Khador or bust for me, since I want to make CN Russia great again. Oh, and another similarity is that like 40k, they have bonny blue bastards that are the main force of good in story and in mascot-form.

I prefer Retribution of Scyrah and Convergence of Cyriss myself. CoC being quite broken though.
 
I hope GW releases a new Skaven battletome. The pre-Sylvaneth Pestilens battletome simply can't hang.
 
So here's the green stuff conversion. He looks pretty good. I still need a few bitz to finish him properly but I'm happy so far.

I'm sure 99% of you will see it straight off the bat, but for anyone wondering the long section of his coat is what I made, stuck on to a standard Imperial Guard body. The section on his chest is part of a breathing apparatus that I still need to finish modelling. He's an Original Character (DO NOT STEAL) lol.

Is that an officer, or one of the liason types like the navy bombardment coordinator guy?

I assume you're talking to me. Basically I decided that for the Ultramar Auxila a standard IG command squad wasn't going to cut it so I decided to convert/scratch build/straight up buy a set of minis that would look cool and individual. I got bored one day and made up fluff for this guy. He name is Marcus Caer and an Orc incursion into Ultima Sectum saw him getting his arm blown off and his lungs caved to shit whilst defending a dying Ultramarine long enough for the apothecaries to arrive and save the marines life. In recognition of his usefullness in saving something far more valuable than him he was stuck back together and told to get on with purging xenos, so he did. He's also now super best friends forever with the marine he saved and now the two of them badassedly skip hand in hand through the blood of their enemies. Marcus is also going to get himself an Inglorious Basterds style bunch of misfits to gleefully slaughter things with in Shadow Wars.

This is my Standard bearer BTW, another scratchbuild/conversion job.

That joystick in the background - that's an X52Pro, isn't it?

As an aside, I'm considering doing bits for diorama work to sell to WH40k spergs - there any particular architectural features that are hard to get hold of that you lot would want?

Indeed it is an X52. also as far as Diorama work, if you're looking to sell terrain you need to be making something better and cheaper than anything GW sell. You can't go wrong with industrial gothic. Make it look like an oil rig got dropped on Draculas castle and they'll buy it.

@BlueArmedDevil Greenstuff is free 'cos I have loads of it, plus I need practice.

Cheapness isn't the hard bit. Coming up with sufficiently stupid names is the challenge: it takes a certain degree of skill to come up with 'Sector Mechanicus Galvanic Servohaulers' when describing cranes.

Yeah there is that. I've always found the best way is to describe exactly what it is in real terms: Large Pipe Waste Release. Then run it through a thesaurus: Substantial Conduit Discharge Exoneration. Then mix the words up and make them sound Latin: Conditutum Substantius Exonerant Dischargivium.
