Anyway, on to the models!
When I had a reasonable amount of money in my account, I went out and bought an Astra Militarum Taurox kit. I'll be honest, I think I was one of the few people who actually kind of liked the model when it came out. So I bought it, while at the same time ordering some very cool resin kits from Zinge Industries' (zinge.co.uk) resin APC range to swap out the Taurox's caterpillar tracks for a set of wheels (along with other bits) to turn it into a 40k MRAP.
(no idea why the top one came out blurry but the bottom one didn't)
So, I think it turn out quite well. This also marks the start of the colour scheme I'll be using on the vehicles for my Morphean Highlanders: basically a drab green colour with a red invasion stripe down the middle for easy identification from the air. I obviously based this around the orange IFF panels used by Coalition forces during the Invasion of Iraq, and the idea I had behind this particular regiment, the Morphean 101st Highland Regiment of Foot is that they're engaged in a war against anti-Imperial secessionist forces in the Karisol system. Obviously, particular vehicles such as command tanks and vehicles will have a simple camouflage scheme in place of the drab green while other vehicles will have camouflage netting on them.
I also have an idea for quick identification flashes on the flanks of vehicles such as the Taurox or Chimeras, but that's still a work in progress so I'm not 100% on them yet.
So yeah, that's all I've got for now, but I hope to have something up before the end of the month.
