IG crunchy bar, the snack that might shoot back nice work cant wait to see it with a bit of colour and on its scenic base

Obviously you guys failed the men in black challenge this is a nice guy who is rescuing the poor helpless guardsman from his lifetime of servitude to the false emperor. Just because he has bad breath no one should call him chaotic.

Really cool conversion. I never thought using a forgefiend would wwork as a heldrake but it looks really cool. And i really like how you added the mechanical arms to the wings. This connects the organic wings really well the the highly non-organic body.

Why not add bloody bitz and gore between his teeth just to say: "Munch munch. Your arm was tasty little fleshbag."

Don't tell me he removed his arm to stop the spread of his infection

Funny guys!

He was already wounded fighting for the false emperor , this friendly dragon is just giving him a lift to the M.A.S.H. Unit. And science there is lots of shooting going on it might be safer to ride INSIDE than out

I know they say look for a silver lining, but you really are squinting at this

That is Theo for you

I leave for a little while and you get busy again. Ha. Nice helforgedrakefiend thing you have going there. I haven't seen either model up close yet but they look huge.

Shotguns arrived quite some time ago, thank you. Also thank you for dropping a couple surprises in there. You'll see them on a terrain piece soon.

Wow, Sorry I have been absent for a while...life you know. I do have some progress to show soon! Exciting stuff! Stay tuned!

And Skalk, glad you got the package finally!

Not much of an update though

in before lord of skulls is being posted for next model here

Yeah LDD, it was supposed to mainly be inspiration for me to actually post something...and it worked!

Emperor Bacon, I'm not sure what that post meant....over my head I guess.

Anyway! Got some more done on the My Little Commissar, next thing will be the Hat, and then the coat.




And I also broke out the paints the other day and have started on my Skulltaker.

Still a long ways to go, but at least there is some paint on it!




I have some other things going on, but nothing has been getting much attention I'm afraid.

Hopefully I'll be able to get my butt in gear soon.

Thanks for stopping by,
RSJake

Now thats an update nice work on the Commissar pony cant wait to see how the hat and coat fits.

Nice paint job thats a lot of skulls to paint.

Inspiration if you find any pleas share

well... there is the lord of the skulls!

and i love the dashing hairdo of the pony (punny) commissar!

You're capturing an impressive amount of character in that pony, great job!

Scary faced Pony!

oooooooh she looks great love how she looks right now and about the lord of skulls just serch it on GW and get exited jake since i bet you will convert this one to the death

Thanks everyone!

Oddly enough, I was just looking at the Lord of skulls before I logged on to here this morning!

If you could field that thing in regular games, I might go for it, I have never played Apoc, and really have no plans to. Regular games take too long as it is!

Oh, hell, I might get one anyway....

Apoc games as the original book said are made for a time of fun and likely an overnighter with plenty of pizzas and drink

What are the stats for that pony? It should at very least cause Fear, have A 2, and +1 A on charge.

Fantastic work Jake! I bet all those skulls make a lot of noise when he walks

*coughshappyfourthofjulycoughs*

Wow, seams I haven't done much in a while. But I have been working on stuff....just nothing I'm ready to show yet.

We just moved. About 2 weeks ago, and most of my stuff is still packed away. I have been COMPLETELY unmotivated to unpack or even find my sculpting tools.

But the new place is a 3 story duplex with a garage, and a HUGE work area for me! I am really excited about the place! And the view! You should see it! Amazing view of a farming valley, and the mountains. So peaceful! I am really happy here. I will get my butt in gear soon, and show off my progress on the My Little Commissar. I promise! Just going to be a while.

So, no pictures this time, soon I hope. Just wanted to let anyone who is still following this blog to know I haven't died yet, and I'll be back with you shortly....I hope.

RSJake

Great to see you alive and kicking Jake

eagerly awaiting updates.

Great to see your also motivated any chance of some pics of this view then

It's good to hear from you m8, take care!

Yeah, apparently not quite as motivated as I had hoped, or at least, not hobby wise.

So, less than a month after we move...I get laid off at work.

Good news is, I already have a job lined up! It's full time, but temporary, a few months maybe. Hopefully work will pick up by then and I can start working at my old job again. Who knows.

Bad news is, it's out of town, and I'll be gone for 3 weeks at a time.

More bad news, just found out I have cancer on one of my kidneys. It hasn't spread, so I have time to go on a rotation before I have to get it taken out.

More, more bad news...laid off and a temporary job means no insurance. not sure what we're going to do. But my wife is an amazing woman, and she has been keeping my spirits up. I am not sure what I would do without her. I don't mean to lay all this on you guys, but I need to talk about it. I can't really talk to my friends, because word might get out to my new employer, and they might decide they don't want to take the risk in hiring me. Who knows, but I'm keeping it kind of close to the vest.

But just to keep this from being a complete downer....Update Pics!

My Little Commissar! Still some stuff to do, got to finish the coat, adn various other accessories, but it's getting there!






Thanks for stopping by,

RSJake

wow...that just well sucks...i know prayers dont mean much to people but its the best i can do for you. the commissar pony looks good man.

Well we as a group are hear for you man no matter good bad and ugly...so if you feel the need top vent in a more private setting shoot me a pm ill respond and we can talk about nothing or what ever is bothering you. but you have some prayers going your way (job and health wise) and tell your wifde thank you from me for trying to make the best of a craptastic hand i been in some pretty rough stuff so i know what its like when you take a step forward and then life just makes you take ten steps back.

hope this helps some.

keep focussed and try not to worry about the bad stuff it will all work itself out

best regards
Bama

Mate I am so sorry to hear that you have been dealt such a crappy hand, I thought things had really turned around for you mate and was on the upside.

Why is it that the good people in life have the hardest of times, I am glad to hear that you have the support of a wonderful loving wife that really does make the difference.

Plus I hope work turns around for you soon and you find something more permanent, I hope the cancer issue is easily sorted mate although I am sure the financial issues are of concern, I guess our NHS ain't that bad after all is there no benefit that you can claim to help with this at least ?

I really hope life turns around for you and remember you have a wonderful family around and us crazy bastards here, so if you need to talk just pm me anytime I will do my best to get back as soon as time issues but here for you mate

Take care and get well fast

Now for the pony look awesome never thought I would say that about a my little pony equivalent but you have captured the look perfectly and combined the 40k world spot on great job mate
