Beautiful. I'm not amazed that many guys paint their bugs with these colours, it looks so great.

Most of the time I'm unconvinced by the "turn a 40K figure into an Epic unit" conversions, but your Harridan really looks like an Epic figure. The converted Dominatrix is cool too, though now it looks like a mean Heirodule

Some more infantry is heading my way right now. Also I've been pondering a bit what to do with the Virtuperator. I didn't originally plan to include this unit in the army but after hearing Neals suggestion for a conversion it got my attention: I was thinking of using the Red Terror torso with a Dominatrix neck and possibly some greenstuff for the tail. For the wings I might use another set of Morathi Pegasus wings or maybe something bigger. I noticed that the Balrog wings are fairly cheap (?6 for a pair) but they're also huge! Witht the wingspan of my Harridans ad rough?ly 10 cm I figured the Virtuperator might be acceptable with a wingspan up to 15 cm but that is becoming a pretty big flyer!
As a side note I noticed that the Broodlord and Tyrant Guard bodies I was planning on using for my Bio Artillery has gone up from ?3 to ?4 in the online store

I have a coulple of odd picture requests. I could really use a couple of comparison shots to give me some idea of the size of certain 40k scale components.
First off a comparison shot of a Broodlord body next to a Genestealer body.
I could also use a comparison shot of a set of plastic Balrog wings next to a Red Terror body...or at least a similarly sized unit.

A quick photoshoping of roughly what I had in mind. I think the Red Terror body is exactly the right size for what I had in mind. However I'm very concerned about the size of the wings. I don't mind them looking big - they're supposed to be able to carry the weight of the beast- but the question is how big is acceptable for a DC4 flyer. The FW T-hawk is massive so I think it might be acceptable to have the Vituperator even bigger considering it is an animal and less sturdily built than the heavily armoured T-hawk. Most of the size wil just be flappy skin on the wings anyway
I figure it might even be Manta sized. Although it has much less DC than the Manta it might be passable given the considerations above.

A plastic rhino or a warlord titan would be perfect thanks.
The Gulavhar looks nice but I don't suppose the wings are available seperately like with the Balrog wings?
