New arrivals

So I have received delivery of a new batch of models from forge world and while the vast majority of them are still in lots of small pieces and not really suitable for viewing I do have this to show off.

Space Marine Jet bike next to a standard chaos space marine biker that I happened to have lying around from being used as a proxy. I included the normal biker not because it is in my army (it is not) but it is a point of comparison, really brings home how substantial the jet bikes are.
I think my jet bikes are going to be even more substantial when the standard bearer and friends are converted on to the riders, I have received 4 of these and I am aiming to work on their conversion and painting soon.
The main delay in getting these sorted is going to be completing the deathstorm and then working on the other models I received, the two Contemptor Mortis Dreadnoughts with twin Kheres pattern assault cannons.

These additions to the force (assuming I paint them up decently) will provide some very potent focal points for the army and will cut down the requirement for proxies a lot.

Drop pod 2

Well i have completed the second drop pod, in fact you may have noticed it in the some of the photos for the battle report against the Tyranids but here we go with some proper pictures.

 Pretty standard exterior shot showing the ever present lightning effects, this drop pod has had less silver implemented in the paint scheme as it was a bit much in the first one and I think it works.

And another close up view

All told not a bad model and a very useful addition to the army. I am currently working on the deathstorm drop pod and hope to have it finished in a couple of weeks.
