Nice painting and conversions with the gun swaps.

Just saw this on your blog, great work. I've been after these apes for a while, but I need to paint a bit more of the lead mountain before I make any more purchases for a while.

They are really nice.  Lovely white and orange, both colours that can be difficult to get right.

I think that a more 1950s, Jetsons-esque rayguns might have fit with the spacesuit design a little better than the Dark Eldar weapons, but they are definitely an improvement on the twentieth century real-life, Planets of the Apes weapons that the models are sculpted with.

Love these. Great paintjobs, as Cheetor said white and orange are tough colours to get right but you've got them looking really cool.  :D
I really like the Dark Eldar weapon swaps too. Good job.
