 The pictures don't seem to work... Is it just me?

I can never get them to work either. Any of them.

All of them or later ones?

All of them, so far. All I see are the names of the files...

I think I fixed that problem, tell me if it works, pls :)

[YoungWolf7]

That worked. Nice work! :)

[ranulf the revenant]

Yes, everything works :)

[HorrOwl]

hobby train has no brakes, heh

[Ryltar Thamior]

nice job in particular with the chainsword on the hand-mounting - i'm assuming it's the one holding the shock-stave, de-staffed 

[HorrOwl]

2 Ryltar Thamior:

 

Yes, as well as half of free arms on running models.

Van Saar kit has only one hand with an open arm on the sprue but at least 2 are  needed. 

So you have to cut staff arms from the hands and glue chainsword or free arms (I use Astra Militarum vehicle commanders bits because don\t use them anyway) on  stump.

More troopers.

[HorrOwl]

And now something completely different: a small astropathic choir

Love the astropaths

[HorrOwl]

bringing tanks to a gunfight

Nothing fancy or converted here - just 4 tanks :)

[Gorgoff]

The only thing more beautiful then tanks are more tanks.

Well done.

[HorrOwl]

It is dangerous to go out of the Hive alone!

You should take this:

Finally done with it! :)

The artillery

Missiles are magnetized to keep count of shots. :)

[HorrOwl]

And another 5 with the sergeant

[hushrong]

This is an awesome project! The background for it has translated into some awesome painted minis! I also love the lubricant hauling ogryn as well. Love the use of the knight faceplate for armor.

[HorrOwl]

So, another batch of 5 is done

The ones with a leg on a box seemed especially ...um... 'monopose' so I decided to add some variety by removing boxes and make them standing on skulls

The are 54 of them now, with only 10 is left to be done!

2 hushrong:

Thanks! :)

[Ryltar Thamior]

Nice going with the astropathic choir - I'd had a similar thought around the blindfolded flagellant head but hadn't gotten around to actually doing it ; 

good use of the van saar weapons on them as well for continuity 

[hushrong]

I missed the ‘standing on something’ pose. You made it work! My focus was more drawn on the upper body and their poses and directions they were looking at.

 

And 54 with 10 to go!? That’s an awesome haul of Van Saar goodness!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Good job.

[HorrOwl]

And another batch.

So, only 5 remains to be done. :)

2 Ryltar Thamior:

Thanks!

First I wanted to do them with a Delaque weapons, but they are grossly oversized

2 Hushrong:

I missed the ‘standing on something’ pose. You made it work! My focus was more drawn on the upper body and their poses and directions they were looking at.

Van Saar models are all monopose - 4 poses per box(I don't use woman miniature in this army) and one of four of those poses is standing on a box with grenades.
I thought that about quarter of and army standing on a boxes is a bit too much - skulls and helmets will be less monotone.

[hushrong]

Looking good and I did not notice there were no female sculpts in this army.

 

After the last 5 what's coming up next?

[HorrOwl]

2 hushrong:

Wyverns. 2 of them.

Then primaris psykers( will be made on a base of a blackstone psyker), 3 of them,  and master of ordnance.

[HorrOwl]

And a final batch:

There is a trooper with a lasgun that I forgot to paint in a one of the first parties, 2 platoon commanders(bald in masks) and 2 company commanders(redhead and whitehead).

I think it is quite obvious who is the Warlord here...

And all together!
