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.
