    In my opinion the shield looks great, beautiful freehand! And that base looks great too!

    I'm currently working on this block of 30 Dwarf Longbeards. Hopefully, I'll be finishing them up soon!

    Looking good, when I see unit assembled and on movement trays I really do wonder why AOS went free form movement, trays can add so much to an army.

    Keep them coming ;)

    Thanks, guys! Your remarks are really encouraging! I've actually got them really close to done. I just need to do a few highlights and touch-ups then I'll be ready to take pics. Soon!

    I know but they just don't look the same, that's what I love about KOW the bases are fantastic as you kill a unit not single models so you can go wild on the bases.

    Thanks, Crowsfoot! Likewise! :spiderman: I attempt to give each unit their own unique personality, fitting to their fluff. Tomb Kings = dusty, drab, Lizardmen = vibrant jungle colors, Dwarfs = warm earth tones, High Elves = pristine royal colors, Dark Elves = dark and foreboding, Wood Elves = Cammo, O&G = scavenged bits of armor and leather, Skaven = dark and dirty, Empire = multitude of colorful units. That's the most basic color theory for each army. I break it down from there. I'm pretty sure this is how you and most others do it as well, though. :)

    BTW, I finished them last night, but didn't have time to take pics before bed. I'll work on that this weekend.

    I played around with my Skitarii colors last night. I think that I'll be going with blue as my primary and creamy beige as my secondary. I want them to be all Steam Punky so lots of leather, wood and metal.

    It is called a Dunecrawler I think. Some sort of walker.

    Yeah, that's what they call it. I really don't know very much about 40K. This is my first venture into that world.
