Another weekly update

As usual things are running a little slow, there is so much other stuff going on that the miniature work doesn't get the right attention. But still, there are some progress. The Cadian command squad are fully assembled now, but there are some detils thast still needs painting. The Catachan command squad is ready to march into combat, as soon as their standard bearer gets his arm attached. I will do that as soon as I have used mithril silver on the scull in the middle of the standard. Both command squads might still get some extra stuff added, like canteens, knives, grenades, and such, but that can always be added at a later time. The metal command squad is getting painted a little bit at the time, but it doesn't get too high priority. My Ogres are also in the half-painted state at the moment. Sly (Sylvester) is missing paint on eyes and mouth as well as a wash on his pants and boots. I also need to use some wash on his chains. Dolph just need a few detailing touches such as eyes, mouth and the leather parts of his belts and carrying straps for the grenades. The other 3 ogryns have gotten their pants and tshirts painted. Also yesterday I got my last ogryn for the 6-orgryn squad in the mail, so he will be assembled this weekend. I got a package from Games Worshop HQ yesterday, and in that package was Gunnery Sergeant Harker (Gunny Highway in my army) who actually looked a bit smaller than I had expected from his description in the army books, there were 3 Kommisars that I really look forward to painting, and the first Chimera. I really hope my order of Cadian parts arrive soon from Ebay, as I then can assemble my Sergeant Bastonne too... Then he and Harker just need their elite squads to lead in to battle. 

The Space Marines are also getting along. The second batch of specialists will get their arms attached to their torsos on sunday if all goes according to plan. Then they just need shoulder guards and their backpacks to march into war. I will also see if some of them can get some extra equipment to make them look even more like special forces. For the Space Marines I already have a base scheme, so they will be based the next time I bring out the white glue.
