Thanks, I've always liked German WWII camo, well heck I love any camo but I was inspired by WWII German splinter camo. I built this kit with the idea it would be serving in an area primarily covered in tall grass. I also added screen mesh over the intakes and little windscreens to keep the bugs out off thier helmets ;)

You can see bigger pics here:

Mind you the close-ups make it look a little rough LOL!

Thanks for letting me play, here's a Tau Piranha I did back in May (Had to go back and check my upload date to remember when I built it).

I will add both of you guys to the list. 

I don't have anything eldar so i doubt I can help.  I can ask my local hobbyshop see if they can find me some replacement ones for free if they are at all able to do that.  I'd say be adventurous and build it without instruction though.  hehe.  take a picture of the sprues individually, n let's help you figure it out too.  my marines freak out with the sight of eldar grav tanks...  n fricking tau heavy weapons...

Kind of a long shot here but I picked up an Eldar Falcon Grav Tank the other day but it came without the intruction sheet. I can probably figure it out but it would be nice to have before I do something stupid...DOH!

If anybody has one and can scan it I would be very greatful. But then again it might just give me an excuse to buy another :)

Some great looking stuff in this build, can anybody play or registration closed?

Hi! Finished these two this past weekend, just got the pics up. The paint is chaos black over codex grey. I wanted to add a little variety to my white and black scheme I normally use for my army. I think I'll paint a couple figures the same colors, I think it looks more slick. The ship with the red markings is the lead vehicle, did it to add some variety. I used my airbrush to paint them, which went quite well. I used Bare Metal Foil to mask which is ideal for Tau vehicles since it conforms nicely to curved and awkward surfaces. Comments and criticisms are welcome and appreciated.

ps. I'll try to get more pics up, but I'm having some trouble.

after buying a pair of new piranha's for my tau army, i think im gonna build those for this GB. probably gonna be a very light gray and black paint scheme, matching the rest of my army. Already got them built, just waiting to get some time to paint them.

ps. could you fix my screenname to "BLAKJAK" hate to be picky, but there are no C's. thanks!

Got bored today and thought I'd sort out what I have and need for my dark angels deathwing army.  One thing I desparately just as many others needed are assault guns, and lots and lots of them.  Having a dreadnought weapon at Heavy 3 and fielding 2 per squad.  That makes an insane shooty army.  Anyways, I had some leftover wolf guard termi arms and decided to make some assault guns from scratch. 

*Yea, I totally placed the gun upside down...  The barrels were styrene rods with the ends drilled out and the rest were from 030" styrene sheets.

I am torn between using that scratch piece and sculpt the rest using green stuff or just cut off the front part of the two heavy flamer arms I have and convert those into assault gun arms to minimize the sculpting.

Heyas archangel,

 I am pretty well stocked on miniatures for my army. I appreciate the offer though. The guys I use to game with dont play 40k much anymore, so they mostly sit on the shelves even though thats ok with me, I love the story behind 40k and the looks of the miniatures.

Hey welcome to the forum.  It's only a small group of people here on warhammer stuff but anything is better than nothing.  I will have you added to the list. 

Also if you are looking for any 40k marine pieces, email me on that.  I got a decent dark angels army that I am still debating whether or not to give up.  They are mostly unpainted.

Throw an armor boy a Imperium's Best and he gives you this in 2 nights: 

Try to spot the small changes.

Everything that can be drilled... is drilled through!!

Extra Armor.  Relocated spot light, idea stolen from the golden daemon winner.  He had a nicer forge world turret to work with.

The exhaust got trimmed due to  my mis-calculation with the spare wheels.  One of the tool box on the turret is left half open to be filled in with crap later.

I couldn't let go of the external fuel tank like the manual had asked...

Next time I will widen up the depth of field a bit. 

Got two more panel to fill with these ammo box tiedowns.  The idea is from the russian T-55.

Arms are not glued/sanded down yet.  The MG still needs a PE sight as well from some of my Tamiya scraps.

There are still some 40 percent more details to add but i will leave that to another weekend.

Well, Just started on my monster.  Its the Land Raider.  Figured because there is so much time, I may go ahead and do an Eisenhorn figure also from Inquisitor.  I'll get pics once I have the interior painted.

Well here's my progress so far.  Apologies for the poorly-lit pics... I need to pick up 2 of those lamps in the recent FSM.  Keeping the paint scheme simple so I can get through all the unpainted minis laying around.  I just like the liche purple!  These two still need their clear coat:





...and here's two more started:

Sorry, don't have any real reference material on any Warhammer 40k stuff.

Anyway.

I stripped the paint off some the parts for my Tyranide Carnifex (which is one of the tyranids I'm building, got a bunch of other semi-big figures too). Going to see if I can put a coat of primer on it this weekend or something and then maybe start painting. Got to scheck out some color scemes first though.

Must..NOT... let this GB fall onto the Eye of Terror, aka the 2nd page... 

I had the extra free time this past Friday to watch a game at the local hobby shop.  That was pretty kul.  I had been only painting warhammer figures during the last 5 years (4 years in college) and never actually had a chance nor time for any games.  Think I will try to finish this IG army soon enough to play against a bunch of highschoolers there for the Medusa V thing this summer.

drew some plans last night for scratch building a baneblade or stormblade super heavy tank.  does anyone have good reference on these aside from what I could find on google?

Well I hope you got enough info about Warhammer from my answers in that other thread of yours.  Otherwise you can always ask more here, and yeah, you won't really get the game unless you play a round or two.

Yup, join in anytime whenever you get the kits.  I will  have you on the list as "interested" that way you won't forget it either. 

As far as the main thread is concerned I will just modify this one into it.  It's true that some low interest GBs [gah... which all happen to be my favorites..=( ] get driven back several pages in the GB section.  Thanks wolfp.
