Mordheim Tileans Redux

Back to Mordheim, with an update to my Tileans warband, including new models and some refinements to the existing crew. Additionally, I've added a couple of scratch-built bits of scenery to my Mordheim setup. Pics and more below the jump.

Deathrattle Gravelords on Parade: part 2

Welcome to part 2, and the completion of the Host of Hazurbanipal IV! In part 1, I focused on the earlier part of the dynasty. The monarchs of that time are identifiable by their winged helmets and long robes. Over time, these would fall out of fashion - chainmail would be replaced with round scale mail, and pointed or stalked helmets would become the norm. Let's look at the later dynasty, which contains mostly new models...

Deathrattle Gravelords on Parade: part 1

My Deathrattle-only Soulblight Gravelords army is the most complete "real army" in my collection. With the release of some new skeleton sculpts this year, I decided to revisit it and get it all painted up to finally enter the Armies on Parade competition. They're now complete, and I'll cover them over two posts (welcome to part 1)...

Mordheim Hired Sword: Warlock

 

A one-off non-warband model for Mordheim - this Warlock is a Hired Sword who can tag along with anyone who'll pay for his services (apart from the Witch Hunters who want him dead). This was a fun kitbash with a mix of kits from throughout the last 20 years, including one very very old head.

Necropolis Ascended Undead

I recently read the rules for Necropolis for the first time, and was inspired by its grim vision of a dark fantasy world of undead. I love rules for building a warband, so I dug into Necropolis's versatile list of undead characters and was inspired to build a hulking Ascended Undead. In fact the enthusiasm for making something really grim and gribbly caught me, and I bashed this monstrosity together over the course of about two consecutive days. More photos and WIP below the jump...

Necron Overlord

 

Soon after finishing the rest of the Necron group project, I finally managed to source the pieces for an Overlord kitbash I had planned. Process and tons more pic below the jump...

Salamanders Space Marine

A one-off project and a study in rendering materials. This is a little one-off experiment in a non-conventional depiction of a Space Marine. Pics and process below the jump.

The Wreck of the Saint Erasmus

 

Finally a finished project to show off! I started a small Cities of Sigmar force last year with the release of the box set, and here's the first thing ready to blog about. Read on below the jump for more about the Wreck of the Saint Erasmus.

Throne Of Blood

Blasting back into blogging with the ferocity of a tank-mounted daemon. I hope this smashbashed Blades of Khorne Herald of Khorne on Blood Throne will make up for my long absence.

Beasts of Chaos update - new kitbashes and Folk Horrors

I've been adding to one of my favourite running projects, my Beasts of Chaos gang. Now I've completed the second unit of Ungors and added a Smashbash monster and some fantastic new metal sculpts from Gardens of Hecate and Andrew May Meridian Miniatures. More pics below the jump.

Beasts of Chaos Ungors

 

I'm picking up a project I started last year - some truly wretched Beasts of Chaos. The goal was always to make two ten-strong units of Ungors with accompanying heroes and a Herdstone. This month I'm working on finishing that second Ungor unit, with a few extra curveball conversions. Plenty more pictures and a deep dive into the process below the jump...

Soulblight Army - Converted Grave Guard

Continuing my skeleton-heavy Soulblight army, here's a unit of converted Grave Guard. Details about the conversion process below the jump.

Skeleton Soulblight Gravelords Army

This year's big project is a Soulblight Gravelords army for Age of Sigmar that's heavy on the skeletons. If you've been following me on Instagram, you'll have seen all my work in progress pictures on there. It's been a while since I posted something on this blog, so here's a bumper post of completed skeleton units of all types. Lots more pics below the jump...

Beasts of Chaos Tree of Woe (Herdstone)

 

A centerpiece for my Beasts of Chaos project, and the first piece of terrain I've worked on! More pics and background below the jump...

New Necrons

One of my favourite projects is the Necron warband I made for #Kitbashember 2018. In fact I enjoyed making them so much that after making something for each of the #Kitbashember prompts I went right ahead and made another model. At the time I even had a couple more ideas that I never got round to, and finally I've found the time and the right bits to make them work. Here's some new Necrons.

Primaris Space Wolves part 2: Redemptor Dreadnought

The first two units of my Primaris Space Wolves army for 40k are complete. There's a lot to get through so they're getting split into two posts. In this one I'm gonna show you the completed Redemptor Dreadnought. More below the jump.

Single day scratchbuild for #onedayinq28th challenge: a #turnip28 trooper

Shout out to @kitbashcat on Instagram who arranged a one-day #inq28 conversion challenge titled #OneDayInq28th. Basically build and paint a converted model from scratch without planning in one day. A lot of work! But good fun. More pictures of my first foray into the world of #Turnip28 below the jump:

Tutorial - Painting Moon Aelf Silver

Several people were interested in my painting process for the weathered silver armour on the Moon Aelves I built for the #28magchallenge last year. I finally got round to painting the last Aelf of the group so here's (at long last) a breakdown of the process.

The Primogenitor – Terminator Hulk

Once again, Iron Sleet is invigorating the Inq28 scene with a new scenario, The Primogenitor. I was inspired to make an existential space horror piece to patrol the endless corridors of the space hulk.

WIPs – What's Hek Up To in Late 2019?

It's been a busy year for my hobby desk! I've gotten full into the hobby butterfly style and have several things on the go at once, so here's what's in the pipeline that I'm planning to finish before the end of the year.
