Well, I have been working on some Catachan models for my Squad, The Eye Pokers. I did not took pictures of the first batch I made, but I still have to paint them. The second batch, I started taking pictures. More to come later! This model is my 'Standard Bearer'. While the banner has no real use on the game (at least not yet), I think it will demoralize my opponents... specially my arch-nemesis, the Chaos Cultists! The banner symbolic significance as follows:
Dual Green: Once painted, the background will represent The Green (a.k.a. Catachan Jungles)
Golden Laurels: Symbolizes the prosperity of Catachan over Chaos.
Irritated Eye of Horus: Once painted, it depicts the never ending struggle to burn the heretic and purge the unclean.
The Poking Hand of The Emperor: This continues to reassure humanity that the Holy Emperor will always continue to fight Chaos
Full Moon: The Emperor's Light breaking away the darkness of Chaos.
Enough seriousness... here are some pictures. The flag can be seen from both sides. Enjoy the pictures below... please forgive the quality, but I took them with my phone. Comments, suggestions and opinions welcomed!

Well, as much as I love to hijack my own thread ( ), here are some pictures (WiP) of the models I promised. I took those with my phone (again!), so they are not the best... but they will do!
Officers; Sgt. Salt, Lt. Barrent, Cpt. Lance, Lt. Marsellas, Sgt. Pepper. Note Lt. Barrent's right foot... it is his prosthesis (from a Necron foot!) Yes, I know; Salt & Pepper have no arms... I want to get them shutguns!
Medic; Jack "Speckles" Kevorkian I noticed, the head has an Apothecary tattoo on the forehead!
Recruit; Unnamed Vox Operator
Recruit; Unnamed Infantryman Old school metal model. I added the backpack (thanks Dozer! WAIT... It may be a bomb!) Love the pose.
Recruits; Unnamed Infantrymen Cannon Fodder!
Ogryn; Private First Class George Dush ... now with a Ripper gun, emmulating the YOO JOEEE! pose of the Captain!
Hired Gun, Demolition Expert; Specialist Dlown Tobits Metal model, with the 'required' booby traps! Close ups below!
Booby Trap 1; Secret Hide ut! Now with Free HBO! Com'n in Dozer... open the hatch and enjoy our deluxe accommodations!
Booby Trap 2; Free Chaos Heresy Bolter Hard to see, but that is a Chaos Heresy Bolter! Dozer was bitchin' that he had no good weapons... come on man, its free for the taking!
Booby Trap 3; Blending with the Environment Makes no sense now... but once finished, the mine will be blended with grass. Take a peek while you can!
Booby Trap 4; Souvenir Wandering what to give your Commanding Officer? Why not a Space Marine Mk VI helmet! Don't mind the rope attached to it and to the Krak Grenade (under the bushes!)
Booby Trap 5; Free Roadrunner Seed. You though I forgot the Kroot? No way, no how! Following the new Imperial edit to befriend all Xenos, here it comes... the newest development from Dr. Wil E. Coyot; the Kroot Feeder. Come chiky-chicky... the seeds are yummy!
The Eye Pokers! Complete Squad... more models to come.
Close up: The Eye Pokers! The first half...
Close up: The Eye Pokers! ... the second half...

Thanks guys!
@dwi: Man... you are too strict for quality control! Yes, I have not molded Leon 'The Groom' McClaine nor the Catachan Devil Master Drill Sergeant. The reason? I do not need them right away! I know... LAME!
For the Groom I wanted to use GW's Colonel 'Iron Hand' Straken model It is VERY sweet.
The model is perfect for the Groom... down to the last weapons and bionics. After we got the concept of the CDMDS, I was toying with the Special Character when DaBank threw in a bomb of a story. Yes, the one on TLRB... the biggest baddest 'grey box' ever! Using that as a guide, I made most of the character, then we all sat down to revise him (few things added, few things removed!) Once we were done, we happened to find the GW model... YIKES!
Since I'm on the converting mood, I may end up making my own. How? Don't know! I need shotguns!
