So finally back at the game, just moved into a new house, new job and back to school of all things but got these two guys ready for paint with more on the assembly line for a latter date.

Hopefully I will have some more time to finish up a lot of conversions for my light infantry, and get some flyers onto the paint table sooner rather than later.

Work progresses slowly but its happening which make me relatively happy. Another 10 troops ready for paint with 6 snipers and a coy command squad ready to have gear sculpted.

I'm not to sure if I will wait to paint and keep on sculpting just to have a bunch of stuff ready or just get to painting. Either way I still have the two Tauros' that still need to be painted as well.

Thanks for the comments, I do intend on getting more of the sculpting finished just so I have more than 10 minis to paint. And I also need to start working on a master in order to start molding these guys as they do take quite a bit of time before even getting the first layer of paint going.

Hopefully the next batch will be finished by next week or so.

So the all the molle has been finished off, which in my opinion is the most annoying part of the vests. Hope to have the base layer of pouches on all 9 of these guys by end of play tonight. The snipers will have fewer things on there rigs as I guess they should be able to crawl around more, but I will be trying to come up with something like rucksacs for them, as they would have to be able to live off there own things for days at a time behind enemy lines.

I hope to get these guys 90% finished by the end of the week as I am away again and wont be able to work on them for a little while.

Let me know what you think.

love the sniper teams, Im a sucker for Elysians and adding more of a modern military feel to them just takes it even more in the right direction. Those anvil industry weapons and accessories are so good hey? Im using the reflex scopes on my scions and I bought that sniper rifle too but am yet to find a use for it.

long barrel looks awesome, but i've got a feeling that it's not too compact as standard elysian sniper lasguns... airborne troops, as less weight as possible... ya know... but i'm just a meticulous perisher... still looks awesome anyway

If the barrel, optics and stock detatches and the components carried between 2 people it wouldn't be too bad, surely.  I have a sniper/spotter team with a huge sniper rifle that I count as a lascannon team.  Anti materiel rifles are so cool.

So back again from another training ex with work, and happy to be on holidays. Which is great as it lets me get back to work on my unloved Elysians. Finally got the sculpting and conversion work done on my sniper teams, so they are ready for paint whenever I have enough finished so that it doesn't just feel like I'm back to sculpting again. Then there is the Coy command squad, they are just about ready, just need to get the back packs sculpted up then they can enter the painting que as well, I really need to get on the ball and just start casting these guys to speed things up a little.
 
On a side note I may be changing the paint scheme for my regular jump troops, about 80% sure that its going to happen, ill post pictures of the test model later to get a vote from the barracks and see what you all have to say on the idea.
 
Here are the sniper dets that are ready for paint.

I don't normally pin these guys but as I will be doing something different with there bases to add to the cam and concealment aspect that comes with being a sniper, it was a necessary evil. Oh right they will also be getting ghillie suits once there painted much like my sentinel.

@Shamansky - I agree that the long barrel isn't really the best choice for a jump unit but a. like you said it looks awesome and I couldn't pass it up and b. Sometimes you just need a bigger gun.

C&C always welcome

This are going slow right now but I hope to get the ball rolling a little faster once I can get started on the pin wash and weathering. Still need to add some transfers and some nose art for this plane.
I am also not to sure if I want to darken up the tan or leave it as is, mind you it will darken with the varnish and weathering, and now I'm rambling, I really need to go to bed.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on the matter, it would be appreciated.

I'm watching this with great interest! Your skills are wonderful and I hope to one day match them. Next month i am hoping to treat myself to my first flyer so this is a great inspiration. May the Emperor protect and bless the 121st.

And some pictures of the newest squad, I changed up the cam pattern from what I was using before and the colors, I think I like this more so will need to repaint all my other Elysians again, oh well.
