I present to you:

'Home Away From Home'

Spoiler:

**shingouki**

Looks brilliant mate,i'm well impressed.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!

Look at that! Not only are there 2 updates in one day!!!

But I also hit double digits in my pages! That's awesome!

But I couldn't do that without my followers. So thank you all, so much for the support.

Now lets get to the minis!

As promised, I got some spray primer.

And with it I primed up my ADL for detail and vandalizing. Cuz... let's face it, the Chem-Dogs will tag that with reckless abandon.

But for now it looks downright pretty.

Now! How many of you remember this guy from page 2?

Well, my buddy Boggs got himself a night little smattering of paint last evening.

And lookit that, he's still wearing the awful orange he was assigned.

Poor guy. That was the rule he chose to follow?

I also made some progress on Tanis!

Look at that! She's almost presentable!

Still having some issues with lubricant making the painting a bit difficulty. And this is after scrubbing with a toothbrush, warm water, and dish soap for fifteen minutes.

That's all I've got for you guys. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.

Thank you very much Shingouki!

**torealis**

I don't get it... is he resting?

**wolfmaster1234**

I need to get myself a defense line. It will be nice to see yours when its finished. Nice work on everything else!

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

torealis: Yes and no. Its for the current League Contest; Accommodation.

My thinking is that since there is a lot of chaos on the battlefield, your accommodation is what you can make quick, fast and in a hurry. So he made himself a little shelter to stay in. That's all.

wolfmaster1234: ADL is gonna keep my squishy troopers from eat hot death early in the fight.

**Nashbashem**

Some great stuff here

My fav at the moment is your little diorama of the guy in his shelter

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Nash! There you are!

I'm glad you like the mini dio. I'm rather proud of it myself.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!

Look kids! I have an ADL with some paint on it!

So the first thing I did is look at the model. I thought ADLs were metal, but they actually resemble belted stone. So with that in mind I painted them all up like this.

Including the long pieces.

I also decided that I wanted the framing metal to be copper in color.

And I painted the Aquila gold.

And then washed it in Reikland Fleshshade.

Then I washed all the stone parts in Nuln Oil.

Then I turned it around and picked out some of the other metal details in Leadbelcher.

Then I turned my sights towards Tanis and repainted her sword black.

Then I cut some tape like so.

And wrapped it like so.-

So I could paint a little bit of yellow on it like this for all those Necromunda lovers out there.

Then, I.... may or may not have take this bad boy....

And primed it.

And then I finally finished basing all the things I've completed thus far.

Nice right?

That's all I've got for you guys. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.

Copper looks good on ADL.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

wolfmaster1234: I think copper looks good in general, but maybe that's because I'm from Arizona and copper is big here.

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!

I started to work on the tank, but then I stopped and thought, I should really wait until I can magnetize it. So... I need one of my beautiful followers to point out a good tutorial on magnetizing a leman russ.

But while I look that up, I decided that I should at least make the tank driver.

Allow me to introduce you all to Bash.

I'm debating cutting off his left hand and turning it around to make it look like some obscene gesture. Thoughts?

Then, I worked on Boggs some more.

I painted his arms and touched up on his helmet and backpack.

Then, I peeled the tape off of Tanis's chainsword. I think it came out real well.

And, I sprayed my brand new squad of females that will be lead by Tanis' sister Kneives (she has not been started yet). They will be played by a squad of Escher Gangers that the wonderful Mecha sent me.

Also in that picture are some extra trappings for the tank to give it that lived in feel.

That's all I've got for you guys. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.

Well reading through your thread, you are definitely an outside the box type of guy. Great work, get's you thinking. Loved your entry in the comp, and like the way you pose thing's, you are trying to tell us a story, it's great. More please.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Hey there Cam!

Thank you very much for taking the time to look through my blog.

I'm a firm believer in narrative story telling and the competition pieces have to have that since I don't have many things to work with or a whole lot of skill with modelling.

As for more, well, I'm working on it. I only model one night a week, on sundays, so I should have some more stuff to post tonight.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!

So, I started trying to magnetize myself a Leman Russ.

I ordered some magnets which came in last week in good time.

And then I scoped out where I wanted to put the magnets.

And glued two into place on each side. (two for extra holding power.

\

Then I took the autocannon turret (the turret I'm least likely to use) and attempted to follow the magnetizing tutorial I found here on Dakka.

I snipped off the pegs.

And then filled the gap with green stuff.

My greenstuff is old and took forever to knead back into a pliable form.

But after drilling the holes I couldn't get the magnets to fit (I don't have a proper sized drill bit, so I attempted to use a screw. That didn't work. So I filled everything in with green stuff and I'll try getting a proper bit this week.

With that being totally botched, I resigned myself to put the treads on the tanks.

And Bash says to hurry up.

That's all I've got for you guys. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.

So cut the hand and just spin it around?

Depends if you have a spare or not.

If I was doing it and had a spare I'd cut flip but also cut down between the 2 fingers and try to space apart. Knowing my luck this would either
A- not work
B - result in my cutting through the entire hand
C - as above but through my hand as well

If it didn't work I could just use the flipped spare

**hk1x1**

Magnetiseing stuff can be great, but I do sometimes find lineing them all up can be a bit tricky,
but I think it's all worth it in the end

.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

That's why I'm practicing on the auttocannons. I'm less likely to use them, but if I can get it to work, then hell yeah!

**MLaw**

Wow, lots of nice conversions in this blog, thanks for keeping it going

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Thank you MLaw

Hope you stick around and see more stuff.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!

So I decided to take a break from my leman russ until such time as I have a proper size drill bit to magnetize it.

So I decided to paint up some of my Escher gangers.

I introduce to you, my Daggers.

The Daggers are Tanis's Sister's group comprised exclusively of ladies from their home of Necromunda who managed to get themselves arrested and sent to Savlar.

I didnt do much painting aside from their hair and some of their skin.

But I did take some of this here cork.

And cut it up to fill the gaps in the slotta bases and apply some detail that will become rock later.

That's all I've got for you guys. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.

Always loved the Eschers, I know I know but hey the girl with the stubber was awesome.

Anyways looking good, nice dramatic hair going on. Looking forward to this.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

If I can scrounge up enough I might make a platoon of them.

**xXWeaponPrimeXx**

Hello Everybody, my name is xXWeaponPrimeXx and welcome back to my P&M Blog!

I got the correct size drill bit!

And with the green stuff crammed in the autocannon turret nice and cured I was able to drill a nice hole clear through it. Which I then stuff a couple of magnets in.

And it works! Quite well. Its not loose or off kilter as far as I can tell.

With that done, I began drilling out all the sponson guns.

Then I rolled up some green stuff.

And crammed it all up in the back of each sponson while make sure it didn't interfere with the rotation.

Then I drilled a small portion out of the back of each gun. And happily glued a magnet into place in each one.

So then, after spraying the tank driver. I looked at the hand.

There had been some discussion hear about cutting it and flipping it around to be insulting. But the wrist position is all off. So all that ended up happening was me separating the fingers a bit.

Oh yeah, I totally finished the chassis as well.

That's all I've got for you guys this time. As always, thoughts, comments and criticism are welcome.
