**CREEEEEEEEED**

I've come back to make a brief intro post.
Here's everything I did in 2017, enjoy:

Currently I'm not doing much, just buying stuff up to add to my pre-existing mountain of grey. Hopefully I'll get it all done in a flurry of work over the summer.

Original first post
So, first time doing a blog, so bear with me.s
I have decided that this is the best medium to present my hobbying activities and thoughts.

So here it is, the first post, a WIP bunker for my trench guard, who will get a showing when I finish squad one, two guardsmen to go. The highlights for the wings were done with reikland steel then a very thin highlight with leadbelcher to take some of the glare away.
Enjoy, and comment whatever you want.
I'd recommend clicking on each photo for a bigger version (still good quality photo) so you can see the detail.

That looks awesome! How will you make the walls?

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Thanks!
TBH, I'm not entirely sure, but right now I think I'm going to paint the outside as covered in mud, then the inside floorboards dirty metal, the inner walls that black/bronze colour, and have some mud spilled inside, maybe some more footprints and a few blood splatters.

**Matthew**

I'm guessing that's Rhinox Hide on the dirt?

**CREEEEEEEEED**

No, just the texture paint Stirland mud, it's amazing. It has granuels in it to add roughness and give it a sense of it being solid, rather tha the colour on something.

**Matthew**

Yeah, I love that paint.

**Ezra Tyrius**

That's a nice looking bunker

Really captures the grim darkness of the universe those poor IG have to fight for

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Thanks! So, I've done the painting of the main bunker, but I want to add some stuff. Does it look good and should I stick it in place?
So, in no particular order, here are some pics of the finished bunker and the (currently) blue-tacked on extra stuff. The 4 edits were picture trouble.

**Ezra Tyrius**

The added stuff looks good, I'm not sure about the placement of the gun though, wouldn't it make more sense if the gun pointed forward instead of to the side?

Where'd you get those sandbags by the way? They look pretty sweet

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Yeah, I guess it would, but then it fills up the centre chink. The sandbags I bought are from a japanese company I think, I found them in hobby craft, I don't know if you have it in Germany. However, I'm sure you can order them offline somewhere. They also do a whole range of similar stuff, from tank traps to oil drums and jerry cans

**Ezra Tyrius**

Ah yes, good old Tamiya models, haven't seen those in a while

Also, isn't the central chink meant for a gun emplacement to be put there?

(And allow me to find it extremely hilarious that you mixed up the German and Belgian flags

)

**Matthew**

Ah, Belgium, Germany, New Zeeland same thing. Oh boy, those Tamiya models take you back...

**CREEEEEEEEED**

I feel terrible now. Please forgive me. Back to hobby, the chink is for a gun, but I'm fairly sure it's meant for a heavy weapons team. Anyway, almost there with the first squad to occupy my defence lines. Also some other stuff I did with Tamiya. Tomorrow I'll probably fix up my Lehman russ eradicator.

**Ezra Tyrius**

Now I couldn't blame a tactical genius like Creed for mixing up similar-looking flags

Creed: Ah, the Cadian 250th! We're gonna need you fine gentlemen to beat back these devious renegades!

Trooper: Uh, Sir, we're the Cadian 342nd.

Creed: Wait, what? But you have the same icon and everything! How am I going to tell you all apart?

Trooper: Our badge has a blue and black stripe on it, the 250th has a black and blue one.

Creed:.....

Jokes aside, I guess it depends whether you're going to put a heavy weapons team where the chink is or not

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Maybe it would look better like this, and it won't get in the way of anything?

**Ezra Tyrius**

That seems like a better solution

The heavy weapons squads are looking good too

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Thanks!

**Matthew**

That looks sweeeeeeeeet.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Thanks. The next box on my to do list is revamp my eradicator, and I have started by highlighting all or the turret and right side, adding detail where needed aswell, and I've done my first proper freehand. However, I still need to do the left, the main chassis and dirty up the tracks. Enjoy. (Click on the images for better quality and the edits are for this message and getting the pictures to work)

**Matthew**

Boy, I am liking that colour scheme.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Thanks, originally it was going to be a lot shinier with silver comprising as the main part, but I decided I liked the dirtier look edged with silver.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Done the main body, still have the left, and also, I decided to do this.

**Ezra Tyrius**

Nice work, guess the crew doesn't like zombies

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Not after having to choose between killing zombie hordes or hell turkeys became the norm when playing against CSM in my local area.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

A model I made for the hunt, requirements are that you start off as a human, Ork or eldar with a pistol and knife, then as you kill bigger and more deadly monsters, you can buy gear in a points system specially designed for the hunt! So I decided to mix camo, Bane, a robot arm, a drum magazine pistol and a bayonet. Here is the result.

**Matthew**

The Hunt? Please do explain.

**CREEEEEEEEED**

Just a thing the guy who runs my local GW set up, where everyone brings in a single ork, eldar or human equipped with a close combat weapon and a pistol. Then you all run around the board killing dinosaurs and other beasts, and you get awarded points for killing stuff, which you can upgrade your character with for future hunts. So I chose a strange looking gun with a blade attached that could be anything so I wouldn't have to keep adding things every time I buy a new weapon. The robot arm and bane faceplate were just for coolness.

**Ezra Tyrius**

Monster Hunter meets WH40k? Sounds fun

**CREEEEEEEEED**

The first hunt went well, I managed to inflict exactly 0 wounds on any other hunter or the dionosaurs. And i had a sniper rifle, which at the time was the best gun on the table.

Anyway, the guy wants us to have stuff actually represented on our models, so i built this as a sniper rifle so i can keep on using this model rather than one of my actual guard snipers.

**angelofvengeance**

Nothing attached...
