Get the specs out Rodrigo! The fifth digit is the thumb and that's gripping the weapon on the other side, out of view. The grey 'finger' you see is actually the foot of the figure behind.

Talk about a bad foot placement, lol. It really looked like a unpainted finger. Of course I could ask why does the guy have one hand gloved and the other ungloved, but I think GW wouldn't reply to that question, lol.

I didn't think you'd miss a finger,  feel free to give Rodrigo one though.... 

Yeah, I know David's quality for some time now (I think he painted the first figure/vehicle for me in 2008 ) that's why I was wondering what went wrong with that finger. In the end it was a foot  ;D

Thanks, I appreciate that, I will have to order some heresy guns and do a bit of clipping. Never liked bolters but that makes them look good. I also took all skulls and eagles and any GW symbols off. (Hate all the gawdy stuff gw puts on their marines)

Here is a picture of one of the 30 marine scouts I converted.

 Hello everyone.

  This thread is one of the reasons i signed up.
At the moment i am painting a imperial guard army but i have used the colour scheme of marines and odst's (Halo2/3) to inspire my guardsmen and storm troopers.
 A example is i have painted nearly all of my storm troopers to be just like this Halo action clix Odst (Halo 2) but i have painted the visor blue to be more like the halo 3 versions.

If anyone would like to see them i will create a new thread related to this one showing and explaining my army.
40K Armies:
Space marine's: Knights of the raven
tau empire
Imperial Guard: 112th Arcadia
Drop Zone Commander armies:

Whilst wandering around on nu-earth I've been looking at my halo stuff and realised I'm kinda locked into a forever war sci-fi tip. Also relesed I've not taken a shot of the odst lineup now that Dwartist has painted them all up for me so here we go:

Going to try to run the two projects side as the gaming boards can easily share some of the same pieces.
Anyway enjoy and keep you posted.

I should think so too. :D Thanks again for painting them mate they are and remain awesome.  :-*

Anyway I was taking another look at the micro ops stuff from Mcfarlen. Whilst most of the models are either too big for 15mm or too small for 28mm, the banshee flyer is actually well scaled for 28mm, ( Shown here with one of the almost 20 ish mm convenant elites it comes with. Checked against my Livejoy Convenant greens and looks good.



so at £2.99 I bought three. :D

Spugs are pretty good Grunt proxies.

I've looked for a Jackal proxie and nothing has jumped off-the-page.  :-[

*cough* early-Xmas Prezzie x2



 :D





I just picked up one of these. Got it for $40. A little damage on the turret on top, but nothing that a little glue won't fix.
Looking for a set of rules that adaptable for different genres.
