Come to think of it.. I do remember getting really trashed on ale and swinging the 'Stick.. Hope I didn't hurt the poor fella.

And, another bit to Ides.. You used the GW method for those sigils and such on his armor, yes?

studs are basically the GW method. Take the standard spikey rack from the chaos vehicle sprue, or a standard pole if you have them to spare, and cut the cylindrical parts into 1-2 mm lengths, and glue those to the plating. ones I used came out a little large so I'll try the PVA method next time.

Runes and such are GW method. Dark angels green, highlight with snot green, highlight again with scorpion green. I need Ice blue to finish of the leering faces...

Woah! Awesome! I assume the Bolter he's holding will be counted as a Bolt Pistol... because he's so huge... HUGE...

It's a nice effect. The cloak looks cool, too!

at the moment I'm playing them as obliterators so it'll count as a lot of things... but if DC can have it as a regular bolter I'll be damned if he'll upstage me!

preliminary GSing on trooper 4 is finished. need to expand on one or two other things but my main focus now is to get most of my forces painted in time for our local apocalypse game.

edit:

well the torso is the reason for the rest, it being as thick as it is, the legs had to bulk out to fit in, compared to which his ass was rediculously small, though in retrospect I could have just given him a cloak/other loincloth...
