Next up....the chappy!

Sorry it\'s been awhile since my last update. I am rushing to finish building some models to fill out a 2500 Ard Boyz tournament list and am short some models. So I have stopped painting for the next two weeks to get building! I need a chappy w/jump pack, about 3 diff assault sargents, 10 tac marines, and 10 assault marines.

Yesterday I whipped up this chappy with a jump pack. I used some FW bits I had laying around to add icons to his pack and a FW UM termi shoulderpad. I used a chaos SM head, a power axe handle, and an icon from the captain sprue to make the Crozius. All that is left is to fill in some gaps with GS and put something on the base.

I still feel he could use a little something else as well. Not sure what to add though as I don\'t want to put too much on him to make him too cluttered. If any one has suggestions, I would be interested in hearing them.

While those skulls look great in a birds-eye, top-down view of the backpack, they look WAY too fat in any other angle - maybe if you ground them down or made a slightly shallower casting?

@ DaN-- I didn\'t make those skulls, they are from FW. To counter the bulkiness of the top, I plan to add some bulk around his waist and legs in the form of some Dark Angels Veterans bits I have on order. I will post new pics once the bitz have been applied. I now have to move onto making 10 more standard assault troops and 1 assault sarge. After that I need 10 more tac marines, 2 assault marines with flamers, and 2 more tac sgt\'s. All this needs to be done before this Saturday so I have a complete Ardboyz army!
