cheers, this blue is a little less saturated than the cap mini as it comes from a basecoat of the fang instead of Macragge blue

So I upped and did a full squad of scouts to go with the shotgun one I did earlier.


Hudson


Frost


Drake


Sgt apone

well what a trip down memory lane this was.
As aforementioned, these scouts are among the first minis I ever purchased from GW and TBH, with the right paintjob, barely show their age.
Ok, there are a few idosyncracies in the designs that show the limitations of the metal casting process (I mentioned these before when doing my Steel legionaire conversion, see here - https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/30/798025.page#11179777 -) but on this occasion I think they've been done in a way that compliments the pocket-laden tacticool design the scouts favour. Ultimately requiring very little black-lining to hide soft-joins and a good variety of surfaces for shades to do their stuff on.
The sgt's pose is a little 2nd/3rd-ed single-pose mould-limitation looking but I chose this mini as I wanted the squad to look classic so, in turn, wanted the ubiquitous sgt's pistol/chainsword combo but this mini is a much better pose than the original 'aaarrrgh!' with sword overhead that the original sgt had.
not very covert that, eh?
but then a chainsword isn't anyway is it?
Noteable details are the variety of skintones, because I like that in a squad and the yellow pins on the nades which add colour and keep them more 80's comic-book and less of the ultra-militaristic look that my guard tend to sport these days...

...and here's the whole squad alongside Neophyte Hicks from before...












yes, I named them after some of the guys in Jim Cameron's 'Aliens' because the scouts have always reminded me of colonial marines somewhat...

Love those old Miniatures (I have loads of them myself!) and you have done a splendid job on them.

I do think the old models, 2nd ED era, have a lot more character in them that the modern day models. Especially those scouts and the Metal guardsmen. Although there are somethings best left forgotten from those times as well (Nagash, I'm looking at you).

Scouts still see some play in KT21. They are quite decent for a Compendium team AFAIK

SM Scouts certainly have that Colonial Marines thing going on, so the names make sense. You could use the new Arbites stubber on one model to make the appearance even more alike

thanks a lot guys.
do apprecite the kindness.

now from some great old sculpts to a damned fine new one.
A little side project reached fruition today:

Gideon Sumption reborn...

you may remember the previous incarnation of this mini (from my royston rifles thread) was based around the gideon lorr mini.
This time I looked to cursed city's Jelsen Darrock (or whatever his name is)
First thing to do was 40k this bad-boy.
A quick chop and the rifle became a lasgun with the simple addition of the muzzle and mag from a dkok trooper's lasgun.
the hammer was swapped out for a suitably sized 40k alternative (the gsc range) that featured power-coils and what have you...
next up was the absurd gandalf hat. A quick snip with the clippers and shave off that chaotic looking arrow with a stanley knife and graft on a tiny skull in its place (I honestly cant remember where this came off of but any this size would do I suppose.) In a similar fasion, the sideways-skull buckle/stud on his belt was shaved off of a third edition bolter.
Finally the obvious addition of an astartes-sprue purity seal to seal the deal (pun intended! )

As you can see, I went for a selection of excessively weathered leathers for the overall colourscheme, accented with equally weathered bronze, steel and brass, a few red details hith and yon and a bit of olive green for the riflestrap/pocket to further cement the intended 40k setting.
I know that the vampire stakes kinda shatter this illusion, as thats not really a thing in 40k, but I figured he looks like gabriel van-helsing in 40k so thats good enough for me!

By the way he's huge. I mean one huge MF, man. he's taller than a gravis armoured marine and thats just damned stupid but you've heard me rant about gw's scale issues before so I shant start with all that mishigos again.


I nearly lost the faith in this early on as I was painting those yellow leather gloves though.

you know, cos it looks like he's burnng witches and washing dishes...




Yup I've lost it haven't I..?

