Dragonfather Rising

As promised, here are some pics of the finished steam-powered undead. Ain't they cute?
Up next for these guys is to paint the lich lord himself. And there is a seether and Deathjack clawing towards the primer (well Deathjack is just making tonnes of noise inside his box). The seether has a defiler face ready (as I am not too keen on the one he had prior).
Up next: Mr. Huggy, daemon prince of the Black Legion...
Be well, and beware of bears (they have big teeth and claws!)

Just a Couple Things...

Firstly, an armored sentinel. Just because.

And second, the medusa.

More tomorrow....

Until next time,

Proudly Irregular

Welcome back, hope your journey was exciting...
These plucky chaps are an experiment with NMM, well not really. I decided to build and paint some chaos terminators, but I had no idea what color scheme to throw at them.
I was thinking Black Legion, blacks and oranges invading my vision. As the winds of magic fused bitz together it had to be.
I don't play CSM, and no codex of that flavor sit on my shelf, so it wasn't until after that I realized where the inspiration came from. The cover of the CSM codex, utterly devoid of metallics. I didn't much care for all that brass anyway.

In other news, a very distinguished magazine has given me a nod. Those wikkid hobbyists over in Sheffield have a really good magazine, which is free to download here, which I recommend each of you look at (no just my bit). It is kind of odd, being way over here in my igloo (aka Canada), and being one of the esteemed Sheffield Irregulars. It is an honor to say the least.
Back o your regularly scheduled internet browsing,
Ricalope.

Some Steam Power

The steam-powered undead have not been left idle. Levi (my leviathan) is finished (see).
I has realized that helljacks are more fun to paint than assemble...




As I am planning for an Asphixious force, the Cankerworm was an essential, (and so cute too!)

I will have finished pictures of him in the next Cryx post...
My scarlock, who I shall name Valis, needed a bit more....mech.
I just love the pose on this guy.
Well, until next time I feel like being in public, be well andsuch.

Back to the Guard

After a long absence, ricalopia has returned (for good or ill). But, I do return with finished medics! Jus a little squad of three medics with their three veteran bodyguards to ride around in the Charion.
I figure they could beqeueath some "feel no pain" (eternal worrior?) to some lucky squad...


I call this a Claymore.





Come get some....







And with "that which is left over", I also put together a little medusa.





Well, that is one down on the blog post backlog...until the warp clears,
Be well (and stay away from angry rhinos).

Space Elf on Giant Lizard (WIP)

I finally dragged the giant lizard out from the bitz box along with some elf and eldar stuff to make a Dragon Prince for my exodites.
The first step; planning and the base. I rounded up a bunch of wood elf, high elf and eldar bitz to make the chair and rider. Sometimes I feel neurotic, sitting for hours digging in a box (which reminds me of my old lego box) fussing and swearing over a mini.
Yeah....the base is made from layers of plasticard. To keep things looking "eldar", all the lines are curved, nothing should be parallel or straight.
Awww, isn't he the cutest lil munster evar?
One piece at a time things are fitted, filed and refitted until things start to work.
Here is a close-up of the imminent Dragon Prince himself, based upon a guardian body (with shoulder pads removed) and high elf dragon rider arms and legs. Adding a brightlance to his axe, it turns it into a halberd of futuristic proportions.
The chair.
Here he is almost ready for the third coat of putty. Oddly, the putty was most needed on joins the were supposed to be joined, the converted rider only needed a belt.
I hope you like him, until the next time,
Ricalope.

Charon: Finished

It has been a while since my last post...sorry about that. I blame the Eisenhorn trilogy.
But, more importantly, Charon has been finished just in time for the Road Warrior monthly challenge over at Sheffield Irregulars. I am endeavoring to enter each month, it provides me with the necessity to finish at least one project a month, or a least a bit of focus project-wise.
After working on this project I realized that I need to build a triage centre, with stretchers, medical equipment and some wounded. As I am planning to build a modular trench-table, this mini-diorama will be incorporated into one of the sections.
But first i must finish the projects on the table; fester and the medic squad.
Until next time, be well.
Ricalope.
