Wracks..............well a single Wrack :P

Morning readers, time for another quick update I had promised zombies last time but unfortunately I got distracted, you can all blame that villainous Mr Feral for this, as I was talking to him on MSN the other day and mentioned that i had an idea for converting some Wracks from the new Dark Eldar codex mainly as their wont be any models available to represent them for a while, he of course told me to make it so I have:







He is based off an empire flagellent with a lot of GS work drawing heavily from the art work in the Dark Eldar codex, so he sports an iron mask, an additional spine and random drug dispensers plugged directly into his swollen back.

He is a little rough around the edges but hes only a test model after all If I decide to to a force of DE he will get tidied up and might gain some friends :P

So what do you think guys?

For the Dark Gods

Evening readers time for another update :P

I'm still plodding away at updating my old Word Bearers army and now have another 3 marines to show you, including the champion of the squad:










For the champion I used the power fist from the chaos lord kit had to cut down the middle finger so as it matched more with the rest of the fingers, I also decided to have a go at doing some gore dripping from the fist using some small strands of Green stuff dont think it turned out to badly :)

I'm still working on converting the mantic zombies too, will hopefully have a few of them to show in a couple of days time, speaking of zombies I picked up this the other day:



Few of my friends have told me to read it so I thought I would, will give me some inspiration for zombies models. I'm spoilt for choice with inspiration at the moment what with the Walking Dead being on tv now too, saw the firs episode last week on FX and loved it, quite looking forward to episode 2 tonight.

well thats it for now, should have another update in a few days time possibly with Dark Eldar in the near future if I can decide if I want to buy some or not

The zombie Apocalypse begins

Evening readers, time for an update from me , last time I gave a bit of a sneak peek at the first of my survivors for my zombie apocalypse stuff, well today you get to see the first zombie :D

On Saturday I ordered Mantics 30 model Zombie regiment and today they arrived so of course I had to set straight to work on making a test model :P . Now I wanted to test 2 things with the Mantic zombies mainly how well I could GS modern looking clothes onto them and also how easily I could convert some of them to be female zombies with Undeath being an equal opportunities job and all :P

So I made like a zombie business woman type thing:






over all I'm quite pleased with it, the tattered loin cloth the legs had on them was easy to use as the basis for the skirt, I then shaved down the torso, arms and face to make them look less male add a GS shirt and hair and done even added a high heeled shoe to her one foot :P

I'm in the process of making another 2 zombies this time male, tough it is taking some time to cut down the loin cloths already molded onto the models :( will hopefully be worth it though :)

As ever feel free to drop me a comment and let me know what you think :D

I live

Wow, 2 months since I last updated here I have neglected this little corner of the interwebz and for that I appologise. But now after being nagged by the fiend known as Mr Feral and that Foul Kiwi known as Foot_of_adhesive_tape I have returned to show a few pictures of what I have been up to over the past 2 months.

Whole reason I haven't being posting on here is that I took a bit of a step back from the hobby I did still carry on tinkering with stuff but at a much slower pace, working on them for a few minutes a day or every other day, I'm beginning to get back to my old ways of working quite quickly though so updates will be less sporadic :)

right so lets begin with the most recent things I finished for my Vampire counts:





zombies only a few pics there but there are more in my photobucket, the thing with these is I've tried to convert them all, so new heads to replace the horribly dated stock heads as well as shaving down the hands and fingers to try bring them back into scale. As such it does take quite a while to make them which is annoying when you need so many :(

My vampires are currently on hold as I don't want to get completely bored of zombies so i've moved back to working on 40k.


So my 40k interest was reinvigorated after Games Day where I helped run the Ammo Bunkers Poisoned chalice game as well as meeting forum members (including that Heretic named Daniel(Mr Feral) for the first time), I contributed a Tau kill team to it:



The camo cloaks drew some attention with a few guys asking me how they were made. After GD again I had a bit of a break working on a few bits of Tau stuff and nothing much else. Then On the Ammobunker a communal Badab log was set up which got me interested again and after seeing the truely inspirational work of Dan the Daemon over on bolter and chainsword I decided to give true scaling a go, as his method looked nice( I find terminator based true scale marines to be far to bulky) and simple but highly effective (plus it doesn't cost an arm and a leg in terminator parts :P )


So I made a marine from the raptors chapter:




and I was very very pleased with the result of the up scaling, with its success it was inevitable I would put the method to use for the good of the ruinous powers and have embarked upon a new project, that of completely updating my Word Bearers, these guys are my favourite 40k army mainly because when I first got back into the hobby properly 4 years back they are the army I made, so here are the first 2 truescaled the same as the Raptor:








I'm really pleased with these 2, I'm finally doing some justice to the word bearers I think :P


And because I'm nice heres 2 sneak peeks of 2 other projects I'll be working on:




we have Jill Valentine from the resident evil games (Resi 3 costume as i found a good model to base her off) she is the start of some zombie apocalypse stuff I'll be doing

Then we have Drazhar master of blades, who is still heavily WIP:



Having fallen in love with the background and models of the new Dark Eldar I set about making Drazhar after seeing the new art work for him im planning on doing a small 500 point Dark eldar force in the near future, parts wise hes made from a mix of dire avenger and guardian parts with his swords being made from thin plasti card


Well thats it for this post, sorry if' I've waffled on but you did gt to see some pretty pictures :P
