Very nice, this your first year? good luck!

I did a BA in Graphic Design at Essex uni, now working at a design agency in London.

F**king A!

These are awesome, keep 'em coming!

D

Yeah just starting in september, thanks mate that sounds good to me

Thanks drcheese Don't worry I won't be stopping any time soon

Right so an update i got my army case its a KR multicase really great, affordable and good quality, i wont bother with a pic unless anybody has a burning desire to see what is essentially a fancy cardboard box :p ha.


I'm also working on a chimera conversion, i want an open topped one so i intend to leave off the top hull piece and put some stuff in the back

then I've made a turret that will go in the turret hole that is usually covered by the top hull piece, this is very much WIP and i'd appreciate any input

Now all i need to do is get a chimera chassis sprue, I've found a good bitz site for the uk http://letthedicedecide.netdirector.co.uk/ but they are out of stock atm so I will have to wait, but when i get my deathstrike I'll probably make a mock up
Later Dakka

( i apologize for bad photos and such :p tried to do photos in through gallery but weren't appearing in post so I have come back and just put as attachments but im sure you clever dakka folk can figure out which is which )

Hey, me again. Loving your enforcer, and your Chimera turret. I love how the ammo feed drapes across the tank hull, it really gives it a ramshackle appearance. The way your miniatures interact with the terrain is great too, I love the heavy weapons team taking cover amongst the ruins, it makes them seem like they're lying in wait.

The speed you're churning out models has left me lost for words however. I just don't understand!

Thanks ghosty I'm trying to get a dynamic feel with my units

haha yeah this is the benefit of being off over summer waiting to start uni only downside is its burning a hole in my wallet ha on a similar note got some heavy weapons team today so working on them expecting pics by tomorrow

..the fat servitor in the heavy weapons team is cool. I like the feel of this army and the pale cream colour scheme. The enforcer is particularly effective with his black jacket. Oh and maybe you'll get the interest back in the Nurgle Marines as a small allied contingent for your guard.

Oh I like the head you have chosen for Mr Nurgle Lord.

Good luck at Uni...my little plastic men ended up in a cupboard for four years...girls were much more interesting

Ha thanks man (nice sneaky post move btw :p ) anyway yeah thanks Yeah a few nurgle marines would be nice not sure whether to use IG codex or FW renegade codex. more upsides to IG but some cool stuff like CSM in FW :/ but tbh I'm not building this army to play realllyyy just for awesomeness

Thanks, Haha yeah I think the hobby will have to take a back seat these next few years ha

Boom update time

So heavy weapon teams waiting for bases from ebay, in the meantime painted a couple of guys from the fw command squad enjoy C&C welcome

Really nice looking man's there Spicy. I really like how you've done the brown sacks which are over their heads. The brown also contrasts well with the gray overalls.

D

Thanks D I'm liking your blood angels

still waiting on bases ... :( but in the mean time finished of the FW militia command squad really pleased with how the veterans turned out so enjoy C&C appreciated

Spicy

these look amazing!!! keep up the great work

The flesh tones on the vet are perfect. Great looking models.

Although I would maybe consider some rust effect on the metal/silver parts, just to break it up a bit (especially the backpacks). Not sure if it really needs it to be perfectly honest, but something to consider perhaps?

Thanks for the complient on my BAs

D

Thanks, yeah I always worry if the metal is too much if you get what i mean, might go back and dab a bit o' tin bitz on

Spicy

So a quick update, turns out bases have just dispatched so has sentinel so heavy weapons can wait, but my manticore came today so here is my mock up of what my chimera will look like when i get another chassis, I'm gonna add some benches and pad it out a bit with plasticard but here is a basic preview enjoy and give me your thoughts on it

Spicy

Boom update quite literally, finished manticore today also bases arrived so i can get on with heavy weapons, and i got a stick of instant mold so I'm gonna have a play with that and see what i can do. well here is le manticore enjoy C&C appreciated

Spicy

Right hey everybody haven't updated for a while been celebrating A level results/ getting into uni then I've been recovering from said celebrations ha

well anyway, bases arrived so here are some pics of the heavy weapons teams got em on ebay and so i had to improvise a few stands, but im pretty pleased with them, C&C appreciated, i also got another sentinel so pics soon

Sooo its been a while, so here's some stuff enjoy

Finally finished Heavy weapons squad, and the second sentinel.

