They are my Urban Grymn...a platoon of jump-pack assault troops. Once I had varnished them, I moved onto the next little job that has been sat in my cupboard for ages...my desert Tyranids. These needed basing and that is what I did:

The Warriors (big ones) and Gaunts (medium sized ones) just needed the bases painting but the Rippers (smallest ones) needed to have their bases made from scratch.

As you can see in the pic above, each of the Ripper bases has three Rippers on it. If you look at the pic on the far right above, you will see a Ripper lying on it's side; showing off the little magnet that holds it onto it's base. Each of the bases have magnets in them and each ripper has one on it's bottom; that means that they are removable so that each time the base receives a wound, one can be removed to represent it...it also means that I can make another batch of single bases if I need to change them onto individual bases for some reason.
Next up is a selection of Gaunts. These are Termagants with Genestealer claws:

Once these are varnished, the only troops on my painting shelf will be my Tunnel Fighters.
You may ask why I have been plodding along with this stuff. Well, I have had a torrid time with sleep and after I attempted to do a spot of sculpting, I not only dropped the mini a dozen times but also managed to stick the sculpting tool into my finger...so I thought I needed to work on something simple. That has led to me sorting out my cupboard and finishing off all of my basing/varnishing. I have also packed away my Temperate Grymn army into my new miniatures case from Kaiser Rushforth...which leaves space in it's previous case for the Nids to go into :).
It is all terribly logical when you look at it.
...so...Drop-ship...Lion Marines...Tunnel Fighters...varnishing...
...Mmmmmm...Drop-ship...
See you over the pulpit!

Very nice,keep up the good work.
Nice force shot. Any chance of a close-up of the big stompy robot thing?

It is a converted Bauhaus Vulkan battlesuit from the extinct Warzone range...the same mech that is in my Tunnel Fighter army :).
Great paint scheme on the Tyranids. Well done.
