And in the interests of getting my creative juices flowing again, I decided to have a play with 'juicing'... This is a model from Sebastian Archer's range that I picked up a while back in a bundle of stuff that I just wanted to paint, and I've been waiting for a chance to make a start on that pile. Seemed as good a time as any.

Still a ways to go, obviously...

And, because you can never have too many plates spinning at once... A little project in the works, which is a nice excuse to recycle some second-hand miniatures I picked up a while back.

Some Maelstrom's Edge minis in progress... Some of these pics were shown during the Kickstarter, but there's a couple other bits and pieces that I was working on. And hopefully I can sit down and get some paint on these sometime soon...


First Hunter robot. Stock model aside from the left leg, which was bent at the knee to create the running pose.

Second Hunter.

Mostly stock model, just moved the rocket pods onto the shoulders and added a slight bend to the knees to give him more of a 'braced to fire' stance.

Third Hunter robot. Added a bend to the left foot for the walking pose, shifted the missiles from behind the head to the forearm, and slightly modified the chaingun (the shield behind it is intended for the flakk gun, but I liked the way it looked)

Scarecrows... These were all slightly modified...

- The crouching one needed some slight 'tweaking' of the elbow joint to allow the arm to bend as far as I wanted it.

- The standing one on the left jest has the railgun on his shoulder tipped up into a 'standby' position... no actual modification of parts required there, I just glued it onto the back edge of the shoulder instead of the top.

- The guy in the middle has his railgun shifted from the shoulder to the left arm, which just involved slicing the left forearm off just below the elbow, and attaching the resultant stump to the end of the gun. Fairly simple to do.

And the last one for the Epirians for the moment... a drone I've been having a play around with.

I'm calling this a 'Scorpion Drone'... It's not game-legal (but totally should be! ), just a bit of fun. Made the tail by chopping down a Scarecrow's chemical sprayer and adding a chaingun from a Hunter.

Actually, the not-auto-appending is something anyone can do... Any post with pictures added through the attachment system won't auto-append.

I think the little drones are my favorite models from that faction.

Moving on - Karists!




Mostly stock, although pointing guy has a sculpted finger, and the guy on the far right has some resculpting of the left arm and hand.


Angels -

My first assemble test... I shifted the legs around a little to give him some motion, and reshaped the left arms a little so I could get both of them on there, just, you know, because. The bodies on these guys are supposed to be fluid and variable, and so I wanted to really reflect that in the posing.





Second Angel - a little more extreme... I was aiming for a little more of a 'shambling, but deadly' pose on this one, so I trimmed down and repositioned the legs. And to make him look even more deadly than normal, I gave him all four arms by reshaping his back a little.




Third Angel... very work in progress...




And some Minnows. I pictured these guys flitting about around the bigger angels, and so wanted some real motion in their posing. So I swapped the wings around a bit rather than pairing them. Took a little bending to make them fit, and a couple of them need the rearmost membranes replaced with putty, but I think they fit the bill.

HHHNNNGGG- gah, look at all this awesome MEdge stuff!

Really great losing on the minnows, Insaniak. They look much faster, much more terrifying.

The hunters also look spectacular, they have a nice weight to them, making me think of the ED-209 from Robocop. Probably less inept though!

Yeah, the Hunters are one of my favourite models from the range.

Although the sheer range of possibility opened up by the Angel kit, through being plastic and representing a creature whose form can shift at will, is quite awesome as well

I'm not a fan of the big gribbly (just as I was never a fan of the original Carnifex) but you've done very well on those minnows. It would have improved their look (and feedback) no end if they came like that as a kit as yours are much more dymanic.

Test paint Karist looks good. An almost comic-book scheme, reminds me of Deadpool a bit.

Love the Angels, and you've just made my opinion of the Minnows do a U-turn! If they can be built like that with minimum converting then that's epic!

Will the Angel Minnows be released as a clam pack sorta thing once MEdge goes out to retail? You know, like a beast swarm or something?

I believe the intention is to have all of the models available separately sooner or later, but I'm not sure what the actual timescale is on that.
