Holy crap, I can only exalt such a beast. It's so Metal. Congratulations on such a great piece.

Rolling metal art. Awesome job!

Rad. Is White Dwarf still a thing? If it is, we ought to find a way to get you in it.

That land raider absolutely stunning and 100% METAL! The stripes are off the hook and the burning city scape is just nuts, real T2 flavours. The earlier post with the defiler was full of win too, it was good of him to paint hazard stripes on his claws . The ghostly boos and Poxwalkers look cool too, the grave stones are a good addition

Wow. That's just amazing freehand, the contrast between the hazard striped/muraled sides and the silver top and front is great too. What an amazing centerpiece.

Hi all, thanks to everyone for the very kind comments, I was really happy with how the freehand came out. Ive been nervous about trying a 'big' piece, so Im very pleased that people seem to like it!

And now for something completely different.

TRAITOR OGRYN CONVERSION


So- waay back in 2009? 2010? I decided to get some WFB Ogres (cheap on Ebay) and convert them to traitor ogryn. I forget why I did this.. I think they were cheap on ebay? Anyway, I didnt do a good job:


(as you can see Id already started to canniblise it for bits lol).

Anyway, come 2022 and Kill Team MOROCH comes out with the blackstone fortress Ogryn and I decided it was time to revisit at least one of these guys and see if I could pump out a better version a little quicker.

First up - start with the weapons. I wanted it to be very like the blacktone fortress ogryn, so I tried to replicate the main parts of its appearance. this involved a Nid scything talon and a piece of angle material from the cities of death terrain (plus bits)



body needed some greenstuff:


Then I added some milliput and made a spiked shoulder trophy rack (this is a steel staple from a large cardboard box bent to shape with some thick gardening wire).





then it was an undercoat to see how it looked:



And then finally paint!









Let me know what you think of the end result!

Next project for the IW discord challenge is some more heavy metal - 10 Metal Chaos Terminators from 1995/96

Cheers
KT

Came out nicely! Very gribbly guy, the skin is especially nice.

G'day G'day - Ive finally found a few minutes to post some updates!
its been a whole month since I posted! I *did* get this month's iron warriors discord challenge done - I did 10 old school chaos terminators (from 1995/96) and a custom banner











Enjoyed finally putting some paint on these lads a lot, although I really started to get sick of hazards... sigh, batch painting is NOT for me

I did do some freehand on the shoulderpads

I also had a lot of fun making the banner:









Im also working on a new project at the moment - - can you guess what it is?


cheers
KT

That banner looks great, fantastic work!

Wow great job, those old termies look phenominal. They hold up really well, especially the shoulders and power fists. And I'm totally not jealous of the banner. I have a really tough time coming up with ideas for banners.

That banner is SICK! Fantastic work as ever, the sculpting is immense

One can only marvel at the results of your work.

Hi all, thanks for the kind words

Apologies for the massive picture dump here, I was very pleased with the banner and it got me excited to sculpt again. So, i got to work making three big warty balls...



Here is my scratch built Feculent Gnarlmaw!

its started life as a deoderant lid, aluminium foil, and three old deoderant balls:


The balls needed some enwartening

then some wrinkles (and the addition of a firm ballring


After this I needed to start attaching them:

I added the ball horns here too, your balls can never be too horny

THORNS. I meant so say THORNS. THORNY BALLS.

ahem

then you need your wavy tree arms (branches as they are called by professional treeologists)





Things were going great, and then I looked the pic of the GW feculent gnarlmaw - I needed bells!
Too easy:

and what does a bell need? A bell needs a nurgling - I named her Smiley Virus, for reasons I hope are obvious:




This chap is unnamed - feel free to suggest one though




As well as this little peekaboo chap:


I added the mouth and thought I would drop in a tongue:

I think this worked out pretty well tbh


and after some more bits and bobs, we end up here, ready for me to put on some paint!

Finally, I *have* put on the base coat and done a few details. Loads more painting to go, but its getting there




Hope you like it!
Cheers
KT

*snort* papa nurgle does love a triumvirate of large (t)horny-warty balls! He would be most proud of this particular set. Excellent sculpting and punnery, capped off by Smiley Virus . The best I can come up with for the un-named chap is Ding Dong, or Dinger Bell? A bit tame perhaps?

Really impressive work, especially for entirely built from scratch. Vertical mouth full of maggots is particularly unsettling

Amazing, very impressive. Wouldn't think it was built from scratch if I saw it!

Thanks all
here is the final painted Gnarlmaw in all its gory-glory











and the nurglings:

Disgusting!

That is truly disgusting, great work!!

The glossiness of the maggots is really manky.

Those maggots look so real!

Thanks all - its still weird to read "That's disgusting, great job" but I'm glad folks liked it!

Quick update - After finishing the Gnarlmaw, I had a few weeks to fit in another project - so I knocked off a few more Octarius ork lads

Flamer ork







Ork Boy






Ork Dakka boy






Now we have a new month and I have TWO conversion to do for the next two month challengs:
- August is flyers and
- September is an Ebay rescue

I'll post more shortly.
Cheers
KT

Love that skin and checks, and the cases Nd flames also came out very nice.

Nice job on the kommandos, I can only hope mine turn out half as well!

Nice work there darkkt.

Cheers,

CB

Im...

....still....


................here.....

Damn. Life got super busy on me and whilst I continued painting and stuff, I just didnt have the time for posting! Which sucks, because I think I pumped out some reasonable stuff in the last few months.
Perhaps the key is to post quick and limit the number of photos i gotta link etc.

Here's a model I did for the Dakka Dakka Halloween contest:





I'll try posting another couple of photos in the next few days

It’s annoying how real life gets in the way of hobby . The Orks came out great and the ghostie looks nice and spooky too!

Haha Thanks Gobert

Going to just drop in some more recent work Ive completed - this was a crappy Rhino that got Rescued - I.e. completely stripped back and made into a 'vindicator laser destroyer'. Had a great time playing with this one - let me know what you think!









A close up of the freehand:




Here is the 'original'



and the stages of the rescue are below:





(note - the 'engine' is the twist cap from an artifical maple syrup bottle)





Did I get a greenstuff tentacle roller recently? Ah yes, why do you ask?




See you next time!
Cheers
KT

It looks great! It's really about to ruin a Superheavy's day.

I was thinking the engine was an Xmas ornament

Cheers for the process pics, the end result is great

Wow, that is a perfect IW experimental laser destroyer ! Well done, definitely has the relic/precious prototype look
