It's been a while but for some unknown reason, this has become very important stuff to finish...sheesh!  If only I could put my muse in a jar and stick to one thing...:

The first Death-Scooter (of three):



...and the band together:

These are for the 40k right?

I think that these beat the necrons, Tau and rest of the crap  110 / 0. Very nice job with the conversions but if I may say, I would use a little more highlighting / washes in the paint job.
I'm serious when I say that these should be commercially produced instead of the before mentioned crap.

keep up the good work!

Cheers :) .

At the moment, I just want to get them all up to a good tabletop standard (neat, basecoated and shaded).  Once I have got them all built and painted to that standard, I want to add some edge highlights and a small amount of decoration (maybe squad markings and rank).

I have another two of the Scooters on the go and have bits and bobs for another 18 Beetle-Bots, 2 Scooters (one a heavy and the other a mounted lord) and a number of tomb spiders (which aren't going to look like spiders but will hopefully look like ogre sized Beetle-Bots with servo arms).

I have some ideas for the scarabs...but they are very foetal at the moment.

Understandable since building, basing and painting a whole army takes time :). As you said.. you can always do the detailing after the basic job has been done.

Nice Inso,

Just one thing, that top shoulder pad, to make it a little more 'poppy' maybe paint it like a dark green lense?

Thanks :)...glad these are going down OK (I know they are a bit 'cute' for some people).  I may update the upper fairing with a gem effect at some point but I'm not sure about it at the moment...it may be a bit 'glitzy' for them...I'll have a think about it :) .

Oh...by the way...the Death-Scooters are all finished...



Maybe it is time for some more troops and an updated tutorial?
