Custom Skullmaster on Juggernaught

Just an update, but I reposed the rider and gave him a sword! I'm pleased with this one compared to the "surfer" motif I originally posed... that and it hides the terrible sins I had to do to the model's hips to get this pose working.

First Attempt At Decals (nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)

First Attempt At Decals

Okay, so that's a bit of a lie. I've done decals before but it was longer than I care to admit ago. Anyway, they process: decal in water, water on model, decal to model, allow to dry, MicroSol on decal, smooth decal, allow to dry (repeat if needed), matte medium on and around decal, shades to blend and make grungy. I think it turned out great and wasn't too much fuss.

Holiday War Dog Party!

@warhammer40k

Happy Slaaneshmas 40k fans! This Holiday season I've been working on a mini-pack of Moirax-pattern War Dogs. These are held together with blu-tac right now, but I'm happy with the results. I need to use clay to smooth out the basing but they're ready to prime when the weather cooperates.

Like @illumrial said in another reply - these are from the "PiperMakes" Patreon. I printed out the individual files and built the kit. Most stuff is on ball joints so its posability is very high.

Cheeky-Pose Coldstar Commander (nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)

Cheeky-Pose Coldstar Commander

Took a small break from the Chaos Knights to build and pose this Coldstar Commander for my buddy's T'au Empire army. He offers peace with one hand and destruction with the other. Please don't ask me what it's armed with, I don't think even GW really knows what T'au guns look like.

Big Robots Need Big Axes

Haven't posted anything in a bit, because I was taking a break to keep from burning out while brainstorming what to do with the Cerastus Castigator. I wanted it to be Khorne-themed but the Tempest Blade just didn't work for that IMHO... then it clicked, smash-axe!

Sardonic Feculence Stands Tall!

More progress on the Nurgle Knight Tyrant! I won't finish it completely tonight, but he will be far enough along to attend Tanksgiving tomorrow at the local GW. Still to do: trim on the upper carapace; gun housing stuff; so, so much oozy goo; and hide more Nurglings around the frame!

Two More War Dogs Join the Pack!

Another Executioner and a Brigand assembled and table-ready. I have a few more bits and bobs, small details really, to take care of before I'm satisfied with them. The heads are just held in by friction at this time. But I have a game scheduled tomorrow so these two might be hitting the table anyway!

@twotonebax
Paint your "underlayers" - as seen here it's bare metal & rust.
Varnish the model and let that dry for 24+ hours.
Then get some hairspray and salt, "prime" the entire model with a thick coat of hairspray; while it's still wet sprinkle salt all over it so the salt sticks to the hairspray. Let dry for an hour.
Paint the model whatever color you want the model to be when done.
Once that's dry using an old toothbrush and hot water, rub away at the salt, it'll dissolve and come loose.

Nurgle Knight Coming Together (nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com)

Nurgle Knight Coming Together

I buckled down and did more green-stuff work today. I think the Knight Tyrant is almost ready for priming (we'll see if the weather agrees). I also tried the PVA + superglue trick to make some 'fleshy' bits to blend the tentacles to the chassis, I'll need to see it primed to find out how well that worked.

War Dog Executioner Progress

Had the chance to sit down today to get some progress done on the War Dogs... and 2 hours later I am not sure where the time went but hey, the Executioner is fully assembled and all the base coats are down so that's good right?

Trying Something New

So for the Knight Tyrant I've put together a Rhino to act as a scenic base. The plan is to paint it as a Dark Angels tank (My buddy plays Dark Angels). So I'm putting down an initial metallic layer with rusting and then I plan to try the hairspray & salt chipping method.

@setsneedtofeed
The Court of the Mortive Expanse arose when a Knight world was isolate upon the opening of the Great Rift. Warp-time-shenanigans resulted in them defending themselves alone for a century or more. When contact was reestablished with the Imperium, instead of sending the requested aid, the Dark Angels chapter arrived demanding supplies and when they didn't immediately comply they were declared renegades. Already strained to the breaking point, the Court finally succumbed to Chaos.

My desk is a mess from all the plastic shavings, but the next four War Dogs are all assembled! Hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow and I can begin priming them.

I did, in fact, add more spikes on the shoulder pads.

I mean GW does have a way with "creatively tributing" the designs of their models to other franchises.

Some more War Dogs join the hunting pack.

This time a pair of War Dog Executioners. The Chaos Rhino kit is a treasure trove of little conversion bits to make an Imperial kit suitably spiky.

@itsJoelle @Pepperoni_Nipps
Space Marines are by far the best seller for GW so they make many more boxes of them. As the "poster child" faction it's used in nearly all promotional materials. So the expectation from corporate is that anyone can see an ad, go down to GW and pick-up a Space Marine.
