Hello! I've decided to take the plunge and post some of my projects (conversions, painting and scratch builds) in the hope of getting some good feedback so I can improve. In that spirit, all comments and criticism would be very welcome.
I mostly play 40k (Imperial Guard / Inquisition etc) but am interested in all sorts, including Inq28 and Bloodbowl, and a bit of scenery building too. So you'll find all of those things here sooner or later, probably in a very disorganised manner.

Without further ado, a few pics of current projects:

(1) Imperial Guard rough riders (completed test model, rest of the squad is WIP)
(2) Inquisition troops (Crusaders, Acolytes/stormtroopers plus gun servitor)
(3) Some junk-built scenery - a damaged chemical refinery with toxic lake. Not sure where I'm going with this really, it'll probably be part of something bigger eventually.

Need to work on my photography, I know... most of these are on my painting table at the moment so I'll post more when they're done.

Looking good so far

Love that rough rider, and the putty work on the crusaders. I'll be watching this thread, thanks for posting!

Thanks for the comments, folks.

@scarper, the crusader with the helmet actually has the standard Cadian sargeant's head under the miliput. Always seem to have hundreds of those in the bits box so I figured this would be a good use for one.

These guys are starting to get some paint now, more WIP pics below. As always, C&C very welcome.

And introducing my as-yet-unnamed Inquisitor... Been working on her for a while but I think she's just about ready for some paint.

Well, the Inquisitor and her crew are progressing nicely. Next up after some final highlights, I've been building some underhive mutants to face off against them, and an acolyte / interrogator for the warband.

Can't decide if the mutants are a bit over the top, any thoughts or criticisms would be welcome!

Introducing Inquisitor Alaryx of the Ordo Xenos, with her two bodyguards and gun servitor...
Pretty happy with them, not perfect by any means but probably the best minis I've made to date. Just need some varnish and then I can get them off my overcrowded painting table!

Next up: more underhive mutants, and some Oldcromunda figs that have been in the paint stripper ready for a new lease of life.

Had a nice Bitz order arrived yesterday so I've been on a building spree.

First up is the beginnings of my Necromunda Orlock gang, made up of some conversions from the old 1995 metal minis along with a female ganger by Mark Copplestone. Yes, my Orlocks let the girls shoot. And I think when painted these guys will have enough style similarities that they'll work coherently.

Second pic is a couple of underhive bounty hunters I bashed together, and I really like these guys (in my head they're called Bill and Bob, no idea why). Bob, on the left, likes to drag his prey back alive for minimum mess, though he's not averse to cracking a skull when required. Bill (right) is a half-human, half-squat tracker who leads Bill to the target then provides some serious firepower to cover his back.

As always, c&c very much appreciated... Thanks for reading.

Mutants are emerging from the underhive...

Happy Christmas dakka-ites, and all the best for 2018...

I've been kit-bashing some Necromunda Bounty hunters while I save up for the Underhive boxed set... On the right is The Captain, who always brings his quarry back alive (just about); and on the left, his friend The Bloodhound, half-human half-squat tracker.

Well, I finally got hold of the Necromunda box last week so have started on my Eschers. Still WIP but these 4 ladies are well on the way to being finished. I've been throwing in some dark eldar bits as I build the gang, to give them a more diverse look. Let me know what you think!

You can also follow my progress in terrain building on the current LOER thread (link should be in my signature) where I'm reimagining some of the old cardstock Necromunda scenery using a variety of materials and found objects. There's some great stuff being made over there, well worth checking out.

I came to check out what else you've been up to other than the LoER terrain comp, and I'm not disappointed. I love seeing conversion work and sculpting additions to minis. I like the work on the Inquisitor and retinue. What material do you use when sculpting new parts onto your minis? I like the look of your mutants too, and I wouldn't worry about them being over the top, they're actually tame compared to some of the weird mutants I made for a Lost and the Damned force.

You might want to post your LoER terrain pics here as well as the contest thread for posterity. Keep up the good work.

Thanks @Syro, sorry I didn't see your post a bit earlier! Really enjoyed your work in the LoER thread as well.
I generally use Milliput for sculpting. GS doesn't entirely work for me, though I realise it does for most people. Can't really put my finger on why. It's probably partly because I got into the hobby in the mid-90s till early 2000s then took a 15 year Break... Never heard of GS back then but I certainly experimented with Milliput back then (it was expensive stuff in those days!!)

I'm about to do a bit of a photo dump here now I'm catching up, I'll certainly throw in some of the LoER stuff for posterity.

