Howdy,
Finally managed to finish off the two remaining Blood Claws. Meaning that the squad is now complete. I enjoyed mixing the old metal miniatures with some of the newer plastic arms from the Space Wolves battle force box.
Ive been reading a few blogs lately where the virtues of the latest GW stuff have been praised highly, but i feel that the older models still have a lot of character in them.
Anyway some images to show the progress.

So whats up next? Well I've got lots to choose from...... till next time.
I definitely feel the same about the old v new models! The latest Tacticals box is wonderful to work with, clean lines, no flash and crisp details begging for a coat of paint. The old metals, well maybe its just nostalgia speaking but they do have a lot more character even if they are less dynamic. I have actually been collecting a few of the old sculpts in *gasp* finecast as I love the poses so much.
