Nice work. I like the book-on-a-strap.

Good job on the cultists, although a little difficult to see details in the photos.
I've got this group to paint next from my set, so will watch with interest.

Good pistol, I think it is one the image was used in the game Inquisitor RPG as they do have a wide weapons range as well as equipment.

I had a lot of fun running the RPG and making the hoops for the group to jump through. ^^

Brilliant stuff!
The tanks look great and the scenery is also nice!

There is little more satisfying than a Column of Imperial Tanks! Fantastic work going on in here, as usual!

The DV cultists look excellent. In terms of VJ paint, Model Color Black is Matt, Game Color Black is Gloss. You really make me want to pick up some of these bad boys!

Nice work with the tarpaulin on the basilisk, can be quite tricky to get that kind of thing looking right, but yours looks perfect .

Thanks everyone.

added the rear of the tarp


Started adding some tracks too. I molded from the hull (yes 1 year later) and its great but now the model it has holes in it from the attachments I made for pour points, my new superglue is stronger than the plastic.


Oh and also the hull weapons are magnetised.

Some of the resin bits weren't selling as well as others ... so I made a 30cm long section of raised pipeline with them


I swear my photography is getting worse! I bought a set of foam sheets from hobby craft for using as backgrounds in black, white and blue, I seem to have lost all but the black one, not good for lighter painted models.

@ graven: Thanks for the tip, I'll have to pick one up, they are great models a little limited in pose but - like so many things- nothing a sharp knife can't fix.

@hk: thus far its more art than science, I'm not looking forward to trying to successfully repeat it

Hopefully I'll be able to finish the tracks off tonight, can't see myself getting much done this weekend.

OMN.

Edit: replaced images to be less rubbish

Right so I've replaced those images in the previous post with some slightly less terrible ones.

I don't think I did as well on the rear tarpaulin as the rest of it but at least you can all now see it . So the basilisk if finished now except for painting, which is something to look forward to.

These are two pet conversions, an arco-flagellent and a DCA, I've been working on for a while, whilst I think I've just about finished them, I'd not put anything up yet and thought I'd better share before revealing them finished.



Based off of a vampire counts ghoul, I'm thinking of making at least one more of these ( I could make another 7 with the bits I've got left over). Really fun to make.



And lastly a DCA from a DElves witch elf, I'm cobbling together some bits to make 2 more, one being based on a DEldar wych, including casting my own power weapons for them since I haven't found any long thin blades that are suitable.


Time to finish those cultists, I've taken some images, just need to edit them. which will mean I can finally move on to painting something else! Like those two priests for example

Thanks.

the flagellant looks amazing...your GS work is going places!!!... the only thing I would add is that the pipes on his back are a bit bland.. if you add just a small length of rod and then a "rivet" on each the syringe look of these pipes will be there...

the DCA is also a cool conversion... I think if you give me a bit of time I could look through my dark elves bitz or the DE stuff and I could come up with thinner longer blades... but actually I think if you aren´t feeling these.. then scratchbuilding blades would be no feat for you at all

and I still don´t know what caused the holes in the tanks underside... (technological description confuse me )

and the raised pipeline looks very good too... will there be more of this to form a compete terrain setting?

I like the addition of creases to the rear of the tarp.

Tracks look suitably track-like and the pipe and support are nice.

arco-flagellent is very nice

Assassin is also nice. Like the mask.

scratchbuilding blades

Can be done from lengths of sprue.

Although getting them really thin can be tricky as they become very flimsy and therefore difficult to work with.

I threw my sprue away

However I have lots of offcuts of plasticard

Edit: That blade is awesome btw, mine is no where near that good

@ Vik: when I moulded the tank hull I superglued some thick plastic rods to the underside to make the gaps to pour the resin into, only when I went to remove them, it tore through the plastic

Thanks for the tip on those pipes, they are not attached very well and were supposed to be vials of liquid, I'll be giving your suggestion a try .

As for the pipeline, maybe I've got more than a few bits and half-started things that could be re-purposed to doing something, maybe a pumphouse thing then on the otherside of the pipeline an out of control tank smashed through it or something. I'll see.

tut tut. That's free building material there.

Plasticard is just as good (but not as free) as sprue. They are both polystyrene.

Thanks. I need to get around to finishing the others I started at the time. Probably the thing to do after the tank.

That tarpaulin is glorious! And the little anchor ropes are a great touch!

I hope you dont mind..... but i am going to swipe that idea!