Thanks . Except for certain uses I'm not too much of a fan of green stuff either. I find it too sticky the way it grabs my tools even when I wet them, and how green stuff almost seems to fight back pushing against a detail I try to sculpt and seeming to loose the sharpness of that detail. I mostly use Apoxie Sculpt personally, but more recently I almost exclusively use a mixture of greenstuff and apoxie sculpt. It's worked veyr well for me. I think both Cam and WireCat have mentioned that mixing milliput with greenstuff works well for them, you may want to try it.
I'm looking forward to your photo dump

I like the work you do. Saw it in the LoER contest, found this thread. I'm glad I found it early on, looking forward to seeing the things you do.

Thanks for the comments folks, much appreciated. @Syro thanks for the tip about mixing GS and Milliput, I'll certainly give that a go.

As promised, bit of a photo dump now of stuff I've been working on while I was neglecting this blog a bit. Enjoy!

Cool stuff! I like how dark and brooding the color scheme on that servitor is. I really like seeing your Necromunda tower as part of a board now. Looking forward you your other Necromunda piece.

Cheers @Syro.

Few more pics here of some odd minis I've been working on. I'm running my first Inq28 game at the end of the month, using a hive city setting so there's a lot of crossover between this and my Necromunda stuff, both the terrain and the minis.

C&C very welcome, thanks for looking in folks.

Cool stuff! I like your models, and keep it up with the terrains, they seems very promising!

Thanks @b-tone, very kind of you.

Realised I hadn't posted this guy yet, a salvage hauler for the #nestorianinfestedpopulation project (look them up on the Facebook"Inquisitorum" page if you're so inclined...)

He's designed to be a manual labourer / civilian infected by a genestealer cult, though in this case the genetic changes seem to have gone awry and left something like a biological servitor, endlessly hauling carts of scrap metals and archaeotech.

Hello good folks of Dakka,

Lots going on in my workshop but keep forgetting to take photos... Here are a couple I did catch of some more WIP Necromunda terrain boards. C&C would be most appreciated!

Thanks for looking in.

Oops, managed to miss this one off...

Your work is inspiring. Well done all around.

Yep, couldn't agree more with Skalk. Great stuff going on these pages

@Skalk and @Ruglud - thanks, you are too kind!

Bit more terrain progress, not many minis being painted but I've got to get my underhive table ready for an Inq28 game next week!

Well, it's been an insane weekend of terrain building to get my underhive board finished on schedule... Couple of days left for finishing touches but here are the main bits I've been working on. As always, C&C very welcome, and thanks for looking in.

Text is a poor form of communication so I want to be clear up front that this is intended to be a respectful and helpful critique. I'm also offering solutions if you choose to pursue a change on your models.

Your ability to use random junk materials to build impressive models is excellent. Your weathering and shading technique truly brings the model to life. Unfortunately, the lettering, numbering, and hazard stripes you've hand painted are inconsistent and bringing the quality of your finished product down. Adding a cleaner element of detail will make your models even better than before.

Here are some possible solutions:

1- Numbers and letters- water transfer decals. GW transfers and O scale model train transfers would be what you are looking for here. I've been using them for years and they not only improved the look of my terrain instantly, they helped force scale perspective.

2- Hazard stripes- the hazard stripes in the pics are another quick fix- I copied a hazard stripe pattern online and used my home printer to print it to photo paper. I have a paper cutter but a hobby knife and metal ruler would be as effective.

Here's an example of some of my finished results:



3- Stenciling. I haven't tried that method but I've seen others that have and the results were very good. All the examples were done with airbrushes though and I'm not sure if you have one. If yes, it's worth trying. If not, nothing to be lost by trying it by hand on a test piece of plastic.

I hope this helps.

@Skalk thanks for your considered reply, I really appreciate it. I completely agree, especially about the lettering/numbering - I'm not happy with it in several places. It's really helpful to get an outside critique to help you focus on where to improve.
I like the idea of stencils but don't have an airbrush atm (moving to a bigger house in the summer so I should have a suitable ventilated workshop, fingers crossed...) - till then I think transfers are definitely worth a look.

Finished terrain looks like they kept their coolness promise!
If I can say it, good from Skalk to carry out the famous constructive criticism in a real good way.

This is some dammed good terrain. Really inventive and imaginative.

Thanks @PDH! Your Inq28 work has been a huge inspiration.

