These are great! The soldier/noble looks the part, and I like all of the gear he's toting. The rogue trader definitely leans towards rogue, he looks fearsome! The mutant definitely looks the part too.

Those are some cool looking dudes!

The Rogue Trader is amazing. Can't wait to see him painted.

I like the Noble Guardsman its a really good kit-bash.

I didn't even notice the bionic hand on the Mutant the first time around. They are all so jam packed with detail.

Mighty impressive work on these guys. You should try your hand at a Daemonhost (so I can rip the idea off....)

Very nice indeed! Might need to nick the RT idea!

So got the Nurgle Chaos Lord done. I may need to do a little more weathering on his gun. The barrel especially. Looks too clean, but besides that I'm pretty happy with him. I was for a Blanche-esque painting style. I'm not saying I achieved the awesome level he paints at, only that was my inspiration. Anyways, enough talking, onto the pics.











So what are your thoughts? Did I pull off the look I was going for? I feel like this guy will work great in my Inquisimunda games, as well as regular ole 40k.

Looks dark and gritty, just a really creepy as heck chaos mutant

Revolting in a what an awesome model sort of way. The head out of the stomach is horrifying. Gun does feel a little under done compared for the rest. Maybe a green/brown corroded look added?

That head coming out of the stomach just creeps me right out. Good work!

Proper Blanchey!

All I think he could benefit from is perhaps some red as a spot colour, that features in a lot of Blanche stuff.

So I went to visit my mother this weekend. I went to the new FLGS in town with some of my home town buddies. I played a game of warmachine (and got destroyed) but I also got to play the new Age of Sigmar game. It wasn't fun. It could have been possibly, but despite the fact that we tried to make somewhat even lists, they weren't at all. Its going to take some work to make the game fun, which may or may not defeat the purpose. While I was there I picked up a copy of the WD with the rules and free mini, and got two more of the free minis (other people didn't want theirs). And while I didn't have the best time playing, the minis are simply stunning. There are no other words for it. I'm going to buy the box next weekend just to paint. I may play the game every once in awhile, but I simply have to have the minis. So thats just my humble opinion on the matter that has made the gaming part of the internet explode the past couple days. But no one comes here to read my opinion, they come to see models! I built two of the three guys I had. One the "right" way and one with a head swap. I'm thinking about trying to make a BA termie out of the 3rd one. Here are the two I have built so far.



This is a pretty early WIP of the first model. Going to try to use GW's exact color scheme. Even using the guide in the white dwarf. I'm going to go with a silver and green scheme with the other guy. Will post more pics when I get him done tonight.





So what are you guy's thoughts on the game and minis so far? Good? Bad? I think it has some potential for small, cinematic games, but its going to take some work. We'll see how it goes.

Looking good! I'm planning something similar with head swaps to get a more varied look, so glad to see it works!


Personally, I really like what we've seen so far of both the game and the minis.

Looks like a good effort so far. I can tell you that as a former empire player, that new aesthetic does literally *nothing* for me. Look about like you could stick a power pack on them and run them as blood angels though so I'm sure they'll make great conversion fodder

Thanks for sharing!

Nice work on the Liberator. I think I may end up doing mine in a Dark Angels sort of scheme- so Green, Bone white and Red.

Done and done.

@paradigm, the head swap works great with any space marine head, as they have the same ball socket for it to fit into. That's the only easy conversion with this model. The shoulder pads are in two halves, so you can do much with them. You can replace the shield arm pretty easily, but the hammer would have to go too if you do that.

@Grim, they are definitely just fantasy space marines, but I love space marines, so I guess its why I like them. I just wish there was a little MORE to the game they are a part of.

@AoV, They will work pretty well for termies. There are plenty of nice, flat surfaces to glue insignia onto. I am going to do a BA one myself.

Anyways, here is the finished product.

Well it looks good. Nice work!

Nice work on the guy!

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy the game.

Aye, he looks grand Squall, you have nailed the highlighting of the gold armour. Good to hear that you are considering the boxed set too.

Splendid!

Ok, painted the second of my Sigmarites with a different color scheme. I don't like this one as much. It was quicker to do, but the whole time I was painting it, I just knew it wasn't as good as the first one. Oh well, can't win em all. Anyways, here he is.







Super early WIP of my last color scheme. Going for a darker scheme with a bone color to contrast the dark armor. This is super early, still alot of layers to go, but you can see where I'm going (I hope).



Last in a WIP of the ex-guardsman noble. He is about 80% done. Pretty happy with how he is turning out so far.



And thats about it. Going to finish up the Sigmarites this week, as well as work on my Inq28 stuff. My wife is going out of town tomorrow for a few days, so I imagine production is about to increase quite a bit. Thanks for looking guys, and feel free to comment!

Huh yeah I think the original sigmarine is the best, though both of the other schemes are totally fine, that one just seems to better capture the spirit of the model. Veteran is cool too. The arms seem a bit long but kitbashing can do that to you, still looks really neat.

You know I actually prefer the gold and blue scheme the least. Don't get me wrong, it's nicely done. But I just don't like those colors. Actually prefer the second one the most closely followed by the Space Marine Chaplain look.

Absolutely love the Noble. Great kit bashing and since I already have all of the parts you used (I think) I may be requesting permission to steal the idea for future use.

The noble looks fantastic!

I think I will like the dark and bone colored Sig the best.

Great stuff!

So I got a copy of Osprey's new game Frostgrave. Its pretty much Mordheim with a lot more wizards. I have plenty of Mordheim guys, so had plenty of basic minis but needed more wizards. Also made a few of the specialist characters. Have a few more to make. Will be working on this, AoS, and Inq 28 for the foreseeable future. Anyways, on to the pics.

First is some of the boring stuff. Made some objective markers / treasure tokens.





Next up is a wizard (not sure what type yet) and an apothecary.



This guy will be a wizard's apprentice. He isn't quite done.



Next a sigilist and apprentice





Finally, a thief and another wizard.



And that's what I've been up to lately. Been playing quite a bit of warmachine and actually getting some Mordheim in as well, but this has been all the painting / modelling I've gotten done so far this week. Thanks for looking guys and feel free to comment.

The progress is cool. I dig the purple robes on the wizard. The apprentices look suitably meek compared to their masters great job on that.

Mordheim is a great game. Wish I could find some games. What warband are you running?

Nice selection of characters! Looking forward to seeing more of this Frostgrave stuff pop up!

I've been running a Reiklander Mercs band. I've been teaching two of my Warmachine buddies how to play, so we've just played a couple one off games so far. They are begging me to start a campaign, so I guess I've got them hooked.

The WM games look great - good to hear you went well and congrats on the Cygnar award as well. The Khorne and Nurgle Lord builds look great and Nurgle guy came up great in the end - I didn't pick up on the gut-head until I saw the painted/finished version pics. That's one trippy Rogue Trader. Frostgrave conversions look good. I'm on the fence about the game, I'll wait and see what you guys think of it!

Nice take on the kitbashed wizards/characters. I have only heard good things about the Frostgrave ruleset, let us know how you get on with it.

Yeah the stuff is looking good, keep it coming I need more skirmish in my life
