Hi all, Ive been inspired, like so many others by all the awesome stuff that goes on in all these forums. At the moment me and a friend are working towards a campaign, probably based on the Necromunda ruleset. Most of the minis here will probably be for that and other future projects. Some Mordhiem as well I imagine. Anyway here they are:


Members of the Adeptus Arbites






And some wip terrain

You are off to a nice start. The arbites are looking great.

I'm subbed.

Excited to see more

off to a great start indeed mate. the grimness is practically oozing off these guys. i really like the arbites with the shield.

So darn gritty! Love it!

All three of those models fit very snug into the inqusi-munda universe, and are painted great. Cool terrain also, keep us updated =)

Grimdark is spot on. The terrain look just what I thought the underive should look like in the domes.

Subbed.

Gork's teef, I LOVE this! Really great work.
Subbed.

Thank you all, there will be more pics soon. I do have one query, does anyone here know how to make a cheap crackle effect in a large quantity.

Apologist wrote a blog article about it: LINK

I guess you just need to get your hands on a lot of Agrellan Earth?

Great stuff, man! I love your taste of colour which is real, grim and dark. Great start and I'm waiting fore more!

Cor! Lovely stuff here – I'll be a keen subscriber.
If you're still on the lookout for craquelure across a large area, then another option is inks. Any will do; Winsor & Newton Artists' inks (available online or from most art shops) will work well and come in a range of colours.

This'll be more resilient than other options, and far more affordable. If you're using it for terrain, you'll need to get as smooth a surface as you can – a layer of PVA would work well as the base. Once done, pour on the ink liberally, then aim to dry it as quickly as possible – doing it outside in direct sunlight on a hot still day would be ideal.

It looks really great the detail gotten on them is very well done!

Darkmistro: Thank you
Apologist: I'll have to look into getting some, do you know any sites where i can order windsor and newton inks form? P.s ' i love your blog.
Malika:Thanks for the link- I am a bit of a scrooge when it comes to buying from GW, I always try to find the cheapest option And paints are 7 dollars a pot here in NZ
Logan: ask and you shall receive…

This is....outstanding. please post more pics! This is epic!!

Pretty cool, love the Arbites, subscribed.

Terrain is looking really cool. Very gritty. Nice job.

Thank you all
Here are some more very WiP pics. Work on the terrain has ground to a halt while i wait for more resources, mainly a chance to get the GW battle fiield debris kit.

First a mechanicum Magos:



Next a sister of battle, who will be the personal bodyguard of an member of the ecclesiary


The dealer in scrap, gubbins and technology of almost orkoid awefulness Ignatius Frei.


And a servitor in a box

The scrap dealer looks very cool.

Nice conversion work there.

Subbed!
what gave you the idea of the servitor in a box

Scrazza: Thanks, and thanks for friending me
Talassar: Im not really sure, i guess i just like the fact that making humans into possesions captures 40ks feeling brilliantly. I can kind of imagine dealers selling lives with out a thought that these servants where once actual living people. Certainly the/us whites did it with african slaves . I can imagine crowds coming to see the latest servitors, each packed into its crate or brought out to show off, a bit like the roman slave markets as well. Originally the servitor was going to be used as part of the scrap dealers stall. It didn't work out so i guess ill just use it as part of my scenery, or maybe an objective.

Anyway here is what I have been painting up. This will be the mobile stall for Ignatius Frei, the scrap dealer:


From this image his stock can be identified as a type writer(grimdark style), a military issue bottle, some grenades and some other odd teknological gubbins.




"You there sir, dont you think your wife would love this state of the art dishwashing servo skull, fresh from the crypts, Two for one perhaps, no,well alright then, another time perhaps "

If you click on the images you can zoom in, on the dakka gallery. Its worth it, honest.

Great stuff , love the scrap yard junk idea. and the servitor for sale is genius.

I dont believe it something I have been wanting to do for ages and you have done both things and well, the scrap dealer and his floating stall just bloody marvelous.

I love your work and hate you so much for doing it before me

Well then i challenge you to a market stall off- Bring it on...

This challenge I will except (need a push) but will lose gracefully

Neil 101: thanks, and thanks for commenting on the blog
Lone dirty dog: You never know until you try

Here are some more updates. Firstly a bit more work done on the magos




Ive started work on a troubadour with shotgun, lute and a nice big hat

A wild biker



There are more photos up on my blog…see how cunningly ive got you hooked, youve seen these pics and youll go onto the blog and be trapped fffooreeevveerr

fantastic stuff! I had missed the last update with the scrap dealer and his stall -- so cool!

The magos is great. I love how much more personality he has than your average tubes, goggles, and hood style magos. Will you build out his skull or over it in a hood? Either would look great but he works surprisingly well with the missing cranium -- maybe many of his brain functions are stored in his companion servo skull or something ...

The biker is great but I especially love the troubadour.

Cool update. The biker looks amazing. And I like where the troubadour is going.

Scrazza: Thanks, im rather excited to see how he comes out to

Weirdingway: I will probably sculpt some wires, then a hood over them. His cranium was originally larger but i shaved it away because his hood looked so large when i tested it. Your idea of having a removed brain does sound really cool, I may have to steal it from you it would be awesome if a servo skull floated in front of an mechanicum adept, with wires running back into his empty head
hopefully more soon

Stunning work all round the Magos really has a regal feel and the styling reflects it well, also the Troubadour is taking shape nicely love the mix of the empire armour plated legs with what I think is Tallarn Forge world head and torso.
Like the biker but a little hard to tell what's going on with the GS as some pics are a little blurry,what torso is it by the way ?

Brilliant stuff real medieavel future feel and the Hive waste terrain looks excellent.

Wow, amazing work all round, very grimdark in the bast of possible ways. I think this is the first time I've seen someone using the Forgeworld tallarn bits ( I take it they are from the sniper set).
