So, over the weekend I got bored and, well... bad things with GW bitz happened. What started as an exercise in making the most ridiculous mini I could (based on that silly ass Captain Morgan body pose from the Catachan box...) ended up with me deciding to kitbash up a RT, his command crew and 10 or so Armsmen. I don't get alot of actual 40k play in these days so these guys will all likely end up as mooks and NPC's for RT tabletop games.

In an effort to actually force myself to finish something I build, all the way through to *gasp* painting. I figured I'd start a P&M blog here.

Thus DakkaDakka, I present to you. Lord Captain Herpaderp of the Voidship Fantabulous, and his crew.









Ultimately I think the plan here is 10 or so Armsmen and the Captain and his command crew. I've got an Arch-Militant, a Priest and I have another fig that is meant to be a Calix Templar Psykana. Not RT I know but I always wanted another Psyker option other than taking your telephone on away missions.

3/13 - So I decided of the Armsmen I'd kit 5 out as melee guys and 5 as "riflemen". First pass on the melee gents can be seen below. Still waiting on shoulderpads and then some assorted grenades and pouches and such to make them properly 40k-ey. I may end up doing the blades up as power weapons, haven't decided on that as of yet.







And just because I've been dying to build one. I decided the melee/boarding team guys needed a proper commander. (I use the term "proper" loosely here)



Next up, the rest of the Armsmen.

Love 'em.

More green stuff eye patches are in order though...

Or tricorn hats

Finished off the Riflemen type Armsmen, well finished sans the shoulderpads I wanted, still waiting on those for all of the Armsmen.

Also some WIP shots of the Calix Templar Psykana. There are still some gaps that need filling and I think I might do something to thin down the bit of the sword handle you can see. Not sure exactly how yet though.

Cool conversions!

Wow really like what you've done here! I like the fact that i recognise alot of the pieces so i can recreate some of your ideas
Last guy is the best that marauder head works well

Cheers guys!

Yeah, I LOVE that chaos marauder box, I have used bits from it for sooooo may things.

Nice conversions! I like the armsmen, and the guy holding the 2 knives. Looking forward to see them painted.

Very nice

Ok, so... I suck at painting GW stuff, but I really dig doing conversions. I have a ton of stuff I've built since the last update but I thought I'd share a little bit of my current distraction. Resurrecting my 2-4E Wolves army for 6E.

I have been kitbashing a bunch of stuff from all over the place with mostly decent results.

2 prototypes for Mark of the Wulfen marines. The hunched over guy will be getting a jump pack, because nothing could possibly go wrong when you strap a jetpack to a spacemarine/werewolf man right?



And this guy is just a headswap for one of the armored Warpborn Skinwalker heads from Hordes. I don't like the pose of this guy, but I am considering putting these on all my Termies. He will get disassembled later.

I needed a proper fig for an IRPG I'm playing in and couldn't bring myself to just use a stock PP one, so... choppy, choppy dremel time!!

Swordknight legs and arms, Chaos Warrior torso, Space Wolf head, Ungor shield and mace head.

Put this guy together who has been dubbed Judge Fredd. Just a quick pose test, need to strip the helmet anddo a bit of greenstuff work and he will be all sorted for painting.
