These guys have some subtle differences from the standard suits. I've added cut down broadside battlesuit shoulder pads to their left arms. This is to mimic fire warriors but also make them different to the normal suits. I've also sculpted my armies Sept symbol onto their right shoulder pads. The fore arms are from one of the FW variants and the weapons themselves are magnetized so I have some flexibility with them.</div>

I'm going to have a break from battlesuits for a while now so expect to see some infinity, deadzone and antares stuff before long.Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-29780349627242243522016-03-20T14:58:00.001+00:002016-03-20T14:58:39.510+00:00Tau Empire: Crisis Battle suit squad 2Afternoon guys and girls,<br /><br />Small update for you today. I've been busy working away on the 2nd Crisis suit squad for the tau over the course of the past few months. Painting time is rather limited of late as I'm working 6 day weeks and I'm often too tired of a night to really focus on doing much :(<br /><br />Anyway onto pictures:<br />

Although they take an absolute age to paint I do get a rather accomplished sort of feeling when I see the whole squad done and out together. I still need to sort out drones for both these guys and the first squad I did.<br /><br />New in the line Crisis suit wise are 2 bodyguards and the commander. The commander has been worked on since the finecast version first launched.......yes I'm slow.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
On the work bench currently is this beast, who I have had for 2 years now. I finished sorting out the magnets in his arms and on the guns last night so I can crack on with getting the rest of him painted.<br />

I just can't get excited about painting the stuff for it. So for once I will actually be sitting out of a project the rest of the Irregulars are working on.<br /><br />Needless to say to celebrate clearing out a bunch of models I bought more.......<br /><br />I have had my eye on The Beyond the Gates of Antares stuff for a while and with space freed up I took the plunge and bought the starter set. I find my interest in 40K as mentioned many times on here before to be very low so the more high sci fi look of Antares does appeal quite a lot.<br /><br />So here are the first 3 Concord Strike Troopers:<br />

I have had a lot of fun with these and have tried to weather them up quite a bit. I still have another 2 and a spotter drone to do to finish this squad. And a further 15 to finish up their half of the starter box.<br /><br />I already have my eye on a few concord bits to expand the starter set but for once I will attempt to get the starter set painted before adding in anymore.Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-33875323484153286972016-03-02T19:38:00.002+00:002016-03-02T19:38:30.953+00:00Tau Empire: Vespid StingwingsEvening guys and girls,<br />
<br />
First of all thanks for all the feedback on my previous post, I think in my time blogging only the Sons of Sek I made years back have proved more popular :)<br /><br />
Quick mid week update her, I recently picked up a set of finecast Stingwings to add to my Tau for a little variety. Being Finecast I've had a bit of a crack at re-positioning them:<br />

<br />I've heated their legs and wings up with boiling water to try and get some more dynamic poses. They are on 30mm bases too as the standard 25mm ones just seemed too small. I've enjoyed these so much I'm considering getting another set to add to them.<br /><br />They may not be massively good in game but as ever the rule of cool wins out with me.<br /><br />In other news I've had the below turn up over the past few days:</div>

<br /><br />At the suggestion of word bearer I picked up a set of sicarians, and to feed my addiction to concept art books I picked up the ones for mad max and the force awakens.<br />
<br />
Theres already a few things I'd like to use for inspiration from them such as the sketches of the knights of Ren and the concept art for Immortan Joe from mad max.<br /><br />I'm beginning to mull over returning to The Ammobunker to chart the slaaneshii warband but given my notoriously short attention span I'm not sure it would be worth it.....<br /><br /><br />

<div>
Apologies for my prolonged absence in between being busy and not really having much to post I have neglected this place.<br /><br />The sculpting muse has returned to me a bit of late and I've been able to do a little work on a few bits. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The INQ28 muse has also returned some what which has let me do some work on one of my more recent ideas which was a dark mechanicus warband. Some of you will remember the gluttony inspired Magos I was working on before, He is still on going, I have however been working on a sidekick for him:</div>