So the Hive City boards were finished in the nick of time for our Inq28 game up here in Huddersfield yesterday. Bit of a photo dump below - we had a blast, and the terrain will now stay at the club for Necromunda games.

As always, c&c very welcome. I'm going to take a short break from terrain building (though not long since the new LoER challenge is up and running), and build/paint some minis. WIP shots to follow...

Thanks for dropping in.

Looks great, a lot of people are going to have fun battling on that.

Wonderful blog, excellent work and inspiring ideas going on here, following closely.

That's excellent. I like how you use anything and turn it into weathered terrain.

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

And now for something completely different...

Three Inq28 figures... The first is a Rogue Trader, who will be getting her own warband; the other two are part of my Ordo Xenos Inquisitor's team.

A very quick upload of my Ordo Xenos warband, or at least the completed ones.
(L-R) Magos Biologis, Tracker/Sniper, Inquisitor, Interrogator and Stormtrooper. There's a servitor on the painting desk as well, just deciding what else to add.
c&c welcome as always, thanks for having a look.

Wow, they are some nice minis, great job on them, got a nice grimey, grim dark feel.

 Camkierhi wrote:

Thanks Cam. I'm a big fan of the grimdark!

And something completely different again!

Can't remember if I've posted this guy before, he's a Genestealer-infected civilian scrap-hauler for the Nestorian Infestation campaign (check out https://bigbossredskullz.com/2018/01/16/infesting-a-population-nestorian-style/ for more info.

Yes you've posted him but w/o paint. That's a brutal looking model. The 41st millennium is a wretched and hopeless place.

Wow that scrap hauler mini has so much character!

Thanks guys. @Skalk, that's exactly what interests me about the 40k universe (and why I tend increasingly to go in for games like Inquisitor and Necromunda rather than 40k itself).

So, since it's International Women's Day, here's a pic of my new Inq28 warband. They'll be led by Rogue Trader Calissa Peronix (centre) along with her two daughters (currently different stages of WIP). Looking forward to building a cast of supporting characters for them with a strong Mechanicus flavour plus ship's crew.

As always c&c very welcome, thanks all who take the time to read and comment.

Very nice work.

That sniper rifle reminds me of this....


https://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/chinese-jingal-wall-gun/" target="_new" rel="nofollow"> https://www.forgottenweapons.com/rifles/chinese-jingal-wall-gun/

Awesome.

@Cam, I thought you posted a picture of a punt gun at first.

@Apollinaire: Nice! I think we'd all love to hear the backstory you create about them as the full team develops.

Thanks guys, @Cam love the photo! It is a bit of a ridiculous weapon, I've been toying with the idea of putting her on a long base with a tripod.

It's been a busy (ish) weekend of putty work, priming, and scrounging junk for more terrain... Photo update to follow (hopefully) in daylight tomorrow!

Bit of a photo dump coming up here...

First up, WIP photos of my new Necromunda Orlock gang. I decided to go old school rather than investing in the new kit just now. They're a mixture of the old metal and plastic minis salvaged from my mum's attic (I bought some of these guys when I was 13!!!) plus 3 of the female gangers from Copplestone miniatures (all patched up and/or converted).

Next pic is my latest terrain junk-build - a chemical factory and base for my Escher gang. (More photos on the current LoER thread).

And finally a kit-bashed Daemonhost I've been messing around with, to join one of my Inquisitor's retinues.

As always, c&c very welcome and thanks for taking a look.

It's cool that you customized your Orlock gang, I always enjoy that. It looks like your daemon host is going to be tramped in some kid of tank to contain him? That's a cool idea.

 Syro_ wrote:

Yeah, the new Orlocks look great but I really wanted to re+use the few survivors from my original late-90s gang...

The Daemonhost is going to be heavily chained up, I had some spare bitz lying around from the 40k tactical objectives kit so I'm going for a mobile glass-fronted coffin/prison idea.

Dude! Where did you get that awesome vaulted see-through case-tube thing? I've been looking for something like that for ever and it's perfect!

Thanks for sharing those pics. I always enjoy seeing people pull out 20+ year old models for another run around on the table.

The Daemon Host is inspired and I'm really looking forward to seeing where it goes.

 Ynneadwraith wrote:

Yeah I was pretty pleased to find it.
It's part of the Sector Imperialis objectives kit: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer-40000-objective-markers-2017

Bit more work done on my Rogue Trader & crew, so here goes a bit of fluff to accompany the pics...


