Many Machines on Ix… New Machines…

So I have been painting lots of Reaper CAV models for many purpose Trilaterum and Horizon wars and Future War Commander.  I did the kickstarter and had lots to choose from.  One of my complaints in the bones is the warping that some pieces have.  I have done the boiling water / ice water straightening and though it helped, I did find that some did revert back tot he warping.  I Also found that cleaning the mold lines was more difficult  that I had envisioned.  For priming I tried spray primers and paint on gesso.  I found that if I spray primed a coat of testors dullcoat would remove the stickiness that some primers left.  I did find a primer that primed perfectly flat with no stickiness problems that was super cheap at Lowes.  
So without further ado here are the models.  Ignore my basements backdrop.  🙂
