They will be painted in the same colorshcem as the rest of my ig army blue/green/grey.
I have yet to decide wich colors the bases are going to be though.

Well i will give you a little tutorial.
1. Make a small green stuff ball.
2. Wet your finger tips, with water.
3. Now scquise and pull the ball out in to rough rectagular shape.
4. Take your sculpting tool and push the cape in to shape around the neck of your model.
5. Bend and pull the cape to make the "wind" effect.
6. Roll a small green stuff snake and put it around the models neck and a bit down on the cape to make the pulled back "hood"
there i hope that does it for you
Well i got some more work done this night. So here goes:
Sniper5: Got his hat and it is 100%. He also got his sniper rifle and a strap to go with it. He was so exited, that he just had to try it on
Sniper6: Got his hood (the best so far i think), and a little hair. He too got his rifle(with strap), but he was more in to pointing at stuff and scream. So he didnt try it on.
A very impressive group of snipers!
I am very impressed the way you incorporated terrain in with each one. I like them very much. Now I can't wait to see them painted!

Obviously kermit wasn't in town when you visited.The coolness tends to follow him around.
I'm just curious about models with terrain features on thier base, like the snipers with the building ruins on them. When you use them in game, do you afford them a cover save? If so, do your opponents have anything to say on the subject?
Of course not. I'ts just for the look...

I personally think that these beautiful snipers should be given a nice camo pattern on their faces and capes, something slightly realistic to go along with all the city terrain they are hiding in. A nice way to paint those ruins Ive found is a base coat of codex grey with highlights done with dry brushing by adding progressively more white to the codex grey. Then wash certain parts with wattered down scorched brown to give a nice dirtied realistic look.
Looking good as always, but is it me or is #5's hat look to big?
Well you can see the camo scheme for the snipers in my other post(the one with pics of some of my painted units).
As for base and terrain color. Well i don't know yet, as i have not decide what kind world they are from.
Im thinking about painting the ruins as "sand stone" or just the plain old concrete.
Hehe sniper5s hat. Well it is not bigger actually, but it has a more "pulled down" look so the face is partly hidden. I might do something about it, but then agin this hats are a pain in the ass to sculpt.
Damn, look what you have done now im planning on putting a rattling sniper sqaud in my army, going to convert them all ot of cadains too, got any tips on laying them down , I'm going to do giule suits on mine seeing as they are from a forest planet, O I might put two on a base one with a rifel out and the other with it on his back but with a spotter or binocs.
@Great Destroyer.
He he. Great to hear, be sure to post some pics of your work too. Well getting cadians to lay down flat on the ground and use a rifle is kind a hard. I find the best method is to start with the legs and chop them up so that they are laying flat, and looks natural(you can use any of the cadians legs). Then take a torso and just add it to the legs.
The tricky part is getting the head and arms right. I chopped of the whole neck thingy, that the cadians have on their torso. Drilled a new hole to get the head to fit. Then i scratch built the right arms(almost every one of them) just use some wireing to get the pose right and fill out with GS. hope this gives you an idea on how to make yours.
I think you would have to have a 60mm base to fit two snipers on one base. I also find it hard to get the cadians to lay straight after the rifle(like the Elysians), because they have to short arms
And now for the update:
Well i have started sniper 7&8 and they are 70% done.
I have also reconfigured my army list and it looks like i am only going to need 8 snipers so this is the last of them.
After i had added the straps to sniper 5&6, i decided to add one to sniper 1,2,3,4. Because i think it looks good
I am also considering going back and add some terrain to sniper 1&2 bases, as they are rather plain compared to the rest.
Sniper7: I had this idea of a sniper aiming out of a old shell hole in a wall. Well sniper7 is the incarnation of that idea. i going to add a hood to his head, and the right arm is very Wip.
Sniper6: Well as i started with the heroic "im runing with my rifle" pose. I had to finish with "i dont need to run, im though as nails anyway" pose.His hat is wip, besides from this he is almost done.
Looking good. The extent of Conversion on these models is awesome - as are the scenic bases... I can't wait to see them painted.
Personally I'd probably do Snipers 9 and 10 anyway. That way you've got a full squad should you ever choose to field them - Ratlings are 0-1 so it's not as if you'll ever need any more...

Well i have painted the snipers. They are still Wip, but i am nearly done. Just have to clean them up and add company, squad and army badges to them.
@Getz: Well i know i would like to do 9 and 10, but i am so eager to get this army on the table. So they would have to wait until i have finsihed my commander and 2 veteran squads.
Ok these look amazing painted my hat´s of for you lad marvelous work!!! keep it up and make 9&20 to
You, sir, you are simply a great converter and painter. Those snipers are simply wow. I really like the camo on the cloak, but I think I would have preferred that they wore some camo paint on the face, but they are great all the same without.

Drop your grav-chute, pop smoke, move out, and draw fire!
Man those are awesome snipers. Very well done, I love the realistic look, especially the way you did the boonie hats and the cloaks. Btw is that the vindicare assassian's rifle?
Those are bloody amazing man. I love the way the cloaks and boonie hats came out. I always wanted to do a special ops catachan jungle army like navy seals with hats and rolled up sleaves and clack gloves. Might still do that.....
MorningStar, they certainly look like the Vindicare rifles.
Wow. Simply "Wow". I especially like Sniper #7, it'll be hard convincing your opponent that he hasn't got a Cover save.
