Hmm I'm not sure what you mean with the sound system LDD, I could probably construct sometihng with the bits I already have..

I remember there was a conversion pack for the reqular russ, that added an expanded engine section, do you mean something like that? I could probably build something like that out of plasticard plus a few odds and ends that might be too painful do do by hand.


I mean like a tannoy system for the Megaphones so the commander could speak into at the turret to scream out to the heretics, it might add a nice detail to the tank turret just a thought.

As to the engine section and exhaust something like this but not this :

Managed to get a bit more paint on the genswick. Just the metallics with those meltaguns to go plus any cleaning up.



just noticed that the shotgun on the chap on the right is not aligned with the stock, nevermind.

Not much else, I've been learning to use Rhino using a 90 day free trial, good stuff.

While learning to use the software I made breakfast. http://shpws.me/vyXQ not bad for 6 hours. I also added some really cool bulkhead lights, so be sure to check out what else I've got on there.


Thanks for stopping by.

Some real cool stuff there especially liking the new tank additions, and the full English

Also the genswick are coming on well love the custom heads look great, as for the shotgun must have got damaged during battle these things happen

The learning is definitely paying off can't wait to buy I mean see the casts

10 more genswick finished:




The shields could have been better, but nevermind. They are the 3 lasgun armed grunts for a special weapons team, so I thought I'd model them slightly differently

11 lasguns, 2 meltaguns, 1 sniper, 1 lascannon and 1 heavy bolter to go ... not including tanks ofc.

Thanks all
OMN.

The idea behind using the shields is good although I have to agree you need a little more work on the blending but otherwise cracking job, personally I would have given them all maces as that one with the gasmask head looks tops

I like the idea of the shield Genswick. Since they are part of a special weapon squad how about snipers? Those boys could provided cover for them.

Thank you everyone, the shields were kind of to save having to buy more cadian lasgun arms.

@40kFSU: Thanks for the idea I might just do that. These three are for a SWT with flamers, but I've got plenty of shields for doing more in the future. Also might make for a cool diorama!

I've been playing with plasticard a little, made a start on a new breech for the towed earthshaker;


Also got workign on the main body of the chassis. gun shield may be a little unimaginative but ho-well, I'll make up for it else where .


Sneaking into the pictures you can see the start of the rear section, just the top pannel so far while I work out the rest of the geometry. It's going to be a big gun, around 20cm long IIRC not including barrel length. There will be many rivets!

Breakfast is served:


might make for a fun objective marker.

I've also got another 12 or so things to add to shapeways this weekend so far, more to come. I'll keep you all tuned.

Thanks all,

OMN.

The artillery is looking good fella, are you going to do a crew and towing unit too ? Would make a cool little game-able diorama !

Ref. guys with the shields, to my eyes the shields are too similar to the figures and just make the whole thing look like "WHFB in Space"
I know the Genswick suit the vibe you have going but maybe they could use some tech. or Aquillas and a little view slit like the SWAT shields have.

Or not.

I'd thought of adding something like that to the shields, but couldn't decide what.
I'll add some decals to them with a whole load of metallic scratches and dents painted on, should help to disguise my lazy paintwork too.

I've got a spare tank chassis that would make for a nice trojan, all it needs is a top adding on, there will be a crew eventually, I'm thinking of just buying one of the FW krieg artillery crew sets to use, a helmet swap and they'd work fine, but one thing at a time (for a change).

This is going to be my last post on here for a few weeks while I have a break and sort some things out.

So in light of that I'm putting up all the things that have been crossing my desk over the past few weeks that I'd not posted about sooner

You may remember I made a carapace armoured veteran using bits from the empire greatswords, scions and grey knights kits, here is a nearly finished 5 man squad.


Heroic scale means all your troops look like overloaded mules, carrying the equivalent of a phone, wallet and car keys ...

I've given the priest some green sleeves, and quickly put two menial servants together while searching my bits box for something.


