Killa Kan

Finally got more paint...or anti paint on Klanky, the first of the Kans for the Dread Mob.

Zugzug

So there he is.  Still WIP.  It may look a bit much on the rusted bases, but I figure this one is the bottom of the pile and bought out of 'deep storage' for Orks, which means they found it at the bottom of the trash.

Super Heavy hobby challenge 2016

Hi guys.

Next year Aaron and myself are looking at buying ourselves a Warhound titan each and both constructing a sweet diorama/display to show it off.

I was thinking we could do it as a group challenge if any of you are also keen.

For guidelines I was thinking the following :-

1. Must be a Super Heavy or Gargantuan Creature

2. Must be on a 2ft x 2ft display base (Realm of Battle tile size)

3. Must have some friendly support troops, and at least 1 enemy model

4. Must have some form of terrain included in display

For example, my board will involve a scene in the HH novel Betrayer where the Warhound supporting the World Eaters is advancing with the Astartes. It will have Kharn and his command squad as a secondary feature and also some Ultramarines making their final stand.

And I think Aaron was looking at doing a Nurgle themed Warhound with some Deathguard / Plaguebearers in a swampy shithole.

This is obviously meant as a large, long term project, hence the massive scale, so it may not appeal to all.

Anyway, have a think about it and let us know what you think.

And...done! (except the bases...)

That is it.  My first batch of Grots complete...well except the bases, but I need to collect some stuff for that.  Needless to say it will be on junk piles.

I am very happy with how these guys have turned out.  So much smaller than even a Skaven Clan Rat.  Surely this means my Orks will be even better.

Also the first time we have used my wife's new phone with the light box, and I am very impressed with the quality of the pictures.  She went free for all in the set-ups and the quirky positions are awesome...even if I am bias.

Da boss Grot, or so he finks.

Rest of da skum.

Organised as ever.

More WIP of the Grots

Nearing completion of the little light green freaks.  Very happy with their progress.
Also test greens on the Grots wrangler dude.  I like the difference between the two races.

My narrative for this army is they are initially at the bottom rung of society.  Surviving on the mere scraps from their crashed Rok,  hence the absolute derelict weaponry.

Rust ahoy!

Escalation League - Da Nurdz!

Finally been able to put some paint onto some plastic.  I have been thwarted thus far by humidity and a nasty cough.<queue sympathy>

As usual, I am trying to expand my skill horizon.  These grots have had a black prime, deathworld forest base, biel-tan green wash, and then the skill test.  Rather than dry brush on the next layer, I have attempted to do like highlight stuffs, or whatever its called.  Not getting the recesses, and paint the raised surface.

Anyway, the result is below.  What it has highlighted for me thus far, is these grots are farkin ripped!

Which way do we go?

All those hours doing crossfit seem to be paying off!

Iron Warriors contemptor

Kit bash yeah!

My first attempt at kit bashing stuff!  Yes, it does not look like much, but it is a big shoot arm from a killa kan, with two melee arm drills on it.

FEAR THE ORKSIES.
