Sculpted sandbag and marble bases

Here are a few more base designs for you.

The sandbag bases were especially new and fun to create!  I used Apoxy sculpt, brown stuff, and a variety of plasticard sheets and polystyrene tubing.  The ammo strips were the biggest pain to make.  I tried to come up with binoculars that were somewhat interesting.

The few of these available to me have been put to good use on a variety of projects, several of which I have posted here to the blog.  I really want the bases to tell a story all by themselves.

The marble bases have been referred to by others as our "signature" bases, so I thought I would put in a set here.  As usual, it is sheets of sculpey that have been baked and carved.  Marble is always a blast to paint, no matter what color it is :-)

Hopefully those of you who have been checking out the blog frequently are finding these little tidbits on bases useful!

Converted Death Cult Assassins for Adepticon

Here's another batch of Death Cult Assassins that I had to create for the tournament Demonhunter army.  I used Dark Eldar wyches, altering the weapons and giving them cloaks, etc.  They certainly kill a lot of things when they get in contact with them, no matter what they might be.  Necrons, Dark Eldar critters, Space Wolves, you name it :-)

When combined with the Arco flagellants, crusaders and a wild card 'demonhost', things got intersting!  Mass amounts of missile fire directed at them made them less happy, though.

I have a few WIP images so you could check out the process...

Tainted World Eaters land raider

OK, one more tainted World Eaters vehicle!  This was quite a project, with all the extra things tacked on, such as the giant icon!  There were several Forgeworld items included on this piece.
