What's in the box? Daemonscape BigRig Dropship

Had this one on a shelf for a while, but thought it might fit my O.U.E.P. Robot Army quite well... Something to drop those legions of riflebots on the unsuspecting aliens and help negotiate access to their untapped unobtainium resources...

Left to right, top row: back (with cargo hatch), turret, upper body, front (with cockpit). Bottom row: back hatch (both faces), lower body (with integral landing gear, the three domes you can see on the picture) and engines. The small metal part taped on the card is the barrel of the turret.

CMG VTOLs assembled!

My domestic techmarine completed the assembly of both CMG VTOLs this week-end! He's got close combat training all this week but will hopefully be able to get back at it next week to paint them in their PLA livery. In the mean time I've ordered PLA decals (thank you for the tip, Kobold) on eBay and kanji numerals for the tail numbers at Fighting Pirannha Graphics... Stay tuned!

People Liberation Army 15th Airborne Corps

Just a few line about my ideas on how to use my brand new CMG Strike Hawk and Galacia VTOLs. I decided to use them as vehicles for a new force of the People Liberation Army Airborne Corps, the WZ-21 and Z-19...

I'm thinking mostly light grey to fit with the rest of my Terran forces, with patches of darker grey and green, optics in red and PLA markings... If I can source suitable decals I'd love to make the tail number kanji too...

Anyone got any idea on where to source PLA decals? The obvious answer is buying a PLA jet model, but I don't want to give out twice the price of the model for the decals...

What's in the box? CMG Strike Hawk and Galacia VTOLs

Two of  the strech goals of the ZAS Kickstarter (infantry reviewed here, mechas to follow) were an attack VTOL and its transport conterpart... Obviously I couldn't resist. So there went another £26 (£11 for the small guy, £15 for the big one).

On top, the Galacia Heavy Transport VTOL: the two top row are the engines and their support "blocks", note that the two forward are wider, putting the forward engines more outboard that the aft ones and paying at least lip service at avoinding one engine exhaust feeding the next one; on next row are the 4 skids, the body, a chin gun and a chin sensor (that seems to actually go with the Hawk but fits both).