Many many thanks folks.

well, alas nothing painted to show this week.
bit of a busy weekend , however that being said, my (aparrently tiny and childlike ) fingers have been hard at work on more astartes for the rtb01 CF project


Yes, I know I've +/- done this conversion before for the space-sharks but I fancied another go at it on these guys before the current Sternguard kit is gone forever.

the HB and backpack is from the sternguard kit. first thing to go was the absurd cross on the front of the HB. this was replaced by a simple skull (taken from a centurion purity seal)
Head is from the ravenwing sprue (allbeit with an extended neck to improve the posture some degree).
The pads are the HH mk6 sprue ones.
The body is an amalgamation of some intercessor legs (with shaved knee/shinguards to emulate mk6) joined to a torso from a phobos armoured marine. (not that it matters which, but, reiver I believe)

Like many, I used to get all bent out of shape about the size of marines, truescale, firstborn primaris , 40k, 30k all that jazz and, you know what? who even bloody cares anyway? marines are marines! end of...
This project is inspired from a time when none of this crap existed and its been real cathartic to return to this sensibilty with my modelling.
As long as he's still clearly a beakie, and an inscrutible bad-ass, I dont really care about the rest...

I feel it makes him look a big-assed marine that towers over regular humans, but looks the right proportions to lug that heavy-bolter around with ease. Yet still fit in with the other marines...

He also features a spare hb mag and a holstered boltpistol as a backup weapon. but thats out of sight onthe back.

The spent casings are, again, from anvil and are actually shotgun shells but will look fine once painted the right brass tone.
regular casings just looked too short and too thin. these look a good match for what's in the drums...

oh and why even do this mini at all?
well I got some inspiration for it recently:

(see what I mean about the shotgun shells as heavy bolter casings too?)

more soon, I promise...

I've not played it either, I watched Gmanlives and CV11's reviews and tbh, felt that it was an over-amped visual and audio assault on the senses that is clearly a modern shooter game in a poorly animated and rendered 'shell' in order to call it 'retro'.

real retro games use a limited engine and then make the visuals as good as you can using the limited resources. thus:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/562860/Ion_Fury/ (uses the build engine (duke3d, shadowwarrior, blood) but made fabulous with good level design and cage's sexy sprite/texture work)
boltgun is the opposite. they've all the resources and engine power in the world available but have tried to emulate the look of retro by doing crappy blocky graphics...
I dont get it.
and before any of you say it, I was there when doom was first released. I am an actual vintage gamer and still mod for doom today, see here:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/osjcs-doom-major-crisis
so I feel i know what I'm talking about on the subject.

however, my savage judgement aside, one thing that stuck out to me was the heavy bolter that looked and sounded very satisfying...

anyway, back to today:
Been a while...
Although I'm half-way through some filey droptroopers this weekend, I've not anything 100% done to show at present.
Mainly because I've been somewhat busy of late so minis time has been quite short.

however got more astartes built, including this one:


I wanted a cool pose that shows a way to hold one of the rt-style bolters in two hands.
These arms (converted from an infiltrator primaris guy) manage it in a way that looks both unfeasable and absurd, but then thats 80's space marines in a nutshell isn't it?

I will say now, that I also have three characters on the go too.
one very rt era inspired and two very crimson fist and RT inspired, all converted and fully built and awaiting paint as we speak but until now, I've been reluctant to share as I didn't want to spoil the surprise till they're painted.
However, as me getting anything painted is a chore at present, I wondered if its worth relenting on this and sharing them as they are for now.
so, that being said, if there is enough interest here to see them thus, I'll show them in WIP pre-paint shots first and paint them up whensoever I do get a chance.

so do let me know if you want to see them or wait till they're done...

oh, yeah, almost forgot.

thanks man, thats very true.

finally got round to finishing the Filey droptroops:


Bayonet trooper, featuring fullstock rifle.


