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.

Return to Mordheim

Time to revisit my favourite of all of Games Workshop's settings: Mordheim. This time I'm building multiple small warbands, a display backdrop, scenery, the works. Much, much more 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...

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 1

My new project is the biggest one I've ever taken on: a complete Space Wolves army for 40k. For the first time I'm working with all new kits with minimal conversions and aiming for a rules-legal Battleforged army for 9th edition 40k. 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:

Hekatoncheires' complete collection

Incredibly, I've cleared my project backlog. Now seems as good a time as any to take a look back at nearly 3 years of modelmaking (has it been that long!?). Here's a group shot of all the models I made and painted in that time, with closeups 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.

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.

Age of Sigmar Moon Aelves part 2

Dropping an update on my #28magchallenge entry. Two specialised units of Moon Aelves and their leader are assembled and ready for a closeup.

Age of Sigmar Moon Aelves for #28magchallenge

The Bad Moon is not the only strange celestial body that orbits the Mortal Realms. As the Idoneth come from the depths of the sea, the Moon Aelves descend from the wandering moon Celine, walking through the air as though totally weightless. Like the Idoneth raid the land for mortal souls, the Moon Aelves come for the breaths of mortals, capturing them in silver phials or clouding cold silver mirrors with them. Of course last breaths are desirable above all...

WIPs – What's Hek Up To?

???

Been a little while since I posted a complete project so I'm gonna do something I haven't done for a while and drop an update with some WIPs. Here's what's on my desk right now...

Mordheim Hired Swords

Happy 2019! I'm following with interest the Mordheim 2019 project initiated by Echoes of Imperium. For me, this year is gonna be less Mordheim-ish after I finished a few warbands last year. Nonetheless I couldn't help but feel swept along in the current of 2019 excitement so I put together a couple of one-off kitbashes to start off the new year.

#Kitbashember Bonus: Necron Immortal

#Kitbashember was so fun, here's one final bonus conversion while I'm in the mood for Necrons: a Necron Immortal.

#Kitbashember Necrons roundup

With the start of December, #Kitbashember is over and done with. I've started painting the Necrons I made so here's a WIP group photo.

#Kitbashember 27-30 Necron Prince

Here's my final #Kitbashember build, the Necron leader himself, Prince Nakhtnebtepnefer.

#Kitbashember 24-27 Necron Ibis Warrior

A burly Necron brawler for #Kitbashember. What's a Necron Ibis Warrior? Let's say it counts as a Lychguard, which- according to Games Workshop- "are the wardens of the nobility, said to be utterly dedicated to their charges. While most Necrons wear a suit of living metal, the Lychguard wear huge suits of ancient armour."

#Kitbashember 21-24 Necron Monolith

Today's #Kitbashember prompt is "Sneaky/Carrier". I chose to interperet "Carrier" as a personnel carrier, although I've seen other amazing kitbashes taking it to mean an equipment-carrying trooper. So what's a Necron's preferred transport? A sneaky portal-bearing Monolith of course...

#Kitbashember 18-21 Necron Lammassu

Another slot I almost skipped, #Kitbashember 18-21 is "Slave / Ally". I repurposed an old abandoned conversion to produce something new that doesn't really exist in the lore, a 40k Lammassu.

#Kitbashember 15-18 Necron Flayed One

Today's #Kitbashember slot "Psycho/Feral" for Necrons has just got to be a Flayed One! This one is designed to look like he's nestled inside an entire corpse...
