I've got a big -- and I do mean 'BIG' -- 40K thing looming on the horizon, and I find that all of a sudden I really want to finish off painting some of the final bits and bobs for the Cadian 24th. In this case, I figured it's time - as part of the 6MMRPC - to acually construct and paint the remaining troops of my Stormtrooper platoon.
By 'Stormtrooper' I do of course mean 'Militarum Tempestus'.

Bugger.
Still - my second job finished about 20 minutes ago...so I'm now going to be a lot more free! Weeee!
- D.
When I sold those minis, I was disappointed in what they went for (this was prior to the Scions codex), even though most were painted well. I'd say keep em and a select few vehicles when you auction off the rest. That'll give you a small force to field when the 40k urge randomly hits you.
ReplyDeleteA tip worth considering, thanks!
DeleteI haven't seen first gen stormtroopers for a long time. Maybe you can squeek in a red shirt into one of your units.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the faces.....eyes are looking right (which should be considered big praise indeed).
Great idea with the redshirt - thanks!
DeleteOh, and the faces on these sculpts are TERRIBLE, aren't they?! Still, gotta love 'em!
BTW: your boyz are totally going to get some action in this game too...
Sorry, daveb: that 'boyz' comment was meant for Da Masta Cheef. Also, I should point out that those finished pics are not new! (sadly they're from years ago).
Deletelol!
DeleteLooking good Drax! I love the idea of the red shirt too...watch him always survive. :)
ReplyDeleteCommendable Drax, but I need my sleep.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen some 40K around these parts in ages! :)
ReplyDeleteElites are always more fun anyhow.
I remember when these guys first came out. Still love them. A whole platoon of them will be a sight to behold! We are going to need them Drax...
ReplyDeleteHaha, some nice slug-balancing going on there! Great job on the facial detail, really looks good.
