The Last of Them?

 Wow, that was a journey.  Almost two sets of Space Hulk terminators all magnetized, converted and sent from the far East of Canada.

 These termies sport the rather fashionable hazard striping accessorized with ample bling and some osl on the power weapons.

 I'm quite happy to see these guys done.  Not only do I think they look cool, but it makes me that much closer to completion on this project (from the minis I have at least).

The second crusader's engines are rumbling...and I think a group shot might be in order.  Until next round!

Harold the Mighty

 Here's the latest Cryxian I've finished up; a scavanger bonejack.  It took me a while to get my hands on him due to ordering problems, but a blighted friend picked him up for me.  Friends are cool.

 I posed him in a "you interrupted my meal" stance.  The meal in question is the Khador arm (they are tastey after all, Cankerworm told me so,) which also provides him with some height.  Flying models should always be taller.

 The scavanger is a nasty piece of work.  It seems to work best along with a pistol wraith, here's why.  The scavanger gets extra damage dice against wounded things, so shoot the target with the wraith, and this little bonejack can even finish off a heavy jack (with a focus or two).

Until next round, watch the skies!

More Black and Red

 Back again with some Flesh Tearers!  Almost done all the terminators (well at the time of writing this I am done the terminators, two more to show!)  The first box is nearly completed.

 I'm a little taken back by the amount and quality of the conversions on the second batch to differentiate all twenty of these guys given the static poses they started in.  Nice job Tristan!

 So...much...bling....

 I love the missile launcher.  IMHO, the sentinel missile launcher is the coolest of all of them, so it gets hazard stripes (although I wanted to write "don't point at face" on it...)

Updates should be imminent, there are many things I should be taking pics of...

...until next round!

Troll with Acid

 If you are wondering why it has been so quiet around here, it is because I've been painting everything in sight (almost).  I am also quite behind on my photographing, which means a backlog of posts!  To start things off; here is Slagg, my slag troll.

 He is similar to the rest of the trolls, except for his stony bits which I made more green than the others to show his acidity.  And, yes, he has a pet snake (I picked up a blister full of them that I got just for the trolls).

Slagg has seen a fair bit of table time, being almost exactly like Sparky (the pyre troll) but one point more and acid (not fire).  He sees less time now that I have a mauler, mostly in Gunnbjorn lists.

GottaCon is less than a month away.....until next round!

Gustius, Hellcannon of Tzeentch

 All hail the magical bird-god!  Some time ago, a large portion of chaos followers came into my possession (and the space-elves flew off elsewhere).  Amid the pile of random plastic and metal was this hefty pewter monstrosity.

 My chaos lord, Tzaanateclis, was very keen to have a hellcannon in his possession so he took his horde into the frozen wastes to seek out the chaos dwarves.  He met them upon the field of battle and as he emerged victorious he demanded a hellcannon made.

 The daemon Gustius was summoned and bound by the dwarves' fell magiks, at the cost of many more lives.  Gustius, and a crew of chaos dwarf engeneers, was gifted to Lord Tzaanateclis.  Appeased, the horde moved on to seek more battles.

 Gustius was painted similar to the rest of the horde, with blues and gold.  Black was used on the majority of the metal to make the steel show brighter.  The steel was also done different to the usual way; boltgun metal, devlan mud wash (lower areas) and thrakka green (upper surfaces).

 The flames and skulls were originally going to glowing blue, then I thought that adding some green would look good after scrolling through blogger.  It turned out well, I think.

 The beasty was already glued to a movement tray, which was a great idea, so I based around where the crew would go.  Chains, a pile of skulls, cork, textured plasticard, and a Khemri banner rounded the whole thing off.

 Of course, no artillery/monster would be complete without the crew, and face it, chaos dwarves are awesome!

Until next round...

Hey Marshal!!

 Here's another dire troll, this time a blitzer.  (I promise to post some non-troll content soon...)  I like the blitzer, it just makes sense to strap a gun on top of a dire troll....stop looking at me like that...

 Most of my trolls still need mossy bits on their bases, but are otherwise done.  This year is the Year of the Troll (as you might have heard earlier) and these blue dudes are getting ready for GottaCon's doubles and team tournaments.

 Marshal gets a blue kilt, like Gunnbjorn's, marking him as part of the shooty kriel. On top, is Doody, with a strip of the same kilt as a scarf.

 I hope you like him...

 Until next round...

Sparky, Troll on Fire

 The pyre troll is an interesting one and arguably the best light beast in the faction.  Whenever I make a troll list I try to include Sparky, and now with the new sculpt out, I might get two.  He's a must against those dirty blighters and Menites.

 I'm not a big fan of the spitting fireball thing, I'll likely use it for a animus token, but I did sculpt extra fire on his hands and shoulders.  In my experience, more fire equals more fun!

 Sparky was painted in the same fashion as the others, with a purple wash on the skin instead of blue and an additional black wash n the metal.  The flames were done green as more of a swamp gas than regular fire (like on Marshal).  The inside mouth was done with a tentacle pink (p3) washed with leviathan, and I'm quite happy with the contrast.

More posts shortly!
Until next round....

Adrock, Fellcaller

 One of the main reasons I picked up trollbloods is their character models, and nothing says trollbloods like a fellcaller!  In case you don't know, a fellcaller is a trollkin hero who inspires his kin and kills his foes by yelling loudly.  (He's also pretty good with his swords).

 The model itself is pretty straight forward, with separate hands and digeridoo, but is packed with details like runes and buckles.  Since this guy is pretty important, he gets a second layer of cork to stand on as well as a snake.

 The red kilts are for the fellcallers (of which I will be collecting all of them), and signifying that they are from Grissel's kriel.

Until next round!

Dr Dre, Superdope Beatmaker

 My blog needs more troll posts, so here's Andre the bomber.

 The bomber isn't just a pretty face.  Someone decided that giving a dire troll explosives was a good idea, and I'm inclined to agree.  In a Gunnbjorn list he gets to drop two high-pow and large aoe hits a turn.

 The blue skintone was done the same as Gunnbjorn.  I started with shadow grey, 50/50 shadow/space wolf mix, blue wash, and more mix.  The pinker hands and belly is a final highlight with watered down elf flesh.  (mmmm....tasty elf flesh...)

 Being a shooty troll, Andre wears a blue tartan.  Painting plaid is slightly easier than diamonds, slightly.

 Being a plastic kit was nice, as the whole thing went together well, and he doesn't fall over and crush things.  There was just the usual troll neck-gap and minor flash.  I also found a pack of snakes who will be sprinkled across the army.

Until next round, be well.

Space Hulk Flesh Tearers - Sanguine Terminator

 Flesh Tearer progress continues with another cool conversion; the Sanguinary Priest.  Like the other medics, he gets a shiny white suit of armour.

 I really like the toolfist....

 I noticed as I was going through the pics that some of them still need heraldry on their hip-guards.  Will fix that soon...

Three more termies are on the bench, box 1 is filling up....until next round!
