Because we’re here,lad...

Sirs,Ma'ams,Ladies and Gents,

Link to the new project 25/04/18 https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/570/341924.page

Click on the link to my latest projects http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/150/341924.page

So here is my P+M blog. Please be honest,constructive,critical etc. If you have any hints/tips/ideas/comments/banter so on so forth then I want to know. I just want to say thankyou to all those who have influenced my thinking (i.e. I've robbed your ideas).

So on with the monstrous first page. First up, what I consider finished (for now):



















And finally,the group shot...



So it's not too bad. However, I wish to add the following:

x5 Terminators
x2 Dreadnaughts
x1 Landraider
x Daemon Prince
x2 Plague Marine squads
x1 Rhino

So up with the Daemon Prince first.









He's been neglected for a few months, and the words I uttered when GW released the new plastic model shall not be uttered here. But I'm going to griz it through and get him finished. I did toy with the idea of getting a alternative DP from,say UltraForge, but it's too nice a model to coat in GS. So the GW Daemon Prince it was.

Here's some of the WIP pictures of my new Terminators:

Champion








Reaper Cannon








Rest of Terminator Squad







So theres still an absolute mountain of work to do, but I don't want to buy another FW kit. I loathe the tusked helmets, and the shoulder guards (the gurning skulls) are not my cup of rosy, so I'm plodding through, making each as indvidual as possible.

The squad of Plague Marines



Again, I'm not a great fan of the GW versions, but (A) I'm not buying FW kit and (B) I'm not into wasting models unessacerely (I can never spell that bloody word right). I am a great believer of recycling what I already have, such as three drop-pods,a dreadnaught (as above) and old models off the lads who need them re-homed.

The second of three dreadnaughts



Not sure what I'm going to do with this yet. It's the 2nd ed lead version. Any ideas?

The third of three dreadnaughts



Again, and old 3rd ed Space Wolves Dreadnaught. I'm also using the sarcophagus off of the metal Venerable Dreadnaught. I've just started to cut the legs, so pictures will follow shortly.

And finally, the Land Raider and Rhino.





So, recycling kit that I painted 5 yrs ago is my new flavour of the year. I've also 'aquired' 6 Rogue Trader 'Beaky' SMs, and also a few RT metal blokes, including an old Librarian!
Pictures will be added tomorrow of items yet to be displayed.

So, the plan in rough? Terminators and Daemon Prince will be done concurrently. Then I'm away for 7 weeks at work, meaning that at the end of this week, my plog will fall into myth, until I'm back in March to square away the rest of the troops. But this week, greenstuff Terminators and finish base coating the DP.

I don't know about you, but I'm off for a cigarette....

Nice stuff BTB! Those Acrylic bases are really intriguing, never have to worry that your base scheme won't fit with the board you are on...

Thanks Tom. I got the idea for the acrylic bases from an old P+M blog. A guy had done a desert SM army and I thought 'thats a quality idea'. They're made by a company called 'Litko Aerosystems'. They custom design any dimension and material base format that you heart requires. Give 'em a google. Dead good

Holy cats Bash... love those plague marines! I'm not much of a chaos guy but you and Yggs have really made me change my opinion on that.

I really like the tone and feel of them... not just mounds of oozing green puss (which at least to me gets old after the 100th viewing). The bronze and verdigris are a very nice compliment to the bone color of the marines and equipment.

The clear bases are genius too... well done man!

And I didn't even comment on all the conversion work... shame on me! Very tastefully done Bash... nurgle, but with a different spin... I like that. I wonder if you might consider altering the color of your plasma cores... the blue kind of gets lost in the verdigris...

@Rodgers37 - Thanks mate. Well this Thursday will be the first time that I will have played in GW Norwich despite living in Norwich for all of my 26yr existance.

Between 6 of us in our little gaming club, we play either in my gameroom/garage or my brother-in-law's house. We both live in Sprowston so it's ideal.

No shame required friend. Nice thought on the Plasma coils though. I've been institutionalised by the White Dwarf pages. I'm going to consider a change....hmm. Food for thought.