She is rather WiP still and one of the more involved conversions I have attempted in quite a while. concept wise she was inspired by this artwork:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/33/98/b3/3398b3be5b421ba9921c04d0c5ed99d8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/33/98/b3/3398b3be5b421ba9921c04d0c5ed99d8.jpg" width="263" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /><br />Concept wise she is more of the traditional Slaanesh as seduction/perfection. The open robes will show glimpse of her mechanical torso so polished silver. So where as a human servant of Slaanesh may show off sculpted muscles and the perfect body she will instead be showing off master crafted bionics.<br /><br />Her head is actually a face stapled on top of her bionics that will be painted quite pale, She has a neuro toxin gauntlet on her one arm and I need to sort out a weapon for the topp of the staff. The snake itself will be cut off and used on the model as a mechanical pet.<br /><br />I plan on adding a small servo arm to her and a bit more slaaneshii bling and artifice. A lot of the them will likely come over more in the paint job.<br /><br />I'm rather proud of her but I feel a bit rusty sculpting wise so theres some areas that will need a second pass.<br /><br />I'm currently planning out some minions to accompany her and the magos. Likely some skitarii types and such. I'm open to any suggestions so feel free to fire away.<br /><br />Thats it for now, I shall hopefully be back next week :)</div>

Next up Tau wise will be another squad of 3 crisis suits, they may well be a few weeks out yet so I will have some other bits and pieces to show during that time.<br /><br />I'll be at the Horus Heresy weekender in just over a weeks time too along with fellow irregulars Rictus, Nife and Grizz. For once I actually don't plan on picking up anything bar some Heavy gun drones... yes Tau at a heresy even how strange haha.<br />

<br />
<br />
Bit of a retro post for you tonight, as I mentioned before I have been having quite a large clear out of hobby related things. In the bottom of one of the boxes I found an old little warband that I thought some of you may like to see:<br />

<br /><br />These are old now scarily old when I think about it. I first made these for the Ammobunkers Gamesday participation game in what has to be 2008.... It was a zombie kill team game with small warbands attempting to escape a world where the ad mech have accidentally released a virus. Was a great little concept and marked my first time helping out at a Games Day participation game.<br /><br />These guys were made in the infancy of my journey into sculpting so to my older and wiser eyes look incredibly crude.<br />

I may well have to try make an updated version of this warband for a bit of a challenge, would be interesting to see how 8 years of additional hobbying experience would look compared to these.<br /><br />Anyway thats it for now, I'll be back over the weekend </div>

<br />
Have more of a reflective post today. I've been busy the past few weekends sorting though the back catalogue of armies and bits and having a mass cut back. Some of this has gone to good causes such as that fiendish Dane Rasmus. Others have gone to model heaven also known as the bin.<br /><br />Amongst the things I have been sorting I have found my inq28 stuff. These have languished for months as the sculpting muse has all but left me.<br />

I had a brief return to form and productivity with Frostgrave. But of late I have been more at home simply painting.<br /><br />I often look on blogs such as the <a href="http://convertorum.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Convertorum</a>, <a href="http://www.exprofundis.com/" target="_blank">Ex Profundis</a> and forums like the <a href="https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjF2Zas5LDKAhVMBBoKHaYpBrEQjBAIJjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fs3.zetaboards.com%2FThe_Ammobunker%2Fforum%2F3012278%2F&usg=AFQjCNFsvH67EsnIc2pa5nH95utupXDQFQ&sig2=34-W_CsEfkFxWBVgrldw9w&bvm=bv.112064104,d.ZWU" target="_blank">ammobunker</a> and see all the fantastic work going on. It will give me the urge to make something but its quickly dissipates.<br /><br />I don't think I have the imagination or connection as much these days with the whole grim dark universe. Maybe its too long getting more involved in high sci-fi stuff like infinity or deadzone or maybe its me working on the again high scifi looking Tau for so long.<br /><br />Either way the muse seems to have left me and I can do no more than look on the great work going on enviously knowing that the minute I attempt to make something I hit the brick wall.<br />

