good luck tho!^^

yeah... i find painting skin on standard sized troops much easier than very large area... getting a good even finish after the first wash i find the trickiest... and building the highlights i find very tedious...

That's because skin tends to not have very many rivets.

ahhh... thats it! she needs more rivets! ... now just need to figure out how you lot make then lol..

thanks very much... im particualy happy with how the interior of the DTH barrel worked out, i wanted it to look like its charging up and ready to unleash hell on the enemy.. im gonna take better pics of it soon because the ones i took were a little grainy...




tonight im working on two more ogryns, the fem-ogryn and the ogryn i describe as an exploited trooper style... basically he wants to look like a normal EDF trooper and fit in with the other 'normal' troopers , so the units have made him his gear... and in compensation they get him to carry ammo and weapons around the battlefield for when they run out... trouble is the ogryn dont know hes being tricked... he will never be 'one' of them!

Could you possibly do a step by step tutorial on how to paint skin?

lovley idea behind that mini....now i am eager to see that one... you have a great sense for making up new minis!!!

now just need to figure out how you lot make then lol..

well all the nice trade secrets are cluttered around our threads... if you have the guts... look into our threads^^ but be warned... that may take ages...

Just a very small update... been pretty busy this weekend doing conversions rather than painting but i got this done this evening.


heres the finished EDF HALO jumper (high-altitude-low-opening)



im really happy with the paint on this... took only 2 hours in all...
his feet are magnetised so at some point i will make it so he can be mounted on the rear door of a valk ready to jump out.

sadly thats all for tonight...

tommorrow evening i should have had two of my ogryns finished .... be prepared for giant fem-ogryn boobs

Very cool

That HALO jumper looks outstanding! Though with the folded stock you can see the cuts made. Otherwise it's an amazing mini!

Awesome work mate! loving every model in this thread! Could you tell me what parts you used to make your psycher btw, as I haven't come across a better vision for PBS as that model.

Sub'd

amazing work here, i love the specilized troops, im going to have to attempt to copy the NV and SEAL soldiers, but i have 2 questions, 1. page one, you have one of those catachan chainsword sergants with a GS tac vest, next time you do something similar, could you post a tutorial??
and 2, what models did you use for your ratling snipers?

great work on the parachuty guy mate! looks very cool!

That guy is awesome!

The ratlings are the old school models that are OOP. Should be able to find some on the cheap on ebay at some point though. Never bought any myself but they don't look nearly as cool without the guila suits ha ha. His do them great justice!

Again, you are at the top of your game! Amazing stuff.

This thread is subbed, This is awesome. Are you doing full squads or just single models, When it comes to the navy seals and the low alt. jumpers? I can't wait to see more from you.

for the record.. I've already gone through all of your posts 4 times now.. im exited to see what you have next

ah damm... yeah well the camera always lets me down... just when i think somethings perfect, i take a picture, zoom it in on photoshop and then its clear as day...

the psyker model is called 'dr klaus' from the projekt X range of minis... kinda alternate ww2 models in standard 28mm scale... most of the models from this range would be pretty cool for renagades armies..

its pretty tough for me to do tutorials onmodels i may only ever do one of, but i can definitly put up detailed photos of the sculpted minis before paint... most of the chestrigs and platecarriers are really easy to do, i just press the gs on it, cut it to the shape and then add detail from there... most i just sculpt with a scalpel.

yep... i never really liked the old models, not keen on the redcoat styled dress uniform they had and i really hate that ratlings run about barefoot...that annoys me... so as i decided to modernise the look of the EDF , i chose ghille suits.... very easy to make and to paint.

the combat diver, EOD and HALO jumper are just some unique models i made just to test my skills, im not planning on them becoming part of a squad. The nightfighting troops are going to be made into squads and are part of the special forces side to the EDF named the 'darksiders' ... overall i should have 4 sqauds of light and 4 of dark.
i havent fully ruled out the idea of making a waterborne element to my army, and if i do then i will be making a full squad of combat divers...

thanks for all the comments from everyone else, im glad you lot like what im working on... im trying my hardest to make things no-one has done before.

just finishing the camo on my 2 other ogryns atm... and working on a sm scout landspeeder storm to be use to drop special weapons teams into the feils like littlebirds. ... i love those choppers.

yea any prepainted pictures of those chest rigs would be geatly apretiated

ok i promised hot ogryn boobs and here they are!



heres the 360 of the model herself...

she dont have a background story as of yet or a name, but im sure il think up something in the future.

also the exploited ogryn who is tricked into carrying the troops spare ammo and guns..





thats all for tonight folks

c's &c's are always welcome!

Ok, been following this thread for a bit now, but just never gotten round to posting anything...

... so I see that a comment was posted...

... and I looked, and low and behold I messed my pants when I see fat-mamma Ogryn staring at me, with what I can only describe as Female Gremlin lips (see gremlins 2 for details )


Good work my good Sir, keep it up!

ashotninja wrote:ok i promised hot ogryn boobs and here they are!

OMG it was so worth it for me to click on this thread. SUBSRIBED

Actually, I like the lips most

has she had some surgery on her lips as well?

omg...that woman...what i like best is that crease fromed by the fat breast of her under the armpit and the bra... that is so to the point...

i think she made me a little bit look more on to the other shore^^

as for the amo grunt...some more amo and some rockets for him would have been nice too^^ but both ideas are just epic!!!

Is it sad that the female ogryn looks like my sister? Either Way great job! I love the ogryn models, and yet you have turned them into the best looking models ever. Do you plan on using them? Or did you just do it for the fun of it?

The IG transports can go in water, (Can't spell the correct word for this mind you) So a team of combat divers would be so cool. Not to try and get you to do more of them... But if you where to, That would make this thread even better than it already is. Right now this thread is like 99.5% Badass, more combat divers would give you that extra push to get to the 99.7% Doesn't seem like much, But when you are at the top of the hill its hard to go up from there.

KEEP IT UP!!! great work can't wait to see more.

Great work on the Ogryns, the female one looks disgusting! (Wich is a good thing, since female Ogryns are supposed to be disgusting..... )

If I may add some constructive critism, maybe add some beard/stubble/mustarche or combination of such to the ogryns? That'd make them look much rougher and meaner!

Awesome job man, that female thing is above imagination (luckily eheheh)

Nice job on the sculpting! I think you really nailed it!

Now come on Vik. There are disgusting examples of real life women on both sides of the pond. True, there might be more here, but that's because...well, we're lazy, for the most part.

Anyway ashotninja, you have some amazing minis here! Really great conversions! Do you take commisions for painting?

oh.. my... god... they look like identicle twins!

actually jake...my comment was intended to go into another direction at all...

Now come on Vik. There are disgusting examples of real life women on both sides of the pond. True, there might be more here, but that's because...well, we're lazy, for the most part.

if too many women look like that then the other shore means men for partnership...

Oh!!! Kind of like "Batting for the Other Team"?

My bad, I thought it was a (well deserved) jab at Americans being overweight.
