Mock ups of new arms

Here are some guys I threw together with various bits I had laying around. I just wanted to give some idea of the scale and how they looked.

New bits

A friend and I had some arms sculpted by Morbak. I wanted some improvised weapons for my renegades. There are 6 arms total, 3 left and 3 right.

I've got some figures mocked up with the arms I need to get pics of and then get them painted. If you are interested in buy some let me know. I plan to put them on ebay after I get some additional ones cast up. My thoughts on price are $1.20 a pair or 10 pair for $10.

Yet Another Necron Test model

Which necron looks best/least bad? The one with blue below, the metal one, the beige/bone one or something else all together?

Papa Nurgle has come to town

A box arrived the other day with a very cool figure in it.
The Maxmini Greater Plaguebringer model. This thing is BIG. I think I will be using it as Scabiathraxus, thats how big it is.

I can't wait to get this painted up, its going to be a blast.
Here's a link to it at the store, its got a nice painted picture and includes a normal sized figure to show you scale.

Necrons, conversions and test models

I've been trying to figure out how to paint my Necrons. Initially I decided on a blue/silver theme and painted up a test model.

But I've since decided to go a different way. The blue and silver/metal seem to close together to me, the sort of blend together. So I think I am going to go with green like the regular ones. I know, why boring old green, well, because it seems to look best. I like the way the green and silver contrast. I thought about yellow/orange but they seem too hot to me for the necrons. I've also decided to go with a rusty theme rather than the pristine necrons that I was originally going with.

I also spent some time this evening kit bashing some crypits and a lord. They are made from various bits from the immortal box and the lychguard box.

And inbetween letting stuff dry and what not I took a crack at the dark eldar. This is my test model. I'm pretty happy with the basic color and armor so I will probably go with this scheme.