You will see form the pictures of old models I have put up just how close they all are to completion, but I just can't get them done. My guess is they will have to languish in model purgatory for a fair while longer...<br /><br /><br />Rather negative post I know but its a topic that has been in my head for a while.<br /><br />On a more positive note, with some Christmas money and a voucher given to me by Nife and his other half I made my first purchase of 2016:<br />

This is my 3rd completed squad of Fire Warriors, and they are still some of my favourite sculpts by GW. I still have 1 box of the 12 man fire warrior team stashed away for future use, I think it was a bad idea on GWs part to put the new box out with 2 less troopers and then hike the cost massively but ill go into that more when I post the breachers up......<br /><br />Anyway that's it for this rather quick update, I shall likely be back during the week with a small update.<br /><br />Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-78762784425887870712016-01-01T13:54:00.000+00:002016-01-01T13:54:13.001+00:00Happy New Year and a Cadre FirebladeHappy New Year guys and girls,<br /><br />As ever the festive period flies by especially when you work retail and spend most of it at work....2015 wasn't the greatest of years for me so I'm hoping 2016 will bring with it better times.<br />

I feel like I'm getting there with the Tau, infantry wise I don't have much left to paint. The main project for the new year for them will be mass battlesuits.<br /><br />Speaking of the new year I figured I would give something a go that I have seen on many other blogs and forums before. A track of everything painted for the year as well as models purchased, I hope it will give me a bit of a kick to try break the large back log of models and projects and stop me from adding much more to the pile.<br /><br />I've added a little column to the right hand side of the blog to keep track of it all :)<br />

<br />
I have a quick mid week update for you tonight.<br />
<br />
My Heresy era Word Bearer force is still bubbling away in the background. Its not a current priority if I'm honest. The Tau and assorted board games are currently ahead of it in the painting queue.<br />
<br />
However with the release of the plastic heresy kits and Nife and Rictus both getting the set I ended up buying the plastic chaplain off Rictus. I planned to make it into a Dark apostle for the force, here is progress so far:<br />

I've cut the front of his helmet off and replaced it with the one from a dark vengeance chosen, as I will run him as a Diabolist it works rather well. In keeping with the tactical marines I have done so far I've added a little chaos style trim to his one leg and the legion symbol to his chest.<br /><br />Need to sort out his Cronzius and tidy him up a bit more and he will be good to paint. What do you guys think?</div>

<br />Must admit I've been rather distracted from posting of late, with the Christmas rush on much of my time is taken up by work. Then you had the added distractions of Halo 5 and Star Wars: Battlefront.<br /><br />I have however been working away on stuff in the back ground and have enough finished bits and pieces for a few updates.<br /><br />Today I present the first squad of Crisis Suits for my Tau, now although I have had Tau since they first released I have always been sparse on the battlesuit side due to never really being a big fan of the plastic kit.<br /><br />This has changed since I got my hands on some cheap XV9 suits, I love the aesthetic of them look more alien than the plastics:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br /><br />The repainting and reworking of my Tau has been going on since around 2008(yes I'm that slow) but it seems to me that I'm growing nearer and nearer completion. With the recent Tau release I only added a squad of Breachers and a Ghostkeel to my back log with the backs of the breachers already being broken.<br />
<br />
Much of that back log is simply suits and vehicles the infantry core of the army actually being finished. Its getting quite scary being so close to finishing a force....<br />
<br />
I'm working on quite the variety of stuff at the moment so as well as a few more Tau focused updates expect Dungeon Saga, Frostgrave, Bloodrage and Infinity to appear along the way, here's a WiP:<br />

<br />
Been quiet in here again of late, must say I've been rather busy in real life with work and a trip to Stockholm the other week.<br /><br />I however have a few things to show for this update and a few saved for a more Deadzone themed one over the weekend.<br /><br />First up we have some work in progress skeletons for the random encounters table:<br />

These are some of the mantic ones I have left over from my Dungeon Saga Revenant conversions. They are pretty fun to paint, fairly quick too. going to be doing about another 4 or so of them to cover me for the table.<br /><br />Next up we have the next member of my Necromancer warband an infantryman:<br />

It works quite well.