Then I've made some Veterans, I got the idea for flagellant legs from someone on here, but.. i cant remember who :( so if anyone knows please comment so we can give them the credit they deserve, because i think its a pretty cool idea

I've also made a version of sargeant bastonne to lead them.. now i know he is pretty poor in game terms but i just loved the idea of a imperial poster boy who is secretly mental :p so this is my version of him having fell to chaos and madness

As always C&C are very much appreciated

Spicy

Hey Spicy

the sentinels are looking great, really like what you've done with the bases especially.

The vet kitbases look great, real characterful squad. Are you going to be picking up the new starter set for the cultist models to use in your army?

D

Soooo been slowly painting and such, Finally got round to finishing Bastonne and I'm nearly half way through the veterans. I'm really pleased with how the tattoos turned out so enjoy as always C&C much appreciated

Sorry D havent been on for a while :p Thanks man eeergh im debating wehter to get them all or not, Ive got myself the commissar leader (see below :p ) cos he is plain awesome sauce, and i want the flamer guy and a couple of them especially but just not sure wether to get em all maybe ..

Spicy

Wicked.

Really like how the vets are shaping up, those tats are looking pretty sweet. Any chance we can get some CUs of them?

D

Cheers man

Sure can will have to wait till tommorow for decent light unfortunately but ill definitely get some up for you

Spicy

Right steam rolling a bit now want to get these guys done before I head of to uni on sunday :p

So here is some close ups of the tattoos for D, and the missile team and another trooper enjoy C&C appreciated

Spicy

Awesome stuff. The tats are wicked, maybe next time put a Chaos emblem on the chest?

The white on the vets on the new troops and vets is really great, what's the recipe? (I haven't already asked that have I?)

Anyway, keep it up. Hope you enjoy uni, hopefully you'll still find some time to keep your plog up to date!

D

Thanks D yeah i had debated mixing in some chaos junk but decided to stick to the fluff of the peoples names

ha no you haven't sooo I don't really have a recipe but its a mix of skull white and rotting flesh (no idea what that is in new paints) probably about 4:1 i just play it by ear or the massive mark on my mixing plate :p hope that helps anyways ha

Cheers man, i intend to try and put some time aside for le hobby but we will have to see

On another note i drew this last night and plan to make him as my primaris psyker 100 interwebs to whoever can guess what parts I'm planning to use

Spicy

Hey dakka Vets are done so is the commissar enjoy C&C appreciated

Right so this will probably be the last proper update for a good while :( The army is pretty much done and i think this plog will become more of a general blog as I'm gonna go back to just painting bits and bobs or i might start a new blog all together who knows

Spicy

Excellent work on the renegade cmmusar, perhaps his start of choas could use a highlight of pink to make that scarring pop a little?

D

Thanks man, yeah that thing was an absolute to paint, mixing it it was either too red or you could hardly tell it was there :p oh well ..

Hey Dakka
so its been quite a while, getting into the swing of uni, its amazing joined the sci-fi and fantasy society so if any thing my hobby will get more so, ha well anyway back to the renegade fun

so I've made my primaris psyker he is based around a tech priest magos gone wrong kinda thing, pretty pleased with how it turned out, but critiques are appreciated.

also I finally got round to writing my army list and now am in full thing to expand, so I present renegade guardsmen marbo reasonably pleased with this guy but coulda been better me thinks :/ might have to go back and have another stab ha anyway enjoy and as always C&C appreciated (on a further note look forward to more veterans, storm troopers, priest and a leman russ... hopefully if ebay is kind ;P
