…over a ruined Imperial City.

Flying amongst the ruins of an Imperial City. From a relatively recent game.
I never did like the Specialist Games Deth Kopta so I decided some time ago to make my own.
They are made from buggies without wheels, a bit of sprue and some plastic strip.
I am currently using a flying base which is way too large.
Here is a flight of Deth Koptas from a recent game.
They performed well, though my opponent was somewhat confused over what they were. Were they vehicles or were they infantry.
Bikes can be confusing even more so when they are akin to Jetbikes like the Deth Koptas.
No real solution, but I may be tempted to use them as Wartrakks rather then Warbikes.
This is quite a simple model to paint.
Starts off with a black undercoat, drybrush of Tin Bitz and then a lighter drybrush of Boltgun Metal.
The rotor blades are painted with Bleached Bone and will be getting a highlight of Skull White.
At this point I am happy for it to be used in a game.
Final details will be adding some copper and bronze to various components, painting the dials and seat, as well as giving the machine some glyphs and details on the tail.
I really like this model, I now have a squadron of three and may get some more in the future, maybe to convert into a heavy version.
