Long time no update! Very interested to see what this turns out to be.

What do you get when you hack up a giant space gorilla?

Robot 'Ogryn' in progress...

Monkey see, monkey do!

Small break from other projects top update my Iron Wolves a little for a tournament... Adding some scouts. About 70% finished.

Yay for last minute tournie prep...

It works... Just love the purple.

Huh... it does look rather purple in that shot. Was posted from my phone, so didn't really notice.

It's actually boltgun metal with a black wash, same as my other Iron Wolves. Just weird lighting.


Apparently, though, while my wife is tolerant of a lot of the things that go into my hobby, sitting up a midnight the night before a tournie painting knotwork on a tank is not spouse-approved behaviour

Funny, I've made similar observations in the past.

Still working away at updating my Iron Wolves.

I had decided a while back that their bases were just a bit boring, but didn't want to have to completely re-base them.

So, I'm adding some shrubbery (still very much WIP)

Should we start calling you "Rodger" now??

So, bases sculpted and undercoated. They look a bit crap right now. Hopefully that will improve after a wash and some tinkering...

Too much glare in the photo to give them a fair viewing.

It's alive!

Again!



Really must get some more complete photos of the Iron Wolves... But in the meantime, I have started work on a small Dark Angels army for my nephew. Will be mainly just the Dark Vengeance minis, with the power armour characters replaced with these Terminator characters instead...



Lightning Claw guy will be a Belial stand-in (so the DV set is a legal Battleforged list), and the other is a Librarian.

Only minor converting here... Swapped the wing badge on the Captain's torso for a shield, as the wing got in the way of the Lightning Claw arm. And the Librarian has some cabling added on the hood for his psychic hood, and the book added to make it obvious.

Something very satisfying about subtle kitbashing.

A little more work on my nephew's marines.



Aside from the characters, they're just about bog standard DV guys... I swapped the storm bolter arm from the chainfist termie with one of the 2 clone guys, to avoid having two completely identical models in a 5-man squad.

It feels a little weird to be not converting anything, but the aim here was to be as quick and inexpensive as possible...

And while we're here - Test colour scheme:



Again, quick is the name of the game. Undercoat spray of red, basecoat orange, pick out the dark bits with grey, metal bits with boltgun metal, and bone bits with bone, and then a wash with Army Painter's 'I Can't Believe It's Not Devlan Mud' wash. Eyes with Scorpion Green (although they've washed out a little in the pic... they're brighter IRL).

They're ultimately just be orange Dark Angels, as they still have all of the Dark Angels iconography on them. I'm thinking of calling them the Angels Clementine ...

Busting out the putty to revisit some sculpts I started a while back...





Very WIP, obviously...

Ooh nice stuff.

What are you sculpting?

Now with 100% more ears. And enhanced jaw, for extra... uh... jawness.

A couple of Orks, one for a personal project, and one for an idea that still needs a little fleshing out...

And a little more...


And with added chin, and eyeballs...

Making progress... yesss...

And some more...

Coming along quite nicely insaniak. Very dynamic pose even without arms.

I realize I'm a bit late on the uptake with this thread but I was checking out your Heroquest minis in the gallery and ended up here. So yeah I really like your thunderwolves for the Iron Wolf guys. Like I said a bit late to the party but they are very cool for what it's worth!

Some more rushed army work...

Nice to see you back in the swing of things.

Still somewhat sporadic at the moment, and rather basic stuff happening right now... But hoping to have time to get back into the slightly more complex projects once the current couple are out of the way.

Rushed work is looking good to me so far

A little more progress... Although at some point I appear to have switched orange paints, so I'm going to have to go back and redo the armour on the first 5 guys...

Couldn't help but chuckle at that a bit. My whole Mantis Warrior army is one continuous example of a never defined, every changing interpretation of green.

Yeah, if it was a bigger army, I probably wouldn't care as much... But for such a small force, it kind of stands out.
