I reckon the main problem with the Executioner turret is that the Cannon is so much bigger than the mantlet. I suspect if you rebuild the mantlet so it surrounds the gun you might get a better look. The Gatling Cannon is pure win however

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Hmm, this stuff is pretty nice. I like the bike pose a lot.

Could your next update include the Swedish version of the female commissar, please? That sounds really hot.

Yeah I could include the swedish version of the female commissar... but I know how squeamish most of you guys out there are when it comes to full frontal nudity, and I don't want to embarrass anybody out there

I love the gun servitor and everything about Sgt. Harker, except his left hand. Just the way you have it makes it look like he'd drop it. The heavy bolter just looks too awkward to actually carry like that, but then again, that's just my $.02

I love your macharius tank...it's the best scratchbuilt of it that I have ever seen.

I have a question. From where is the head of the commander of your macharius tank?

The scratch-build was great! However, on the painting, if you own an airbrush, even though I really don't know how to use them, maybe adding more shades of green possibly using washes or glazes to add depth to the plating? Maybe even just high-lighting would work but right now, it looks flat and kind of boring which an awesome tank like that shouldn't!

great job with the macharius; no suggestions there. as for your marbo, i'd add a more obvious knife to complete the model. you might have the standard catachan knife on the backpack but i think marbo deserves a bigger nastier one since it wounds wraithlords on a 2+!!

All of your conversions of the special characters look great. Just one question; what is that bit that you used for marbo's revolver?

Nice conversions! I used exactly the same gun for my Marbo, I think it looks the part as a ripper pistol.

what is that bit that you used for marbo's revolver?


A stub gun from necromunda as far as I can tell. Either from the weapons sprues you could get at the time or from the plastic Orlock gang that came with the original necromunda box.

Wow, great stuff! Once again my work is made to look like shenanigans. Your work looks so clean and exact, especially on the track assembly side of your Macharius. Again wonderful!