Not saying don't go to Norwich GW....
But there is another club, that may or may not be an option (think they might not be looking for new members at the moment), called Norwich Last Stand, located in Mucnhies cafe, next to Iceland (we used to play in Battlenet above, before it shut) On a Thursday night, from 4/5-10PM.... I'm currently in Canterbury at Uni, and can only go in the holidays. But because there is only room for 5 tables at the moment in the cafe (and card gaming downstairs) I think it gets busy at times...

@rodgers - Ahhh I know where abouts that is. On St Stephens street. Will have to windmill my way to a clear table.

@MajorTom - I like the suggestions. I'll dig out a plasma gun, do some testers,see what I fancy.As for cost,100 bases (25mm) cost me about $35 including shipping.

@Gitsplitta - The Profile pic is off a documentory about 'Hooligan camps' for kids in the Netherlands. I liked it.

@MajorTom - Tell me about it! Especially for across the pond shipping aswell. I've based my Escher gang on these aswell and they look really smart. Maybe there'll be a new fashion in man-dollies...

@Malganess - Thanks mate. I like clean Plague Marines, its' just my thing. I tried to go for the 'Post-pre-heresy' colour scheme.

Ok, here's the detail of the Heavy-flamer Terminator

The hazard stripes are not brilliant, so they'll be re-done. In fact they're bloody awful *embarrasing*

And Dreadnaught 1


And a dry mock up of Dreadnaught 3


@Zack - The company is called 'Litko Aerosystems' They do custom bases in any colour,any material. Give them a look.

Loving the GS work, really wish I could do more of it. Painting is great too. Love Drop Pods!

Out of interest what glue do you use to stick them to the bases? I would expect more 'cloudyness' to show on the base from a normal super glue, or are you just amazingly steady with the amount you use?

I'm no expert on hazard stripes but I always find it easier to paint the whole area yellow first, then use the black to do the stripes. Not sure which way you did them but I found this works for me.

Need more 's in my life!

@Emperors_Champion - Thanks for the comments mate.I never thought of doing hazard stripes like that. I such a blonde (I am blonde for all you blondists out there)

As for the Drop pods, No one in their right mind spends £85/$140 on Dreadclaws for normal tabletop play, so I brought second-hand SM ones off ebay. I'm dead chuffed with how they've turned out.

And the bases, I used normal GW plastic glue for,well,the plastic troops,just using a tiny blob under each foot. The metal minis got pinned to the base with a thin slither of copper wire, coated in a thin layer of super glue. Then leave them to dry in a airing cupboard, so that no humidity gets trapped,causing said cloudiness.

The GS is easy.My missus is a Dental Nurse,so I get loads of discarded dental tools (The pointy-hooky thing that old gippers use to get crap out from underneath their dentures is the best) just look in the P+M tutorials. Thats how I learnt.

Beautiful work mate, and great to have you finally back (I/we good btw, cheers). Loving 99% of this but not sold on the front of dread 1: could we get a better shot? I think pale is the way to go with nurgle - it's the angle I took with cryx thralls m'self - and really looking forward to seeing more. Can't wait for the DP! Gonna try gs'ing a Blight Drone?

@graven - Thanks mate.I really appreciate it.

I'm with you on the front of dread 3 tbh. I'm going to stick with it for the mean time as it makes the body longer (as in front to back). I'm also going to put washers inbetween the the ankles and feet,the hips and base of torso and the shoulders to make him alot more taller and wider.

As for a better shot, I'll sort one out for tomorrow,when I've thought the pose out abit better.

Blight Drone? I didn't even consider it.Hmmm...

I said to myself 'stick to the army list,whatever they say,just stick to the army list'.

That just went out of the window...

Wow.. you're on a whole new level of swearing over there.

Nice work! Love it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love the non-green, non beer belly, non tank top marines for death guard. Good stuff man! The individual termy's are a great idea. I love the verdigris idea and I'm going to 'be influenced' by it for my next death guard army for sure.

On the dreadnoughts, buy some plasticard mate. Take a look at my blog (currently on hold while my new parts/materials etc arrive) at the dread.. or quicker still just take a look in my gallery. You can change the entire spin of the dread with a few small changes and mine might give you some ideas.

Keep it up man.. will be watching for sure. Woot finally someone else who calls them wee man-dollies!
