Your other model is sweet too, looks like the old 30 cal.

Yeah, I like that vid as well. They just make me feel so much better about life.

Ha ha, thank you. Ordered a few more bits so I can realise that squad some more.

As John Wayne once said, "Bravery is being scared stupid yet saddling up anyway." Just chuck your stuff up, if you don't think they're that good then ask for suggestions. If you don't want negative feedback, then tell them to shut the hell up and feast on their first-born's bone marrow.

and whats that helmet your infiltraitors got?

I have seen that one "This Ar-Peh-Gee is fer duck 'unting!".

The head is actually a Russian Gas-Masked head from West Wind Productions. There isn't a picture of it on their site, unfortunately, so I had to buy these blind. Not overly keen on them as they could have been moulded a bit better.

lol do you by anychance play cod 4? the machine gun reminds me of a acog scoped m 60 40k style

any way dude as always im hoping to see some mOaR of this, and are you going to make some ogrin beserkers??

I did play CoD4 on the PC. I was off work sick for two week last year and I managed to rank up to the highest rank in that time then never played it again

As for Ogryn's, I am but they're tricky to make as I'm making armoured sentry drones instead of big stupid feckers.

Very, very slowly I might add! But thanks for keeping in touch.

!!!UPDATE!!!

Okay, as you know I've been at University. I'm only there for six hours a week which is pretty pitiful but it does take me two hours to get there and then another two hours to get back. That equates to a lot of time spent rockin' out in my car munching on strawberry laces!! But I have managed to squeeze some 40k in between my required reading, STALKER, Spike Milligan books, work, essay writing and blowing people's minds with my radical views on popular history

First off, a tutorial I wrote many moons ago has appeared in an e-zine. It's a fresh-faced e-zine which is a nice compliment to the others available: Irregular Magazine

They published it before I had a chance to tidy it up but it must be noted that I do not use that method any more but it did serve me well and is a rather easy way of making rust! Oh yeah, mine's the rust tutorial. I wanted to do a miniature photo taking tutorial for those, who like me, don't have expensive cameras or photo-rigs.

To the custard pie of the matter; minis!

My Valkyrie. I was heart-broken when I found out my idea for a V-22 style Valkyrie couldn't be realised due to "stock issues" (i.e. lazy f**ks discontinued what I needed and I'm not prepared to spend £80 just to get a different set of wings).



I've only made two real adjustments thus far. I've been a bit dispondant with this as it represents my broken dreams so now I'm just saying this is a capture Valkyrie. If anyone can spot the adjustments, I'll give them a metaphorical cookie.

It should be noted that the paint-job is only about 20% complete.

Next up.


Another WiP shot. Again, only about 30% painted. I've blue-tac'd us onto a sentinel base for the moment. I'm making ChaosBubbles a servitor that was once a chav. If anyone has any suggestions on what bits to use to make this, pipe up now.

I have plans to make my girlfriend, another 40k friend of mine who goes to Uni with my girlfriend and another Dakkite here named Sanchez who I've known for a few years.

And for those who don't know, I am entering the gritty armour contest here on Dakka but I is not allowed to show you it yet.

Almost forgot to mention that I made a bits order last night. I also ordered a Reaper Miniature Nazi Zombie trooper which I plan on turning into a prototype for a veteran squad.

Looking good!

I'll give the valk mods a go:
- placement of the multilaser
- front eagle replaced with a chaos star
- nose sensor array seems modified

What did you do with the regular ML housing?

Good stuff dude , I like the way the valk is turning out I like the las cannon conversion on there as well .

Arent the Valk's wings swapped around so they are in effect 'backwards'?

Hooray for custard pie! aka updates! Again, really like the work

Bassetts All Sorts for the commute !

You get a metaphorical cookie. Sensor array I have no idea about. I made the damned thing without the instructions. I think I either threw it away or used it as TP. As for the housing, I've just shoved another sensor/light gubbin in there. It came with three so I thought why not.

You get another cookie! I chiselled the wings to go backwards. Thought "f**k if I'm gonna have the same wings as every other c**t."

only the same as all the chaos guys. i swapped mine, too.^^
makes sense, too. breaks up the eagle look and opens the fire arcs for the h.bolters.

