By the way, will you ever revive your TWAR project?

very much planning to - at least for gaming. I've posted an updated list at the armylists a few weeks ago. Thing is, there is very limited free time available for me now - and that is shared with sports, leaving little time for modeling - which is passionately ruled by this project.

You are a fantastic painter.

By the way, call the robot GERTY!

I've managed to purchase some more bitz and pieces and boxed sets to get some new units done. Another wizard kit, to the fabrcator and a sniper conversion I have in mind, chaos hounds to do some dune wolves, and some more terrain kits to finish the full two sets of terrain that pretty much only need a date with the airbrush now.

Still trying to fix me a nice, proper hobby place and some time to work on the models

I've also been lovingly staring at my airbrush... (that I bought months ago but have not had the time or space to use yet)

Unfortunately September is scheduled to be super busy, with lots of travel, so I have to wait a little bit longer before properly getting the project going again.

...soon.

Can't wait for more... As we all are...

Would it be possible to have a tutorial for the skin on the Alpharius legion guys as i need a similar skin tone for my current Alpha legion project and my second true scae project, Thanks!

You need to start painting immediately.

Signed,

Everyone

Who me or misgula?

Misgula. But thanks for killing the funny lol

You must be new here; no one really cares what anyone is doing other than Migs, for good reason Hell, I am often less interested in my own projects than his! :-P

QFT : so, I guess I'm not the only weirdo out here

No i find myself staring at this thread for hours on end admiring the work and time he puts into his projects

I love these guys, i have been waiting for you to post new things

Wow, the alpha legion on the first page is amazing.

C'mon Migs
we are running out of popcorn waiting for an update
Never mind the "Life getting in the way" excuse.
We wanna see some more piccies!

Soon!

Finally October looms large and I will have the odd moment for modeling. Pics coming this weekend! I am REALLY thankful for your appreciation of the blog and looking forward to delivering new surprises on the subject matter,

The new Dark Eldar pics have been a welcome source of excitement. While I see half a dozen things I would do differently - I am very impressed with the overall quality of design and really excited about all the new conversion fodder my project will get (and great new armies we will all see).

October is a great month! hopefully updates from you! as well as my bday!

Finally I get a chance to achieve some hobby goals:

- finish the twins (after my first paint session in months the twins are an hour or so from completion and another to finish their base. Pics this weekend)
- prime the AMech Fighting System
- build and prime the fabricator captain
- base, build and gs, then prime 10 dune wolves
- test drive the airbrush

That should be entirely realistic and leave me with really nice and varied stuff to paint in November. I then need a troop unit or two to get gaming. ...and obviously to come up with some rules for some of the units.

I should get a good core by January and then spend the next year expanding with all sorts of coolness

I'm eager to see them Migsula, especially since I've just finished reading Legion, and I'm still aghast at the outcome of the book... I was awe-struck at the genius required to spawn such a twist in the Alpha Legion history!!!

We want to see more!!!!

The progress of this project could significantly impact my weekend plans. I may have to reserve some time.

Inspiring as always, anxiously awaiting new updates.

I love this thread. I just love it.

Dune wolves? Intriguing...

This sounds strangly familiar, I found myself staring at the first page of this thread for what felt like a few hours recently just absorbing the sheer dedication and potential. A big boost in creativity followed.

Looking forward to seeing what your up to Migsula.

3rd/October/10 One man army.

Now that I finally had time to paint again (and tale of four gamers is tale of one, Jussi has moved to Kyoto to study and Hammer has changed his mind again and doing skaven), I did two things. I read this entire blog and was absolutely inspired by your support and enthusiasm and a little bit surprised how well it started and how many have continued to follow it. I also went down memory lane looking back to second edition and some memorable IG armies and battle reports with IG and Space Marines in the same army. They had something genuine, something truly Warhammer 40000 in their dna. Less about how modern day armies can be replicated as sci-fi miniatures and more about the weirdness that is the design of a Leman Russ tank or the grandness of the Golden Throne.

I need to dig up some of those old WDs and scan some pics.

Painting was a pleasure - but it took some time to brake of rust and to go small and sharp enough in the scale of things, while maintaining the free flowing, almost watercolorish painting process. This has always been the trickiest part, but it’s coming back now and I started to experiment with additional stylistic touches. I used cast shadows for example. Lending this piece a fitting extra contrast, being in the shadows and all.

The One man army.

There is a legend. Of a man so fast he can be at two places at the same time. Of such cunning that entire campaigns swing from collapse to conquest with his combat blades. Of a hideously scarred shadow of muscle and high explosives.

The one man army he is called. None know which of the Rhisienne Regiments he belongs to, but several have recorded his actions as part of their campaigns. Several also insist he has been trained and made within their ranks.

The truth remains in the shadows. Dictated by gods of war.


Here’s a few pics / 95% finished / I’ve since toned down the rust effect quite a bit, applied a few more shadow washes and made sure it fits the rest of the force.





Next up I want to paint the Grenadier sgt. To nail the scheme I will be using for them and to see how the paint behaves now without the rust. I will then build the Fabricator Captain and take the airbursh on a spin on him and his battle system - the Cyclops. Stay tuned.

Right Migs, this just has to stop.
You are just showing off now


Can't type what I'm thinking coz the cussfilter would go into overload and burn out!

Well hot damn, he's back!

That is some awesome work. Such a beautiful piece.

Just lovely, great job. The whole concept is just so original, thought out and well executed. I love the "drab-ness" of the colour pallet, really works. My only crit is the left arm of the standing guy on the right, it doesn't look completely natural to me, but thats only if i'm being picky.

Incredible, I have great appreciation for a piece that hits all the notes - conversion, painting and story all done incredibly well... You are one talented bastard my friend, thanks for sharing!

Agree with Hits though, the left arm looks a little... double jointed? Could just he then angle tho, on the other pic it looks good. As he said, only if you wanna be ultra nit-picky, it's still an A+++