This time its some of the monsters from the random encounters table.<br />
<br />
I've had my eye on some Reaper Bones miniatures for a while mainly to see what the quality is like, I took the plunge and ordered a great worm, hell hound and some spiders(not in this update). I've been really impressed with the quality of the models especially for such a low price point.<br /><br />Needless to say I've been painting up the great worm:<br />

I've had this model lying around for at least 4 years, good to finally use it. Background wise it will represent a vampiric noble woman who was frozen during the cities fall. A lot of work to do on her.<br /><br />After the vampire I plan to paint up 2 demons:<br />

Both of these are reaper minis, the hound being a bones one and the other metal. I really love the flame elemental its a great sculpt.<br /><br /><br />I have also made a lot of progress on some Deadzone terrain and have even finished painting my cypher prime. Will pop those up during the week.<br /><br />As ever thanks for looking :)</div>

<br />
Another late update but as is becoming more common these days I've been rather busy. The promised stormcast still aren't quite finished either...<br />

Anyway yet again my hobby time has been spent on a bit of sculpting and gathering scenary for Frostgrave. Now given you can play it on a 2' x 2' board I shouldn't need to acquire too much, I'll be recycling some old LOTR ruins I still have and have also won a few lots on eBay for some rather nice terrain.<br /><br />I have also purchased a piece of prepainted terrain from an eBay seller who has quite a range of stuff designed for Frostgrave take a look <a href="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/nannyogg999/Frostgrave-/_i.html?_fsub=10801938012&_sid=40475332&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322">here</a>.<br /><br />The below is from the same seller I have just added snow and the bits of greenery to it:<br />

Now Frostgrave is really letting me flex an idea of mine from years ago, during a time when I was toying with trying to write a fantasy type novel I came up with a sort of necromantic Empire type faction. Not straight up evil but not good sort of anti hero types.<br /><br />Now they of course had both living and undead troops, with the elite praetorian types becoming wights after death to continue service. So my first warband is a necromancer and minions who will represent an emissary and his entourage investigating the ancient ruins.<br />
<br />
Here are the first few:<br />

These have been fun to work on, they are based on a range of kits we have Perry Foot knights, Fireforge Teutonic Infantry and some arms and weapons from the Northstar Frostgrave soldier sprue. Been quite a change working on truescale 28mm models.<br /><br />Anyway thats it for now, I shall return next week with fingers crossed the stormcast...............Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-21746407383707039242015-08-30T20:36:00.002+01:002015-08-30T20:36:57.362+01:00Skaven: WiP Converted plague monksEvening guys and girls,<br />
<br />
Actually getting an update out on time this week, shocking isn't it.<br /><br />I'm still quite "in the zone" sculpting wise of late so this update is again quite GS heavy. I have been converting a set of Skaven clanrats into plague monks for what was planned as a christmas gift for the diabolical Mr Feral...<br />
<br />
He however has found out and I have blasted through nearly 5 of them already so figured I'd pop them up here:<br />

I have really been enjoying these, the small scale of the skaven plus all the fabric work makes them quite quick to do. Hopefully they will encourage Feral to continue on with his rather great looking skaven as seen <a href="https://circusofpaint.wordpress.com/">HERE</a>.<br />

