Wow, that's some high quality painting, love it!

Also, is that the "brain bug" from Starship troopers? Holy crap it's a cool looking model! Are there more of those? Was there a miniature game from the movie or what? Either way, I think it's the best alternate model I've seen for the a-bomb.

You are exactly right, its a brain bug minus the brain sucking apparatus. Here is a pic to a regular one.



There was game a while back the models are still available, but long OOP. The brain bug is one of the harder to get, but type in something like "starship troopers strategy game brain bug" or "starship troopers miniatures, brain bug" on ebay. I really like the Rank N File bugs. Those are awesome.

Those stormvermin look boss! How did you do the helmets? Wash and highlight or is that layered?

[aceking]

Watup. Those stormvermin have not been highlighted yet, just basecoat and devlan mud.. Nothing in the army has yet, except the warpfire throwerr. The rest of the army is nothing but a 4-5 color basecoat and devlan mud. I intend to bring it all out to a higher standard, before adepticon. This way I get to play with it at a table top level, and if something doesn't get all the way done before Adepticon, I can squeeze it through.

The Nurglitch model I bought off ebay, and all I did was the base using an Iron Halo resin base.
I'm working on 40 clanrats now, almost done. At the same time I'm building 40 slaves with the sling upgrade kits. Im trying to come up with a way to mark the slaves with the army color similar to the grading system from the movie Gladiator.
