Stormtalon Assault Cannon Conversion

Here's some pics of the new Stromtalon I just assembled... and converted the assault cannon from the one it came with to the Ravenwing one. The one it comes with is the same size as the landraider and baal predator one, but I think the landspeeder size is better (they are both skimmers, right?). I'll do a video explaining it soon, but for now here are some pics. This is just to show its possible and fairly easy.

More Skaven Clanrats

I actually painted these guys a while back, but just put together a video about the process and discuss using the new GW paints. Here's some pics with suggested paints at the bottom of the post.

Dark Eldar Venoms WIP

Here's the next thing in my dark eldar list. I base coated these with my airbrush at the same time as the warriors and a bunch of raiders, so the details are all that are really required. Same paint scheme and I haven't added any fancy designs to the body (yet). I hope to do that once I have a full army done and can do that all at once.

Dark Eldar Kabalite Warriors finished

Here's my first finished unit for my dark Eldar army. I took a while to figure out what colors I would use, but I ended up with a standard scheme. I used the painting guide from the new how to paint citadel miniatures, but swapped the green instead of the blue they did.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out and am excited to get a force big enough to play with.

Ork Bommer - New Flyers

Looks like pics from the new white dwarf are hitting the intertubes... found these at dakkadakka, warseer and Faeit 212, so not quite sure where the originated.  I don't collect Necrons, so I don't really care for that one... but I do have marine and ork armies.  It sounds like the stormtalon is only for vanilla marines, so I'm not sure if it affects me, but the pictures don't do it justice. I felt the same way about the stormraven, so I'm hoping it looks better in person.

As for the Ork ones... I love them, and will be picking one up for sure.  The one thing though, is that they seem to be totally anti-infantry. Orks really lack some serious anti-tank options in the list and I don't think these fill that hole.  The other concern is how these fit into the list... are they fast attack, elite or heavy support?  Do they come in squadrons?  Can I combine them with deff koptas (I hope so).  I guess we'll see when I get my hands on the new white dwarf.

Quick Snotling Bases

Here are some snotlings I painted up quickly on the weekend. I wanted to get a bunch of bases done up so that I can use them as charge redirectors. They started with a green spray then I painted the bases Scorched brown. From there the snotlings were painted Skarsnik green and washed with thraka wash. The cloth was painted Rakarth Flesh, wood steel legion Drab and Metal was Leadbelcher. All those got an Agrax Earthshade wash. A little Terminatus stone drybrush on the bases and static grass and these guys were done.

Space Wolf Standard Finished

Here's my Space Wolf Grey Hunter Wolf Standard all done. I used all new GW paints, mostly in the triad form (base, layer, layer) with a shade, but some areas were mixed up a little to get different tones. I basically followed the painting guide from the White dwarf, but the naming of the paints makes it pretty obvious.
