Grey Knight Grandmaster with Terminator Retinue

Broodlord

Give me a hug, you.

Crusherfex

Tyranid Warriors

Shooterfex

Zoanthropes

Ork Warboss

Ghazgkull is arguably the best model Games Workshop produces, and mega-armoured Warbosses rip it up on the battlefield. When I first started playing with my ork army a Blood Angels army crushed me. In order to exact revenge, I modeled my Warboss to be eternally stomping a Blood Angel Marine in to the ground. Waaaaagh!

Meganobz

These guys are awesome, except when they get stuck walking accross the board for five turns. Whether they are leading a squad or accompanying a Warboss, I make sure they have transportation.

Burna Boyz

A Burna Boyz Squad with five burnas (add a Mekboy with burna) will quickly toast any lightly armoured opposition. Plus, those goggles are just so orky!

Nobz and Mad Dok Grotznik

In my opinion, an Ork army is only as tough as its Nobz. Every squad MUST be led by a Nob, preferably with heavy-duty wargear. The Nob with power claw never disappoints.

Da Boyz

Ork Boyz with various gunz, rokkitz, and weapons that end with "z".

Metal Militia Space Marine Chapter Master with Retinue

The Chapter Master's bodyguard includes an Emperor's Champion, a Veteran Sergeant with powerfist and plasma pistol, two flamers, a ton of attacks, and a bad attitude.

Metal Militia Chapter Master

Armed with a Lightning Claw and Combi-Melta, the Chapter Master is perfect for leading an assault.

Metal Militia Emperor's Champion

Independent Characters and Sergeants

Left to right: Sergeant with plasma pistol and powerfist, Terminator Chaplain, Terminator Captain, Terminator Librarian, Devastator Sergeant.

Captain with Terminator Armour

Predator Annihilator

Metal Militia Veteran Sergeant

Metal Militia Veteran Sergeants are distinguished by their golden helmets and are normally armed with a plasma pistol and power weapon or powerfist.

Metal Militia Tactical Squad with Rhino

The Metal Militia Chapter usually forgoes a heavy weapon for an extra assault weapon, in this case a meltagun. This squad can move 12", deploy, and fire three plasma shots, a meltagun, and 14 bolter shots.

Devastators

Two multi-meltas and two heavy bolters makes this squad effective against armour or infantry.

Space Marine Terminators

The models are old school, but they get the job done!

Scouts

Good for claiming objectives, give a Scout Sergeant a Teleport Homer, have the squad infiltrate, and deep strike your Terminators to their position. With Terminators as backup, suddenly five Scouts aren't such a laughing matter.

Chaplain with Jump Pack and Assault Squad

With an attached Chaplain this squad has four plasma pistols, two power weapons, and furious charge. These guys will smash through almost any squad in the game!

The Desert Foxes

The Desert Foxes, my Imperial Guard Army, is possibly my favorite army. The Imperial Guard have a lot of character, a lot of models, and a lot of tanks. And call me crazy, but I love painting camoflauge.

Command Squad

Colonel Fox, Commissar with powerfist and powersword, Standard Bearer

Imperial Guard Stormtroopers

Colonel Shaeffer and Kane

Tech Priest and Servitors

Ogryn Squad with Chimera and Commissar

These Ogryns were converted from Warhammer fantasy Ogres using extra autocannons as ripper guns.

Desert Fox Veterans

Most of my Imperial Guard veterans are conversions incorporating plastic and metal components from various Cadian and Catachan sprues and blister packs.
