Team OP: first unit based!

So today I finished basing my veteran unit.  I did these guys first because they don't really need much in the way of painting, so I figured I would just base them and get that out of the way.

 Here we see the first half of the squad.  My 'custom demo charge' is really just a bunch of frag grenades around a plasma pistol.  I think it works though, veterans probably wouldn't use standard issue demo charges.
 This is the rest of the squad.  You will notice I have three different kinds of melta gunners:  the old metal one, a custom job with a space marine gun, and the one from the command box.



 These closeups show off the models, sans flash.
This is my manticore.  It is completely finished, so I figured I would show it off here.
 I also did the base on my Valkyrie.  The model itself needs a bit of work.
 You might be able to tell that the cockpit area is a bit askew.  This led to the 'glass' parts not really going on right, so I've been trying to figure out a way to get things to line up better.
It turns out the problem was the head I used for the driver.  His hat was just too big, so it was time for a head swap.

More updates are still to come!  I'm hoping to get some playtesting done today or Sunday.
