Forgeworld Blood Slaughterer

I did a pair of these vehicles in 2010.  All the articulated joints in the legs presented a huge challenge.  While it made them quite pose able, there was little or no strength in them... at least not enough to bear the massive weight of the bodies. 

So, I put a flying base support under each of them, and took all the weight from the legs.  That allowed me to make the fun movement trays for them!

















And the trays for both miniatures:

World Eaters objective marker

This little project was another fantastic idea by Steve!  One of many really creative and fun concepts he dreamed up to make his armies extra nifty.

I enjoyed painting the icon in the background, using all manner of wild colors together to give it that crazy look of Chaos!

High Marshall Helbrecht

Here's a High Marshall Helbrect I did a few years ago.

Imperial Fists Forgeworld dreadnought

I enjoy painting these Forgeworld chapter specific dreadnoughts.  The iconography looks great, and the armor has some interesting unique shapes.

Here is the Imperial Fists version:

One day project: Scratch built Chaos Dwarf Deathshrieker rocket launcher

When I got the news that everything I had built for our Adepticon team tournament army was invalidated by the new book, I was put in full panic mode.  That is why you have seen the posts about the emergency conversion of the plastic cows into bull centaurs and such!

Yesterday I had a window of about 6 hours to build from scratch a Chaos Dwarf Death shrieker rocket launcher.  These are the results.

I only saw the pictures of the Forgeworld version a few times (and I had forgotten to print out some reference images), so I had to do this from memory, and using whatever materials I had on hand.  Even a paint bottle cap had to do :-)  As I have mentioned, time was a massive issue, so the plastic, scissors, and exacto knives were flying at a furious pace!

If I had more time, I would have made it more elaborate, but I don't even know if I will use this outside of the tournament this year.  Thank goodness for plasticard and polystyrene tubing!

Tales of War Captain Hook

I enjoyed painting this guy.  The details were nice and clean, and there were plenty of them!

Helldorado Kuan Yin

I probably would not surprise you if I said that this piece presented a bit of a challenge to assemble.  Obviously, skinny parts sticking out at all manner of angels make a painter's life less easy than one would like :-)

Here she is..