Calissa Perronix is a Rogue Trader fallen on difficult times. She comes from an aristocratic family, a powerful and influential lineage. In her younger days she travelled beyond the very edges of the Imperium, seeking wealth and knowledge amongst the stars. And soon she will again. But for now, she finds herself stranded on the hive world of Piety in the Calixis sector. When her ship dropped out of the warp on the edge of the system, the sanctioned psyker on her crew, old and wise though he was, finally lost his mind to the terrors of the immaterium. The horror he unleashed tore through the Explorator vessel and most of the crew in minutes. Calissa had seen a thousand horrors on the edge of the known galaxy, but what now appeared within her very ship was far beyond her experience. She made it to the shuttle bay with her daughters, Sabine and Lisbet, and her loyal abhuman bodyguard Kollyn. They took the shuttle to the nearest planet and left their great vessel (and her entire crew) to its unspeakable fate.

Calissa's daughters are polar opposites and dislike each other greatly. In keeping with the family's inherited ambitiousness, they are both determined to be the sole heir to their mother's fortune and lucrative Explorator's License when she retires or worse. Sabine is outgoing and flamboyant, an agile warrior who wields dual heirloom pistols and likes to see into the eyes of her enemies before dispatching them and dancing away to safety. Lisbet is quiet and sullen, especially since losing both legs beneath the knee in a xenos ambush when she was a teenager. She also carries a family heirloom, a sniper rifle of remarkable accuracy, and her mother gifted her the finest bionics she could buy. So Lisbet can usually be found moving silently but surely across rooftops, towers and walkways, dispatching threats before the rest of the crew know they are there.

And Kollyn... well. No-one is quite sure what race Kollyn is. Possibly Ogryn, possibly mutant, possibly worse. But a lifelong servant of the Perronix household, his loyalty is unquestionable, and he would step into the face of any horror to protect the members of the family.

So for now, the Perronix family are stranded, with only a short range shuttle, no crew, and limited access to their enormous wealth. They have many challenges to face before they set off for the outer edges once again, not least finding a suitable spacecraft and the companions who will join them.

So I know I'm not a great writer, but you get the gist. Here are some photos:

And almost forgot... Some more WIPs of my Daemonhost, interior almost done and ready for assembly.

As always, your C&C are very welcome!

Wow! Great looking progress!

A few more WIPs here, trying to finish some bits off before I go on holiday next week but just end up starting more stuff!

And almost forgot this Guardswoman... I discovered that you can glue spare Escher faces into the empty helmets from the Cadian command squad set!

Loving your work on here! I've been acquiring bits and pieces myself with a view to making an INQ28 warband and this is some inspiring stuff.

Thanks mate, I appreciate it. When you get your warband underway you'll have to pop over the Pennines for a game! Inq28 is pretty addictive once you start, though

Nice work on the female contingent, always good to see. Not silly, just as it should be. All looking good bud, gritty.

Thanks Cam.

So I finally finished the Daemonhost last night... Here he is in all his imprisoned glory (except for the base) and in the last pic, accompanied by a servitor to keep the sarcophagus safe and mobile, plus my Ordo Hereticus inquisitor and priest.

I've got to admit, I'm pretty pleased with this one. Any C&C are still most welcome though.

You should be pleased with that daemon host, great vision in planning it, and great mini that you made.

 Syro_ wrote:

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words

So I did manage to finish my true scale Grey Knight for the March Painting challenge before I disappear off on holiday at stupid-o-clock tomorrow morning - though I'm not quite satisfied with the details yet so might revisit him. The pic shows him next to my Ordo Hereticus inquisitor for scale.

Also been building more Necromunda terrain - a base and chem factory for my Escher gang (which I'm calling Stimm City), and some very early attempts at zone mortalis wall sections.

As always, c&c much appreciated. I'm signing off for 2 weeks while I visit the in-laws in Canada, no hobbying will be done but I might well drop by the forums and catch up properly with other people's threads!

Hello Dakka-ites!
Back from holiday, though hobby time & equipment is a bit limited till next week. I've been kitbashing though, and started off this tech-priest of the Magos Oceania (check out the Mare Solum group on FB for more background/fluff relating to this build - https://www.facebook.com/groups/481877232185342/ ).
As always, c&c very welcome indeed. This is a very early stage WIP though

Couple more WIP shots of the nautical Magos below... H/T to Nikki and Richard on the Mare Solum page for the background fluff:

"The Magos Oceania are a smaller sect of the Magos Biologis, specialising in the study and cataloguing of marine lifeforms on all planets. They have a large presence on Mare Solum due to its wide array of aquatic fauna and flora. They utilise bionics and technology that is waterproofed and highly corrosion resistant. Teams of Magi often submerge for days and sometimes weeks at a time for research fieldwork using locally made servitors based on aquatic wildlife to assist their studies. Often they graft vat grown appendages to their bodies to make themselves more suited for under water travel and survival."