Dude, I am beyond honored.

If you do a chaos me, then I must do a Loyalist you (Ahh no evil grin)

Ok infil.... its been a few days since you've had an update... what are you plotting?

I finally got a wash on that Griffon conversion that I stole from you, and it might see its first action in a cityfight tonight if all goes as planned. I'll let you know how it plays.

That heavy weapons team is beautiful. Gotta love those old water-cooled machine guns.

Looking buff as ever

There's too much for me to comment on individually, I have no time to relish each piece as much as I'd enjoy, but just to say it's all looking as sharp and as gritty as ever.

Nice

Lookin great

What's the Fluff rationale for the changes? If it's simple capture, wouldn't it be stock?

Outstanding blog InfilTRAITOR! The converted vehicles show great imagination and your traitor guardsmen are suitably menacing.

What head did you use for your leaders head?
Looks good, and a real inspiration as I'm starting a traitor guard army.

Don't make lies of my hopes and dreams!!! The heavy bolters are just stupid. I haven't put mine on to make a point. They would just shoot the wings either way the wings are facing. "Let's shoot some xenos scum. Oh no, there's a freakin' rocket pod in the way. Oh well, war is over for me."

I am plotting nothing. Essay was due in on Monday (What is the value, if any, of studying history? - I mean, wtf!) plus it was my birthday Saturday just gone so I have been busy. But I started 40king again yesterday to make up for lost time.

I'm gonna go find this Griffon of yours and oogle it. How did the fight go?

JohnHwangDD wrote:What's the Fluff rationale for the changes? If it's simple capture, wouldn't it be stock?

Okay, Mr. Picky! It's a Valkyrie that was capture on a pad while taking a Loyalist stronghold. It suffered minor damage but the unit that captured it (my stormtroopers) decided to use it for themselves. As part of the standard de-imperialisation doctrine of the traitor mechanicus allies, the wings were removed and reattached in a more conforming manner.

Thanking you very muchly. I love the flag on that base. I've not had as many arguments or negative comments about it as I thought I would have had.

The head of my Exalted Champion is an old metal Chaos Marine head with greenstuff covering the eyes. Here's a pic I found of the head on the one on the left.

Ha ha ha, I would but they're boh glued to seperate bases at the moment. I will be uploading some shots later when I've doe painting them.

I can help you with this; you won't need to play CoD4 at all soon as MW2 is almost out. Woo!!

I did do the interior but it was very basic. Just painted the buttons and lights. The piping and hydraulics and then washed it all. Wasn't really in the mood when I did it.

UPDATE!!

H'okay, as you most probably know I find Space Marine stuff to be quite boring. And as you also probably know, I am trying to incorporate some Alpha Legionnaires into my Renegade list. This has posed quite a problem for me as I do really like Alpha Legion (especially after Legion) but I found that trying to paint them was just so dull. My solution? Well, I stole an idea from ChaosBubbles. In his renegade army he is also taking Chaos Space Marines but the way he has done it is that they're all not from the same legion. He has some Black Legion, World Eaters, etc, etc. He has only used Undivided and Khorne Legions as he thinks the others are simply gay. So, I pondered on how to do my Marines when I reread the rules in the Vraks list and realised I could make, initially, a five-man kill-team.

Sent to aid my Renegade Guardsmen, these hand-picked Marines are led by a Champion in order to make sure this uprising goes against the Imperium.



Left to Right:
Tactical Marine - Ordered a Black Templar bolter (with chains) to finish him off
Champion - An old metal Marine I had lying around. Stripped him down and have given him a power sword. Ordered a Space Wolf plasma pistol arm to finish him.
Specialist Marine - He is fully built. Just needs painting to be finished.
Assault Marine - He is almost done as well. Just needs washing.
Havoc Marine (Not in picture) - I only have the Heavy Bolter to hand. The rest I have ordered to make him.

These chaps were interesting to paint thus far as it's completely different to what I've done with the guardsmen. When they're all fully built and basecoated i will be applyig a green wash to complete them. Also, the choice of base is because in my list they count as an Elite choice rather than the Troop choice you'll find in SM and CSM lists.

