This week has been mostly Berserk :



There is more info on my blog (as usual):

http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/im-going-berserk.html

Amazing work and amazing sculpting. Very impressive stuff both here and on the blog.

Cheers

It was pointed out to me that the angry Berserker had a 'monkey mouth' and I looked at it and agreed... so I have altered it a little and have seen an improvement . I listen to constructive criticism :

Stunning. And that pistol is freakin' hilarious

Cheers

All the berserkers are finished now:



There are individual pix of all of the berserkers and a WIP pic of the next unit (veterans) over at Inso's World:

Here's the first five Veteran Tyranid Hunters (more info on my blog: http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/veteran-tyranid-hunters.html ) :

The berserkers are simply astoundingly good! And I like the look of the hunters too, a bit more "sci-fi"

Great stuff all around, take a bow!

Cheers

I have the other five on the table but they will be on slow burn until next week... I'm off partying and doubt I'll be able to hold a sculpting tool without shaking

It's been a slow week but the lasgunners for the Tyranid Hunters are all at the same stage now:



This pic shows the press-moulded heads that I made so that I could have space inside the helmet to sculpt on each face. These are all in need of faces (obviously), the helmets being filled/cleaned up and then it is just a case of gluing on the arms and packs.

I am thinking that a couple of these will have some facial disfigurement/bionic implants and one may even have a full face-plate to hide his terrible injuries. I have also started a third detachment for my army but I am not in a position to share anything interesting just yet... but it will be fun .

That's brilliant and I love it

Cheers

... and now... Hmmm...



Just the start of something (currently 18mm tall).

Still very WIP but I am getting there :

Nice work dude. The sculpt is coming along nicely.

EDC

Cheers

Here's where it's at now:



I reckon the cat is out of the bag now as well... Vindicare anyone?

Wowza! Can't possibly be any greater squat army in the world right now than the one you're making. It's just top quality work through and through. Your talent for this is jaw-dropping!

The finished Vindicare Assassin :

awesome work with molds.

Five finished Squat bodies, ready for sending to their new owner :

I have had a dodgy moment with the Eversor Assassin and he ended up massive... so I did this instead... I went and finished the veteran Tyranid hunters :

Oh those guys look great with the Skitarii gear added!

Kick-ass squats! I'd never have thought that would work with skitari arms but there it is.

Cheers

They are shortened Skitari withGreenstuff bodies and heads. The helmets were press-moulded from a single sculpt (so they were all the same).

The rifles were also shortened and they represent lasguns and plasmaguns.

This squad is a veteran Squad with carapace armour (due to the mechanical bodies).

These are looking absolutely beautiful, awesome skills.

EDC

Cheers

The next squad will be my veteran ladies

Or not... and so the production line starts again. From leg sculpt, to press moulding and finally to being assembled with plastic components from a Mantic Steel Warrior... all that is needed now is the belt buckle, pouches and holsters to be sorted out and these will be finished:



I have another lump of putty in the mould at the moment and that should be ready to remove tomorrow.

I plan on having six squads of five and that means I need to sculpt five different poses of legs to make every squad have no legs the same. I have already finished the first unit of five in one leg pose, this is the second with a third leg sculpt 'on the corks'. Once I have produced six casts from each of the five leg poses, I will mix them into their final units ...

Then I will have six units of Squat Hearthguard (count as Space Marine Scouts) .

They are all finished now:



Lots more information about them can be found on my blog:

http://insosworld.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/a-rainy-sunday-morning.html

Next up... another leg sculpt to complete .

They are coming along very nicely! primed squad really looks hard to tell that they have custom parts(legs), so well done!

Great work. The custom legs look great with the mantic plastics.

EDC

Cheers .

I wish they weren't necessary but I couldn't leave them the height they were... so drastic measures had to be taken

I have been putting together a Sgt Telion 'counts as' from one of the leg casts:
