interests focused in one place to finish off the first few tanks I've been painting and construct a few more. In particular I've been magnetising "Epic & Cool" superheavies, no pics yet but it did lead me to consider how I construct my models and the tools i use, after I simultaneously glued a 2mm magnet to top of my fingernail, cut deeply underneath my nail and then accidentally glued the wound back shut again with more superglue. From now on it's clean desks, forethought and planning.

Additionally I’ve taken a bit of a risk with some Forgeworld stormblades I had painted up in my skitarii colours. I’ve managed to strip them of paint with no discernable negative effects using Fairy power spray. It was brown trousers time whilst I waited to see if I’d dissolved my now OOP (and according to ebay expensive) models but it all came out great.

So finished now is;

my first of four salamander platoons




My first Leman Russ company (Red company). Note the pintle mount on one, the intention is to do this for all at some point.





My first superheavy company of proxy stormhammers



And here's a conversion I was playing with to proxy a demolisher, however the paint scheme really doesn't work and after reviewing Spectar Ghosts minervans I think I'll take a leaf out of his book and just go for black flashes to denote commissars rather than all black tanks.



And everything so far which is a fairly impressive 1250 (ish) points.



Next up MORE TANKS!!!!!

Awesome. Your Demolisher looks better than mine do.

Very nice paint job I really like everything, maybe for the commissar just a black turret? That could look really nice I think.

very nice!

I just started my imp guard with desert yellow spray and then painting on army painter dip and it looked pretty craptacular so back into the acetone for 3 shadowswords

I am going to steal your wash scheme, I hope you dont mind

Very nice work
I think the black one isnt looking too bad
The Buggies are great

The more and more i look at that black tank i like it, i think you should keep it the way it is. Or possibly model the turret open with a commiser sticking his head out.

Lookin' good. I like SG's method of denoting commissar tanks as well, although your demolisher is a beauty in any case. Did you use the khazari raider patrol barrel for the demolisher?

Why is it that every time I see someone else's IG, I like their paint scheme much better than my own?

Good job on that desert yellow - it looks great!

Seeing as I stole it from luca77 feel free



Got me, yep I had it lying around and it seemed to fit the bill,I just filed off some of the rougher bits and added some styrene shocks either side. It looked horrible in bare metal but now it's painted it looks a lot smoother.



I do want to do that but I can't find any on ebay and I'd rather not give GW the satisfaction of buying direct. Anybody with some spare, I'd be happy to pay?

Thanks everybody else for the comments, I've got a long way to go and it really helps. Incidentaly I counted up everything I have to paint and it turns out I have over 50 of the Achilleus MBT hull tanks alone without counting the collection of super heavies I seem to have amassed, so I'd best get cracking!

Your post made me realize what your name was supposed to say - how sad is that? I do like it though - reminds me of the names I used to come up with for my Lizardmen Blood Bowl team - stuff like "Tincihuinci" and "Ixti Bixti".
