@LDD - I know what you mean but it's important as he said to draw a line between zombie and ganger. I think I will smooth out the most horrifying injuries and flesh over any exposed bone as it will make him look more alive.

Have ordered a load of stuff from megabits so there should be plenty to see soon,

Yes see his point looking forward to the update then

Quick request, does anyone following this blog own an imperial knight and have a spare transfer they would be willing to part with for a nominal fee?

I'm after the one with the portcullis mouth



Apologies for the cheeky request can't find a site where the transfers are sold individually. If anyone knows of one let me know

If you cant find one over there I can accommodate the request for the price of shipping.

Those Scavvie conversions are simply fantastic. Oozing character.

I really like the Nurgle spawn with the headswap, the herald head scales really well.

@whalemusic thanks I may need to take you up on that as you have been the only reply. Many thanks

@ mediumofdeath thanks dude. Kind as always.

I made it down to warboar games in Bromley today. It really is a fantastic shop and it is so good to actually see maxmini, avatars of war, kromlech etc in the flesh rather than online to get a real idea of their scale and suitability.

My bitz order also came through so I should have a busy day on Tuesday and hopefully some models to show at the end of it.

Today's work was a little rambling and incoherent. Firstly I had yet another head merrygoround. The original faces I had ordered for my scalies arrived and although I enjoyed the fact that the smaller heads made them look bloated, the new ones created a more reptilian look and tied the two models more closely together. I doubt it will be a popular change with some of you but it did free my scavvy king head back up to go on my leader where I kind of feel it belongs.







After that I tackled the long burning issue in my head of how to build chaos marauders that don't suck massive balls, here is the first attempt, my very own lord of bones





Finally as I was sorting through my bits box I came across this guy, I have been toying with what to do with him for ages, It so happens that over the weekend I was looking through some of my very VERY old white dwarfs (remember that magazine?) and found some awesome genestealer hybrid art so I thought I would start turning him into a cool magus.



Still plenty to go. If anyone knows any good hybrid resources throw them my way. I can't face the idea of starting another whole army but maybe a kill team? Regulars here will know my knowledge of 40k is pants. What kind of points makes a kill team? If I had a psyches, a squad and something like a sentinel and ran them with guard rules would that be enough?

Any who so that's a bit of Munda, a bit of WFB/ mordheim and a bit of 40k, hopefully something for everyone.

Nathanie1 out

Theres a few versions of KT, but basically you'll have a 200 point list with modified FoC. What slot do the Psykers take up in the new book?

The scavvies are looking great. I think the new heads work for the scallies, maybe they would look even more lizard like with the ears shaved off? I think they were slightly cooler models with the previous heads, but this way they do look truer to their name and fluff.

The marauder looks great but the feet don't quite work, the boots are too modern looking. I did a similar conversion for my mordheim gang and just added a flappy bit around the top of the boots, that or fur ought to work well.

You could just use the magus for necromunda. There are some genestealer rules around the place (I wrote some myself that are OK).

yo chaps,

to generate some funds to continue my model making I am selling some of my Scavvies, namely a Scaly and my Boss.

you can find them on eBay here:

I am also selling some other random necro models including some rare items (redemptionist with grenade launcher, delaque with lascannon) so please check it out if you are interested.

good luck with the sale...tho international bidders are of no interest?...

Yes Vik I will post international if people are brave enough to pay the postage. Hope you are well mate

all is well...

and well... seems you are parting with some of your best gems here...

Onwards and upwards Mr von doom. Too many ideas that need realising.

that is the spirit... if you´re in need of bits...let me know...

Today's task, trying to build a better plague sword





Still working on various ideas for the pommel

look at the size of that thing....


looks mythic to me .thumbsup:

Nice work. You could have said that you had just bought that and I would have believed you. Tidy job.

Why thank you Dr H. I posted it because i half knew I would continue to mess around with it and f**k it up, which I then proceeded to achieve. Reworking it again now. grrrrrrr

That's easily done, even on a fairly simple sword (I know).
Knowing when to stop is always difficult. But if you don't try, you don't get. Keep at it.

Good take on the Chaos Marauder (that don't suck balls) how you combined those pieces to come up with that is out of my reach

Is the torso from the beastmen ? also is that a forgeworld renegade arm I see there as well ? and lasty can we see the other arm please.

I still think it was a great idea to use those Kromlech Ork bodies for the scavies I might borrow that for something similar if you don't mind

I also agree that the sword looks like an actual kit piece rather than a conversion piece, however how big is that thing

Its big LDD but it's for a daemon Prince/ bloated herald so it needs to be. I have spare Ork bodies from the blister so PM me and I can pop some in the post.

Thats very kind of you mate but no need thanks I have about 4 sets of the dam things I bought some for a project that has yet to get off the ground ( shut up Vik )

But I might try one out on an idea which will be easier than doing 7 different minis Any way I want to see you do more with them

Once again thanks for the kind offer

Unfortunately I'm all Scallied out but there may be more uses down the road?

I am sure you will find some creative way to use them

Today I'm putting some time in on my daemon Prince. I don't know how long I have been tinkering with this miniature for but it is turning into my opus.he has been through so many changes and I'm just lucky that all the things that I have tried have not caused any permanent damage to the core section of the model

Today I tried my hand at scratch sculpting for the first time. After attaching the daemon sword to the arm through pinning, I decided that building a claw around the grip of the sword was the best chance I had to make it look like it was being held properly. This is still a WIP but I have achieved a basic shape and for my first ever attempt I'm pretty pleased with how it is going so far.

The camera seems to throw the scale of the sword off a little, all I can say is that when I view it in real life it does not look over sized.

Nice work.
Hands are really difficult to get right and you've done a good job, so well done.

Now I see what the sword was for nice work once again, the hand has turned out well but loving the tubes out the back really gives the model more character

@Dr H - thanks. I've cut it down slightly now the GS has hardened so the fingers are looking less like sausages, it's very much learn as I go but the larger scale is giving me some leeway.

@LDD - cheers, yes the vents have helped massively on the back section, I just have to make a decision as to whether I add more or not.

I personally would not add anymore vents as it might over crowd the model, the balance looks right to me but thats just my opinion
