more attackbikes

Just a few missing details now, before the attackbikes (trikes) are finished.
I am missing a few details that needs painting. The antennas on the helmets needs to be painted in another color than the Ultramarine blue they have now, there are a few Imperial symbols that needs to be painted gold, the straps on the backpacks needs to get some brown paint and I need to add some wax seals. Then the whole model needs to get washed to get the same look as the other Marine units.

Both bikes ended up in the 4th company, as part of the fast attack units for this company.
One got equipped with a heavy bolter, while the other got a multi-melta.
These attack bikes will soon be followed by regular bikes. I have one box with a bike squad (3 bikes) and a couple of loose bikes that is laying on the shelves waiting for assembly.
I also have a few scout bikes (think I have 2) that needs to be assembled to join the one scout bike I have already. This bike is in the old colors, but there are very few details that need to be changed to get it upgraded to the new style.

I would also love to start to work on my Baneblade for my Imperial Guard army. This is a huge kit from Games Workshop. After checking the size of it, I have found it is roughly the same size as a modern tank in 1:35 scale. This is something I have built plenty of, so it should not be too hard to build it. What I would like to do first though, is to get the marines off my worktable so I can work with the Baneblade there. This means I ned to assemble and paint several marines first.
I also need to think out a paint scheme for the Baneblade as this is a tank of a completely different calibre thant the Leman Russ tanks that wil make up the backbone of the cavalry along with some hellhound type wehicles. Since the Baneblade is so much bigger, it would be nice to do some more detailed camoflage pattern on it.

Attackbikes

I thought I'd like to do something different from terminators for a little while, so this weekend I started to work on two attackbikes for one of my companies. Havent decided what company yet, but need to do this during the evening, as I plan to paint and glue the shoulderguards today.
I was thinking of 4th company, as I haven't got any troops in that company yet. According to the Codex Astartes the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th battle company and 6th and 8th reserve company have bikes. I plan not to build too much of my second company yet, as there are so many 2nd company marines around on gaming tables and pictures. Would be nice to show off some other companies as well. Building a chapter I do need to make a 2nd company, but I will fill up some of the other companies first.
Reserve companies will be filled when the regular battle companies are up to battle strength. They don't have to be full, but I would like them to have at least half strength before I start on the reserrves. First things that will drop in to the reserve companies will probably be dreadnoughts for 9th company as I like to build and paint them.

After reading at http://www.lexicanum.com it seems like my bikes will end up in the 4th company. I will make them as two 10 man squads that can be split up in to 4 bikesquads. Two of these will have attackbikes. Then I will have more attackbikes (at least two attackbike squads) in the 6th or 8th company.

I have decided to put the Grey Knights on hold for a while. I have one Inquisitor, and he will be painted up when the time comes. But for the moment he will be alone, or he might find some use somewhere else.
