I left the bottom open so I can store stuff inside, or hide models in it, during games

that comment towards that nice pinup girl makes room for some confusing remarks I stick to just sniggering if it is all the same to you

and I didn´t mention it before... but that table looks very good... simple geometric shapes...but the whole looks consistent and very sound!

After reading your comment and thinking about it for a second, I just had a pretty good laugh to myself as well.

The terrain is all kinds of boxy, which is something I would normally try to avoid, but it works. It's cohesive with a definite man made theme.


This one is less boxy, but since it features Kilroy I had to make it. The idea that "Kilroy was here" spanned time and space from WWII to the distant future was too good to pass up.

lol.... i didn´t knew the meaning of kilroy... but used it many times myself^^... and thus we learn^^

My Father was a Navy man and he used to doodle Kilroy as far back as I can remember. I've drawn him since I was child.

A few years back I found out about the origin and was quite amused. There was even a story about misunderstandings about the meaning of it, and legends of a Super Trooper were rumored to have circulated.

James Kilroy and Leroy Jenkins are making it into my next army roster...

Seeing your board made up makes me wish I had gotten the terrain on kickstarter. But the printouts might just be the way to go too.

Half asleep, I spent 3 hours kitbashing this



into this



It's the right shape and style I had envisioned.

Unfortunately, It too big for a Veer-myn Driller, who are supposed to be nimble land torpedos, and lacks the guns on all sides of a Veer-myn Tunneler. Nice looking model though.

funny you come up with that build all of a sudden... my wife made some scratchbuilt tank tracks for me out of these


to make later on just the same build...funny little world^^

If you have a pic of that I would like to see it.

will do so tomorrow...! it is mostly needlework and thread and then those pellets...

I have a much smaller, 1 man driller, in the works. I hope to have it together, and get some pics of it uploaded, tonight.

It's a smaller version of this design, tweaked to cover up the blank spots. The Veer-Myn will be pleased.

a smaller one is quite a good idea... and... forgot to take that pic

New and improved Veer-Myn Driller



Just got in my Enforcer Army box, so I assembled the Captain and a squad leader for size comparison.

have you seen shasozenlabi´s work on these models?

and cute looking drill^^

What's a shasozenlabi ?

In all seriousness I googled his name and did a quick search on DakkaDakka and the only thing it linked back to was this thread and you and I mentioned him.

Just noticed him while he was commenting on your P&M Blog

http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/user/2326-shasolenzabi.html

yup... that´s the man^^... and he has the new range of minis too... maybe you find them interesting...^^

Hmmm, thinking of maybe doing some terrain work with the materials I have left at hand. Liking the on the cheap builds here

Thanks !!

I was thumbing through your gallery and I like your scratch built vehicles.

Noticed the Thousand Sons Enforcers as well

Well, they are not actually related to Thousand Suns, but the concept is they are the Null/blanks based force, Full Ice Sanction.

Warpath Corporation Strider made from Starship Troopers Chickenhawk Marauder Armor, next to some Enforcers for size comparison.



The Multilaser looks a bit more like a 40K multilaser than the Warpath one, but I have yet to find a source of affordable Warpath Multilasers.

Built another Veer-myn Tunneler.



This one is a half scale version of the Fat Dragon Games Hollow Earth Expedition Model, that I adjusted the color. The 1 hour photo that I had print the model color corrected it, do it now has a paint scheme that is neither original or the way I planned it.

It's sleek and has the appearance it go fast, but I'm not thrilled about the overall length. The top piece was a bit fiddly to assemble in that scale, and difficult to reinforce. The majority of the model is mounted to foam core, making it about as durable as the average tabletop model. The drill hollow, but is reinforced with strips on both the interior and exterior. I've dropped it from a 3ft height a dozen times to test the durability. You would have to deliberately have to damage it, as it easily survives the hazards of conventional use and falling off a gaming table.

if the drill would indeed need extra protection then i suggest covering it in PVA... then it can see through everything


the chicken walker however looks weird to my eye... guess i am way too used to the sentinel concept...ohoh^^

The drill is not that fragile, but I will take your suggestion and give it a layer of PVA. I've used PVA for that purpose before and it's always turned out well. It might take the gloss gloss finish and bring it down to more of a satin as well.

Most people son't seem to like the chickenhawks design, but I always did. I would have preferred the Ape Suit over the chickenhawk, but no Ape Suits are currently on the market.

hmmm.... as money seems no issue here (converting starship trooper models...that sure is quite expensive...) then the exoskeletons of maschinen krieger could be of value for you?

when i use PVA for coating it shines quite strong... so a bit of dullcoat might be in order too...

40K Imperial Guard Sentinel $50
Starship Troopers Chickenhawk $12-$20

I bought out a stores surplus of ChickenHawk models on clearance, for a fraction of that.

oh... i didn´t knew that... i thought these models are OOP... and now valuable collectibles...

I've gotten to the point where I refuse to pay retail for any Wargaming miniatures. I'll either buy it at a discount or scratch build it.

It's part of what has drawn me to Warpath. They don't have official models for the vehicles yet, and I've been able to buy the army boxes at a significant discount on Ebay.

Fate of the ForgeStar $45 (65 models + 2 vehicles)
Enforcers Army Set $56 (31 models)

Yeah, based on what I saw of the rules for the vehicles in Warpath Beta, they can use 40k vehicles and get them as "stands in" for their models, Or other minis like my Old Crow collection would work as well.

Pretty much.

The Coporation has Chimera, Hellhound, Lemun Russ, Manticore, and Sentinel equivalents.
The Enforcers have Rhino, Razorback, Predator, Whirlwind, and Sentinel equivalents.
The Marauders have buggy, Battle wagon, and Killa Kan equivalents.

It's rediculously simple to convert between 40K and Warpath
40K Imperial Guard to Warpath Corporation
40K Space Marines to Warpath Enforcers
40K Orks to Warpath Marauders
40K Squats to Warpath Forgefathers

and if you have WFB Skaven Army and you feel like adding guns, flamethrowers, and drills on them, then you have a Veer-myn army.

Pretty much how it looks, Mantic was snooping around and seeing what folks really liked, and the other races they are making seem also to be such blends