I have read an awful lot of positive things about the game online and for a tenner on amazon I think it was well worth the punt. After having a bit of a flick through it looks like a really nice little RPG skirmish game.<br /><br />I'm planning to make 2 warbands, 1 will be a necromancer themed one and the other will be a chronomancer. More on these soon.........<br /><br />I should have an update mid week with the first finished stormcast unit, as I type they only need last few finishing touches.Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-32201914804282279312015-08-23T14:28:00.003+01:002015-08-23T14:28:57.333+01:00Dungeon Saga: Converted Liche KingAfternoon guys and girls,<br />
<br />
I've been kept busy in real life again so haven't had too much to show hobby wise. Today will hopefully change that as I have a real labour of love to show and even some process pics.<br /><br />A while ago now Nife suggested that it may make an interesting post to show a stage by stage almost, break down of how I convert. Given I am still slowly working away on models to supplement what I'll be getting in the kickstarter I figured a dungeon saga model would make a good subject.<br /><br />I decided to make a Liche King whose rules should hopefully be in the adventurers companion, he will be a boss type monster. The 2 wraiths I have shown before will sort of be his body guard who will spawn with him.<br /><br />First up here is the near finished model:<br />

<br /><br />Given Liches are almost zombies just with full intelligence and magic power I figured a mantic zombie torso would be the best place to start.the one reaching out being ideal to show him casting a spell.<br /><br />This movement influenced the flow of his robes and the like, after my experience making the wraiths I knew i'd be able to pull of the flowing robes, so a few sculpting sessions later I arrived at this:<br />

With the lower body sorted from here it was just a case of adding the armour and other details to the torso, sadly I don't have any pics of that process :(<br /><br />I have found these dungeon saga pieces to be a really good outlet for my creativity, I can go to town on stuff without having to worry about having to replicate it across an entire army. My next project for it after finishing fleshing out the additional undead choices will be some Twilight Kin(Dark Elves),<br /><br />For these I plan on converting some plastic Perry miniatures foot knights with some GS additions, and if I feel brave scratch sculpted heads.....wish me luck :P<br />

<br />Right in my final shout out of this post and old friend of mine from back in my days of being Active on the Ammo Bunker and who was one of the ones to talk me into a blog has returned.<br />
<br />
After 3 years of hiatus Foot_of_Adhesive_Tape has finally returned to blogging:<br />

Evening guys and girls,<br />
<br />I have been quiet of late, again due to having a lot going on in real life. Including a week in Scotland for the wedding of 2 very good friends of mine.<br /><br />In that time a milestone for this blog has passed. My little corner of the internet has been going for 5 years now, give or take a few hiatuses which im sure can be forgiven. scary how fast time flies by I remember the day that Mr Feral and Foot_of _adhesive_tape first nagged me to start a blog like it was yesterday.<br /><br />Since then I have withdrawn from the forums along with most of my original hobby mates, most of whom have blogs now too.<br /><br />5 years has seen me drift away from GW being the core of my hobbying and has seen me start and fail a legion of projects, but the enjoyment of toy soldiers is still there. I'd like to thank anyone who takes the time to read or comment on my ramblings, know that it is appreciated.<br /><br />Obviously due to being busy the past few weeks I haven't had much hobby time however here is the state of my stormcast eternal production line:<div>

<br /><br />I picked up the new gold base paint which is helping speed these guys along. I should hopefully have this first unit of them done quite soon.<br /><br />In other news whilst up in Scotland I had chance to grab a quick game of FoW and got talking to Dave about visiting more often and actually gaming. This lead to a purchase:<br /><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGAxPQCv4Qn1LQYEsAi0hN476Vh__awriVMnJpFpAlfZTQD0sV2Y1kWkuDO_A99aJYCaipjGppKaJLEzrYITZQCeQd-4Zb7Gch20Gv0m4Dp8stOxDxkZloLWibY8KX5ekQ6_FzzNroNA/s1600/DSC01267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGAxPQCv4Qn1LQYEsAi0hN476Vh__awriVMnJpFpAlfZTQD0sV2Y1kWkuDO_A99aJYCaipjGppKaJLEzrYITZQCeQd-4Zb7Gch20Gv0m4Dp8stOxDxkZloLWibY8KX5ekQ6_FzzNroNA/s400/DSC01267.JPG" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Dave has moved more to the historical side of the spectrum so I've decided to paint up a very small bolt action force. likely to be the above boxset plus a few bits and a single tank. To spur us on we have a gentlemans agreement to complete at least 1 bolt action model per month (given how easily distracted we both are 1 will be hard).<br /><br />I've gone with the SS as I have a force of them for FoW and camo is rather fun to paint. Go check out Daves Blog and spur him on <a href="http://hmdhobby.blogspot.com/">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
Well that is it for now, I may have an update in the coming days as my Anvil Industries Kickstarter has been dispatched :)</div>

