Leviathan Reinforcement Drop: Terror of Vardenghast, is set to launch on Feb 1st, introducing brand new cards for the Tyranid faction and new game features.
I've been a little quiet lately, but that's because I've been getting this monstrosity prepared for printing. The voices of the Warp have spoken and they demand a vessel. Not just any vessel but a 40k scale Warmaster Iconoclast Titan. Yes, I have gone quite insane.
Does something this large even count as a "miniature" anymore?
I bought the first of the #CiaphasCain books on audiobook and as a relative newbie to #Warhammer40k I like that it gives more of a ground level look at the world.
It's also funny to me that chuds in the 40k fandom I have encountered through the genral tabletop community are very "No girls allowed" but the main unit in these books is a mixed gender unit.
Knight Tyrant Complete!
Weather finally cooperated enough to allow for varnishing of 'Sardonic Feculence.' All that was left to do was to apply some Blood for the Blood God and Nurgle's Rot technical paints to achieve a suitably blood/pus-filled look.
Next on the painting desk: 'Slaughter's Serenity,' my Khorne Knight-Castigator. 'Death of Duty' is short! @warhammer40k@Bluesheep
I'm still new to the #Warhammer40k setting but it seems obvious that being "good" isn't really an option in that world, so Rogue Trader penalizing that path feels narratively consistent; a key feature rather than a design flaw. (I think Inquisitor Martyr handled it pretty well, too.)
I find #Shadowrun similarly challenging, though not quite as extreme, thanks to runners being mercenaries for hire. It's also what makes #SubversionRPG an interesting alternative.
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.
2024 gaming backlog! No.1 - Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
A brilliantly fun shooter/hack and slash that is elevated massively by its absolute adoration of the source material. Making you have to fight to regain health is a fantastic choice!
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.
Some closer views of the front end of the Raider Gunship conversion.
The burst-cannon turret retains Tau markings on the gun, but Dark Eldar markings on the turret. This shows that they are not meant to be together, but have been made to work.
The added skull detail on the front is there because it fitted on nicely.
The megaphone addition is for instilling dread in their enemies. Perhaps playing "Ride of the Valkyries" or something.
More views around the outside of the Predator tank conversion.
From the front... You do not want to see this thing coming towards you.
In my mind, the driver sees though the added headlights and they move like eyes, seeing over the dozer-blade.
At the rear, you can see a section of spare track, and the ducted exhausts.
For this Nob I wanted to create an ork that was the least "comic relief" I could.
In addition to a slight re-posing and modifications to the weapons, I also bulked up the body with some epoxy putty: add a blob to each existing muscle and smooth it in.
I also opened the jaw wider. This left only one tooth and a lip ring. Ol' one toof was born.
The boss pole also reflects this.
Then add a touch of blood from the last person that laughed.
