Please visit my blog to see a few pics of my first painted Devilfish:http://mickeysminis.blogspot.co.uk The camo on top of the grey areas matches the base, I may keep this across the whole army or just use it for scouts. Please give constructive comments. |

Thanks for those who have commented on the blog. In answer to Yorkie, the minis were bought direct from the US. I will also a pics with a Rhino for a size comparison. |

One thing I agonised over when preparing the mini was whether or not to remove the box that it sits on. I decided to keep it to reduce prep time and to be fair it isn't clearly seen. Am I right in thinking the box is a flight stand/base Don, or do you see this as an integral part of the mini? I will try to get some better pics today. |

You're correct - the box on the bottom is just a stand. I wanted to make it look like its hovering from your average view, but still give it a solid surface for gluing. |

Today I've added a post on my blog detailing how I make/paint bases/flight stands for my floating/flying minis: http://mickeysminis.blogspot.co.uk/ Here's a finished one. Note that is still attached to the cork I painted it on

My infantry bases arrived today from Fenris Games, they are fantastic, thanks to them and those who recommended them. I will start work on these (and the infantry) soon. |

I also use bases from Fenris. They are great. I like the base and the colors used  I always struggle with my basing theme and color choices. |

What shape are you going with? I'm toying with the idea of having Fenris (or anyone else with a laser cutter) cutting some custom shapes for my Tau... |

I've completed my first Fire Warrior units, I couldn't wait to work with my new minis/bases (both of which are fantastic). I've uploaded a few pics to my blog:http://mickeysminis.blogspot.co.uk/ These Onslaught minis were a joy to work with, very little cleaning up and very easy to paint. I hope the Avians are just as good. I can also recommend the Fenris Games Bases, I used FGPLYEPIC25, customised with 4 holes, not 5. Here are a couple of pics, lots more on the blog.