Looking really cool. What gave you the idea for those skeletal dragon like heads coming out of him? Also where do those bits come from. I like the air tanks on his back, as nice touch to tie in with the fluff

Oh man that's cool really must have a go at some of the Mare Solum stuff. Is it primarily a facebook thing or are there other areas with a decent amount of content for it?

Awesome build. Excellent choice for the head.

 Syro_ wrote:

Cheers Syro. The dragon heads started life as a sea monster piece from Dreadfleet which I chopped up. Spotted it in an eBay bitz store which gave me the idea.

@Ynnead I'm only aware of Mare Solum on Facebook. Its a really nice little community, lots of Inq28 people involved but a really broad range. Its intended as a community-developed setting in the 40K universe so not tied to any particular rule set.

Thanks also for the kind words @youwashock.

Been a bit of a slow couple of weeks but hoping for more hobby time and updates in the near future. Thanks to those of you who've stopped in here, all the best.

A bit more progress on my Magos Oceanum... Still lots to do but I'm pretty happy with him so far. I've been building some associates for him as well, pics to follow when I've made a bit more progress on them!

Cheers Syro. The dragon heads started life as a sea monster piece from Dreadfleet which I chopped up. Spotted it in an eBay bitz store which gave me the idea.

Thanks, and that was good thinking. It came out looking really cool. Nice progress on the painting also

Hello friends and fellow Dakka-ites!

It's been a while... RL has been crazy to say the least... But here are a few pics of what I've been building in my spare half hours.

C&C very much appreciated, thanks for looking in.

Nice work on the daemonhost and the magos

Thanks @monkeytroll.

I think I've made enough progress with my Magos Oceanum to post a quick update.
The Magos is just about done along with his Praetorian Servitor bodyguard and his flying abomination (still working out what to call this one...).
Final pic is a couple of WIP Skitarii who will serve as the Magos' meatshields, ahem, I mean loyal servants of the Omnissiah.
C&C very welcome! Also name suggestions for the flying/hovering thing would be appreciated.

Puts me in mind of a jellyfish or a ray of some kind, which is fitting I suppose, but doesn't immediately help with a name...

I'm digging the color scheme on the magos oceanum. I agree with monkeytroll about the one being reminiscent of a jelly fish. Maybe try out some of the scientific names for jellyfish with slight changes? Jelly fish are part of phylum Cnidaria (the c is silent so pronounced ni-dare-ee-ah) if that helps.

Ooh, thanks for that guys. It could be a Cnidaritor. Or a Cnidarian Dragoon!


Automatically Appended Next Post:
OK, thanks to suggestions both here and on the Mare Solum FB page, the flying fish-abomination has a name...

I present the Cnidarian-pattern Nautilus Assault Servitor


(Inspired by https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus)

Nice!

Very quick update today - making progress with my Chaos Cultists for Necromunda, and got them onto the table today at last!
Little bit of finishing off to do then I'll post the full group shot.

Well, they look good on the table

Wow, awesome work on these guys, love the finish.

Everything you're doing here is so grim and gritty, really captures what I see in the Underhive when my mind wanders. The picture of the gang together nails it.

Proof of life...

It's been a tough few weeks IRL especially with a big house move going on, but I'm still managing a little hobby time.

I've just about finished up three Armsmen for my Inq28 Rogue Trader's crew. Bit of finishing up to do, especially on the power maul. Second pic is the whole crew so far, Rogue Trader Calissa Peronnix , her two daughters and her surviving crew. In the current narrative campaign we're running, these guys are trapped on the Hiveworld of Piety after their ship was infested by daemons on exiting the warp.

Looking great, not even accounting for this being mid-move.......

Wow, fantastic work, some really imaginative stuff going on in here! Love the terrain as well, very dingy and grim!

Hello friends!
It's been a while... To say the least! Crazy time with a complex house move and limited hobbying time/space.
But... I've finished my N17 Chaos Cult gang for the campaign we're running in Huddersfield, (photos to follow when I find where I packed my camera!) and here are a few WIPs I've been fiddling around with in the meantime.
As always, C&C very welcome indeed.

