with lots of additions i might go along... the baycarrier look tho would have to be dealt with to be of any use for me...^^

any updates?

ah a good question and totally unprovocated at this^^

here i have somemore pics of some minis i have done today... again in a more steampunkish fashion...

i hope they are to your taste^^








i have done now a flamer and a sargent...


C&C very welcome....vik

I like the one in the last pic...just sat on his imaginary chair, chillin' with a skull helmet and a huge knife...

well actually he is standing like all the others... he is th flamer guy and he is for now without the base resting against the wall for support^^...so no imaginary chair...

ah...from the angle it looked like he was sitting...still cool...

well the flamer canister makes him so unbalanced...and i figured even when he is the flamer guy he needed not hold his flamer at the ready... when cutting work has to be done^^ as the old saying goes...:
well matey... stay close to your flamer and even closer to your chopey...cause Promethium isn´t grown on trees..."

they look like a bunch of evil minded pensioners, out to cause trouble at the bingo hall , eyes down 22 . Seriously they look real nice , now some paint please ;-)

bingo hall...wow...only some of them are bearded...and i thought they might look a bit like nobles...hmmm*makes frown*...

soddin´paintin´s also not going to please this nutshell of an audiance...

grumbl...

did i say pensioners , cough erm... cough i meant Regalaiterians , who look fine with or without paint

Regalaiterians ??? what is that in the emperors name? your still not off my hook yet....

While i'm firmly off the hook and happily in vik's tackle box.
BTW it's "vengeance"

anyway, schoolnight and all...read ya tomorrow!

thanks shrike... edited the title...so now i owe you a half^^

i made it up and thought your cursory grasp of my native tongue would be enough to fox you damb and blast your exsuisite english Von Domn

Looking ace there Vik!

Look forward to seeing them painted when you can get around to it!

thanks chibi... i wanted to built this squad up to a ten men crew and then go for painting...

i have seven now and it looks like i could do three more tomorrow...also a steamy comisor would be nice...
and i begin to feel the need for my own inquisitor... that could be a good retinue for him...?

Sound good to me.
A steamy Commissar makes me think of ....
wait...
this is a family show...

better stop right there!

do enlighten us... we will all be grown ups one day^^...sadly...

Ah, the Inquisitor would need advisors, scribes, bodyguards

yep...about how big a team should a becoming inquisitor should be getting?

Any updates, vik?
any...squads fully built?

how nice of you to ask about my current work^^ and so timely...*cough* thanks^^


so ladies and gentlemen...i proudly present the hitherto unnamed squad of my ten stemapunky veterans...

in full detail and with following up charctershots...






and now the charctershots...two each...to better admire them^^

sarge




























they will all get unique and maybe even speaking names to their bases...which in fact are curing now as i write here...
i have already pinned every mini on a cork and have primed them in our cellar...
speaking of...i might have overdone that prtiming on the models... is there still a posability to correct the minis and get rid of primer or have i maybe ruined my work here?
i will control the effort on them in the morning...

C&C and helpful posts very much welcome...

sarge

Oh, I say! Look over there! Those chaps look like they need a bit of whipping into shape!


I've got a jolly big gun, yet I am throwing a weapon the size of a fist! How ironic...


Pow! Pow! Pow! Oh, now you can shoot me while I reload my gun, but- Pow! I have two!


See above for mildly humorous caption.



I have a jolly big gun, and like my dear frined over there, I am wielding a tiny weapon and choose to get close instead! Double irony!

whoever thought that firing two guns without aiming would be fun?! Bravo!


What?! You want me to say something funny?! We're in the middle of a war! Just keep a straight face and walk towards them! Just like in WWI!


See my helmet? It's terribly frightening. And yet again, I have a big gun, but use a knife! Jolly good fun.


*Hawhumph...BOOM!* Wow that was fun! Now how do I reload this thing?


I have a grenade but...THROWING KNIFE!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
*Yawn*...7:00 start tomorrow...read ya later!

Well, they are all characterful models, so they do deserve names Vik!

thanks to both of you^^

at shrike...
i give you that ...some of your comments are too damn right...tho i have to say in defence they did make snese to me when i was building them...
and as for the flamer...he uses the machete when a flamer is just not the right kind of weapon...one might ask when this might be the case?...well look at his fingers on his left hand...i think he just wants to clean his fingernails...

at shaso...
feel free to lend a hand in naming the crew...^^

Well, you have sarge already next guy I would call "Blaster" with the huge gun and love of explosives.

Next two would be "Two shot" and "Spike"

Big gun and small knife I would dub thee "Toothpick"

The the double shotgunner "Double Barrel"

After him "Pretty Boy" or "Movie Star"

After him the flamer guy with the board so many possible names like "Scorchman" or "BBQ" or whatever, you get the idea.

Guy with the hand mortar, "Thumper"

Last guy as "Dual action" see if you like any of those VIk

Sgt. Jackson Tennpenny

Lt. Niles Searworth

Robert Spenton

Heinrich Klausmann

Fulgrim Jakobson

Andrew Smith

Michael St. Johns

Henry Hendricks

William Tanner

Peter Drabb

subbed!

at anvil dude...

there are some names known to me^^
william tanner made me laugh^^

the sargents name sound really cool...something in the lines of theis i had thought for them...some british sounding names with the occaisional influence of other countries as this is a multinational endeavor^^

at shaso...

your nicknames are very nice, some of them will definatly be used...
blaster and toothpick and two shots and i definatly like pretty boy... reminds me of faceman^^
the flamer guy i think needs something not to obvious, mabye something with a hint of sarcasm... like cook or something in that line of thought^^, maybe even "freeze"


so yesterday it was priming time...

did some more minis too as i want to stay ahead of the gae and have something to do inbetween...if i get bored by a scheme... so i did some catachan plastics and some warzone minis too...9 of the later and i still have 40! of em still on sprue... now i am contemplating to do a force for them too...
and maybe i go the full martial german route here...what fo you think? some nasty ones...maybe with a little choasy taint too? this could be a whole new thing then...
and if so what choas gods would be fitting? more WWI setting as they mostly have pickelhauben and the overall gear looks that way...


well i quit the banter and here are the whites^^

groupshot of the primed work:


catachans and warzone germans...


and here are the new guys...:


behind them you can even see their first step prepared bases to be later used...

i mounted the steamslodiers on corks and pinned them... the bases will be a bit uneven and also i think with them i want to do a next step in painting...thus preparation is more thought through...i hope this will help...

cheers peeps and you now the drill