Grenadelauncher specialist. Using the nucadian launcher, which, it turns out, fits in rather neatly with the DKoK arms
also has a gsc backpack to make him stand out more and also features the now oop oldcadian ammo-drum bag.
(yes, I forgot to paint the metal loop on the strap holding the dynamites on the backpack, But I've done it since taking the photo...)


running reloading trooper. the pose works but it still looks like he's scratching his arse to me... can't unsee that now


Sgt with bolter. featuring 30k bolter ammo pouch and DW bolter ammo on chest.


groupshot with the first of these guard I did for comparison.

Damn I got bloody sick of these. I did have another four stormtrooper filey minis to do but I've decided I'm done with Filey now so have broken them back down into bits in a fit of pique.
I could have saved them for later, but they're just boring and I've moved on since I started these.
Hell, I don't even know why I've even done them as a full infantry squad of ten anyway, I don't even game anymore so there's no need for it really.

my lacklustre energy has coloured the work on them (or my perception of them? I can't even tell anymore), I just couldn't be bothered and did these four as three sittings of around four hours of work. (not including drying times and coffee and lunch and that)
however the twelve hours of work has resulted in something thats a bit meh if I'm honest...

one thing's for sure, I will not be batch painting anything again. I had to keep changing the order I was painting them in because as I finished one stage at a time, by the fourth mini, I could see how slap dash I was getting after doing the same thing on the other three.
no more than two minis at a time for me I feel. its the only way I can keep up the quality and still maintain my interest

gah! it was just grind and I guess it might just be my mood of late but its not what the hobby is supposed to be is it?
supposed to be fun, enjoyable and a bit of an escape from the hum-drum and the tedious.
its not even the old; "bored of this because I want to do my newer models now", thing
no, not at all.
I feel just as meh about those too at the minute...

I've felt like this on occasion, changing my mind on my painting plans for a day and coming back to it later but not as bad as this. its been a month or more I've been like this now.
usually this feeling is only a day or two.

you guys ever suffer from this model writers-block like this?

I know others must get it. usually those with more money than sense that buy set after set after set and never paint them, creating a pile of shame. but I've always assumed that they are gamers that get caught up in the hype.
I can say I'm certain I don't fit in that catagory though...

Somehow I missed your last entry! A belated happy birthday to you! You don't look a day older than 40!!

The Marine looks very cool and I instantly know which marine that you were trying to recreate. I am equally impressed by the conversion and the fact that my memory has worked!! lol.

The new guardsmen look ace. Despite what you think of them. Hobby burnt out is a serious thing. Especially if you've been painting the same thing, or the same style of thing, for ages. Painting a guardsmen no matter the model is still just a guardsman. Maybe swap it around for a bit? Do some scenery or a different scale? Plenty of new stuff to look at, especially with Epic rearing it's head. Even doing some 'easy' drybrush work on a BFG ship or something can help.

I had burn out with my World eaters. I was just sick of painting marines so I just started painting some scenery for Titanicus. Completely different scale and a nice easy style of painting (dry brush). I haven't managed to get back to the World eaters just yet but I've gone onto some titanicus instead. Maybe one day I'll get back to them but, eh, I've kinda given up on 28mm gaming and was only doing them to join in with my mates games. Which is never a good reason to paint something but there it is.

Many thanks folks, I feel that now I've got past the Filey droptroops I hope I can get enthused again.
As Lord B said, with those kind of troops no matter how you cut it. once done in the same colourscheme all you get is another guardsman.
Hell, they might as well be the exact same guy in the different poses! LOL
Its what I was going for but it did burn me out nonetheless...

the nucadians I've converted have more character so Im looking forward to those again now. each one has its own identity and is not lost in the faceless-troop-syndrome of the others I've done...

also got a bit of a ringer thats likely to be a contriversial choice, to go with the CF's coming next so watch this space! LOL

oh, btw the stock on the bolter is from and old second edition marine bolter. felt it fitted the mini well so I used it.