Years ago there used to be figures (maybe necromunda, I don't remember) with cybernetic arms with drills on, the art is also full of them, yet no drills! So I made one, this is the result so far:


I found a large eye from the spawn kit, combined with a fantasy ghoul and something creepy appears, botttom right image the thing dangling down below its neck is not a tie, it's its tongue with a large smiling mouth.


At least I'm not going to run out of things to paint any time soon!

Lastly, for those who are interested, I spend all day finishing and uploading a pile of smallish pieces that I'd been working on over the past month to shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/designer/UncannyAutomaton?sort=newest

Thanks for reading everyone, I hope you enjoy the pics.

OMN.

All looking fantastic, some creepiness too.

The troops look great, agreed about the bits, but still looks great. Priest and servants all looking cool, great work on the sleeves.

But the creepy dude steals the show, awesome.

I like that you've given the priest menials....it always seems appropriate.

The ghoul with eyeball head is brilliant.

The pitslaves, with tool arms, were indeed from Necromunda. How did you make the drill for your version?

Mysterious Techpriest







Thanks everyone, iHead needs some rags adding to it still.

For the pitslaves drill I cheated and 3d printed it. I'd considered a number of ways to make it, sculpting around a small nail, an ordinary wood screw, you can even buy some small drill bits (probably for dremel like drills) that may be suitable. Size is an issue tho.

Great stuff I really like the carapace armoured veterans the combination of parts actually work well, usually they look like warhammer minis with bolters but these actually carry the 40k vibe nicely.

The priest is a nice combo of bits love trying to figure out what it is you used the only thing stumping me is the torso the arms work well nice relaxed posing

The necromunda based guy (as not sure to his purpose) looks pretty cool like the 3d print drill bit maybe add something to his legs though as they still look to maraudery yes I know its not a real word


As for "Blink" that is one dam ugly looking beasty kind of reminds me of a teacher I once had, any chance of adding a tweed jacket with leather elbow pads and bad breath

Thanks a lot LT, good to see you popping by!

@LDD: I've finished the design for the trench rails, just cobbling together some other things that I can have made at the same time, any requests?

The "Hannibal guy" is going to have a plague doctor look.

Also new mould for the megaphones, not so good news, I'm going to pull the "blame the weather" card and try something else.

Not much modelling mojo, bit too warm for my tastes, managed to get a few Genswick painted last week felt good to paint something easy for a change.
It's interesting to see how much my painting style has changed recently



The lieutenant at the top's horn is meant to be brass, looks really golden tho, (yea the opening needs cleaning up). I've 10 more on my desk waiting for my brush when I'm finished this post.

Also I found the time in the past few days to use those resin tracks of mine and put them to work on one of the ragnaroks that seems to be a permanent feature of my desk as well as getting some of the surface detailing done on them. unpainted genswicker for scale.



Because there can never be enough half started projects on my desk


After a raid in my bits box I thought I'd have a go at making a towed earthshaker artillery piece, design-wise i'll be copying the Soviet M1931 203mm howitzer, at least for the base and trailer. Damned if I know how long that is going to take to make.

Lastly I bought the Vraks trilogy from FW a little while ago turns out they are the 2nd edition too! updated in 2010 for 5th edition (they still missed out the points cost for the macharius tanks!!!). The army lists look pretty balanced and fun, my only gripes so far (bar the failing to put points costs in... again!) is there are too many apocalypse size battles for the re-enacting. Oh and the books weigh a ton!

Thank you all
OMN.



And tell me about a rectangular gorget an infantryman is wearing please. is it a generic cadian or how do you make it?

So, I'm kinda back ... with terrain!

Had to do some painting over the past two weeks to stop myself going crazy.

My own Resin Postboxes...



... bulkhead lights...


and lastly I've got started on painting these marine statues, the verdigris is probably done, bar an oil wash, the rest has only has the the basic colours put on


@ Lonecat: Greenstuff + a Cadian un-armoured torso.

@ DrH: Actually I was replaying HL2:ep2 at the time ...

The light is particularly effective.
