Coming along nicely, you'll be ready to move on to the next Guard models soon...

[elmo]

That's the plan ;)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Chimeras are well-painted and detailed. I applaud your efforts.

[elmo]

Finally finished the 4 Chimeras I have been working on for the last 6 weeks or so...so unashamed photodump to follow

Hull nos. 154, 165, 173 and 145

Plus alternative Hydra turret option...

All weapon options are magnetised

Lovely work as always, and all the more so that there's four :D The weathering really makes them pop as completed models :)

The Aquila on the dozer blade is a really nice touch! :tu:

[Hiroitchi]

very nice man. love it. I like the attention to details the most of it.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Fine works.

[Etheneus]

Love them all. I didn't know chimeras could use autocannons? Can they? Forge World variant?

Yup . Forgeword rules

Been quietly pottering around in the painting corner concentrating on my other armies but popped back to do a quick model for my Guard force - a Rogue Pysker which I have just been informed is actually a Dark Eldar Medusae but nevermind...

It was a quick one evenings effort in between waiting for washes to dry on 2 DA predators.

Last week I decided to catch up on some terrain from Conquest so started doing some of the pipes and walls - went blue for the contrast.

First section done less weathering.

The plan is that once they are all done I will be basing them on a tile to use on my table setup - but that is far in the future at the moment.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Beautiful work on the pipeline. Is it part of a sewer system, or will the pipes be used for promethium (oil, other fossil fuels)?

[elmo]

Thanks.

 

Not sure yet - I have the Sector Mechanicus Akhomite Stack to do too, so I will probably tie them together along with some chemical tanks from old cans at some point in the future.

[elmo]

Another set of pipes done less weathering...

Still got the power packs to do...

[elmo]

Taking another stab at Armies on Parade again this year...

Wish me luck and good luck to anyone else taking part

[ST.Lazarus]

Aw some looking force.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Fine works.

[Etheneus]

Awesome!

[elmo]

Been a while but dusted off a model I bought 4 years ago and slapped some paint on it...

A new Commissar

- The Emperor Protects... and if you falter in your duty - I exact the punishment! -

Also did a quick video of a partial 711th CCAB Command Group - link here

This may mean that there will be a few more members of the 711th painted soon - Would you like to know more??

[WarriorFish]

Like the green on him, as we know a commissar's work is never done...

A wild Elmo appeared! :o

 

Really like the sword colours
