From MikeA - First post - Cutting it close to the deadline! (26 Points)

My first entries in the painting challenge. I apologize in advance for the horrible quality of the pictures.

First up, Old Crow 15mm APC. I have a bunch of their stuff. Hopefully get it all finished during the challenge.



Next is a Daemonhost from Games Workshop. The newly released Imperial Agents codex has motivated me to finish off a bunch of older models.




Callidus Assassin from Games Workshop.

 A pair of old Games Workshop Servitors.







So that is one 15mm vehicle and four 28mm infantry for 26 points.  Not a great start, but a start.

Good afternoon Mike, really glad you could join us with your first entry. Cutting it close? Nah, you had a couple of days to spare! Are we on course for a full house before the cut, I wonder? These are some classic GW sculpts from the era when I played a lot of 40K. The Servitors look suitably dour for (mostly) mindless thralls, and Callidus assassin looks great, but is there a reason she's based differently to the others? And that Old Crow APC looks nice - what 15mm force will it be joining?  
With your pictures, have you tried a plain backdrop - just a sheet of plain paper works fine, and light from a couple of sources? It would be great if you could get some close ups for future entries. 
Welcome to the challenge, I look forward to seeing more!
Phil
