and you are set... would be a shame to replace that head...

looks like cool gasmasks, are they Forgeworld I guess? In any case yeah, his head is not chaos enough. I don't really like his ears and hair, and the features are a big oversized, but I'll wait to get it to see... in any case if I don't want to cut away the whole thing I can just scratchbuild stuff around the mouth or partially wrap his head up.

Above sat on the top of his head, you could even paint a red skull effect on it as well.

No need to worry a bit of GS some lanky greasy looking hair hanging down a scar or 2 and then the raised gas masked perfect.

Hell I might buy one myself and do it

those gasmasks are just commad squad bitz iirc...

You will win mate I have not finished a comp to date

Chaos pitfighter ratling! Amazing!

Have we finally found a challenger capable of defeating my pitslaves in the arena? I always liked Neil101's idea of having some sort of Dakka based pitfighting championship. I am going to have to get Abominus painted up sharpish so he can face this new ratling threat!

..probably because you get distracted by things like making psycho halfling conversions...

So true so tru ………

Ok i have an actual idea for this

Im thinking along the lines of an AdMech Combat Program, to measure the efficiency and capability of servitors/robots.

now that vit would be some unique attempt... more like a trianing room... or like the x-men´s danger room then?

tho they are constantly sold out... if this is a matter of a must have... i could send you a letter of some of these...

Looks like some nice progress is happening =D

Unfortunately I'm gonna have to let you know merlin that I wont be participating in this comp, got other modeling projects to do =( sorry

First progress, just so you guys know i'm still alive, and still in!
These pictures are definately work in progress, as so far I only have an arena. There will be a floor below this one with an illegal gambling den and a bar in it. (at least thats the plan so far)
Let me know what you guys think ey!







Shoot me, burn me, whatever... just don't be silent!!!!

Cool! I love the brickwork.

Where did you get the fences from?

now that looks already like a cool concept!!! the barbed wire fence pieces ontop of the walls... very cool... and doing it in a pentagram shape! cool... will it be a sandy floor or tiles there too? during my research i stumbled upon some similar ideas...

by the way... MrMerlin... are we supposed to do a terrain for a table or is a more diorama appoach also possible? the latter i am currently working at...

Diorama is okay too Vik...
The bottom of the pit will be sand or sawdust to easily clean up all then blood.
I'm not sure on the barb wire fencing yet... Maybe i'll use sprue to build a dome shape adorned with spikes a la Thunderdome. It'll happen as it happens...
The bar below will be the most work, but it will have to be done... A gambling den with a fighting pit, i can necro-pocalypse that i think...

the bar is the only thing i have yet to see... as i can´t imagine that myself atm...
tho the wirefence is good looking... i now wanna see that thunderdome... just for nostalgia^^

and you just gave me a nice idea for my own needs^^

really cool! and seeing those barbed fences, I regret throwing away all my plastic armymen "terrain"

Army-men fences indeed!
DArnit Vik... Now i will have to make a Thunder-Dome, just to see if it will work. The bar will come out fine i think... It'll be an abandoned one anyways as is all my terrain...
It will be the first building with a set interiour though... hrm... or perhaps it will be modular...
Choices choices... grmbl...

More tonight probably... for now work becons

well... since maus is making such good looking wip pics to show here i finally came around to shoo one of my own work...

still very early... so i don´t take offence if you don´t see the same as me in the thing^^




it is an arena ...will be mostly metal clad walls and floor... and hopefully i can show you tomorrow who will battle within...

Ah sci-fi roman theatre
Love it Vik!

thanks maus... the floor is in need of more tiles still and i hope i can later on add some sort of audience platforms to the corners...

Vik that foundation is perfect, I love that shape! Are you going to make it diaramic and keep it semicircle, or make it more terrain and full circle that?

nope it will be more a diorama... you, the spectator sees only from the hlaf of the scene inside the fighting pit... a bit like the second new SW movie where obi wan, padme and anakin get chained up and attacked by those brutes... only... no real brutes either^^

NICE! thats how I would have done it, and I cant waite to see your version!

@Maus: I use the 'burn the c**p out of some pipe cleaners' method for barbed wire. Doesn't have actual barbs on it... but quantity and cheapness, yes.

@Vic: you had me excited until you mentioned second SW movie... *thinking thunderdome and everything will be all better*

lol... just because i mention or quote from a movie doens´t mean i like said movie... after all i can quote from books i think are stoopid too

and the prequells should be erased from history in my not so humble opinion

Very nice work MauS and Vik! I like both your concepts a lot, can't wait to see how everything turns out!
@Vik: Terrain for a table or a diorama.... I'm perfectly fine with both!
@Two Spartan: Sorry to hear that....
@VitXVII: That sounds awesome! Wips please!!
