Thanks guys, this unit shows the first signs of impatience in the 15mm Blood Angels project, I decided to make 4 scout snipers, 5 shot guns and a leader, the 4 snipers were going to be in ghilli suits, but I got impatient and only finished 2, the other 2 I just added camo to the sniper rifles, I will also distinguish them with face paint, the pants will be a grey urban camo pattern, what do you think?

Hi guy, some WIP Picts of my assault terminators.
Posting this from an Ipad, haven't done this before, hope it works.

Those scouts look great. Glad to see yoi're still working on this!

Thanks Zwan, still working out how to post pics from eye pad.

Hi guys
These are coming along nicely, need to fill the hammer head out, they are blue tacked together for the photos, all comments welcome.

Very cool stuff, interesting idea.

Thanks IHLBT

Hi guys these are ready for paint, let my know if there are any areas I need to improve.


http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/ready-for-paint-15mm-terminators.html

Hi guys, just a quick update, these are about 60% done, wanted to show them with their basic colours done, all comments welcome.

Hi guys, lots of pics on my blog.


http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/finished-15mm-blood-angel-terminators.html

Hi guys, my first scout squad finished, 4 snipers, 5 shotguns and 1 bolter, I will be doing another squad, all with bolters, as well as a couple of heavy bolters, I will be upgrading the rest of my BA force with bases the same as this, it covers up the figs stands and looks nice, all comments welcome.

I've been watching you with these guys and just don't know what to say.....they're great. Most people are trying to make their marines bigger, I've toyed around with making midget marines, but you make them tiny. I'm just glad I don't have to paint them, my eyes are bad enough

Thanks Theophony.
Hi guys, I have a dilemma, I am working on making a land raider, my initial idea was using a Char B1 bis (green one) as a land raider and the Mk 4 (grey one) as a Leman Russ for my 15mm Imperial guard, heres my dilemma, the green one makes the better Land raider, but I think it may be to small, the grey one makes the better Leman Russ, but I think the bigger size would be better for the land raider, so which one should be which? What's your opinion, or should I look at other options? If I used the grey as a land raider, I would remove the rivets, but leave them on for a Leman Russ, also the direction the grey one faces would change depending on if it is a Leman Russ or land raider, both will have gun sponsons on the sides, and hull mounted heavy bolters at the front, check my blog for more Picts.



http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/15mmland-raiderleman-russ-dilemma.html

Legend has it the Russ was based upon the Char B1 Bis. Personally in this case I think the larger size is necessary for the Land Raider it should look a lot bigger than the Russ so I'd go for grey.

Yeah I agree, I'm one leaning towards scratch building the raider and using the grey for the Russ.

Hi guys, this still needs a lot of work, but the basic shape is coming together, it will be the master for a mould, this is the start of my 15mm Death korps of Krieg army, it has twin heavy bolters
on each side, but thats only for looks and will only count as one, I might put a storage bin on the rear of the turret, the figure is only for scale, and is not the figure I will use for the IG conversions, what do you think? More Picts on my blog.
http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/wip-15mm-dkok-leman-russ.html

Hi guys, here are my first 15mm Death Korps of Krieg conversions, i have also started on some auto cannons, for this army I will be using various WWI Germans and French, with head swaps from Peter Pig, and these Heer light troops from Trench 2114, these are almost perfect, except they only come in 5 poses, so I don't think I will get anymore, I will convert the rest of the army (which i plan on being quite large) this army will also have Armour, cavalry, artillery, Naval marines, and air support, all commits welcome, more pics on my blog.
http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/wip-15mm-death-korps-of-krieg-infantry.html

Awesome blog! I'll be watching this!

that tank conversion from a Mark 1 tank is cool....where did you get the turret? I think you could actually use it as a leman russ but size-wise it might also be like a Valdor. Also what kit the tank?

Have you checked out the shapeways website? you can print out rhino-shaped apc's, and marine-shaped infantry as well for 15mm.

Hi Meade, thanks, the kit is the Airfix Mk IV, the turret is of the Airfix M113 fire support vehicle, I have checked the shapeways stuff, it is pretty good, I think I will buys some of their stuff, but will use the figures as armatures, and add more bulk and detail, I like their land speeders, and will get at least 4 of those, but the Rhinos will be a tad small for what I want, I think.

Hi guys, seems I'm wasting my time on this site, see how I go after this post, then may just let it die, here is a WIP veteran grenadier squad, these guys still have a bit of work to go, but they are coming along nicely, I'm thinking I will add a canister to the front of the gas mask, I wanted a squad that would stand out, so gave them bearskins to denote their elite status, can't wait to finish and paint these guys, heaps more Picts on my blog, all comments welcome.

sounds like a good plan! I didn't realize those rhinos were small, then again 40k rhinos (and marines) are also too small...

I've recently invested in a mound of figs from Rebel Minis, they've got the gas-masked infantry I like... and also pledged in the All Quiet on the Martian front kickstarter... wanting to homebrew my own 40k-ish 15mm battles.

Also looking for rulesets to use... there is a lot of alternative stuff out there for 15mm it's a bit hard to process at first...

Hi Meade, add yourself to my blog, we can give each other ideas, don't rely on my continuing to post to this form, your the only one who seems to be following so I'm considering letting this post die.

checked it out an bookmarked it, but TBH, i like dakka because it lets me check so many blogs in one place I have trouble keeping track of everyone's individual blog.

the blog doesn't die as long as you post on it... eventually more people take notice trust me! Even if you want to support your blog the best way is to maintain a presence on forums, I say.

Cool guard. Looking quite Vostroyan with the hats. The details you add to the all troops is really quite astonishing!

Please keep updating this blog.

OK, thanks guys, I will keep the thread going, thanks for following, working on Death riders right now.

Hi guys, this veteran Grenadier squad is ready for paint, not sure about these bases, tried a new batch of sand, it looks a little to coarse for my liking, now back to working on my rough riders, all comments welcome.
http://gunnerswargamming.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/15mm-dkok-grenadiers-ready-for-paint.html

That sand is more noticeable compared to the stuff on the Blood Angels. But i think it will work with the DKOK look.

There gas masks are really well done. I like how you achieve so much using only simple shapes to add a lot of detail. I'm not saying its easy but when you have a while regiment to sculpt then its effective.

Glad you are keeping this blog updated. Nice touch with the small blast craters. is that done with the end of a pencil?

Hi Zwan, thanks mate, at this scale simple shapes are all I can do, but, yes they are effective.

It's easy to forget the scale when they are blown up on a computer screen.

Hi guys, the first squad of my 15mm DKoK army is done, I'm really happy with how these guys turned out, I'm undecided whether I should paint any numbers/markings on the shoulder armour, the dark red regimental facing colour on the turn backs/cuffs of the great coats will be duplicated on other squads and flags, this is the pallet of colours I will use for the army, except the Naval marines I plan on doing, I will substitute the fieldgrey with blue, and will give them sailors caps, the rest of the grunts will have picklehelms, lots more pics on my blog, all comments welcome.

Hi guys, sorry about the crap pics, here are my WIP Death Riders, the original figures were Napoleonic Wurtembergers, I wanted them to have czapkas (hats) so gave them head swaps with some surplus Polish infantry, the lances without fanions will have paper fanions added, any ideas on how to paint the horses? I want them to look a little creepy and unnatural, as they are hairless bio engineered organisms.
