Deathwatch kill team and Sisters of battle strongpoint 13 bunker.
The bunker has been re based and repainted. The deathwatch team has sat half painted in its case for years. I've finally finished them off and hope to actually use them!

Really nice work!
Are those freehand emblems on the shoulder pads?

Yup, the chapter markings are freehand except for the librarian Howling griffons emblem which is a shield from the fantasy empire knights kit. Unfortunately the Red Scorpion one looks more like a crab, but too late now!
I picked the howling griffons because I remember a sweet army painted by Fred Reed featured in a white dwarf. The red scorpion I picked from a bit of background story from the robots article in WD for rogue trader, way before forgeworld released kits for them.
The other 3 I picked just to really annoy fanboi purists. Left to right its the Fire Hawks, Minotaurs and Rainbow Warriors.
The bunker was really starting to suffer. The base was cracking away and threatened the bunker itself, so I screwed it (nudge nudge Ruffian) onto the new circular board and used cheap unbranded all purpose filler to build it up. I was going to put loads of details like bits of razor wire and stuff, but I realised that it's tricky enough standing models on it without extra bits getting in the way, so I went for simple and practical instead.
Here's what it looked like beforehand (painting by some GW staffer at head office):

Its very easy to do, it took about 2 hours and almost £3.50 of materials...

Any chance of a little tutorial. Did you make templates and can we see the tools used?

Lord of the Rings Farmer Maggot dogs. I bought these to use as trademark item wargear in my imperial guard army. However as this is no longer an option they will count as bodyguard advisers instead. I quite like the idea of releasing the hounds upon an upstart enemy!
We also have 9 moonscape craters done.

Looks nice Angelwing.
Like the colors!

Nice Angelwing - loving the colour. Can't quite tell in the pic, is it metallic, or matt. The blue accents set off nicely against it either way. Great work!

@Angelwing, what did you use for the basing material?
Did you color it like that or is it the colors it came in?
Looks like some kind of multicolored sand.
