When I returned from my travels, I found that a parcel had arrived and in it were some minis from the Twilight creator; Mike Thorp. I have been sworn to secrecy over two of the minis but I can tell you that they are very, very nice... you may see a certain Enuk in the pic further down this post (I'm sure he won't mind me showing that one off...well, I hope not!)...
...while we're on the subject of the pic, it shows the first work for ages on my desert veterans:
Click the Pic!
I have started to bulk up the existing troops with extra water bottles and pouches. Most of them already had their hats sculpted about a year ago but a few still needed them adding. The pic shows the first squad of a platoon. Five have had extra pouches and bottles added (they just need buttons) and five are awaiting the same treatment. I have a total of 40 of these to do.
You can also see a scale pic (at the bottom) of an Enuk next to the leader of the squad. I think it will make a really nice cavalry mount and I have a selection of armoured ones in the post ready to join this one when they arrive. I think that the riders will take a lot of converting...but I'm sure I'll think of something!
That's it for now!
See you on the other side.

"Enuks are NOT Taun Tauns"
love the desert troopers... i presume you're cutting legs of some grymn to make riders?
I know they aren't Taun Tauns but they ARE pretty damn cool :).
I have bought a hand full of Voltan and Gustavs to use as riders and am hoping to convert the legs in some way to get them to fit (cut/bend). If I can't do that, then it will be a case of sculpting a bunch of legs to fit the Enuk and then adding Grymn bodies to them. I envisage a lot of work whichever way I have to do it.
These little fellas are cool - I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with the Enuk riders.
I presume you're thinking IG Rough Riders with regards your army building process. Are you going to give them explosive head lances?
After seeing your 'Dress a Kev' over on the FOD and other bits and pieces of putty pushing you've done I'm expecting them to be fabulous!
No pressure though :D
The organisation is based on the older Imperial Guard Codex (the one with Doctrines). That allows me to take 5-10 Rough-riders with las-pistol & CCW (replacing either with a hunting lance)...at the moment I am not planning on using the lances but it will depend more on how the conversion process goes than the rules...so I won't rule it out at the moment.
With regards to how they will look, the good thing is that I like the Enuks and the Grymn so it is likely that I'll want to put the effort in...that's all I can say for now.
Cheers!
Very cool inso, very cool! I am amazed the progres you have made on these guys- cant wait to see the finished platoon!
