Sniper WIP and Bases

So I've made a decision to go ahead and just do lava bases on the guys for the time being.  It's dirt cheap, look pretty ok, and I can always change my mind later.  The best part about how I do the lava bases is that in 10 seconds you can take an exacto and you've got your base back.  So I did one of every kind of base that I currently need (Dreadnought, Bike, and standard troop) just to make sure that it didn't look too stupid.  Here's the results. (Also testing out a new camera so hopefully the picture quality will go up a bit, even if the subject matter doesn't)



I still need to fix that eye.


Very WIP on the Scout "Sniper" 


  Taking a suggestion from a friend, I'm going to string up my bows with fishing line instead a guitar string.  I was thinking of using guitar string to give that "Sci-Fi Bow" look, but it doesn't make sense for someone ever  to make a bow string out of metal.  I think the clear fishing line will accomplish the same thing and make more sense.  I started to assemble the rest of the unit last night and I ran out of plastic glue and super glue.  I'm so ashamed.  What self respecting wargamer runs out of glue.

Maybe tonight I'll get the rest of the unit finished.  I'm getting close to finally being able to put these guys on the board.    You know what they say, "Die for the Emperor or Die Trying."
