See the beast

Had a few extra hours today, and got to work on the skin. I wanted it really bright, kind of seethrough, with some pale blues and purple. Turned out to be rather difficult to photograph though.

Knight Titans inbound

DreamForge-Games just released a new pic of their 15 mm leviathan - got a whole host of these inbound. Really looking forward to getting my hands on them, aren't they just amazing. Have to figure out small conversions, to make them a bit more Gothic looking.
The small chap on the side is a 28 mm trooper - and I was worried they would be too small...............................

Small painting update

Got a bit  more grime/nuances worked into the metal. A bit concerned I might have made it a bit too bright now, I think I'll wait for some more colors before I decide, but any way it should be pretty easy to fix with a bit of washing. Also toyed with the idea of working a bit of purple into the metal, but I'm not sure any more.

Quite a few times in the past I've considered getting some of HiTech miniatures models, haven't gotten around to it yet though. But I think I might add this fellow to my Herakli at some point, really cool stuff. And as I think I said earlier, I don't mind my Herakli looking different.

It aint much......

...but it's a start. Feeling the mojo returning and started painting up the Herakli. I also, per suggestion, added two small cogs to the gun arm - to make the big one move, you see.

New conversion parts...loads of them!

Well seeing those new huge marine models made me happy. Lots of people already hate them - I think they look awesome - I mean look at the size of those things, look at the load of conversion parts, I cannot wait to get my hands on those. I'll be putting my praetorians on pause till I get a hold of those legs, that's for sure.
But also on their own part they are cool in my book, and I could see them appear in my Iron Ghost army - I could easily make them fit the fluff.

All the bodywork done

The praetorian has now rolled off the assemblyline and is ready for the paintshop.

On the road again

After quite a pause due to holidays and loads of great family time, I'm back in the hobby room working on the herakli. Pretty much done now, most bits and tubing added, quite darkcore and evil looking IMO - like it to be honest. Scary in the way a weaponized monster should be.

Stabilized

We cannot, of cause, have our bioconstruct driving the uneven dirt of strange planets without stabilizing him some, might put of his aim it could - yes? So I've added some pneumatics to the rather rich abdomen to keep him straight. Also tightened the six-pack some by adding a thin mix of milliput and water.

An Evil Chainfist

Got the chainfist grafted onto the newly grown pink flesh and fresh nerve ends, and I do think it looks kind of evil. Sure should deal out some pain if some enemy scum should come too close. Or perhaps I should let it count as a chainaxe on his S5 T6 W3 badass - have a nice day.

Fingerprinting.........

Have been venturing even further into sculpting land - yes it's still quite simple, but for me it's still kind of rather new and difficult. Really funny this sculpting work, but yawser, do I  have a lot to learn.
I added some abdominal muscles and a bit of wetware for the big guy - thanks to Dave Taylor for the great tutorial, check it out here: http://davetaylorminiatures.blogspot.dk/2013/05/is-it-time-to-fight.html