I watched it from a distance having only a passing interest in fantasy, I figured I would wait and see how it turned out.<br /><br />Having read a lot of the fluff I must say I don't mind it, certainly a blank canvas to work with and has actually captured my imagination. Its been a long time since GW did that for me, its been more the territory of Mantic and Corvus Belli over recent years.<br /><br />Now at the FW open day I had a good look at the models and really liked them, the stormcast eternals heavily remind me of the Angels from the Darksiders series of games (<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/47/f0/1f/47f01fbd79d64ef30704a4a4eec1f978.jpg">HERE</a>) I loved the art style of that series.<br /><br />Now one of my normal partners in crime appeared at this point. Nife wanted the chaos models to paint so it was agreed that we would split a starter set. As it turns out we have both bought a starter set............<br />

This has been really fun to work on, I've never painted a model virtually entirely in metallic. I have tried to go a bit darker and grittier on these instead of the ultra bright gold of the GW studio ones. A nice turquoise for colour and we are all good.<br /><br />I've added some broken arrows, blood and cut some damage into the shield again to help with the more gritty aspect.<br /><br />I will be working gradually on the sigmar side of the starter over the coming months, will use them as a test bed for some techniques I want to try.<br /><br />However I am off to Scotland tomorrow for the wedding of a very good friend of mine High Marshal Dave, so will be a week or so before any more painting progress will be made. Until then feel free to let me know what you think :)Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-77379275148541301922015-07-12T17:32:00.000+01:002015-07-12T17:32:13.828+01:00Mars Attacks: Martian GruntsEvening guys,<br />
<br />
Normal update time, must admit that again this week I haven't actually got too much done. With the weather being nicer its not really the time to stay indoors painting haha.<br />
<br />
I have however managed to finish off 10 martian grunts, this takes me to 15 out of the 20 in the boxed game completed now:<br />

<br />
they don't look the greatest in close ups but I'm really happy with them considering they are effectively board game pieces.<br />
<br />
All I'm left with to paint from the core boxed game now is 5 martians, 5 US marines and about 5 human heroes.......... tantalizingly close.<br />
<br />
I've been doing a little sculpting over the past week too, one thing I've worked on will be the subject of next weeks post so I won't show it. The other is the start of an infinity conversion:<br />

This is the WiP of a G:Synched Order Sergeant and her Aux bot. <br /><br />The conversion is based on an Auxilia model, I have started adding the details to tie her to my existing order sarges the tabard is just the core I will build upon. <br /><br />Because this is one of the earlier infinity models her rifle was ridiculously oversized so I have hacked it right down and intend to resculpt it to be more inline with the other Order Sarges. This should prove quite a nice little challenge.<br />
<br />
In other infinity news I'm trying to paint the last model from the Military orders Sectorial starter box over the next week or 2, again this will mark a big milestone of me actually finishing a full boxset.<br /><br />Anyway thats it for now, I'll be back next week for the normal updateMaelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-7251536859779048702015-07-06T19:44:00.002+01:002015-07-06T19:44:38.329+01:00Deadzone terrain WiPEvening guys and girls,<br />
<br />
I'm a bit behind updating wise, been busy the last couple of weekends with a meet up with Rictus and Nife and then the Forgeworld Open day yesterday.<br /><br />Speaking of the last meet up we got some games of deadzone terrain and after seeing the stuff Nife had built it gave me a bit of a kick up the arse. So I have been painting the test building I made a while back:<br />

