You must have some serious hobby funds to pick all that stuff up at once! Not that I am complaining, I love seeing what you do with all these kits!

Oh, on a side note, your battle damaged marines inspired me to add some chips to my own army, no more clean armour for those guys!

The turret is being blinged up, and a metal handle was added to replace the resin stump that had broken off.

I'm trying, I'm trying gentlemen... I'm just a busy guy so it sometimes take a while

A small update


Just got a package from the states today, looks like it's review time ;D


For those in doubt, this is the entire wash series and pigment series + some other goodies from the secret weapon range from secretweaponminiatures.com
All this will be reviewed for gravengames.co.uk and will probably feature heavily here as well as there's a LOT of great stuff to play with

I love your models they make me want to finish building my PH IF however I know they won't look as awesome and godly as yours

another thing, do you think the forgeworld ASTERION MOLOC model would make a good Alexis Polux model, I would obviously change the shield and give him a power fist though, just wanted to know your thoughts on it as you are the masterful modeller/painter Thanks in advance

cheese !!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I have been wanting to make a Secret Weapon Miniatures purchase for ages now. Are those the shell casings I can see in the picture? They are the things I am most interested in!

Uhh, cheese

Thanks man, I appreciate the compliments And yeah the Asterion Moloc model could be used, the fists can easily rock the Greeko-Roman look

It is, and they are beyond awesome In general I am mightily impressed with the stuff SWM sent me, the washes especially are great, and the range has some wonderful colours

looking forward to the review , it'll be sure to make me jealous of all the lovely things.

Just a quick question, how did you make the squiggly bits of brass and the chains on your Dorn model? did you buy it or cut bits from a old brass sprew?

Thanks in advanced, Vanguard of the VII

Yeah I regard myself as a fortunate hobbyist to get the privilege of reviewing cool stuff like the SWM ranges, I'm a pretty happy guy

The squiggly bits of brass holding the chain are made from the leftover brass sprues, and the brass chain I had lying around but is fairly easy to get hold on

May I ask how you get them to look so... Squiggly?

Thanks I'm still refining my photoshopping skills, it takes time to master it properly but I am determined to keep improving my skills
And here's a little extra Angron image that I took this weekend, now that you're a big fan of pics with proper backgronds

Sure man I use a set of round pliers like this one;

and manipulate the jewelers thread around it

Dorn took a nice third place in this weekends the Fang comp. in GW Copenhagen, despite me forgetting to paint his loin bling's rivets and running out of time so he didn't get the freehand on his cape I'd planned(will come at a later stage)

Here's a few pics

All of your stuff is beautiful. Angron looks like the manifestation of carnage that he should be. Rogal Dorn? All I can say is I am dumbfounded. That is without a doubt the most beautiful Rogal Dorn model I have ever seen in my life. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Thanks man

Update time:

I decided to get some work done over the weekend, so I started my CoD tile (still waiting for those buildings to get here)

Decided to go for a greenish tone on the stone, and I plan to make the curb look like rusty steel, kind of like railroad tracks to make them stand out a bit. Same goes for the support girders on the side of the larger of the raised platforms.

I also decided to make the large stones on the highest platform another colour (haven't decided which one yet) to get some variation and make it look like decorative floor tiles as I intend to build a building to stand on top.

You are such a Badass!!

I've been looking at your AD-MECH force in your Signature.

I need to get back to 28mm but I'm so absorbed in my own little world of 15mm Cold War.

Your skills just keep astonishing me.

Hey man long time no see Yeah you should get back into 28mm again, your IH must be getting pretty dusty

I hope to get the time to revitalize my admech soon, as I want to make an allied contingent for my IF, I have bought a set of the new thallanx and they're beyond awesome

Nice call on the metallic pavement, really stands out nicely. Loving the chevrons on the raised section as well, just the right amount of colour and fading. Perfect!

So I've not done much on the fists for a while, but that'll soon change. Until then here's another photoshop for you all to look at

The original picture, DPA and Lorenzen had the opportunity to borrow some space on the Isstvan III board at the HH weekender.


And after I got my hands on it it now looks like this.


Hope you all like it, I'll get back to my painting table

Soooo, a loooong break from posting and I'm back again

And this time I actually have an update, the start of my allies for the banana boys, a couple of knights.

I have wanted to do this effect for a long time, and the knight kit is just perfect for this kind of lavish design.






Hope you all like it. I'll be back soon with more!

Hey TDA, I'm back on the HH bandwagon in a big way....Got some nice new shiny stuff.

Latest one.



Also saving for a Legion Glaive, and all the new Iron Hands Goodies they have released!

Also did you use one of those stencils to do that excellent Hexagon pattern.

EDIT - Could you add 30k to your Post Subject? I'm trying to show Lego Burner how much 30k is going on to try and get our own 30k board.
