Based and smoked

And now, these guys are done, or just about. I finished basing them, and did the smoke up to the best of my ability. I tried to leave a bit of yellow/red visible on the interior of the smoke by the nozzle. I think the overall effect is pretty decent.

A final mob shot:

I didn't add checkers or too much else on their equipment largely because I think it'd end up being way too noisy. As-is there's already a pretty decent spread of colors and details, and I think adding chekered strips on things like shoulder pads and equipment would detract from the hazard stripes. I am probably done with these guys for now.

What I would like is a decent name for the whole squad. I want to make a 'Counts-as' version of Zagstruk and Da Vulcha Boyz, meaning I need different names for both. I figure my 'Zagstruk' equivalent should have a gas mask like these boyz do, down the road. I'm thinking 'Da Blitz Gitz' right now, because I like the idea of them being orky drop troopers who come in from extremely high altitudes at an absurd speed. If I can settle on a name that has good glyph connotations, I may revisit the squad and add said glyph markings to all of their shoulder pads.

I will do Zagstruk a bit down the road for these guys. I'm probably going to scrap my old one, or at least hugely revise it, because I figure if I'm making a counts-as Zagstruk he shouldn't have vulture-power-klaw-feet but some other equivalent gimmick.
