These guys were originally going to be lootas, but I decided to make them flashgits. It was kind of a quick paint job, for an up coming game. I'll probably go back and work on them a little more later. C&C welcome as always.

Yea, I here you. I was thinking about going back and painting some gold teeth and giving them all shoulder pads.

they look awesome, I give you that, but they dont look like Nobz in eavy armour with big frikkin gunz. They look like boys with big frikkin gunz. I think I would run them as lootaz (im building lootas using the burnaboy parts like you have done), but each to their own! As long as everyones clear on what is what.

Very nicely painted. This is how I plan to make my lootas and perhaps flashgitz as well. My only complaint is that their weapons are too similar. If you make more, you should add some significant variation.

I get Lootaz and Flash Gitz mixed up all the time anyway, I'd be happy to face them as either. Great work, again. Can we get a group shot of these, with the shoota boyz (and any others in the red/yellw colour scheme)? The unified colours just scream for a family foto!

I like 'em a lot.
I like 'em so much I'm gona loot 'em I agree however, they don't look like Nobz in armor. I'm going to see if I can squeeze a plastic Orc Nob into the burna harness. |

I'm oging to have to join the chorus of they look like lootas to me. Now, make some real Flashgitz, with nob models for the base
 .  Or if you still use them as flash gitz, make some lootas Seriously though, they look just like i'd imagine bad moon lootaz.

Over da shoulder = Lootaz
Under da arm = 'Gitz That's the simple premise I'm using for my lot, anyway, since I've got a bunch of the GW Lootaz to start with. Nice job Rebreather. I really like the look of squad as a whole, and each one is kit-bashed and painted very nicely. Now git krumpin'!

I think they are what you sya they are and the paint and details are very nice regardless -- great job -- if this is a "rushed" job I would really like to see a "unrushed" paint job

Normally people use nob size = flash gitz, boyz = lootas. But whatever works .

These are really well done. I especially like the flames on the gun. However, considering they are holding looted weapons and are boy sized they should prolly be lootaz.

how do you paint yellow on your gunz??? thnx /quote] I block in the yellow with Iyaden and then do several layers of Golden. The only difference is that there is the tiniest bit of red (and I mean tiny) added to the Golden Yellow. I looted that idea from an Imperial fist player. I like the color better and I think the extra red pigment helps with coverage. But, it still took at least 2 or 3 layers of the Golden + red. -------------------- |