Now theres still a lot to do on it but I think it works rather well, and luckily for me the areas that I filled are quite hard to spot.<br /><br />Thats pretty much all the hobbying I have done these past few weeks, well bar some Martians but they will likely show up on Sundays post.<br /><br /><br />
I'm likely to do a bit more worth on my Tau soon for the first time in at least a year. Main kick for this was seeing this at the open day yesterday:<br /><br />

Now its quite rare for me to see a model and think "Must have that", but that battlesuit is a thing of beauty. Dependent on how much FW are charging for it I will likely add one as the final model for the Tau.<br /><br />Oh yeah may have actually bought a few bits for the Word Bearers too.............Maelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-46132047962345078682015-06-21T22:18:00.001+01:002015-06-21T22:18:54.768+01:00Dungeon Saga WiP Wraiths & a little ChaosEvening guys and girls,<br />

Small update for you tonight, I've been in more of a sculpting mood this past week and have been working on a couple of things a bit more involved than the renegade conversions.<br /><br />I've been working on a pair of Wraiths for use with Dungeon saga, they are quite involved sculpting wise:<br />

The top half of each of them is a stock mantic skeleton, the lower half is entirely scratch sculpted. Theres still a way to go on these but I have really enjoyed doing a more involved sculpting project again.<br />

This guy is rocking a heavy stubber, now although there are no rules for this in assassinorum I figure he will provide an option should I want to use it in INQ28 or Necromunda.<br /><br />Well thats about it for this update, I will likely be back with some more martians during the weekMaelstromhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11672161289755044130noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-433432803412737686.post-56521889056303531232015-06-14T17:06:00.001+01:002015-06-14T17:06:50.093+01:00Infinity Hsien & WiP terrainAfternoon guys and girls,<br />

They should add a bit of colour to urban terrain and a bit of cover too.<br /><br />Well thats it for this rather quick update, I shall be back with more next week more than likely a combination of more chaos renegades and some dungeon saga bits and pieces :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Missed my normal Sunday update due to being busy on the day. So to make up for that we have a weekday update haha<br /><br />I've had a bit of an itch to do some fantasy models this past week, not quite sure where its come from. Originally I was considering making a random mordheim model. But figured it would be a waste of time.<br /><br />So instead I've carried on doing some early work on some models to use with Dungeon Saga(which is getting closer and closer).<br /><br />First up is a painted skeleton, its fairly basic paint job that i'll be adding too eventually:</div>

Fun little model to paint, must admit i'm quite a fan of Mantics Undead range and the undead bits that will be coming with Dungeon saga look even better.<br /><br />Next up I've done some more work on a few more skeletons and the Wight King:</div>

As I've mentioned before my plan with these preemptive bits is to make use of the adventurers companion that Kickstarter backers get. This basically will contain dungeon saga rules for the full range of undead mantic do. Thus the skeletons will be revenants and then the wight king a revenant king.<br /><br />I still intend to do some wraiths and a few ghouls too.<br /><br />Anyway thats it for now, I'll be back with another update over the weekend :)</div>

I've mainly been working on some Chaos traitor guard. My idea being to do a rogues gallery of enemies so 5 or 6 traitor guard, some cultists maybe a few mutants.<br /><br />So there are some of the chaos guard so far:<div>

These guys are largely based on the plastic chaos cultists with heads from the skitarii sprue, the guy at the bottom is based on a spare cadian and a gun off an empire kit.<br /><br />I feel I've finally settled on the right sort of look for chaos guard, suitably feral and back wards looking with the furs, leather armour and rag tag appearance, but also a bit futuristic with the skitarii helmets and other bits.<br /><br />Might actually be happier with them than my old Sons of Sek. I figure they can run duel duty with Inq28 too.<br /><br />Next up a little progress on one of the chaos marines:</div>
