Is 'Eavy Metal Calling?





Affton, MO. USA

Always loved the idea of Field Police, even converted a few back in the day to go with my Adeptus Arbites. The store I worked at had these eyeglass repair kit displays at all the registers, each one had flashing red lights that attached to a AA battery pack. I condensed those down on a daily basis and brought home all the light kits when the displays ran empty. The Field Police had The older Rhinos with the flashing lights . "Pull over Abbadon you !"

Some more WIP from the bitz box marine army I'm definitely not starting but just playing around with.

Seriously though where did all these marine bodies come from? I've not bought marines in over 10 years!



Nothing too extraordinary, need to fix the gap in that jump pack and file that pistol.

The only interesting thing, besides seeing how many shades of grey GW plastic has come in over the years, is that the sentinel chainsaw (one of my favorite bits) is the perfect size for some sort of exo-skeleton chainsaw attachment (counts as Evicerator). I figure it's standard urban combat equiment for clearing debris, cutting through bulkheads etc.

Thinking of replacing all the normal chain swords with some kind of baton or club. Cracking skulls is much more 'law enforcement' than hacking up bodies with a chainsaw.

I think I bought one box of assault marines, in 1999.

And I know I built them because they were my tests for a samurai marine army (never got beyond those 5).

Somehow I was able to build 10 assault marines (I had to bitz order the jump packs) all with beaky heads and X strap torsos out of spare bitz. Plus 20 or so starter set marines.

Also I never want to see another damn chain sword again.



So about 50, 60 test models now...

Yeah. "Test" models.

And I specifically ordered the parts for 20 Assault Marines all with Mk.6 beakie heads. All 30 of them have beakie heads. Funny how that happens.

Now I genuinely don't know how many unbuilt Van/Sternguard Marines I have, and I know I have even more spare Marines on top of that (probably one section of a bits box with 20-30 legs alone). Then there are the Deathwatch Marines. Must be, 40 or them untouched on sprues.

Still not as bad as the recent clean-up I did where I kept finding full Custodes sprues in the weirdest of places.

Making some fancy pants judges now...







The BB Imperial Nobility look absurd but they're easy to head swap and a lot of the more over the top bitz can be omitted to make some classic Imperial Noble/Officer types.

And they're fairly cheap on ebay now.

Definitely a fun kit. As usual there's some annoying steps that seem designed to confound converters (each one had a unique neck so you have to file them to do head swaps), but overall fun.



This guy worked out so well I might expand the Mobile Oppression Throne to include a multi melta servitor and a scribe

They are fun and convertable models, but HUGE, they tower over 3rd/4th edition marines and anything human. Fine for assassins and the like but troublesome if you're mixing them into IG or Empire for that matter.

So a few pages and years back you'll find my Space Fleet mania.

One unrealized project was doing a fleet of 9 Gothic Battleships for the nine Loyalist Founding Chapters.

But of course that plan required a several OOP models so I've kept an eye on ebay hoping to eventually score enough.

When I saw some today I figured I should first check the Closet of Shame to see how many I already have and, therefore, how many I need.

Now my Closet of Shame ain't got nothing on HBMC's who manages to find whole unpainted armies there but it's OK.

So what's the count?



So, to make my set of 9 ships I need uh... Negative Three more. Apparently I already have 12 unpainted ones.

Still maybe I should get some in case I run low.

Lots to do of course but it looks possible.

There's still time to switch it to a more conventional design rather than a reference to a Star Wars ship like 4 people on Earth remember, but damnit if I'm going to this I'm doing it right.

Hrm. I don't speak Latin but I think my Google Translate for Field Police "Ager Magistratus" is actually Fields that are Police-like, rather than Police who hang out in Fields which would be Aliquam Agri neither of which is what I wanted.

Military Police gives me Magistratus Militaris

City Police gives me Urbis Magistratus

The Emperor's Finest (policemen) comes out as Imperatoris Optimi Lictores which I do like.

Yeah more test models. Cause I don't have nearly enough projects now.



Mark III marines + Death Guard bitz, mix of terminator and DG bits from a site.

The new DG models are fantastic, but too, too much for the line troopers, Mark III marines are suitably massive and brutal but still plain enough to be troopers and not possessed monsters.

Test models are just ways of slowly whittling at the inbuilt bits whilst potentially revealing ways to make big inroads on the grey pile (although I know it's far more than just grey in your pile).

The Mk III does fit in nicely, Papa approves.


Don't you get Optimi Lictores when tyranids invade Cybertron?

And the rest of the 7 man squad.



Lots of changes in how DG are armed since the last time I built them. Tons of weird weapons with identical sounding names. They can still get plasma and melta guns but no flamers only plague spewers or whatever they're called. No 2x plasma, BUT the champ can have plasma. And 2 different banners, the 'does a mortal wound' one and the '6 auto wounds' one.

Have to try a fighty squad next with the various maces or whatnot and the swords of bad sniffles.

Got the JLA Flying Fox toy.

(Yeah, projects, many.)



She's a big girl, could easily carry 2 rhinos or 100 troops.



The forward ramps are just the right size for IG models to do a Normandy Beach charge.



It still needs a lot of work (when?). Engines, hull details, hatch details, filling in the disk launchers etc but if you're looking to add a large shuttle to your terrain or games this is a good way to go.

On balance the Star Trek Runabout is better and less work, but now suddenly OOP.

Looks to have plenty of potential. Those front hatches could become breaching rams, could maybe fashion some small, standardised shipping containers that load via the hatches. Seems like there could be some interesting salvage from the interior too.

Is it tall enough to carry a rhino - if the front was converted to one big ramp would it appear to work?

He's a big boy, I knew MCP figures were big and Kingpin is huge even in that crowd. I feel like he needs more though. I'd planned to use a Marine head but the scale was just too off, he looked even more pin headed than he does now. Maybe a servo skull or a servant on his base?

Great idea to use Kingpin !! What about pairing him with a cyber animal ? Granted, most might be too small in scale next to him but, perhaps, a wolf from the Space Wolves ?
