What chapter Raslin?

None. My marines are part of a traitor system that defected from the imperium, but isn't chaos. The color scheme is green and silver mainly. I'll post some pictures of the dread when its done, I've already basecoated everything but the weapons.

Isn't chaos yet

Lets play ?What's on Sharp's Desk? The painting on My Big Mek's Looted Wagon is coming along and I'm finally revisiting some Fantasy Chaos Units so I can change up my Warriors list with the new book. Those Nurgle Chaos Ogres I sculpted are finally getting some paint...

Nurgle chaos ogres? You mean an entire family of Hutts?

Dreadnought is fully based, woot I will post pics tomorrow, after washing

I think my head just exploded after seeing those ogres.

Finished the dread... Came out great for the most part. The wash on the green is iffy, but stuff happens. Pics tomorrow

Can't wait to see the finished wagon Sharp, it looks fantastic already.

Here's some stuff. First, my work on Vulkan He'stan so far: I'm looking for parts to use as his spear... I'll make my own if I need to, but what do you all think of this as the spearhead? Moving on, here's a multipurpose rhino chassis: Everything's magnetic, so it'll be able to be a Rhino, Razorback, Whirlwind, or Predator. Last, just a little peek at the Vindicator I've started on: Pretty much everything still needs work, just thought I'd share.

Is it just me or does that head for Vulkan just not seem epic enough?

I'm inclined to agree with you. I want a Maximus-style helmet like what the Red Corsairs chapter from Forgeworld has, but I can't find anything too good to replace it. The one that's there now is like 90% accurate to his art, too

Did I mention I may have seen a super-secret preview resin for the official Vulkan mini a while back? It was pretty swish, but the main thing that struck me was under all his big cloak and salamanders junk his armour was pretty standard, which was a bit disappointing tbh.

So, I've been assembling Space Marines. I forgot how much fun it was to assemble models which you never have before; after building legions of guardsmen, it can get quite old. But the interesting conversions and poses which the command squad sprue and assault marines causes my mind seethe with possibility. And I decided to dremmel down the Ultramarines symbols on a Chaplain Cassius model that I got on sale a while back and give him a new arm to lead my Death Company. In short: A change of pace is good.

Instead of finishing off my poor old swordknights, who have now been halfpainted for more that six months, I got stuck into painting some of my new stuff. I present Professor Viktor Pendrake, adventuring scholar: Crappy photos due to it being night time. He was an absolute blast to paint. Due to him not being a regular member of the Cygnaran military, I could do to things differently. I went to some effort to make the armour all battered and worn and I think it came out quite well. It's certainly a nice change from painting blue and white armour. I kept the same brown coat though. I'm pleased with the brown and like painting it and it ties him better to the force as a whole. The other main difference is that I did a bit of OSL on the Orgoth sword and I'm very happy with the way it came out. For my first attempt, I'm pretty pleased. I'll get some better shots of him tomorrow.

Hah! dude the glow from that sword is incredible! awesome job.

that's pretty sweet asher

I'm looking for parts to use as his spear... I'll make my own if I need to, but what do you all think of this as the spearhead? its nice style wise but it's almost a little small given how thick the shaft is, I'd say if it was just a little bigger it'd be spot on.

Here's some scales liberally smattered on the back of Vulkan's cloak. I'm going to need to add about twice as much as what's on there before I'm done with the cloak, but I think it's looking alright. I'm considering just going over the whole cloak with some really watered down elmers glue before I paint in the hopes that it'll help these little globs of greenstuff stick better to the cape, because I'm worried that they might come off through handling. You can also see the Gauntlet of the Forge I've been working on. I've gone pretty simple with it. After digging through my older edition marine parts, I found a power fist that looked like a nice fit on power armor (rather than terminator armor) and an old flamer bit. I hacked the flamer up some and stuck it on the back of the glove, and with a bit of twisted wire 'attached' it to the mechanisms of the arm. Here's more pictures of it, as well as the shoulderpad I think I'm going to use on that arm: I may consider sculpting tiny flames onto the back of the gauntlet, but it's such a small area I might be better off painting it. Anyway, what do you guys think?

Highly badass. Highly.

Jam: If I sent you a Chimera box and some monies could you make it have pretty lights like that rhino? (Or just write a tutorial?)

Who needs a tutorial? Did you take any technical classes in school? Even if you didn't, all you need to know how to do is tell the positive end of a battery terminal from the negative, and how to drill holes in plastic (and then put stuff in those holes).

I might do something over the winter break, but I can't make any promises.

Even if you didn't, all you need to know how to do is tell the positive end of a battery terminal from the negative, and how to drill holes in plastic (and then put stuff in those holes). I not absolutely nothing about electrics. How do I connect the wires? Where do I even get the supplies?

So I'm going to start a serious conversion project for warhammer fantasy. I want a mounted vampire with a lance, and I looked around at GW options, and the Empire general kit looked best. Now I have to actually do it, and I'm looking for general tips. The general kit comes with one snap-together horse (with Karl Franz written on each hindleg, and Sigmar written on each foreleg, along with some empire iconography), one horse-rider (with a twin-tailed comet kneeplate, and skull iconography on the breastplate), several heads I won't use, a lance I will use (with laurels), a shield-arm, and some shields I plan to switch out for a Grave Guard or Skeleton Warrior shield, although they aren't identical. I'm planning to use a ghoul head for the head, and use the faceplate from the general kid to obscure the mouth some so I instead have kind of a Darth Revan look going, with a bald head and obscured mouth, painted grayish-pink. The tough part is going to be getting the horse to look right, because vampire lords don't generally run around with Sigmar's name on their horse's barding. What's the best way to deal with it? For reference, the writing (for both "Karl Franz" and "Sigmar") is in raised lettering, on a raised scroll running under different iconography. Above Karl Franz is a skull moon, and above Sigmar is a twin-tailed comet. The comet definitely has to go or be obscured somehow, because it's so Empire-y. The skull moon thing I've never seen anywhere, and I'm probably okay leaving it there and just painting it off-white. Unless some fluffmonger can point out where it's used in Empire iconography, I might even steal it for use on banners in my VC army. Anyway! That's my dilemma. I think I could glom on green stuff, and then file it down, but it'll make the plates I do that on look pretty clunky, I think. Thanks in advance for tips and tricks.
