Hi all,
After the postive encouragement from my chaos dwarf log it was suggested I post pics of the other non CD minis I'm working on here... so here it is.
First up I'm working on a Soul Drinkers army for 40k. The fluff mentions they are an orbital strike force so every mini in the army will have means of deepstriking.
These are still WIP, some more thatn others but most need a least a little more work.
first up heres some tac marines with a scratch built pod
heres wip of the 2nd tac pod
a couple of dreads with a wip dread pod
2 of the terminators
wip terminator commander and jump pack commander
finally, heres the first mini from my SST arachnids ( I've bought loads of all 3 factions).
I really should concentrate on one army at a time but I can't help it.
Great work! are those scratch built drop pods I see?
yeah thats 3 built so far, i need 1 more marine one and one more dread.
these were built from card but I'm gonna try and build the next one from balsa.
I've just finished this mini, I think forum member Roll Jordan may recognise it...
nice purple How much sst stuff you have??I like the bugs
lots and lots of it kera. I bought loads of it up when my local store reduced it and I've been snapping up bargains on ebay ever since.
theres still a few bugs I dont have but I have so much SST to get through I'm in no hurry right now to find them.
I'm currently keeping my eyes open for a Skyhook retrieval boat. Mongoose only did a limited run in resin at a whopping £50. luckily the galoob toy is the same size so if I can find one I'll paint one of those up instead.
Good conversion and a damned fine painting level as well as a good paint scheme. You could possibly save some time by getting some Kasrkin, which have similar style armour, if I'm not mistaken. Might also be a little cheaper...
This stuff rocks, man! Keep it coming.
Conversion opportunity AND cheaper! Good Lord how I envy you! That is so much AWESOMENESS!
Wow, loving your Harakoni warhawks. I have been waiting to see how well the Pig Iron heads mix with Cadian bodies, and your samples have shown they go quite well. This may be the answer for my Iceworld themed guard...
Paint schemes are great so far, looking forward to see more Starship Toopers..
At first, I wasn't sure if those titans were scratchbuilt, but about that Rhino, are you 100% sure you made it yourself? It's exactly the same lol. Kudos, excellent job! Ever thought of making these as commissions? Where abouts in the world are you? Only, if postage/picking them up would be easy, I'd ask you to make some (for a reasonable price), assuming I have some money. VERY well done. I am most impressed.
Well, the WIp's prove it, but it's still a fine compliment for me to be hard-pressed to see a difference. Well, it was only hypotehtical, but theoretically, how much would you charge for a predator? Assuming it were to be picked up or what-have-you...
Yeah, i was going to ask that as my next question: where did you get the materials, can you provide some instructions and templates/dimensions, please? Thanks. It'd be much appreciated. Have you tried with a predator yet?
Thanks for the templates. I assume it fully explains how to create it and the dimensions of the card (including thickness)?
Excellent stuff Starscream. I may very well have to try out some of those templates (especially the imperial navy craft)
*bows* Starscream, we are not worthy!
I will have to look into making a few of those... but have so much other stuff to finish first.
Thanks for the link!
wow its so big!!! so are you planing on to do battle damage to it too Star screen
what are the color your going to paint it??
starscream could you please post a link or the templates themselves please as ive always wanted to get a thunderhawk.thanks
Awesome work on all this stuff! Well done.
Looking good. I was wondering how you managed all the detail in the panels etc, then realised they're 40K building sections, right?
What do you mean by the lascannon wings?
(P.S. This isn't as sleek as starscream
)
Have you tried attaching things to hold the nut glued on? E.G. glue it on again, then GS over the edges and "top" (technically bottom) of it...
Might help. Also, will you add a few pieces of insinia to the front? Painted on will look cool, but it's quite busy at the rear and not so much at the front...
