That is some amazing freehand. That must have took ages, great work. The whole mini is really stunning, great update to the plog!


An hour, maybe ? There's nothing complicated going on in it, just a steady hand and a couple of thin layers without much blending going on.

Thanks Boss, always ready to rip and tear until it is done

The legio currently stands at 12 painted titans and 18 knights, of which at least 4 god-engines and ~10 knights are suited for extreme close proximity violence. If only one could arrange some games this year without accidentally infecting and killing people, I could finally properly try out a list that could be solely dedicated to ramming fists down some mechanical throats en mass

Hiyo!

With my stint at the military pretty much done, there's time to work with minis again. I had gotten hold of a set of FW's Gal Vorbak a while ago, which I wanted to use as a base for either spawns or possessed marines, representing various failed Librarians of the Echoes in the warp's flesh-changing grip. Such lovely models. They turned out as nicely chunky possessed, nine in total, ready to die for the XIV one last time after being thrown out of their prison.

One of them became a proper librarian, since he just didn't look warped enough during the process so whatever

I really dig the 30k version of Deathshrouds, make so much more sense when fielded in the numbers the new DG codex wants. These look particularly The Business

Thanks Boss!

Sadly, most 40k games can only fit 18 scythe boys with the rule of three in effect... It would be fun to run Mortarion and 49 Deathshrouds at once for the lolz

Hm, that would actually only be about 3000 points or a bit less. I should build more scythe boys, then...

It is a most human tendency to look at your old works with some disdain, especially when you're showing them to other people. After all, the newer works are surely more representative of your art.

But then there are some things where you just go "eh, that's still cool". For me that's my Space Hulk project from 2009, the zenith of my teenage modeling skills. Despite being pretty roughly handled by convention goers over the years, this demo set has never failed to draw curious onlookers to the table. I'm still forever bitter about starting the project with 30 mm squares, making it a bit narrow for most modern models in general ZM use. One of these years, one of these years I swear I'll build a new and better one with blackjack and hookers...

But while waiting for that retirement plan, this summer's main Finnish convention is still digital due to earlier Corona restrictions. Not letting such little things stop me from some good gaming, I went and designed a virtual tabletop setup for SH on Tableplop with lots of immersive pictures for various situations during the game. "Into the Heart of Darkness" shall be our celebration of Richard Halliwell and his works, as a thousand bolter shots will mourn his passing.

Maybe I'll even paint the rest of the terminators in that box one day

Enjoy!









































Next set, finally some better pictures of the table itself

I really like the flamer projection shot with the billowing clouds of smokey, flaming death. Really cool. Also, the pipe in the final shot is a simple, but awesome and effective detail. It looks like you used wire as brackets, taking advantage of the styrofoam material you used for the walls. Is that correct?

Thanks, the little tea light explosions have made many a battle far more fun at the table

As for the piping, yeah. Simple steel wire pushed into the foam both looks like it belongs there and helped to keep the straw in place while the PVA dried.

Some shots from the old table itself (omitting the later-made wall parts and such, which are the same height for ZM skirmish table purposes when grids aren't required).



When I started the build in 2009, I made enough bits to play out the first mission in classic Hulk: the Suicide Mission. Afterwards I realised the folly of 30 mm squares and lost the original motivation. This mission is an evergreen demo favourite, so no big loss in that regard and you can even see it in the little details like the map in the corner, which is the map of said mission

Some grand Titanicus slam tonight!

1750 points of Favilla's hyper-aggressive Ferrox pain-train took on a two-player Krytos / Fureans alliance, facing off on a desert world tainted by a foul, toxic atmosphere (which could worsen critical damage over time) and wracked by a painful, daemonic presence (which made machine spirits even more unruly than usual). Both sides were trying to break deeply into the other's lines.

A perfect display of Titanicus as a game: first turn was agressive maneuvering, followed by a wild firestrom, third turn nuclear annihilation and a fourth turn mop-up of those still standing. My Ashen Gods took the field by Full Striding through the line on the first turn while the opposition dillydallied in their corner, losing the momentum and then getting slaughtered with their backs to the wall. While the result was a blowout 35-7 points and 6-2 casualties for Favilla's favour, the game was hugely fun for all involved and a rematch shall surely follow in time. All the beautifully painted and visually distinctive armies don't hurt, either

My favourite moment was at the end, as my teleporting Clawlord finally got a Charge on the opposing Deus Victrix and tore his reactor heart out in one neat display of four Critical Hits to the body. Fists for days!

A lot to catch up on. Really fast turnaround on the Deathshroud and they look amazing. And iirc the Rule of 3 is for official tournaments and not a standard rule per se. So if you got a game opponent you cold to Morty and the 49 Deathshrouds
That Space Hulk Board is ace and I do hope you will one day built a Bender-approved new version!

Yeah, rule of three isn't a hard limit by the core rules as such. It's in the GT pack if memory serves. Still, it's one of those basic things that will be in use most of the time, though I doubt most people who are fun to play with would oppose such a themed and obviously underpowered army every once in a while

Terminators! Who doesn't love them? I sure do, though I do now somewhat regret painting twenty of the buggers at once
Looking over at the force as it stands, the termies apparently just are loved more in this house. I've made like 40 of them, counting characters, after starting this project in 2016 while the mere 20 normal infantrymen that kicked off the whole thing are still somewhat unfinished and the 100+ other troopers still haven't gotten out of their boxes. Whoops.

Click 'em bigger for deets! This time I finally tested out some weathering powders. Quite conservatively, but I am still satisfied with their potential. Expect more of those when the next lot gets painted.




Sorry for less than stellar shots, the weather decided to feth with my camera in particular today.

Cheers Boss, no model left unconverted

The smokestacks are funny. I originally started putting them on the termies to imitate the FW's Grave Wardens look, but it has since become a thing on all my terminators. Fits the theme, since they haven't fallen to Nurgle but use the DG codex rules so there obviously is a constant corrosive miasma cast around them (giving all the enemies that sweet -1 Toughness) and it makes them look more esoteric, even barbaric in comparison to the bare plate their loyalist kindred sport.

That's an awesome group of termies mate, well done. Colour scheme is great - love the red, really pops as a contrast colour and isn't something you see often with DG. They're also probably the first minis I've seen in red/white/green that manage to avoid feeling Christmassy! Maybe because of the grungy weathering and blood!

Great action shots on this page too. The terrain and photography really brings the minis to life. Brilliant work mate, thanks for sharing!
