I love how you did the gryph hounds! so colorful and lively. They are for sure some of my favorite things gw has put out recently

I've had trouble with mdf too but i think that truck came together very well.

Yeah, me too. They really scored a hit with them. Peacock and leopard seemed a good combination - I even repainted one back to that scheme I liked it so much. Contrast does the peacock feathers well.

More Mithrans. At this point my goal is to get one unit of them as inquisitional henchmen and then call it good. The painting is pretty rough. For whatever reason I have a tough time with Kings of War models, which were the starting point. I do like that they don't really look like any historical period or fictional trope. I wanted them to just look odd, which they mostly do.

I love those Matadors! A nice colour scheme and the builds suit your theme very nicely.

Thanks! Been a while. I've done some fire fighters for the grimdark future. Here is Engine "C" for Corax, a light and nimble pumper for narrow streets and quick response. I have two more engines and maybe 3 more brethren to do. The Brethren are surgically modified, not really sure about how, but it involves hoses.

The truck started as a supermarket random toy - it actually had a nice amount of detail, like the roof hooks on the ladders.

Hey, great thread and something I'm also interested in. Only read the first and last pages so far but will be looking at more when I can.

I think actually having civilians in a game would add so much fun and flavour. For example I can imagine a mission where a few marines have to rescue some farmers before they get eaten by 'nids, using heavy farm equipment as weapons.

I'd say the fire truck needs something, maybe repaint it in a darker red? The raw plastic looks too toy-ish.

Where are the firemen from?

The firemen are great, but i agree that the truck needs to look a bit more imperialish.

Hmm, a darker red might work well. The firefighters are plastic "corrupted firefighters" from one of the board games - not sure which one. With greenstuff'd plague beaks.

I always enjoy seeing an update to your 40k civilians Kestral, always very creative ideas.

Well, it has been a while! A lot has changed, but hey, I still love miniatures, especially creatively scratch built ones - though mostly I have painting other people's stuff. However, you can see a bunch of the figures from this blog in an illustrated audio story:
