The first noise marine is coming along. I wasn't so sure about the color scheme at first, I like it now. I've still having trouble figuring out how to highlight the purple. The gold is much shinier than it looks in these pics, but I still want to bring it up one more level of highlights. These are the Emperor's Children, they will should be over the top shiny.






Couple more Death Guard terminators in the works...

The basic build is done on this one, now for the green stuff.


I wasn't so sure about the purple, but I'm happy with how the prototype came out.

Excellent work! I missed the last update, not sure how that happened? Current work is great! The conversion is excellent, and the prototype looks sharp and has very clean / distinct lines. The Terminators are what have my eye though... looking forward to seeing what comes next there.

I really love these conversions. You have a talent that surpasses even some of the best hobbyist.

That Noise Marine turned out so well. Better than the official model by far. As always, great work.

Thanks everyone. I have an idea for one of the nurgle termi's I think I'll work on it a bit tonight.

And sorry for the blurry pic of the new noise marine. I thought it was a little blurry last night, but now I realize it is a LOT blurry. :(

It has been far too long since I've updated this blog. I decided not to post anymore pics until I improved my non-existent photography. Here we are a year later and no improvement. Anyway hope you like my latest. No conversion work at all! Haven't do that in a while. It is fully magnetized though. All the pics below are from a single model fiend who can sport any configuration.


Here's my favorite build. Not legal or effective. Four legs, one gun.




More options:

That is a gorgeous model! Paintjob is fantastic!

Some of the plague marines I've finished. I'm pretty happy with them for the most part.










Very unhappy with this guys face, but I love the sore on his leg.

A few close-ups of the Mauler/Forgefiend

My WIP bench. And this doesn't doesn't include the four rhinos I've been messing with.

This is one of the projects I'm putting the most time into right now.

The first two 40k "skull crushers" for my beastman Khorne army. I plan on making 5 or so of these guys eventually. No real piratical use for that many, but I think they will look cool.





I like this guy so far. I need to do more detailing though. Add some skulls or runestones or something.



I repositioned one of the feet to give it a more plodding look rather than the sprinting look of the default poses. It was a lot less work than I thought it would be.




Not so many picks of this guy. Not nearly as interesting without any arms.



Repositioned feet again

Amazing forgefiend. How did you base it up, is that stacked slate? Must have been awkward getting it the right height for the maulerfiend leg. Very nice work.

e; I just looked back and read the whole thread and feth me the plasticard work on your looted wagon is amazing

Thanks. You are very perceptive. It is stacked slate and it took a couple hours of fidgeting and adjusting to get everything exactly right so the feet and one arm seemed to rest naturally one them no matter which set of legs I added.

This will be a dreadknight for my Word Bearers counts as Grey Knight army. The mystical nature of the Word Bearers seems like a perfect match for the Grey Knights psyic powers. I figure I'll mix in some Dark Mechanicum stuff as well. The army will be heavily slanted toward the Inquisitorial henchmen.

First the feet. They still need a little work.


D'ho! I glued the legs into the torso backwards. It's a conversion so I'm sure it will be easier to work with it rather than dig them out and start over. I thought I would have to do a lot of reconstruction on the knee after cutting it apart and gluing it back to bend it, but simply cutting as close to possible to the knee with a sharp exacto and gluing it back worked fine.


Now, to figure out how to merge the demon price with the torso and how the armor plates will go.

Got a bit more work done over the weekend. Still not sure what I want to do with the arms. They definitely need some beefing out. I may just replace one of them with a weapon of some type. Probably a from a forgefiend.

I'm not liking this. The thigh plates make him look too blocky or something.


This I like better, but still not sure.


No head, no arms and no thighs really make it look a lot smaller. I know you really cant tell in the pics, but it seems way smaller.


I really like the head, but not two heads. So I'm thinking I'll put tubes coming out of the DP's eye's and possibly mouth to make it "dormant".

This is where I'm at now. The stance is a little "wobbly" since there is still a lot of blue tack at this point. Not sure if I'm going with or without horns on this head. I really like skull like head with the defiler, but it is a tad to small. IMHO




I'm very happy with the spikey hilt, though I'm sure it would do more damage to the wielder than any foe.


Very happy with the banner so far as well.

This is my Khorne Beastmen themed Demon Prince. My original plan was to take one of the GW minotaur’s and convert it to be a demon prince, but I hate those models especially the muscles in the legs. They go all kinds of random directions, drives me nuts looking at the knee. So I decided to make a demon prince look more like a minotaur and beastman. I’m happy with how it turned out. My one gripe is that it looks too much like a minotaur and not enough like a demon prince. I should have left it a bit more chaosy.


I really should add some sort of beastman glyph to the loin cloth. …and touch up those bone on the base.


…and clean up the edge of the base.


I’m happy with the runes for the most part. They don’t hang from the belt quite naturally, but aside from that I like them.

Now -That- is an Obliterator.

Word Bearer Dreadknight build complete. I may still a some parchments hanging down with "the word" here and there, but I'm ready to start painting.

I painted up some Malifaux guys recently.

The 10 thunders are my main focus. Misaki's boxed set is the only one I've finished so far.


Here are some outcasts Misaki used to be able to take as allies. Two ronin and Hans (middle). I have one ronin half way done to go.


I started work on the spirits of vengeance boxed set.


I may go back and add some fancy scroll work to some of these guys (like the flowers on ronin on the right), I just haven't figured out what to do yet.

Started painting the dreadknight. The color is definitely off it's bit more purplish in RL. This is my fist real attempt to use an airbrush. I'm pretty happy with it.

Making progress on the DK




I'm putting little demon like spots of corruption on all my Word Bearer bases since they like demons so much. Forgot that on this base and had to go back and retro in a couple spots.


Here are the corrupted bases for my first 5 terminators ready to go.


Crusaders! The first of the henchmen portion of the army. Not all that happy with how these guys came out. I'll need to do another batch and put some more effort into them. Next I thing will be some arco-flagilates. It's hard to tell from this shot, but all of the weapons aside from the swords have "power-bits" added.

Word Bearer (GK counts as) termiators.



Storm bolter and a brotherhood banner (IIRC)




Lots of little "oath papers" on all the guys.

The DreadKnight is near completion! I was going to go with a glowy airbrushed power sword, but I really like the black and gold so I'm going with that.




I've started a second one to do some of the ideas I rejected for the first one.

Daaaam, those gk counts as models are looking awesome!
im particually found of the one with the duel swords and tbh all of them are really cool. Also the dreadknight is looking sweet painted up
keep up the awesome

Wow! That's your first Airbrushing!?! Amazing!

An Ork flyer I painted up for my son. Fully magnetized.

Sweet flyer, Bob!

Some excellent work man! I especially love the paint scrapes!