As I've already mentioned, it was my birthday the other day. ChaosBubbles was kind enough to get me this:




It's a fantastic 1/35 Tiger I (P)!!! This means I can start making my walking Tiger I with earnest next week! I'm giddy with excitement.

It came with some resin parts and am stunned by the quality of them. Take a look for yourself, puts FW to shame.



Also, this is how big the hull is compared to a Russ. A monster it shall be!

lol that tanks massive what will it be counting as? btw happy birthday! hope you had a good time

1/35 models are massive in comparison to GW.
1/48 is better if you want it to fit. My Gepard and also my SA-6 had to be cut apart and mostly abandoned in the end.

The Tiger looks promising, can't wait to see what you do with it! Also, good idea on the Alpha Legionnaires, really nice squad theme you've got going there.

On a completely unrelated topic, I finally got bored of marines and started a blog for my traitor guard. Thanks for the constant source of inspiration and pestering! lol.

the conversions are down right awsome. Only thing I wasnt a fan of was the skin on the champion thought it didnt really fit.

Let the fun shenanigans begin

them marines are coming along great man!

ghosty wrote:lol that tanks massive what will it be counting as? btw happy birthday! hope you had a good time

Thanks! It is a tad huge. Started to build it this afternoon as the lighting has gone pretty damned bad. It's a whopper! And I will only use it in Apocalypse games as a Baneblade (Baneblade cannon with hull-mounted auto-cannon).

I always use 1/35 as I believe the GW scale is stupidly inaccurate. Anyway, I wanted this thing to be huge. It's going to be a Chaos Tiger I. You can't do a shrimpy one at that or Hitler himself will rape you in your sleep.

The orange and white? I'm still not so sure on it, either. It was an experiment but I'm not sure if I want to change it yet.

Cheers me dears!!

2nd update of the day.

Took some individual shots of the Alphas this afternoon so some more detail can be shamed:


(Gawd, he looks awful close-up. The eyes need darkening and he looks wrong without a green wash. Photos add 10lb onto people and adds 110% crapness onto minis)


(He's not looking so bad...)


(Looks a tad wonky here)


(No arms but I'll strike a pose anyway!)

And here's ME!!


Almost done. Needs finishing touches and final weathering.

And ChaosBubbles!!


He's not seen it yet but I'm sure he'll be chuffed. I've ordered the Servitor to be his loader, should be here any day now.

ENJOY!

Your in-game persona looks a lot like my Marbo kitbash!

BTW, the Griffon did excellent in my cityfight game yesterday. So well, in fact, I decided to make it a semi-permanent addition to my "competitive" IG list. Accurate bombardment made sure that my shells landed on target, and it even tied up a game I was losing (damn him putting tank traps all around the objective building) by blasting off the troops occupying the ruin. I was able to keep it nestled safely in the back corner of my deployment zone, and still hit any target on the 4'x4' board. I will definitely be taking advantage of it in future games. Cheap too, only 5 points more than a bare Veteran squad.

That's what I like about arty is that it just occupies enemy units that would otherwise be causing you grief and there's nothing they can do about it. Glad to hear that it worked well enough for you to like!

-----------------------------------------------

Showed ChaosBubbles the base and we got talking about the dead Marine. We both decided that I can in fact paint well to a normal standard which quite pleased me as I'd never really tried before. But then he did point out that it might only mean I can paint Ultramarines well which instantly sickened me.

infilTRAITOR wrote:...But then he did point out that it might only mean I can paint Ultramarines ....

How unkind.

Lovin the traitor marines, particularly the robed dude. Nice weathering on the green sword.

darkkt wrote:How unkind.

I'm happy as long as it means I can paint Ultramarines in their most natural form; dead.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how he was gonna turn out as it did involve drybrushing which is what I usually shy away from.


I've done a little more to the Tiger. Going to order the legs come payday on Friday. Here's a size comparison:



I was in awe at how big the Valkyrie was when I built it as I'm only used to light and medium armour but now this has come along and blown me away even more!

You should rust up there armor a bit , tie them in with your force a little more .

I love the guy with the huge machine gun and the chaos warriors head. That is a dude you do not mess with.

I cant wait for the Chaos Tiger I, if its the late production, then you have yourself from what Ive heard an awesome kit.
