WiP white scar and ramblings

Afternoon readers, its been a few weeks since my last update and I must say I haven't really managed to accomplish much on the hobby front :| I personally blame work, Borderlands 2 and me much prefering to read to actually siting and hobbying of late.

However to appease that master of nagging known only as Rictus, i thought I would put up a WiP of my latest Horus Heresy themed model. I've abandoned the idea of doing the imperial fists, the yellow just takes too long and well bores me due t the many many layers you have to put down.

So given I dont want to do another red powerarmour force which rule sout Blood angels, the only siege of terra legion left is the white scars:

This guy has been rather fun, some GS work was done t add the legion symbol to the kneed pad and gauntlet as well as giving him a fur cloak the bottome half of which is taken from a spacewolf. Theres still a fair amount of work to be done on him but hes shaping up quite well.

Next up is a little more progress on the Inq28mm front, i've managed to do a little more sculpting work on the gene enhanced guardsman:

With Inq28mm I find that inspiration will suddenly hit but without it I do struggle for ideas, I'm not the best at thinking up the whole grim dark themes of 40k instead I draw alot of inspiration from comics, games and movies. Hell even music, the black metal music that I like is usually good for Chaotic inspiration.

My most recent purchases of the Borderlands 2 and Darksiders 2 artbooks have given me some ideas, in the case of borderlands the concept art for the varied types of bandits has filled me with ideas for necromunda or cultists. And the darksiders one has given me an idea for a archo flagellent/combat servitor.

Anyway thats enough of my rambling for now, I'll be back with an update during the week as my copy of sedition wars will be arriving tomorrow unless the tracking number lies........

Happy new year

Happy new year guys, hope you all had a good christmas too! My holiday period has been rather busy given I've only had Christmas day and now today off work which has sucked tbh.

I'm still working on my new years resolutions however I think my hobby ones will largely be:

• Paint more
• Post up on here more 
• Have a major sort out and cull of excess models
• Try game more

As to how many of these I will stick too is yet to be seen :P

Anyway here is a sneak peak of the few bits I actually worked on over christmas, both of which are inq28mm models as I finally had some inspiration hit me:

This guy is converted from the plastic nurgle lord, I have had him sitting around since 2011 and only now have figured out what to do with him :| , he will be soem sort of gene altered former guardsman in the service of the inquisitor. had to give him a massive drum assault shotgun too just because it seemed cool. He is still very WiP.

This is a reworking of an earlier attempt to use the plastic Dark elf sorceress, shee will have duel pistols. The body suit I gave her is largely inspired by the siren from Borderlands 2 the pistols will be converted from dark elf corsair crossbows.

Sadly theres been no painting over the christmas period as I generally havent had the tme to sit for prolonged periods putting down layers of yellow on the imperial fists :(

Well thats it for now I'll be back with another update before too long :) enjoy whats left of the holiday season

Red Corsair Sorcerer and the Great Heresy looms

Good evening readers,

Update time, been kept usy with work and christmas preparations of late which have served as a good break from hobbying for a while. However now Im back, and I bring 2 things in the update:

First up Corsair sorcerer now with paint:

I need to sort out the flames some more but they shall do for now as I dont want to over do the painting of the corsairs as I still have a fair few to do and dont really want to burn out :)


Next up we have thes WiP of a test model for my heresy era Imperial Fists:

I got quite a bargain off Ebay of 3 Mk IV and 8 Mk V marines all with phobes bolters and without a single trace of paint on them:

combine these with the legion MkIV squad I picked up at telford model shop as well as my section of the FW order Rictus recently placed and I think I'm pretty much sorted for infantry for a significant time haha.

Theres no truescaling going on with this guys as I dont really want to hack up resing incase i make soem major mistake and well these are planned around future games against Rictus and Nife neither of which will be doing anything truescale.

This guy is my first time painting something in pretty much pure yellow a colour I normally avoid like hellfire  however with me wanting to do a seige of terra themed mini force fists were the ones that appealed to me most as well Im not doign blood angels as that is just more red and White scars are a no as I hate painting white more than I hate painting yellow :P

Well thats it for now guys, with christmas getting closer updates will be sporadic though I shall attempt to get one mor ein before christmas day :)

Red Corsairs: Finished Sorcerer Conversion

Evening guys,

Quick update time, I've finally finished off the last bits of GS work on the sorcerer and got some better pics of him:

Really happy with this guy, hes turned out pretty much as I pictured him all those months ago when the images of the DV libby first popped up on the web. Time to get him undercoated and I will attempt to get him painted up over the next few days :)

Whilst I'm here, here is a sneak peak of the terminators I've been slowly converting, they have been truescaled but not to the level of work I do on the power armoured marines.
These guys just have a single 1mm piece of Plastic card in their shins and this is enough to make them stand slightly taller than the normal corsairs, saves me a fair bit of time too :

Still a long way to go on them, given I havent even started work on the other 2 out of the DV set yet :(
