Snikrot nearing completion

Further work on my count as Snikrot.  The painting is done, just need the base...

Snikrot + Paint

I finally got to painting, and I started off with Snikrot.  Overall I am not happy with him.

Basing help

I haven't gotten around to starting Snikrot and the kommandos yet, Snikrot will be done first as I want him to stand out - though, 25 or 40mm base for him? With this in mind and and needing help on the basing.  As you might have guessed I am going for an arid desert themed basing scheme, the problem I have is that the static grass I own is for the more wet and living look.

I have had a look at the GW stuff, not really up close though, but I don't think it suits my needs.  I need a sort of static grass that looks like it might belong in a desert.  So pale in colour, maybe kinda tall (looking knee hight on a mini) and fits the desert theme.  Any ideas?

Kommandos WIP

So, I have been working on 6 Kommandos, including Snikrot and here is what I have come up with.  I am mostly proud, and think they'll look better with paint and a base on them.

I have shrunk the images down, so for larger images click on them.

Kitbash Snikrot

After proxying a squad of kommandos I enjoyed the use of them, and of course snikrot was part of them.  I am a fan of doing this hobby on the cheap, and trying out some skills I decided to kitbash my own Snikrot.  Overall I am happy with him, I think he looks suitably brutal but also feel as though something is missing.  I can't spot it, so I am asking the intermawebs.  Any thoughts on what me might be missing?

Complete Deffkopta

And thus... it is done.  I have even entered it into the LO Contest.  Woooo!

Deffkopta nearing completion

So, I have been working on a model over the weekend.  I think I went a bit overboard with the wear and tear, the wings especially.  I know the pictures aren't very good, I just wanted some quick ones and once the base is complete I'll get better ones, so they'll have to do.

Necromunda Gang ptII

Managed to get a hold of a box of Empire Militia today and set about making the rest of my gang.  Overall I am rather happy with them, except for the pistol on the right hand juvie.  It just looks too much like a bolt pistol with some pipes on.  The other one is a cut down lasgun from an old guard kit.

You will also notice that I have gone with a bearded theme. ;)  One reason being it was only the decent heads I had to hand, and I like beards. :D  I am undecided on the bases and colours.  The bases I did consider doing a small pool of liquid with some industrial bits on the base.

Oh, and I have made a choice of ork bases (no pictures), going with a desert colour.

Necromunda Gang

Started work on my Necromunda gang, three guys so far.  A heavy stubber and two lasguns.  They still need a little bit of work, especially the last one as you can see the divide between the two halves.  The heavy stubber conversion I am unsure of, it works but could be better.

Big Mek Conversion

So, this is the newest big mek to my army.  I liked the idea of giving him a blow torch, so I shortened a burner and gave him a special spanner.  The rest is just bitz and pieces from different ork kits, cut up and glued on.  I quite like it, I think it looks suitably orky and a huge mismatch.

Da Green Tide Takes to Da Skyz!

So a semi busy week, using what time I got at my desk I managed to put together another painted ork:

Blowing the dust off...

Oh wow, it has been a while.  A long while since I touched this thing.  I could list multiple excuses and reasons but honestly, it's because I was lazy and didn't feel like painting.  I have started to game more (and having more boardgame fun too! :D )

On that note, I was about to open up this thread again.  I have painted two models!  YES, TWO!  First off we have the Empire Explorer that was painted for the Secret Santa.  It was a random model and one I wanted to be a bit different.  It was fun to paint, I chose quite bright colours as this guy is a nice proud fellow.
