Thanks a lot Mellon !

I have been terrible at finding hobby time these last weeks, but here is finally some time to log some progress.

My big spidery thing finally has an upper half and a gun. Well, the beginning of them anyway :


That thing is based on a big chunk of expanding foam I had removed from a LoER entry month ago...Yeah, I keep everything.


And my dark mech barge is receiving more and more components from time to time

Wow, yur dark mech barge looks like it has way more detail and compnents than I remember it having last time. It's cool seeing your chaos spidery thing taking shape. Keep up the good work

that thing is awesome.

Brilliant stuff. That scuttler is insane

Thanks a lot folks !

@Syro, I have slowly been collecting and adding various plastic bits for that cruiser, and indeed, just pulled the previous WIP pictures, it did change quite a lot in a few month :

Limited progress today, but added some fins on the barge's belly, and some additionnal texture in places that will be ruined/warp-tainted :

I failed to update this blog regularly these last days, almost as badly as I failed to make time for hobby...

Nonetheless, the following modesl are ready for paint, hopefully that will get the heresy train restarted !

A chaos battleship with a silly bridge



An heretek



And some dark mech mortar teams:

That bridge is impressively silly, suited for an admiral.

Mortars and heretek also came out looking good, will be nice to see painted.

oh fancy.
How's the spider coming along?

Thanks Vejut, the first coats have been applied, more soon !

Thanks too Not Online ! Not a lot of displayable progress on the spidery thing, I have mostly been scuplting the joints between organic and mechanic parts and finding some new bits. But It will get there eventually !

Also in this painting batch, a slightly converted old demon prince :

Good to see you back KernelTerror, I assumed running the latest LoER contest was keeping you too busy to work on your own blog.

Thanks Syro_ !
Not that much no, real life and work was to blame, as well as me for not make the time. But I'm back to painting now, more soon !

This is going to look great when painted

Thanks a lot Not Online, hope it will !

Finished five mortars today :








And the 6 mortars I have so far, I know @NotOnline, I need ten times that !

Great looking. Really

Thanks Not Online !

Finished some raiders today !

And some more ships !

Aaand more small ships ! Bigger things to follow...

Nice! Always wanted to goof about with BFG, but never got around to doing it before it died out. Good to see some more ships hit the table. Start of a fleet with some cruisers and such, or just some fun little guys?

Thanks Vejut ! I am building a fleet indeed ! For this painting batch I have the battleship above and the scratch built space hulk, then I still have a bunch of plastic cruisers waiting for their turns...And more scratch build ideas ^^ !

Short break from BFG, finished the demon prince today !

And finished two raging heroes models today, will end up being a rogue trader and a navigator.

They look really good, nice shading, characterful models, and I'm a sucker for nice abs on a model. The only thing I'd suggest would be changing the color on at least the inside of the cloaks--the shapes come through very well from the shading, but the boots/bodies and the cloaks aren't quite separating from each other like they should.

Thanks a lot Vejut ! Your point on colour choices is probably very true, I might have been influenced by the fact that these are nun models, and stuck to black. I have a few more, so I'll try richer patterns next.

But back to BFG, here is my crown of oppression battleship, with its scratch built quill and bridge :


And with some escort :

Those nuns and the demon turned out nicely. The colors remind me of John Blanche illustrations.

The daemon, nuns, and battleship all turned out nicely. I like the color choices for the two girls. The model for that daemon looks old school, is it from a while ago?

Thanks a lot Josh and Syro_ ! And yes Syro_, that is an old school metal demon prince, I just sculpted it a new neck to that it actually looks at its foes, and added the tail and sword.

On other news, the wife just offered be an airbrush for christmas, can't wait to try it. It will sureley alleviate a lot of the misery when basecoating builds made out of silly material or bloated with tentacles !

Only finished painting a side of my scratch build dark mech barge, but could not resist posting a teaser



More soon...

Excellent stuff but wheres the Heresy Train?

Hahah, thanks Llamahead !
A litteral heresy train would indeed look nice, I'll have to think about it ^^ !

Hmm, i like the ships.
