Some lovely stuff there Dan, the bases in particular are quite special.

Thanks Agent! The Space-Turkey took quite some time. I found it easier starting with a drybrush of leadbelcher (or equivalent silver paint) and then painting the trim.
Totally worth it given how annoying heldrakes can be and I hear painting gives better saves anyway!
I managed the Heldrake and base within two days and that's only to a low/ tabletop standard with minimal highlighting. I'm happy with it at the moment as I would prefer to get everything painted to a tabletop standard and then work on things further, but I will be putting more time into it!

I wish I had even a 1/4 of your painting drive to spur me on, at this rate you'll have a company of painted chaos marines that look very good.
keep up the good work and keep us informed of progress!

Thanks Cookie!
Last night I finished another 3 Obliterators and today I might try to tackle some Chaos Cultists, or suck it up and try being extremely patient gluing plague marines and havocs together (resin models)
Having some problems with them though. Might just be because it's new to me but having trouble posing the models before gluing. Any tips would be great!

..and on looking back at the post, maybe I need to work on resizing the images more suitably for forum posting!

Looking good though...

haha quite right - I have a Nikon d610 so perhaps scaling the images down further is the way to go!
