Like the list. Is a good use of the bits from the box.
Looking forward to seeing the Sentinel.

You could always magic in a few pairs of legs that were "in the box when I bought it" *cough-not-a-lie-cough*

So first up Sentinel, pretty standard, with lowered exhausts, and basic paint - it will end up in the Berlin Brigade type camo the tanks have

I like the lowered exhausts, much more suited to a vehicle that's supposed to be used for reconnaissance.

Also started on the basics of a list, despite not allocating most of the weapons it's already 600pts

Carapace
Camo
Krak
Commander
Melta Bombs
Vet 1
Medic

Sentinel's looking good. Like the lowered exhaust.
Is that a custom base?

Bionics is a clever solution there. Like that a lot.

sticking with the (almost) everything from one box it's mainly sprue that I've cut up with clippers while watching tv plus some odds and ends from the bits box

So first Heavy Weapons team build plus first bit of paint (literally) slapped on.
Trying the Digits approach of 'story telling' on larger bases, again mainly chopped up sprue to stick with the 'only use stuff from the box' (ish)

They will stand out a bit more when they're finished, as they'll get highlighting, but the base parts won't

Pretty effective mate - I like it. Good poses on the guys too.

On the rubble, add a little sand between a few bricks (painted the same colour) etc for more realism but pretty sweet as is.

I really like the heavy weapon teams it looks really like they are hiding in city rubble.
I look forward to see the finished storm troopers and how they will end up looking. How are you going to make the hellguns? :)

Trim down a lasgun, add cable to the backpack, see what else I can add - I have built one before and used the grip from a bolter, as I'm trying to stick to stuff from the box I may see if I can recreat a grip either carving plastic or pressing into GS
