Awesome sculpts and agree with Boss Salvage that the variety of faces for this group is particularly varied. Excellent talent employed in preserving our Rogue Trader past!

Cheers .

It's really cool to see painted versions popping up as well. I always enjoy seeing how people choose to interpret my sculpts, in the way that they paint/convert them... it can even (sometimes) inspire more variety of sculpting too .

I am trying to make a good variety of faces because no one wants an army of clones (apart from the EMPIRE, of course ) , do they?

Good grief, I'm sure people have said it a hundred times but your greenstuffing skills are incredible. Love the style of the captain and a canny wee dog to boot. Nice one!

Thank you .

I hope that he will be made available in good time, through Kickstarter (probably) and Macrocosm Miniatures .

He's the first of the next batch and next up, will be the Colonel .

I just ran across this thread and have to give out some respect for the immense work you're showing here!

I dont know why but your vehicles make me think of a Neo-Geo shooting game which had these kinda chibi looking tanks.

Keep on letting that squat flag fly!

Was the game "Metal Slug"? That had some cool chibi-looking tanks .

I have no plans to put down the Squat flag just yet .

Very nice touch(es) on the power fist! Will make for an excellent Easter Egg on the gameboard.

Cheers . I thought about giving him the same sort of shoulder-pads that the Standard Bearer has but then decided that I wanted them to be part of the Standard Bearer's uniform only... I think it has worked OK .

In other news... five Lasgunners today :



Just four more Lasgunner conversions and three more Comms Trooper conversions to go and that is the original list finished . I can't start on those until I get some casts of the previous batch so it looks like I'm having a short sculpting break ...

Yep, that's what I have been trying to do .

All the Sgt's and Officers are unique but there are Lasgunners that have one unique sculpt and then two additional head-swaps (on casts of the original) for variety. That way, I can get through the sculpting quicker and not need to sculpt so many bodies.

I have seven original Lasgunners with a total of 19 variations... so that should be plenty for any army .

The last three sculpts for this project have now been finished ... three Comms-Troopers:



Once I have repaired the feet, they'll be packed up and sent off for casting... THEN... I guess I need to continue painting them all .

Here's a link to a lovely collage :

That's a very small comms kit! But I guess they are very small Dorfs, so it fits.

The Squats are better at engineering than guard so they can achieve the same results with smaller kit. Also, I based this comms-kit, more on modern infantry comms than WH40k stuff... and a massive pack doesn't tend to work well on the modern battlefield.

The good thing is that the headset is on there so the pack could always be snipped off and replaced with a giant on if anyone wants to take the time to convert them .

Cheers .

I've had the latest batch of casts back now :



They've been washed, cleaned-up and based but I just have a few bits to repair and the barrels to drill before I can paint them .

Also, I've sent of the last batch of minis for casting so they'll be sorted soon .

It's been quiet here... mostly because I've done very little sculpting recently... so in a bid to change things, I decided to have a bit of fun and convert a miniature... and it's going well (converted and partly painted) but I want to keep it secret until it's finished.

However, while I was converting the "secret" miniature, I ended up with some extra putty and decided to make a stand in for ME in the army. This will count as an Astra Militarum Advisor (Air Force) :

Yes, the long painting war will continue for as long as we keep breathing.

Great little homage to yourself there.
