Got some paint on the vehicles, built some redemptionist bredrins to accompany the Ordo Xenos Interrergator. (Leader with flail + Boltgun, brothers armed with boltgun, flamer, 2 with autopistol and flail/mace and sinner with eviscrator.)

Got some paint on my armour, all need a wash and details picking out...would like to try camo net on one of the Chimera's to infiltrate with harker.

First time painting armoured vehicles, my eyes think they came out nice. Not shown is the red marking on the right of each turret/viewport, pask has kill counters on his, 2 skulls and a plane to represent the two trukks and a dakka jet that he so far has purged in games..the dakka jet was particulary good because i literaly said 'pask is gonna shoot that plane', rolled a 6 to hit, penned and rolled another 6..the rest of the shooting in that game was typicaly piss poor down to the last man, but downing the ork dakkajet was sweet.

Pretty much done on the ash waste vehicles, grabber truck, transport/harpoon truck and a large armoured transport(chimera fits nicely in the cargo hold with room for fuel), heavy bolter on the gun deck. Id originaly planned to do a crawler, but toys are us had no suitable model so i picked up this one...in hindsight i may add a dozer blade for gaks n giggles.

Man, you have a seriously diverse and cool collection going on here. Some great ideas on conversion and use of bitz (liking the cardboard coffee cup holders for corrugated metal - ingenious).

As for sculpting gs with a paperclip... colour me impressed at that... Looking forward to seeing more

Take a look at the Ramshackle Games stuff they'd fit well. Great work on the old ork trukk models maybe I should go back to embiggening mine.

Wow, that is a cool looking fleet of old bangers you've got there Must have been fun building those. Looking forward to seeing some on the tabletop soon.

Ruglud, thanks.. the cutting and sticking of cardboard was like meditation, the big truck i think is awesome, all will double as 40k terrain also.

Llamahead, yeah man i checked them out, the motorbikes caught my eye and would probably be great as outriders for a trucker gang, would like to see them in better photo's with no riders though.

Fiore, its always fun to make a picture in your head come to life as a model, i havent been in toys'r'us in 14 years and it felt tiny compared to how i remember..no shelf of action-man stuff either..kids toys are crap these days.

I love those ash wasters. The colors you've chosen really come out well.

Thanks yo, i really like um too...i figured browns with little colour, every one different but with coherency, the palette was taking into consideration that ash wasters are in the gak, no flashy clothes...

Made some Ratmen, story is they worship the papa nurgle and are spreading the plague to end mankind on Necromunda.

Very nice! got to love skaven in 40k! You planning on doing any more of these guys?

Hey man thanks for posting, yeah I plan to make more, dont have any fw arms left but will use the arms from the kit, planning to either use the ratmen pdf or ratskin rules in necro, or cultist rules for 40k, I got 8 more to make but I guess a typical gang would be a leader, 2 totem warriors, 6 gangers & 2braves...+8 spare for 40k chaos hoard army.

Working on another ash waster, the posing is iffy and the proportion of the cadian sniper left arm/cloak is way off the empire militia legs n body used..but i think it still works. Going to make a side filter from gs on the re-breather, tidy that up and maybe add a wicked hat to hide his enormous head.

I like the shaman, nice go at the blue body tatoos.

The cloaked guy also looks very cool.

Sorry for my neglect for the blog.. Heres some wip

Lots of really cool stuff here - good work

Thanks Manus!

Some wip on the Dark Angel expeditionary force.

Tube tool fun...

I like the idea, but perhaps a tad overdone?
Also try to wipe you camera lens, the cloudy look you get in the pictures are often a result in light getting bend in grease

The over done effect was to hide the clunky plastic tube scratch build, first attempt with sole scratch built bits, the death ray will have less cables, I feel better about the structure on the arm for that..(also the ott look is kinda what I was going for, the prime is sect militaris, id imagined him gratefull for the hulking siege weapons hard wired in, offerering him status within the political side of the admech..if you think that is ott wait until you see the death ray lol.

Sorry for out of focus, I have not been frying chicken or anything near my canon cam, I am between computers, so posting and taking snaps with phone..

Thanks for your c + c amigo.

Your welcome - actually I maily have the same problem when using my phone cam - just a fingerprint on the lens is enough the bend the light.

Hers the wip raygun, a little filling, cables and perhaps another gubbin between cables..my reasoning for the mass of cables is that when not wrapped around the servo arm they can plug into things, diagnostics, defender robots, digital weapons ect, dr octopus with tank tracks for legs and siege weapons for fun.

I dont think he is overdone at all rust! I think thats just the level of ott that the mechanicus enjoy, how did you make the cables though out of interest? looks like they are made of greenstuff??

Also I am sorry for lurking lately! your stuff is still awesome and I'm watching from a dark corner!

No apology required.

I felt that a seething mass of cables was what an arch magos who took himself seriously would sport, tools come weapons tearing foes asunder. I used masquerade mini$ tube tool, awesome for making cables with stiff wire centres, i see a floating dude in the future..i also got some of theyre bake-able waxy putty stuff, too brittle when cured for self supporting sculpts but id imagine good for building a shape, before adding plasticard et gs details.

Got a spankiing new airbrush too, made lots of progress with the primed models and built 3 chimera chasis in a weekend, now just need detailing and weathering..looking forward to apoc but dreading the back ache painting all the models.
