Thanks for that link, I may need to go broke there at some time.

OK I thought that was the manufacturer but it's just a toy seller in Malaysia. So search for it in your favorite retail site.

Fresh Retro Scene in a box Fortifications B is the product.

I see a Lightyear truck
I want to paint it brown,
no colors anymore
I want then to turn brown

My hobby supplies are still a month out but I thought I'd at least basecoat some of the toys I've been amassing. Four Lightyear trucks, an Armadillo Shuttle, a fighter and two Indian trucks.

Well, my 185 boxes have caught up with me and the great digging out has begin.

Also this happened...





Also Hexbane's Hunters have found their proper place as Witch Hunter Jacques Faber, greatest Witch Hunter of his age, known for his hounding of the Rogue Trader Midas Bombast. And his droogs, three Assassins.

I hate when boxes of minis fall out of the sky on my head!

I had to wait till GW had them in stock again.

They will become, in time, a counts-as SOB army the Brothers of Law. And they'll be getting six rhinos. The Enforcer cars will probably just be IG.

Really hyped for this project mate, great idea

Great project- I've wanted to convert Hexbane's Hunters myself.

Look forward to more.

Mulling this...

I have my tower of Arbites to start on, but I also feel the call of my metal IG.



This is where they stood in 2016 and it would nice to unbox them and get them into shape.

Of course with Vet squads gone I now need a ton of Tallarn riflemen to replace the illegal plasma gunners.

So I looked at the Ole Tallarn army, lots of 5th edition mech-vets with 3 plasma guns and a heavy, all illegal now

Closest match seems to be DKK who can have 3 special weapons, but only 1 plasma and no heavy. So find some riflemen and move my autocannons into a separate unit.

Grenade Launchers seem suddenly useful so maybe squads of 2 GL/1 plasma along with mech squads of 2 melta/1 plasma.

Heaven only knows what I can do with my 4 plasma command squads.

And I just know as soon as I finish this, GW will invalidate it again.

It's tough innit mate? i'm dragging my eolian desert fighters back into the fray, and finding all the units I built for 9th are invalid. Good luck!

Finishing a Dorn tank I got last year - mine seems to be missing a hull plate, I have to call customer service - and found that despite having an absurd number of guns it cannot take a hunterkiller missile.

Somehow this bugs me.

OK, so like in the process of moving from Egypt to India (by way of America) I had failed utterly to find my paints and modeling tools among the 187 boxes. So after two months of looking and checking every box twice I gave up and bought $200 in paint when I was home last month.

I joked that meant I would find them the next day.

I didn't

It took 2 weeks and today they turned up in a box I swear I checked twice.

But don't worry, I am sworn to only use my summoning powers for good and never for evil.

Now where did I leave that canister of anthrax, I sure would hate to have to buy another one.

Some actual modelling done, a Rogal Dorn tank, 2 shuttles (prison and Inquisition) and 3 Horus Heresy Demios Rhinos for the Brothers of Law.



I am inordinately proud that both the Dorn and Rhino #1 have a Rogue Trader Rhino ammo box. I think it was my last two but I like the old to new hand off.



Those Demios Rhino kits are really good.

A lazy evening's conversion, McLaren sports car to flying car.





Hopefully it will look better painted.

No painting as yet, even if it's been a month since bought replacements AND also found my paints.

But lots of modelling down.

First off an ebay/bitz box raid to get a better Lord Solar for my Tallarn army.



Old fantasy Al Muktar and bitz and putty.



Then some DA vets into Blade Guard (yeah I know they're not primaris, this is very much a just for fun project)



And finally, celebrating the End of the End and the Death with some Stormcast to Emperor & Horus action. Even with his steps Horus is still a bit short, I'll have to see if I can boost him again.

I build a grand total of one (1) Arbites and it was as I feared. A 10 part model with zero options, even the holstered pistol slides into a slot. Very much NOT FUN to build.

Flying car looks ace. Lord Solar looks fun. Great work all round.

Not my work just parking some images for inspiration







Nothing to see here

You should be forbidden from posting pics like that. Makes my wife roll her eyes at me.

M.

So I can hardly do the Emperor vs Horus without some Custodes amIrite?



Before...



And after. I always liked wrist guns over the spear guns, they just look less awkward. And the new Thin Sigmarines are so so good.

3 more to go. Lets hope the bitz box can continue to provide.

Another project, the long awaited Stormy Giants!



(not to be confused with any Presidential Water Sports Enthusiasts with a similar name)



12 parts, no alternate builds or optional bits. Even the shoulder pad and sword have parts of the body and cannot be omitted.



5.5" (140mm) tall, and just $22

And I have plans for it... oh yes.

But they'll have to wait until an order arrives.

So I finally built this display set I got in Hong Kong.



Took an hour or two, less time than Rebel Moon II-the Moon of Rebellion, I know that.



All parts come clipped and sorted in zip lock bags, no sprues to cut. No glue needed, you can even take it apart and reconfigure it later. No paint either, thought mine will get some.

It's meant for large scale action figures but this set was sufficiently scale agnostic that it works for 28mm/1-56 scale figures I think, it should fit a 1500 point army with little difficulty. It could also work for gaming.

Not sure if they are still in production but found them in a few spots in Hong Kong last Autumn.

Last post for today, two armor cars courtesy of the Marvel Hulkbuster Truck and a deep bitz box.





The bright blue turret is at least 20 years old from an old project to turn a Matchbox cargo plane into a drop ship.

I do really like those armoured cars.

The site is really slow today, apparently we're getting hit with denial of service attacks as various bots scrape data for AI.

Hopefully this works, some WIP terrain.





Ramshackle Church by Renedra (+some GW details). A good size, 6"x4" or so, lots of character. The connection points were not as well designed as I hoped but overall good. My main complaint is the walls are only details on one side, which is an issue when the building has open windows and gaping holes in the walls.





And some souvenir shop terrain left over from Egypt, just additions to my wasteland spaceport. My thought is that on that world computers and communications take the form of massive oracle like statues. Hence the techy bases and keypads.

Assembled the first squad of Brothers of Law.



12 models including the drone and Good Boi. 10 will count as Battle Sisters.



The drone as the cherub marker, the doggie will join the Sisters Repentia/K9 squad.



But oh my gosh, so fragging annoying to build. 11-12 parts for an ordinary rifleman! The radio on the back, separate part! The holster on the side, separate part! The pouches on the belt, separate part! And none are optional, they slide into a hole so if you leave them off your dude has a hole in his body.



Squad specialists, sarge, webber/heavy flamer, grenade launcher/melta, festivus pole/icon.



Special weapons dudes have their 'real' weapon on their backs so there's no confusion.

Only 50 more to go!

Sending strength. They look really rad, nice base toppers too. Sisters rules is a smart call as well.

Some more modelling done.



5 Stormcast to Adeptus Custodes, I just like this armor better, the Custodes always look too overdone, like how can they move in all that stuff?




And squads 2 and 3 of the Brothers of Law. These stick and board guys count as... whatever the Battle Sister stick and board squads are called. 2 squads of 5 to ride in Immolators with a character.

In love with these conversion. So cool.

That ramshackle church looks nice. I'll have to check out that Renedra web site.
Also those arbitrators squads always have me hearing Sylvester Stallone saying "I am the law".

Thanks for the kind words!

Y'know I wasn't planning to get into Horus Heresy, but then I found you can have a squad of badass firemen with their laser fireman axes...

I am so tempted.
