Okay, That is a wonderful conversion of 'Ole Ugly

Man, that Valdor is amazing! I keep meaning to look at using scale Panzers to stand-in for Leman Russ tanks-.the GW models are, quite frankly, daft.

That conversion of the taurox is insanely cool! i love it!

im working on the EOD arm at the moment, got a magnet under the front right wheel arch to make that conversion, also working on an alternetive turret for it.

Your Taurox is interesting, I think it had to be treated as a quad, though I'd like to do a fully tracked version I think.I like the classic rhino style top hatches btw especially.

the ares head is the front of a landraider and the top hull of a russ upside down... they fit together suprisingly well with minimal cutting and boxing it in was pretty easy... gonna work on it slowly over the next month... then to decide what paint job to give it... i dont want to give it the usual desert paint job this time...
i felt like the turox needed a top hatch just to keep the asthetic like the chimeras and such... but i prefer the overall look of the rhino doors.

thanks very much guys glad you enjoyed looking at my stuff

Veteran Sergeant wrote:Well, it's good to know that to make the Taurox not an awful, ugly model, all you have to do is discard 60% of the kit.

Excellent work. By you at least. GW, on the other hand...

yeah, although i got plans for the peices i didnt use i just felt i could use them better elsewhere and for other projects... i had an idea in my mind and i wanted to stick with it, even if i meant using very little of the actual kit.

Sheep wrote:Buffulo, minus the ridiculous side mounted autocannons, is what the taurox should have been from the start! great conversion mate.

Where are the wheels from?

thanks mate, wheels are from zinge industries... i need to leave them another good review because im constantly impressed with the quality of thier conversion parts, very well sculpted and cast.

Taurox - what an amazingly effective conversion, looks soooo much better mate (Zinge wheels for the win) - with a hot tub on the back no less, pimp my ride

Salute... I only got two Basius basing pads (the Sulaco pair)for when I get my AvP kickstarter models... My boy got the latest 'not Dr Who' model from Heresy. Spent the rest of the show getting inspiration for my next gaming project - wild west. I thought it was crazy busy at the start of the day - Forge World stand was ridiculous - but it quietened off a load after lunch. Good day though...

the stealth ship is finished being modelled, and holy gak i never seen the ship from cars 2... just did a GIS for it and im so getting that toy of it to convert... cheers for the heads up.
wow, you really used alot of willpower at salute then... i cant help myself... i blow a whole load of cash there every year..
yup the forgeworld area was mental... the moment we got there me and my mate split of... i went to anvil and to zinge to get my doggies and wheels, and he went to forgeworld to get the 3rd heresy book... he was still there 35 mins later queuing up... thankfully he got his book though....
saw a few things there that really interested me... the AvP stuff was excellent and i chatted to the guys who are doing the spectre kickstarter and i cant wait to get on that.... good times ahead.

is that what the americans call it? makes sense i guess... although i cant help but call it bonecrusher.


been thinking about making more infantry and charachters recently after reading the codex... i decided i need some new psykers that are a bit more alien than the psycho mantis figure i made a few years ago... heres the twins.




armed with laspistols and the claws count as force axes, i cant wait to start using them as level 2 guys with divination... gonna be great.

the d-day apoc stuff needs more updates. really. really.

Times up dude, we need to see something, PLEASE.

ive been finding it really hard to find time to hobby recently ... work has me travelling all over the country fitting graphics and ive hardly had time to hobby at all the last month..thankfully because of this, i have dodged having to do my home stuff... at some point i gotta lay some laminate flooring down and finish the diy crap i started back when my missus moved in...shhhhh she seems to have forgotten.


i did promise pictures of the appoc game... but me being me i forgot my camera... thankfully the other guys did take some photos so il grab em off facebook and put them up at some point... although im not in a rush to show you the EDF mostly on fire, smoking smouldering craters where my troops tried to complete the beach landing and even with a massive blood angel army for support, were mowed down in a storm of gunfire and artillery from the saftly of the bunker system... even the reaver titan with 2 warhounds in support were destryed extreamly fast...
we will be redoing the mission considering the imperial attacking force was 2 men light on the day... hence why we were about 8-9k down... fun still beut rethinking tactics for the next time.


so i cant provide the appoc game pics just yet... but how about some of my stuff i havent shown you guys yet?

i have forgotten my creed stand in for quite a while...
so here he is


i have had many people ask to see my nork deddog stand (JUGGANORK!) in in closer up pictures, so heres a better set of shots of him


next up is my taurox prime conversion, i call it the buffalo prime... let me know what you think of it now its got some paint on.




next up is an unusual one...

i love mass effect... and ive been trying to put the xenos races of mass effect into my army... i found this guy in the deadzone store and thought HANAR!
so hes become my astropath.


next up is my minotor superheavy stand in... i have a second on ready to be constructed now for a future game.



