They do look quite cool. I imagine they'd be good for Chaos Cultists for the 40k players. Just need to find a cheap source of additional torsos before I commit. (as opposed to ordering more expensive + shipping resin ones)

Playing with some conversions for this week's article.

Starting on a Broken settlement...

Going to be amazing Still need to get myself a stack of such boxes, very convenient...

Painted (mostly) pics, for part 1 of an article on building a broken settlement, which you can find on the Comm Guild blog here: http://www.thecommguild.com/roller/thecommguild/entry/terrain-spotlight-broken-settlement-part







The article has a bit of a walkthrough of how this building was put together, and will carry on with some other buildings and assorted bits and pieces to flesh out the settlement

Really nice work there. Once the Christmas break comes (and hopefully bringing some decent weather) I plan to do a bunch of scenery, so I'll definitely be checking in on your terrain articles in more detail.

Clearly that settlement you're starting up will work really nicely for games like 40k, and also Necromunda.

What did you do with the Repulsor's rear? Is it like a Batmobile, or did you find a way to cover up the lack of jets?

I removed the jet pieces, ran the tracks most of the way up the back, and then covered over the top with the long sections cut off the big grav plates that are supposed to go on the front. I'll throw a pic up when I get a chance...


Meanwhile, part two of the Broken Settlement completed... http://www.thecommguild.com/roller/thecommguild/entry/terrain-spotlight-broken-settlement-part1

That's way awesome! Merry Christmas Insaniak.

Haha, cool! Is that really powerful glue or did you manage to get that bend in the plastic bits permanent somehow?

Love the terrain pieces- and the figures are terrific- I'm stealing the color palette for your Broken infantry.

Bit of both. The trick is to carefully bend the plastic until it goes almost white, but stopping before it snaps. Also only bending on the thicker sections, not the thinner rivet strips between the panels (as they snap more easily). They spring back a little, but keep enough of the curve for the glue to grab.

WIP Angel Keepers for Maelstrom's Edge.

Those are pretty neat models. Looking forward to seeing your masterful hand brig them to life.

Group shot -

Love those figures.

Rawr! Playing with the Mantic crazy box..

Meanwhile, hab dome, made from a plastic bowl -



There's a walkthough of how it was made here: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/748752.page

Nice! Looks great with the shrubbery and the lamp post too.

I made myself a funky Victory Point tracker for my Epirians...
