Nice, personally the beetle bots could do with being positioned a little more upright I reckon, (looking down and not where they're going currently), or even mounted higher up at the rear of the flyer, (turn the ship around?).

Now water can flow....or water can crash...be water my friend.

Some great conversions there... and a lot of work me thinks.

I really like the flyers.  Can't wait to see them finished.

The fliers have taken a step backwards...in fact...they are in bits.  Someone mentioned that the back would make a good front so I had to try it out...then I didn't like it and looked at the pose of the rider and...you get the idea  lol ...

...currently, it is a body with an upside-down base glued to it...

I am still working on it though :) .

No worries...I wasn't 100% happy with them (even at the WIP stage - rider too far forward) and have changed direction with them.  The riders are now standing on a fighting platform a bit like a chariot.  That makes it easier to fit them in without hanging over the front too much and also opens up the possibilities for a Lord to ride one.

I have got a bit further with the bots...just need to paint the bases:



I will paint up another bunch and then try to get hold of some tiny transfers to mark them all up.

I'm still ticking along with the Destroyers, a Lord and a Tomb Spider...

There's more on Inso's World :) .

I was just thinking of who they remind me of, and ia m sure it is because i have been watching it here and there on TV since it has been on. The heads especially and the shape of the body of the Lord model but they remind me of the Golden Army from Hellboy 2: The Golden Army.

On a side note i do really like them alot. Need to get the whole army done so we can see the full force on march to conquer the universe. :-)
