Seeing those conversions: you're a bigger madman than I thought.

+1

Head and shoulders seemed ok as a conversion, in 6mm. Then the face from another model!!!  How many of these are you doing?

The Vypers look good too. This is going to look very impressive as an army.

Nice conversion on the Jetbike riders! Looking forward to seeing them painted. Also the Vypers look lovely.

Thanks guys.

Just the one, Fred. They magically duplicate on me, which is great because I'll need around 10 more, I think.

Also, I added a pole. What color should I paint the Wild Riders? Red, because they're Saim-Hann units on loan, or orange because they'll match the rest of my army.

I also started on my Wild Rider conversion. Thoughts? He'll also be getting stabilizing fins and a back pennant. I used the head and sword of a Harlequin, filed off the mask and put on a Chaos Cultist's face on over it.

WHAT!!!!  :o You replaced the face with another. How on earth did you manage that considering the head is smaller than a grain of rice? Love your work.

I'm voting orange.

Although red might be more flavourful, orange and red doesn't look very good together. Visual coherence trumps flavour this time...

Thanks guys.

I finished converting my Jetbike Farseer this week. I removed the Guardian's torso and right arm, and got the Farseer's torso in there as a replacement. I then puttied the robes around what was left of the body and used a staple as the base for the right arm. On that went the Farseer's right hand and spear, and I used a staple again as the haft of the spear.








I only got one night of painting in this week, so the Vypers only got their gems done and their first coat of orange.




I did take one Vyper to completion just to see what it looked like highlighted. The only thing I went back and changed was to add some black in the engine exhaust areas.

Maybe a little crazy, but the minis made me do it!

I finished the orange highlights this week on the Vypers and tidied up the base edges as well. They'll get some seal coats this weekend and maybe some grass tufts along with the Falcon hulls.





I started on the Jetbikes yesterday too, just to get some paint on them for Fall In.

Thanks YPU.

I've been working on the Jetbikes for the last two weeks. Just the orange highlights are left at this point as well as the decals.





I didn't have these ready for Fall In!, but they're going to be getting some paint early next year I think, six custom Night Spinner turrets. I used most of the Forgeworld turret, just replacing the cockpit glass with some from fan-made proxies.



These didn't make it down to Fall In! either but I'm hoping to finish them before the end of the year and EpiComp. They're my Wild Riders, I decided to paint them up in Sunblitz Brotherhood colors.

Thanks Suber.

Aside from 18 Falcon hulls, this is what I managed to paint this past year Epic-wise.





Not a ton, but I had to remodel a bathroom, build a few Christmas presents, and I also built/re-based an Epic Squat army as well. Finishing the 18 Falcon hulls and the Wild Riders are at the top of my list for this year. After that, not sure. I could start on my Guardians or Aspect Warriors, paint some landsknechte for the store, or some Aeronef or Monsterpocalypse that I just picked up. We'll see.
