Mate - I have a spare new style D/strike Misisle if you want to stick it on the old style launch vehicle.
Lemme know and I'll add it to your growing pile!

" 'Nids in the Wire ! Blow the Claymores !" Aussies send support to Malta to halt Tyranid infestation ... Heard about it on CNN ... However, the 'Nids are described as poor and deprived and force to violence by the Human Occupation ...

Well,L-4s Claymore went off, and unearthed these beasties - not quite the expected Nids...

With all the termites accounted for, a mole was dug up...

You're right, it is an infestation of termites!  Nice looking minis, Van.

No Hellbore yet - the digger is ready; the transport is not.
You've seen the twins to these guys - the Goliath and tha Land Waster - before; these are the second - and last - of each type. The Baneblade was kindly sent free by an ebayer I bought some titans from.

The 'Blade was painted a nice shade of blue - and I didn't have the heart to change the colour. So I added the pale stripe on the lower edges, washed and drybrushed, added some paint damage, drilled the larger barrels - and now have to come up with an excuse for a blue tank in a green or sand army... a Commissariat tank, perhaps?

And these come from the very first Epic (or GW, come to think of it) blister I ever bought - three knights Lancer - the third had been finished off some months ago, and is currently in the painted model storage are. I like to think of the tall black one as another Commissariat vehicle.
And for today - that's all folks! Not bad for a day of flu - 18 models finished off.

Wow, thanks for all the pics, Van. I really like those old AT era knights. I'm impressed - 18 models finished in one day. Perhaps you should get the flu more often!
