Really digging the recyc-terrain. Great use of old crap!

Checked out the terrain sprue you get all these bits off and it looks like it'll be infinitely useful, so i'll defo be picking a few up.

Love all your conversion work as well. Both the 40k and MEdge stuff.

Thanks

Meanwhile, getting in some early morning model building while the house is quiet...

Also, more terrain. There's a surprise

Some really cool builds and conversions on this thread, been following for a while and have to say offers up some nice ideas.

Can I ask where are the heads from in the above build that look like resin ? Just I really love the look.

Thanks!

The heads - the one on the left is from a Karist Heavy Weapon Trooper and the one on the right is from a Karist Angel Keeper.

Thanks for that I thought they were from the Maelsroms range but wasn’t sure due to the colour change in plastic.

Have you tried mixing any of the Star Wars legion miniatures in, they look like they might match in quite well with this.

Looking at the link I see they are resin witch explains the colour change then ha ha I should pay closer attention

Awesome stuff Insaniak, love the army pic and that pagoda(sp)is stunning

Ah computer fans. A wonderful bit of scenery fodder. I've got a few kicking around, myself, that i've been wanting to use.

Best parts in life are free - and well painted! Cool!

Thanks, all!


New conversions, from this week's Comm Guild article - playing with the new resin Chieftain models.

And here's another thing I'm tinkering with...

MEnergy Drink. So tasty you’ll explode.

Awesome looking vending machine. Nice work on the chieftain too. Just goes to show you don’t need a super special 14 option character if the monopole isn’t able to be easily hacked.

I love those vending machines

Cheers, guys


Working on a set of fronts for the vending machines...

Ha! I love the Recycled Food one- from Judge Dredd (the real one, with Stallone, although the remake wasn't bad) with Rob Schneider hiding in the recycled food droid saying 'Eat recycled food, it's good for the environment and not bad for you!'

Don't you have a Tau dude to paint up first?

Chieftans all look good.

Nice vending machines there, particularly the subtle curve on the one. Added fonts are pretty cool.

@Meer_Cat calling that travesty the real one is just.......ugh

- I actually quite enjoy the Stallone Dredd, although it's easier if you think of it as a sequel to Demolition Man rather than a Dredd movie. Having said that, I really need to check out the Urban version...

I love deadlines. It's that feeling of adrenaline when you look at the calendar and realise what day it is...

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

Do I get a fizzy drink, or a fragmentation grenade? It's always so hard to choose...

Still WIP, but getting closer. I think the text on the Diabetizade machine front needs to be bigger.

The Urban version of Dredd is also a terrific action movie- I just miss the 80's/early 90's is all

I think the vending machines are good as is- the script is perfect for that understated, medical look. I missed that the first one was a munitions selling machine the first time through- well played!

Ok, I HAVE to reply, I am an absolute Dredd nutcase, progs galore, even have the bubble-gum from the 2 80's editions, several 1208's, beach towel (McMahon) & love Kennedy doing the artwork....do not get me started:-) Now the 1st Dredd visually was impressive but that's where it ended. Stallone was crap,, story was worse...taking his helmet off? Oh please. OK, Mean machine & the ABC warrior were excellent.... there's that. Watched it opening night in Leister Square London & my friend stole the poster from the bus stop for me & we counted down the days to opening night. Honestly, Urban was excellent as Dredd in the 2nd one. OK, I gotta stop..

I actually really wanted to talk about the vending machines, they looked quite good in the build stage but they went to a whole new level once I saw them completed. You did an excellent job, well done! I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks!

Crazy good. Love them.

I wish there was a Frag-o-matic in my neighborhood. I love little bits like this - keep it up!

They turned out really great, "recycled food, it's better than nothing" lol, now there's an advertising campaign:-)

Every battlefield needs vending machines. Wonder how long before the Departmento Munitorum weaponises the Xeno-be-Gone machines.

I love the Soylent Blue machine. One of my favorite Sci-fi movies of that period.

Thanks, guys. Had to limit myself to the three designs per machine variant, or I would have easily burnt up the entire week just creating different product fronts... It's just too much fun!

Guzzl has to be my favorite- all are great. When you go around for some more ideas, how about "Brain-o Zombie Remover- just one spritz and they're out of your hair!" ?


Terrific pieces!

The vending machines are great.
