A quick little update, two more finished Valkyres. They are all pretty much all painted in the same manner so the noseart is the only highlight of these models.

He will put a boot up your ***.


As they look like Hinds, I thought why not give him the classic look.


Comments und critics as always welcome! One more to go, they are nice models, but I dont want to paint them anymore.

Freakin' awesome 
Hope they give plenty of enemies "the boot"!

[Guthwine]

Time for an update. Finally the Valkyres are finished! *wohooo* I also finished the missing commissar and command hq squad and tried one of the ogryn stands allthough they are not in the basic 3000 point list.

But enough said, here they are:


When my brother asked me if the noseart was a transfer sheet, I knew I got the job done.







Comments and critics are welcome as always.

Consistently awesome 
I especially like the bee. Any tips for those of us who might like to plagarize that idea? I just built my own valkarie unit... Were those chin-mounted cannon originally part of the model or did you modify them a bit? Mine lack the cannon.
Your squadron leader seems to by flying the "happy shark" 

[Guthwine]

Thank you! The guns are part of the model (from Forgeworld), but the one of the "happy shark" didnt survive shipping.

The only tip I have for the noseart is to paint the freehand directly after priming and when you do the camo leave a small black line around it. Youll give it alot more definition and thats what I did wrong with the pinup. Also a small brush doesnt hurt but other than that its try&error.

Very nice work!

The paint is awesome!!!

and the figures are really nice

Keep showing us your advance

[Guthwine]

Thanks guys!

The story continues with the whole might of the imperial Navy, 2 thunderbolts finished. They actually looked easier to paint than they were, with alot of corners and edges, it also showed me that "desert yellow" is not a good paint to cover larger areas, so thats why the paintjob might look a bit sloppy. But from gaming distance it looks good enough.

As they are part of the navy they got a squadron marking (red/white) and because they basicaly look the same they got individual kill markings to bring a little history into the paintjob. Nr.2´s kill was supposed to be a tank but I think it looks more like an AA gun.



Comments & criticism are very welcome!

Comming up a Flak Battery (3 Hydras)...

[Guthwine]

So time to continue the story.

Finished the Hydras and my first squad of sentinels:





Comments as always welcome. Comming up... 3 Hellhounds!

[Ale]

Very Good!!! I like your job, congratulations.

[Guthwine]

Thanks Ale!

Finally my Valkyres have something to transport. I wanted the stormtroopers to stand out compared to the standard guards, so they got camoflague and a more stealthy look for the desert:



Its really hard to photograph those minis properly, I tried my best to show you the most important details!

[Guthwine]

A quick update: Finished the missing hellhound and completed the squad, enjoy:



The one (bottom left) even comes with directions for the enemy. The plan was to write "salvation" on it but then I went with "hell" as it is much shorter and easier to do.

[captPiett]

super-nice (running out of superlatives, if you can't tell)
The dozer-blade decorations are very appropriate. The black and yellow is very cool.

[monsh]

Amazing detail on the vehicles.  I love the tiny little aquilla, and the nose art on the Valkyres is nothing short of inspiring! 

[Guthwine]

Thanks guys!

Finally, my supreme commander got his ride. In reality it would be stupid to mark a commander like that, but for the game I think its appropriate. Also I placed them on different terrain on the base to bring some movement into them.
