Well, I'm fairly new to Dakka, but Viktor told me to open one of these up haha
Almost ALL of my stuff is done by me, and painted by me.
I apologize for the AWFUL quality of picture in advance. I shall remedy this soon. If you go to my gallery and look without opening them up, they look great as thumbnails haha
















Some terrain:





So lemme know how you like it, if you can even make them out through the bluriness haha

I would definitely say you need some better pics, but from what I can see those bikers look pretty sweet.

Yeahhhhhh, I hate this camera, I need to get my girlfriends its much better haha

Yeah and that terrain looks nice too

Thanks guys!

I threw all the terrain together in a few hours, and I love the way it came out. Once I get it all painted up, it'll probably be the outside "City" around the destroyed Titan table my friend and I are building.

But that'll be awhile before I get pictures of it hahaha

is that a double rhino to work as a landraider or truly a LR kit not completed? from the pic i can´t tell... the demons look very cool... but with them sme models i can´t tell where thy are from... enlighten us^^

that "Ent"- Dread on the left i definatly would like to see in a close up^^

also your terrai, while still unpainted looks very cool... where the heck are you guys getting all that neat stuff...wow

oh and yep... pushed you into the fray to open up a P&M blog^^ there can never be too many of us... we help each other and we learn from each other^^

cheers, up till sunday... i am on vacation for now...

Nice terrain.

@Viktor - Thanks!
The Dread is the one built from sentinel legs and a sentinal lascannon. The "Rhino" is not a kit at all, its built from balsa wood, and I just added the bits to make it playable haha.

The daemons are all custom built. The one on the left was built by a buddy of mine, and he traded it to me. Its made from Nid pieces and some chaos spikes. The middle one is a confrontation mini painted red with an added wing and spikes. The one on the right is built from all kinds of stuff. The base is built up to make a throne, she has possessed wings, a CSM torso, shoulders and arms, Confrontation Wolfen Legs, a wood elf bow and Confrontation sword, with a wood elf head.

Terrain is built from the same stuff as egg cartons, its recycled paprt pulp or somthing haha

@Neil101 - Thanks mate!

Oh, and the Rhino is built to run as whatever I'm feeling at the moment haha.

what about the underground?

The corner of a wahammer fantasy box, and some cut up pieces of card board for steps

Update:
I've been building terrain again today. I've got a full watch tower built that can fit maybeeee 10 marines, a silo/tower, two scouting tours, a soon to be glowing power conduit, anddddd a mini-turret.

Oh, and I based my dreadnaught/defiler today too.

Will get pictures up soon!

i hope so... sounds like it is worth to wait for^^

a balsa wooden rhino...cool! be sore to complete the thing! will you use GW treads for this or make your own?

I hope its worth it! hahaha

And it was, It was even worse to cut out the drivers cabin haha. I do have some GW treads, and I would love to use them, but for now its just balsa strips cut to look moderately like treads. I dont have quite enough to do the whole thing. Bits are a pain and price in the states.

maybe you go and have a look at some of my tricks i came up with to make me some treads...i atm have two tanks sitting on the shelf... buth with totally differently scratchbuilt treads sections...heavy duty cradboard is the trick for me...
it bends and it gules so easy... it really is sometimes a blessing... balsa wood... now that too is a nice material but it doesn´t cut all that well...also i had planned to use toothpicks and even some string done in macramee to get a nice looking tread section done...

Yeah, for me the balsa has broken too easily. I may switch over to a cardboard later.

I'm gonna try out paper mache tomorrow, and see what I can come up with. I'm going to turn a 4 drink cupholder from a fast food place into either craters, or a big droppod crater and some debris on the outside. It could be awesome hahaha

EDIT: OH! And I have an idea. Once the nid stuff comes in I'm considering turning my white dreadnought into a Dread/Stealer. Mix it up with some nid parts and stuff. It could also be amazing haha. But I'm not sure yet, because I'm trying to decided whether or not I want to build up my SM force too.

hmmm the nid dread could go both ways... be an exellent idea or could waste a mini... i am not sure...
papermache is in my view a very good way to get organic structures very easy... and you can built them up on almost anything... if you want to swith over to cardboard i still suggest making a support structure for anything you build from wood... maybe multiplex or MDF...those are "light" and sturdy at the same time...

Very true, and if all else fails I can make it a Tyranid hunting Dread and just keep it for my SM.

True true, I was thinking of building some craters and stuff today. Maybe a building and cover it in paper mache to give it that realistic look.

i once saw a tut on how to make crsaters with plaster and wood and sand... you just used bitz of odd shaped wood on a paper plate and then build up the surface... well now as i think about it this could even be much easier done in papermache too...^^

Yeah I may go with that now, cause Paper mache has proven to be my enemy hahaha

I cut the rim off of the cupholder, and flipped it upside down, then pulled the flaps out and cut some more in it, and then added hotglue. It looks like a pretty cool Tyranid/Daemon brood pit. Wayyyyy better than I anticipated haha

oh... by the way... do you happen to know about window colors? i used this for cheap and small jobs otherwise would be done by watereffects... so if you fill your brood pit and want it really messy looking in a good way you could try that out...also i too think hot glue can really fill up some space and keep structure steady... but why did the papermache fail? you do know it takes multiple "coats" of paper and glue to make it sturdy enough?

No, I did not know about that. I might look into that

And yeah, I know it does, it just takes too damn long hahaha

well...as they say... good things take their time^^

Viable hahaha

aye!

by the way... i am wishing to rush the post...darn... sometimes time flies by and sometimes it crawls...

Hahaha I know EXACTLY what you mean. I'm dyingggg for it to get here.

I could, quite possibly, lose my mind over the next week hahaha

yep... i know THAT feeling^^ had it happen quite often....blurbbubble....^^

I've found the hardest part is seeing all these cool paint schemes, and wanting to design my own haha. Nid painting is going to be a whole new game haha.

definatly... there is a nid painter out there... a website to help you with the choosing... but honestly i think it is crapy... and also i think the best way is look into a codex, choose a fetching scheme there and built around that your own... to see the color dynamics...for me nods lok best if done really disgusting^^

Hahaha good point. I'll probably look at some schemes and then just make my own. Never liked taking other peoples ideas haha

Update:
I should be getting my Tyranids within the next week, and I THINK I've decided on a color scheme.
Regal Blue Carapace, accented with other blues, and a blue "Tiger Stripe" pattern, and Scorched Brown skin/ or Bleached bone. And they're going to originate from Cygnax during the Badab War, and were unleashed because of the planet's death.

I'll get pictures up sometime soon, I promise haha
