Merry Christmas - Kans all done!

Hope you had a nice Christmas - I got so much stuff to add to the painting list that it will require a separate post... In the meantime, I finished that last Killa Kan, so now we have a set of three:

More Kans!

Now we're cooking on gas - two posts in two days! What is it, Christmas or something?:

Opted for a bit of missile launcher action on this one and a nice red cylon-style eye...

Dusty bin...

Where's Ted Rogers?  3...2...1...

Killa Kans for addition to the ork force:

Love these - they're hilarious models (and big too), and great fun to paint. I thought it was high time I started shifting these off the painting table because I'm hoping that Santa will be kind this year (unless I'm on the naughty list, you never know...).

More to follow soon.

Swelling the ranks

Finally got around to finishing another tac squad today, so the Eagle Warriors army is starting to reach a fair size - here are a few pics of the latest additions - I've painted the gun casings black this time instead of the usual red just to make differentiating between squads a little easier from a distance, and the weapons options are a little different for these guys too - the sergeant gets a plasma pistol for example:

Black missile launcher (complete with terrible mould lines that I missed:

More plasma... swapped the flamer for a plasma gun:

Here's a couple of troupers - one with a grenade and the other with an auspex (had to fit the auspex in somewhere...):

...and here's a blast from the past - good old beaky helmets!

And finally the whole squad together:

Which means that the whole force now looks like this!

I painted and ork (and I liked it...)

Big news... Mrs Doggles paints her first ork!

Not bad eh? - I may be biased, but considering this is her first ever miniature, I'd say it's pretty marvellous... I'm so proud!

I painted the same mini alongside her so that I could give her some pointers, so here's a pic of the two of them side-by-side:

There's not a huge amount of difference between the two of them is there? The only problem now is that I'll find it hard to shoot at him...

New marines WIP

Trying to be patient and forcing myself to put this new Tac Squad together after the bits have been painted is quite testing... - finally got the arms on some of them now after painting the bodies fully:

Here's how I now paint heads - I drill a little hole in the bottom and mount them on a cocktail stick - the champagne cork provides a nice easy-to-grab handle (and a little bourgeois style...)

I've found this a lot easier to be honest. Heads on sticks all lined up ready to go:

Hopefully have some more finished stuff in the next post- keep rollin' them sixes folks :o)

More from Warhammer World

Some random pics from the miniatures hall for your delectation, marines up first:
