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:

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...

#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 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...

#Kitbashember 12-15 Necron Scarab

For November 12-15 the #Kitbashember prompt is "Grenadier / Pet". If you ask me a Necron pet has got to be a scarab. And not a small one...

#Kitbashember 9-12 Necron Canoptek Wraith

This is the conversion that's strayed furthest from the official Necron design. My Canoptek Wraith is a kind of homunculus, here fulfilling the role of Healer in the #Kitbashember list.

#Kitbashember 6-9 Necron Champion

#Kitbashember continues with the prompt "Champion / Priest"...

#Kitbashember 3-6 Necron Destroyer

#Kitbashember continues with days 3-6 "Heavy". I went with a Destroyer for my Necrons. Maybe you can see the Beksiński influence beginning to show...

#Kitbashember 1-3 Necron Trooper

I'm digging #Kitbashember started by @passion.in.person and @chaos_cooltist on Instagram. Here's my first offering, a Necron footsoldier...

Mordheim Beasts of Chaos – done for now

Well I got most of the way through this side project and I realised I've done all I wanted with it. That is: write an all-Beasts Mordheim list and make some cool Beastmen. I've built five of the seven models in the list. I didn't make the magister and second ungor (officially a mutant with cloven hooves). The painting on the completed models is only around 80% done and I'm going to put them aside for now. I might come back to it another time but my neglected Relic Lizardmen are calling out to me.

Mordheim Beasts of Chaos warband

With the renewed buzz around Mordheim and the new Beasts of Chaos release I've taken the opportunity to have a break from painting my Relic Lizardmen and delve back into Mordheim to make something very Chaotic indeed.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 6: Slann

The final addition to my Relic Lizardmen army for now: the very Slann who led their ancestors through the Winding Gate to safety from the end of the Old World. He's looking worse for wear these days.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 5: Salamanders

Some gribbly prehistoric beasts join the Relic Lizardmen, thanks to some vintage Ral Partha models.

AoS Relic Lizardmen Part 4: Skinks

A million years in the hot rainforests of Hysh agreed nicely with the Skinks' fast metabolism. The Lizardman subspecies saw an evolutionary explosion of different forms. Here's six...