That bounty hunter is very cool.

 insaniak wrote:

Thanks! I'm converting a group of them from the Goliaths I got in the N17 starter box... I'll post a group shot when I get chance.

I hope things return to normal soon from the move if they haven't already. I'm glad you're still managing a little hobby time.

Hello friends!

Thanks for the kind words. Life has been hectic with the house move, new place is a bit of a renovation project so I've been painting more walls than minis

Anyway, I got a boost this week from splitting a Kill Team box with a friend... Big old pile of plastic has resulted in a new Inq28 warband (currently thinking freebooters/ pirates/ mercs), plus in the final pic, the last 2 members of my Magos Oceanum warband which will be heading to WHW in October for the Mare Solum event.

As always, C&C much appreciated!

(Not sure what happened there with the file upload but here are the Comms specialist and demolition expert from the Inq28 warband...)

Proof of life ..

Been finishing of my Necromunda Chaos cultists, and building a few true-, scale CSMs to use with them for Kill Team... Apologies for the poor picture quality (still in chaos after house move) but C&C very welcome!

More pics of current projects to follow when I have a chance... Thanks for stopping by!

Cultists look good. With the marines I'm not convinced the original beakie head works - they can look a bit off on modern marines, with a true-scale I think it'll be a bit more obvious. On a similar note, the power fist might benefit from adding a newer pad, but less noticeable than the head.
Obviously this is with it all blu-tac'd in place, so may not be an issue at all

Thanks Monkeytroll. I know what you mean about the old bitz... Just being a bit sentimental I guess, it's 25 years since I built my first space marines and I can't imagine building a Kill Team *without* a beaky head in there somewhere!! Hopefully I can make it work when the blu-tack is replaced with Greenstuff

And on a completely different note... Been playing around with some Kill Team terrain and a plasma globe... Just faffing around atm but more to follow when I figure out where I'm going with it!!

Bit more progress on the plasma ball / kill team terrain... Hoping to get the pics the right way up this time!

And because I really can't focus on one thing at a time... Some reinforcements for my Inq28 Ordo Hereticus warband, a stormtrooper and a Sister of Battle.

As always, C&C very welcome Indeed.

And further demonstrating that I have the concentration of a gnat, and have far too many projects on the go at once - here are the Rangers for my Skitarii kill team!

One day I might actually finish something...

I have the same problem staying focused on one project. The Rangers look good

For the plasma ball are you fitting a small powerbank in the base/another bit of terrain, or are you wiring it elsewhere?

Nice sister head!

Liking the colour of the ranger cloaks.

Cheers guys.

@monkeytroll, the Sister head is from Anvil Industry, they do some lovely bits.

For the plasma ball, I'm planning on building a bunker which will house a charging pack... Eventually... !

I really love the aesthetic of the Skitarii stuff, those long rifles are just beautiful.

@Cam thanks mate.

Quick update since I've just about finished my Renegade Astartes/ cultists Kill Team.

The Dragon Lord and his battle-brothers were cut off from the rest of their (unknown) chapter, presumed dead, on the border planet of Bellerophon's Fall.

The Astartes soon realised that the locals worshipped them as gods, and so began their descent into heresy. The squad seargeant restyled himself as the Dragon Lord, channeling an ancient myth on the planet.

After overthrowing the planetary government, the Dragon Lord and his followers set off on a plundering spree throughout the sector. And so they continue, a small band of the lost and the damned, wreaking havoc on the edges of the Imperium.

C&C very welcome

Just went through the whole thread and I like what I see! Great wacky conversions, I love all the bits that you found to give every model lots of character.

Any more plans for the watery mechanicus fellas? Seems like a great concept that has lots of potential. An Ad Mech submarine with some big grabby arms would be super cool...

You really nailed a style here, this crowd are really great.

Thanks very much guys.

@CommanderCain thanks for the kind words. I've finished off the Magos Oceanum crew and I'm down in Nottingham this weekend for the first UK Mare Solum meetup at Warhammer World (first visit - very excited!)... More photos to follow!

So here's the finished crew of watery AdMech for tomorrow's event at WHW.... I'll hopefully have some shots of them in action before too long!

C&C welcome as always... Now these guys are done I'll hopefully be able to update on my miriad other projects next week!

Wow! Davy Jones' crew in the grim far future! Terrific ensemble!

Pics are a little blurry but from what I can see they look awesome!

How did you get on then?

They look bloody amazing.