So. got another Crimson Fist done:

Lt. Gabriella Sanchez-Ramerez
Once asked by a biggoted planetary govenor why he was being given a report by a woman she was heard to reply, "because only astartes women give birth to real men..."


Yup, Thats a female space marine. Get over it...


The inspiration is clearly from Gabs;

One of the old Rogue trader era female marine mini of yesteryear, but bought up to the 21st century.
An experiment in making female astartes armour set that is unquestionably female but not over sexualised, nor homogenous or gender-neutral.
not an easy task but possible I knew. The stormcast have that nailed in my opinion. bodyform of the chest, hips and legs is definately female but somehow a LOT more practical than, say, the sororitas armour. much more how the female eldar are against the male, but not how the female cadians are done. Im sorry but slappng a female head on a male body is not only anatomically incorrect but insulting to all the beauty of the female form, in my opinion.
Ok not as insulting as some of those teenage-power-fantasy, practically pornographic 3rd party printables and fanart out there, but you know what I mean.
For examples of other good stuff, look how vikky lamb or anvil does female guard to see what I mean about how to do it properly. they're spot on.

My other inspiration came from a certain deadly little lady in power armour that rocked the look back in the nineties;

Samas Aran of Metroid. (shown here in metroid3, aka super metroid)
This got me thinking; braced pose, looking cool/at-ease, big shoulder-pads, perhaps helmet in hand, and a suitable female head to finish the look.
With this in mind I based her on one the latest stormcast, so, yes, this one has had quite a makeover.
I first cut her into two parts, torso and legs seperate.
then I mated the front of her torso with the rear of a mk6 astartes one.
this had the effect of not only featuring the arse-plate to cover the leg join but also made fitting a mk6 backpack a doddle.
next I used a few offcuts of ribbed piping (from meltaguns I believe) to make up a more 40k style belly area. the abbs were nice but the pipe cement it in 40k more.
The resultant gaps on the thighs were Greenstuffed away and a few pockets added from the infntrator/incursor set to hide a bit of fudging and to round the model out a bit.
The front half of the belt was from a phobos armoured marine, basically because it has a nice 'V' shape to it that amplifies the feminine look on the waist area of the mini.
The arms are from the old marine biker's, one holding a hollowed out mk6 lid and the other featuring a primaris hand on one of my tigrus/umbra bolters I've done on all these so far. the pads are straight up mk6 and that just left the head.
this one is from the anvil female private contractors range.
I chose one with the aviators for added 80's flair and because her hairstyle matched samus's when she's in her zero suit... see here:

(this is Anya Ichios' cosplay for those intersted)
A happy coincidence that the blue of the CF happens to hark back to this too, eh?

Painting was the same as the others. the only difference was the pockets, which were done as on the scouts and the cloth parts at the back of the knees and heels which I could have GS'd but decided that one, I didn't care (so nither should you ) and two, its another a nice throwback to the scouts, matching their battle-fatigues nicely.

More graffiti. this one is actually a quote from Delen from Babylon5, as its a bit of an in-joke with me and the mrs.
works though, so on it went and done!

heres an old WIP I never did get round to showing you;

shows off how I did it all I suppose so possibly usefull for those who wish to recreate.

Many thanks guys.


had this one on the go at the same time as Gabby. just finished the highlights/this-and-that, up this evening so its an unexpected midweek mini from me!

He's got a different head from last time, I swapped it out for a primaris ravenguard one instead, just for a bit of induviduality that marks him out from t'others.
As for the painting, I kept it simple, but added one of the old rogue trader marine 'specialist' symbols to the pad. as far as I remember this one simply means 'bolter specialist'. however it has been many years since I've actually seen one of these logos so the shape/colour could be completely wrong now I think of it, LOL.
I'll have to have a check in an old rulebook/whitedwarf or have a squint online and come back to you on that...
anyway, I felt he looked kinda tacticool so it fit nicely with his theme...
