Thanks chaps! You always make me snort with laughter.

So, next up - until I get more primer - menoth ordo xenos:

You are a painting machine graven... Take a break mate, you're going to burn yourself out!

What you talking about Willis? We're being completely serious, all the time, all the way.....

Took your advice, this week's about the family. Being descended upon by friends tonight and lots more to come. Had a fantastic wedding on Saturday, very geeky, the best man's speech was done in the style of The Wizard of Firetop Mountain. Raise your glasses, turn to paragraph 400...

My helpful brother-in-law, who works for Halfords (car maintenance store, colonials), scored me some lengths of this:

and black primer (as recommended by weety).

Also, worked on some odds and ends:

Started robes of the bearers, other xenos menite, a weapon swap sob, and rebuilt my dialogus. So, some progress

You have a plan for the tubing, or just going in the useful stuff pile?

Possibly the camera angle, but the dialogus looks to have quite an extreme leg angle there.....

No plan, it's just cool! Dialogus suffering from eldar leg syndrome, it's tragic, really.
Also, coming soon:

That certainly is one hell of a flying base.

Glad the master mek approves
and so

started a ordo xenos killteam for a mate's birthday:


Thinking of adding another of the spryer with heavy bolter arms s a clone servitor?

Cool I've always felt the Vultures in the Jungle Book shows Disney's unconscious Imperialist leanings and racial hatred of Scousers. Was it really the Beatles doing the voice over? The Spyrers an interesting choice for a heavy bolter but maybe in another warband as you might not want to imply both are servitors.

And assassins go to Newcastle to hone there knife skills

^ Well it is Easter, so I suppose it's only fair that you guys (Wait for it...)

Crack me up!

(sorry)

Redid the team:

=][= now has a plasma pistol, an acolyte with Hotshot and a mystic too.

Have had a brainwave to use Ogres as servitors... heavy bolters hanging out the belly... oh dear...

Somebody needs to explain this whole inquisition henchmen thing to me. Ice & Moonpie gave me the awesome MW henchmen minis they made for my MW painting comp last year and I'd like to use them as a basis for a little =I= allied group (inquisitor & henchmen mob). But I just don't get it.

Ummmmm. ...... MW?

Mantis Warriors.....

Gits' marine army

Ok thanks hun .... Too much sun for me.

Well, aside from the fact that they are gloriously customisable as physical builds, you can tailor them pretty heavily to your needs. Coteaz lets you take them as troops. Squads are 3-12 in whatever mix you require. Basic acolytes can be tricked out with bolters, storm bolters or hotshots, and 3 can have special weapons as required. You also get cc brutality with DCA, Arco-flagellants and crusaders, plus heavy weapons on servitors dirt cheap or on jokaero for more (but flexible - can swap in game).
Oh, and full range of transports available, too

Nice. I can see why they were so popular at Adepticon.

The main reason they were popular is that they were an ultra-cheap (around 50 points) add on to almost ANY army (thanks to the rules) that allowed you to take an Inq and a single servo skull, to really screw up opponent's ability to infiltrate and scout, as well as making your own deep strike and blast templates more accurate.

^ Yup, that too I am very fond of them.
Speaking sorta which, I mentioned an idea for an ogryn servitor, yes?


Obviously loads of gs to do, but you get the gist. I wanted something grotesque and possibly ever so slightly blanche-y. The belly gun is ridiculous, but hey, this is 40k.

I like how the mask makes him kinda look like a gorilla.

Is that a belly mounted heavy bolter! Madness! I rather like him though he looks much more combatty than shooty. The mask is ace and him looking like a gorilla is a good thing.

Nowt wrong with a good belly-gun now and again

I just want to find out who thought hanging their mug off a combat servitor was a sensible and hygenic thing to do......dirty inquisitors....

Thanks! I really like the scorcha mask, glad you guys do too.
I ditched the shoulder spikes and went with a hopper and scanner:

I've also added a set of canisters and started gsing, cables up next!

I like it a lot graven. Excellent job on fitting all the bits together into a comprehensive whole.

Thanks mate, was worried hopper etc was looking a bit cluttered compared to previous.
BTW, the xenos squad is also now primed. They have to be done and painted by 2nd may - thank the hairy stick god for deadlines!

Looks great, looks brutal.

Any chance of a scale shot?

hmmm... I think you should soon invest in milliput ...then you could have sculpted these gapes way smoother... currently (maybe due to the colour green) it reminds me of moss^^

also... whenever I see a servitor without a second arm...even an artificial one... I get a very odd feeling... kind of sympathy pain...

but I agree, the ogre body together with all that tech and then the scorcha head... brilliant idea

Servitor is looking good. Very promising.

Hi gang,
Getting on with the Ordo Xenos:

The SM will be a DW/BT. Not sure what chapter for the scout, want to keep the whole lot very muted, sinister, almost borg-like (the guy's a big trekkie).

Well, I do use milliput when I have to really bulk stuff out (eg gaps in sides of exorcist) but I hate sculpting it. There will be layers of gs musculature on this guy and also it's going to be stretched at connection points where it's been grafted into the flesh. Thanks for kind words

Thanks matey. I know you like cruel and unusual repurposing

Speaking of which, Battlewagon WIP:

Keep the comments coming guys,

Battlewagon is looking great... wrong color though.