second to last is one of my custom vehicles i made up for use at the dday appocalypse game...
i call it the crocodile.
F-14 S-13 R-12 BS3 / hp 7 / 30 troop capacity / opentopped / amphibious / fast (water)
weapons / 1 twin linked autocannon / 2 heavy stubbers / 15 fire points



unsiprisingly it got destroyed first turn and disgorged my main command section with ogryn support into the water 6 inches from the shore...

lastly is the ship i was using for the appoc game aswell... we counted theis as a heavily fortified building to save to much bother and it sat out in the water blowing chunks out of the coastline defenses without taking a shot all game.




well i hope that has appesed you lot for a while... im kinda rubbish at updating my plog, which has been made worse because i have also begrudginly taken on a few commissions and i am building up my necron force to use in future appoc games if they pop up... maybe il show you lot them one day.

I really enjoy your blog and all the imaginative builds. I think the corvette is my new favorite.

I like your "Buffalo Prime". Where did the wheels come from? Also, that ship is super awesome.

Excellent work ashot. That boat is simply put, amazing.

Fantastic work throughout. Love it all. The boat is brilliant, but I am drawn to the crocodile, brilliant!

And although we would love an update every other day, it is cool dude, just let us see it all now and then.

Speechless!

Amazing as always and your painting technique has improved as well, the shading on the crocodile is spot on, I love the way you manage to combine 40k and current designs seamlessly

I have to say Nork Deddog is one of the best conversions I have seen, the body armour and webbing all seems to sit well and look workable great job all round.

Sorry to hear you had an ass whooping though but look at it like this they left good looking corpses LOL

It might have been a long wait, but totally worth it!

Everything looks ace, awesome display through it all!

Always worth waiting for your updates mate - and the Cars ship is great - just needs a set of eyes

So much win!

I have to echo LDD on that Nork conversion, bar FW, hands down the best Ogryn I've ever seen.

Taurox - Buffalo looks ace, still not a fan of the fender guns but the rest looks perfect.

I've been following your blogs on varius forums (warseer mostly) for a few years now. Good to see you still going

Great stuff, liking what i see

Amazing stuff ashot!

that's the best nork i've ever seen!

and i love the minotaur. really a great take on it!

and that crocodile is also amazing! one question though.. the threads are not turned at the same direction, is it supposed to be like that? looks great nevertheless.

and last but not least.. that corvette.. i love it! but what's the main armament of it? looks like it could be 2 twinlinked battle cannons

Very nice conversion work here!

Some very nice conversions/scratch builds here. Gives me some ideas for my guard whenever I get around to them again.

Subscribed!

I'm liking that taurox! Even more that GW's version

remember me?

i used to hang out here, build and paint models and sometimes even show off things i have done using photos and words... those were the days... dont get much time to hobby these days, not with the reality of adult life... oh im not married or anything, just overworked and underpaid.

but something happened... abeit very slowly.


tanks.







so heres the story... as you may already know, treadheadz designed and produced a fantastic kit and sent me 2 of them to paint up and show off, one was to stay standard in generic colours and markings, the second i was told to go crazy and include it to the ranks of the EDF.
I really cant thank Ivan enough for his generocity and have it known i will repay his kindness in the future somehow (i know how) and once he sorts out the A2 version of the Cerberous i would like to buy a full unit of them.
also... sorry for the delay dude... really really sorry.


Now for my favourite... my Paskunisher.

AKA Hardcore C22

I'm shocked nobody has posted yet! Those are beautiful! That is exactly how I wished the Leman Russ looked. Where can one get this kit you speak of?

Back with a BANG

Gorgeous models (as always)

Beautiful. I need like 20 of those!

Seriously, where can I get some of these. That is a beautiful model.

Oh those are some sweet and chunky tanks!

Fantastic to see you back.

Those are beautiful. The C22 is AMAZING!

And yup we need to have a link to the Hulls shop please.

It's alive!!!! That is a beautiful kit. How does it look with sponsons?

AWESOME !!!!!!!!

I hope you are working on commision here as you have just up the sales for these, liking both versions and the EDF standard totally rocks !!!!

I have to say your painting style has improved (not that it was not good before) just got even better

Mate, these are simply amazing, keep up the great work!

This is awesome stuff! You sir are an inspiration!

Love it. Very cool looking.

Though it seems like that coax storm bolter would be pretty difficult and dangerous to reload, lol.

its always worth checking in here... damn, those are some sweet builds and paintjobs!

buuuuuut
where are the apoc pics from last year! (apoc fanboy here)

i WILL absolutely continue to be bugging you about them until we get to see them!

Just read this in its entirety. This is such an amazing army. I just started my own small IG army, and I also wanted to have a modern military theme to it (albeit with less heresy than yours haha). The OICW on your ship is so well executed. I was thinking of putting a similar turret on a chimera chassis for a Hydra proxy.
TL;DR thankyou for giving me something to aspire to. Truly 10/10.

I got linked to this thread, from Pinterest ... There is some excellent conversion work here
