My camera has been out of action for a while but I've been busy. I've been catching up on my painting queue after getting hold of army painter dip.



here is my warbike mob

Deffkoptas- there are another 5 to paint but i don't have flying bases for them yet

My interpretation of Wazzdakka Gutzmek. this is scratchbuilt from an AOBR warboss and a SM bike plus skulls from a chaos terminator lord with green stuff flames.

My new painboy from the very old blood axe warboss. I love this model but had no place for him in my waargh so he had a plasticard bionik arm built.

and finaly a Nobz mob from AOBR using dip.
there are also five gorkamorka trukks, lootas, burnas, kommandos, 4 boyz mobs and a scratchbuilt battlewagon painted and waiting for photos. As i say, I've been busy.

This evenings little endevour. 1 scratch built tree man
Armetures

and green stuff

and some other wood elf paint jobs

Nice work on the treeman and I like those cloaks

Very impressed with the treeman sculpts!

Agree, treeman sculptures are fantastic.
Very nice work!

Just built this as a death co dreadnought for my Blood Angels. I'll add painted pictures later.

great googely moogely.. J'approve

did you have to hand-sculpt those shin plates? Brown-stuff?

no, the shins and sarcophagus came from the ravenwing bike set. many good bitz in that set!

Loving the scracthbuilt Dread - I've often wondered how they would turn out and based off your photos they are impressive.

Whats sized 'tubes' did you use for the Dreadnought arms, legs and pelvis?
Any suggestions / comments from your experience for someone who might be considering scracthbuilding the Dreadnought in future?

the plasticard i used was a little thick so left large ridges. I used the patern for the torso and shoulders then gave up on it for legs and arms. put in any cables as you go, they are too fiddly to get in afterwards. If you have the dreadnought kit this is a very easy way to use up the extra weapons options.
arms are 6mm, 8mm and 10mm tubing, legs are a mix of the same
here it is painted up.

Just a few bits from the painting table
Legion of the Damned



Commander Dante


Dark Elf

mantic ghouls

How do the mantic models compare in size to citadel ones? Are those ghouls the same scale as say an IG trooper or an empire soldier?

The Legion look good - have you tried them in a game yet?

Let me just check the sprue I received yesterday.
They are smaller, but I believe they are larger than the GW VC undead ghoul creatures.

They look to be about the same size as the WF English redcoats.

Its been quite a while since i've done anything 40k, I've painted 3-4 armies worth of square bases but a friend asked me if i could build him a nurgle thunderhawk. heres what it looks like
