I've painted a few more 40K bits and pieces for a small commission for a good friends 40k army. I like 40k and the wealth of figures it offers but I've never committed to chaos in the collecting stakes myself. So on to the figures, some are converted slightly although I only stuck the parts together I'm not sure who makes some of the parts.
Bring on the big guns
most of the figures needed to be raised up slightly so the ammo belts sat correctly. They sat below the height of the base so it made sense to raise up the base rather than cut down the ammo belt. As always ripped up cork was used, it's not as heavy as slate but looks presentable once painted.
I love the red and gold it suits these guys down to the ground.
The beast!
I've painted a couple of these in the past but this is the first one I've painted with tentacles. They are proper beasts, armoured and a mix of machine and living parts! Just how chaos should be.
The larger base gave me a chance to play around abit and go to town!
The crates are Rubicon ww2 German accessories, with a few Space marine transfers applied. The rusted metal gives it a good contrast and a splash of colour, and the abandoned weapon and equipment the impression of a hastily retreat.
So another commission completed, and hopefully a very happy customer into the bargain.
So thanks for looking, feel free to comment.
Cheers for now Russ
I added a few more bits and pieces to the bases just to make them pop a little. 
the five new Terminators out of the ten.
I slightly converted a couple into more dramatic poses, running forward to join the fight.
I'm not sure if I got carried away to much with the bases or not, but I sure did enjoy myself.
I decided I wanted to portray a earlier unit from the war rather then the usual later years that I collect. I'm no expert and occasionally I do get it wrong hopefully this won't be one of those times. 
This is one unit which I havn't tampered with by adding conversions or even stripes for NCO's. Normally I cant help myself but these are literally a straight paintjob. 
The boys charging hopefully to glory! 
I'm pretty biased I'm afraid, the rebs in my collection outnumber the Yankees and I dont think that will ever change.

These guys painted up a treat and with only a couple of small alterations with greenstuff they were pretty plain sailing.
The officer as got to be one of my favourite figures from Dixon Miniatures. The bow tie, the map the stance of the figure it all ticks the boxes. The shoulder bars are greenstuff, and the bottom of the standard bearers trousers. I almost forgot about the sergeant stripes they are greenstuff also. 
The pose almost screams US Marines but maybe that's just me. A single flag is all they carried so I'm more than happy not having to paint two. 
So I now need to add another Confederate unit just to even things out!
