      Very interesting - lots of scope for a loose imagination I suspect!

        My first contribution to the GB complete. Five Stargrave troopers in their black uniforms, I’ve painted them up like a planetary defence type unit, each with individual numbers on their armour. These are great models to get into figures with. You get lots of options with heads, weapons and equipment but they keep them relatively simple. A lot of GW figures are imho getting over complicated for their basic troops making them akin to character models. I now have a couple of figures that also fit the GB and you’ll see what I mean when I get them done.

          They have turned out really well. Given the scale and the difficulty of shading/highlighting black you should be more than happy.

          They look spot on Mick.Ive been buying some of the Warhammer part works that WH Smiths have been stocking.Got a couple of strange contraptions to make mate.I watch a few guys on youtube who paint similar and Fantasy stuff and im blown away with their stunning work.

            Thanks Richard, there were a couple of issues I was interested in as they had specific models I wanted to have a go at.. Good luck with yours