Swipe away.

I received a commission to paint some bases, so I have:


they are quite nicely painted under all that powder.

Also made these two plinths out of some more of my miscast resin bits and two suitably heroic looking old space marines. They want some bases on them but that'll have to wait a little while.


Thanks all.

So i see some Bretonnian Rumors. If GW releases some new kits do you think you will add to your Genswick?

oh... noodle statues...sweet looking... tho the seal and the scoll do look a bit cheap and out of place... your alcoves tho are seet eyecandy...

how much do you take for such a resin piece by the way?

@ 40kFSU: I doubt it, I'm adding another 20-odd using the existing bretonnian men at arms, I can't really see gee-dub replacing that kit anytime soon when they can add more mega-kits.
I had at one stage thought of selling all the infantry and using Deus Vult Foot Sergeants by Fireforge games, but too much effort.

@ Vik: Thanks, the seal and scroll are there to cover 2 large air bubbles left when casting. All the resin bits you see there are mis-cast ones.
All the pieces shown are up on my swapshop thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/508248.page
except the large piece which is probably £1.50 each. The little alcoves are £0.5 and the large ones are £1.

Finally got those DV melee cultists pics up



I added some tamiya clear red with a bit of black ink mixed in to the squad leaders claw hand

ah I see mate, that makes sense of course...

and I will have to soon cobble an order together... you have quite some nice bits^^

Good job OMN. Bases look nice and the cultists are nicely done.

Bases fit those cultists so well!

I hear you. It's an old kit but they still look good. Not really the identity of Bretonian armies anyway. I was considering starting a new army if they release new kits. Will have to see.

Cultists look really good.

Nice updates. I especially like the acolyte.

~Thanks all, I really appreciate your comments

@40kfsu: Don't get me wrong I like the current men at arms & archers kits, but I don't really see them re-making them when I can (cynically) see them adding some large, new, multi-use kit like a plastic trebuchet that can be built as a giant rabbit or something far less interesting.
The bret's need plastic grail pilgrims or at least another infantry kit (which might make good genswick!), plastic squires etc.
Even though I don't do fantasy (and I would like to) bret's are such a cool faction that they need some love to actually give them a range of models besides 3 kits. The only thing that needs more love from gee-dub is sisters and they need to have what dark eldar had done to them.

I'm really proud of the cultists, almost every colour on them is tinted brown (I hear they bounce around a lot). They are one of the few models I've made that I'm happy with except for a few gaps left, I'll probably be putting them up for sale tomorrow.

Just putting the finishing touches to my priests and that arco flagellent,
I can't do the syringes Vik so I'll be styling them as vials, because really how would they inject themselves on their backs? Ask each other politely? So I'm imagining something slightly more complicated like an small servo-iris controlled by cortisol levels or something.
It really bugs me that servo arms are not servo controlled arms they are modelled more like rudimentary pneumatic / hydraulics.

omn

Ask each other politely?....LOL...yeah you´re right^^

Hello all,

Priests are finished, I'll get some text on those banners, books and scrolls at some point, I'll have to varnish first.


Death cult assassin with plasticard sword


I'm making two more of these to make a small kill team using resin copies of the sword blade shown.

The arco flagellant.


I'm definitely making more of these. Far too much fun!

And lastly a new warrior acolyte with flamer, that I made quickly,


The only thing I'm not sure on on the flamer girl is what to do about her back, I'll have to add some sort of kit there, replacement flamer fuel etc. Oh and high heels, may also remove the pipe coming out of the vial on her back.

C&C welcome as always

Noodles.

Hey mate! Great looking work buddy! The deathcult assassin looks awesome.... real sense of movement and speed! top work!

priests looking really clean... maybe a bit too much...butt that´s down for personal taste...

the death cult assassin looks amazing... especially the edge of the blade...

also, the flamer girl ...I really wanna see you making high heels for her...would be cheesecake and a half but I think would be awesome as hell...also, I have to say looking at the flagellant and the flamer girl... you really have a thing for making masks out of GS...

Brilliant work. All loking amazing. The posing of the two girls is perfect.

The priests look great. Good job on the paint jobs.

The assassin looks brilliant. Nice work on the sword, looks perfect.

Arco flagellant is also good. Lots of nice cables and tentacles.

And also, good work on the Flamer Chick. Looking good. Pigtails FTW.

That death cult assassin,Arco flagellants and flamer girl are great!

Inspiring me to make some myself!
