Thought it was time to chuck up another 'Here's what I'm working on at the moment' thread... and just for a change, thought I might even put it in the right forum...

A couple of these have been posted in earlier stages before...


Wazdakka, now with 75% more hand (still needs a thumb):


Added a little more detail on these guys:


And started a new one...


Also working on a couple of commission projects, including this one:


...and this one:



Hopefully, more soon...

I am almost afraid to ask what the scout/termie reverse cod piece wearers are going to be....but what the heck are they?

I am interested to see what becomes of those Termintors with the added...harnesses?

As always your work rules

Always such awesome conversions coming out of you mate.

Those big termie backs becoming like rear head guards remind me a lot of the serpent guard Jaffa in Stargate

Wazzdaka look too small. But I always like your work, so I will wait for end results...

insaniak's site is all kinds of awesome...

Check here for what's going on with the Scout/Terminator work:

Very cool stuff as always Ins... those Scout Termies are truly unique Your sculpted Ork looks great as well... I'm always amazed by people who can really work with green stuff... 'Hmm, It'd be a pain to convert an arm to fit this odd angle... I know! I'll just sculpt a new one.'

They will eventually be counts-as Terminators for a Scout-themed army.

He's smaller than a Warboss, as he's modelled off a Nob Torso... but that feels about right to me. He's a Mek, not a Warboss... and that Battle Cannon has to be compensating for something

Pew Pew!

some good stuff on that page.. Thanx for the link alph. I think the concept of scout termies is awesome. Cant wait to see finished product. The pre hersery dread should be awesome also.

Intruiging stuff you got there man!

Legs taking shape...

Ultimate win. That's totally cool.

I agree, except for the croth belt.
That looks, at least at the moment, a bit awkward.

I think it has pads for the jewels as seen in the right pic... at least I hope so heh.

Insaniak.. pretty damn good man! I like how you actually thought out making pistons for leg assist. AWW-SOME

could attach some hydraulic lines to em?

Hmm, sort of "Imperial battlesuits"? Are those lascannon likes weapons you made from plasticcard going to be on those suits?

Nope, the lascannon is for the Dreadnought...

Are you going to scratchbuilt that thing like those cannons?

The Dread's based on a standard Dreadnought Chassis, but is otherwise getting a lot of scratchbuilt parts, yes.


Here's a progress shot on the lascannon, with a regular dread lascannon for comparison:

Yesterday, the house was ridiculously hot... so today I'm working in the 'air conditioned' office:




Here's the Dreadnought's upper arms taking shape:



The twin autocannon 'hand':


And the twin heavy flamer 'hand':

Baby terminators in nappies?

A little more assembly and filling on the Dreadnought weapons:







Legs taking (very basic) shape:



And rough shaping of the torso:

Exo-scouts: Added ends to the inner leg hydraulics, and started adding the padding in the hoods:



And a rough mock-up for the arms:






The scout's hand will be strapped to the inside of the 'elbow' on a rotating pivot to give him full movement. I'm thinking at this point that the 'forearm' is a little too long, making it look a little ungainly and unbalanced. I'll try shortening it up a little, and maybe add another upper arm hydraulic, running along the outside from shoulder to elbow, to aid in sideways lift.

The slide piece on the 'hand' could possibly stand to be a little longer, as well...

Awesome! Can't wait for more updates!

Amazing stuff! I am loving the look of the terminator scouts. Really remind me of the end of aliens :p And the dread naught pics you put up have my interest. I am looking forward to more updates.

This is some really outstanding work!

This is the work of a madman. Well done.

Oh that Pre-Heresy dread is going to be totally awesome!

Very nice. I agree the arms need to be much shorter though, they're out of proportion to the bodies.

the recoil on that ork bike gun must be terrible.
