I have slowly been squirrelling away some old classic Citadel Rogue Trader figures for a venture back into the 41st Millennium with the intention of doing some small scale skirmishing using the RT rules and the original ideas before the whole system went crazy.
I intend doing small ship's crews, Inquisitorial retinues, Necromunda gangs, mercenaries, pirates, salvage crews, single squads etc without going off into 'army' territory.
Another of my recent endeavours has involved collecting the old Citadel Eternal Champion figures to build a Melnibonean army.
One of the spin-offs of this has been that I have acquired a few 'damaged' figures in the process, mainly characters from the range.
They seemed perfect to me to convert into an Eldar pirate crew with a little conversion so I thought that I would start there (as I could not resist messing about with them and a little green stuff) and add in a few old Eldar for good measure.
I will probably convert them too.
;)
Here are some WIP shots of what I am doing with them...
First up are some standard figures that will form part of the crew, not converted (yet!)....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/Eldar%20Crew%20WIP%201%20003_zpswfg5crs5.jpg)
I will do a little bit of work on them, but not too heavy.
This should give an idea of the sort of thing that may happen to them...

(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/Eldar%20Crew%20WIP%201%20015_zpswexmqtho.jpg)
The Eldar on the left is a standard RT figure that had a broken arm.
I simply repaired it and added a an armour plate.
He also received a cloak, as I think this should give them a nice 'buccaneer-like' look.
The one on the right began life as a Melnibonean infantryman, but lost his spear arm for another conversion.
The addition of a few plastic bits from the more recent Eldar sprues (Thanks, weismonsters!) and another GS cloak should make him fit in quite nicely.
I still need to do something to his right leg to finish him off, and hide the scar where his spear used to be...
I am working on a few of the characters from the EC range at the moment as well.
More on those tomorrow.....
-
Looking good,mate. Nice cloaks. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out

These are just the basic fellas of the crew (the redshirts, for want of a better description), I have used some of the EC personalities that were damaged to make more characterful members of the crew, officers and such like.
Here is the first of them, based on an Elric figure, the leader of the armsmen.

Wearing an ancient suit of Scorpion Armour, and armed with plastic weapons from the more recent releases.
I have tried to get a kind of samurai look going on with this fella.
There are a couple more figures that are almost finished.
Piccies when they are done.
-
Looking great so far, I can't wait to see what else you come up with!
-
Looks like an interesting project
-
Great start. ;)
Looking forward to seeing what you do with the next figures. Those melniboneans have a bit of a dark Eldar vibe to them.

As for the Dark Eldar feel...the original idea for Eldar did not have two seperate races, just a reference to some Eldar having a preference and reputation for being a little cold and twisted, hnce the pirates thing.
This is what I am aiming for with these, not specifically 'Dark Eldar' but certainly not nice guys.
;)

Here is a WIP shot of another one.
I see him as one of the bridge crew, maybe even an officer of sorts....

A conversion of the EC Dyvim Tvar sculpt.
He is almost finished, but I do feel the need to do something else, just have not decided what yet.
-
Thats a very nice start Mason, I really like the Corsair Eldar vibe.
I have been looking forward to seeing you get stuck into the RT style warband thing for a few years now, so its great to see it start to materialise.
-
Great stuff there Paul! 8)
I've always loved the RT era Eldar, and I have my own little stash of them for use as a pirate band as well. Any ideas on the paintscheme you'll be using?
Whenever I get to doing up mine, they'll probably be sporting the classic black/grey/blue armour and yellow with black tiger stripes helmets.
I especially like the way you have repaired the broken minis; they already have a lot of character in the metal/green and fit in nicely with the rest.
Will you be using the Ghost Warrior as a regular Guardian?
And how big a warband are you aiming at? I always had the 3rd ed Combat Patrol rules in mind, so somewhere between 10 and 20 individuals.
Apparently you're going full fledged RT, so will there maybe be vehicles as well?
Keep it up mate; you're being all inspirational again... :D
-
Nice greenstuff work! I'm watching with interest- any thread that features a ghost warrior has my attention straight away, I love those old sculpts. Design perfection.

It is at least partially your fault.
Between yourself and a good few others doing all things RT on here, it has pushed me into wanting to dip my toe in too.

I agree, they are some of my favourites too.

Plenty of others on here have inspired me to give this a go, so blame them, not me.
:D
Your questions....
I've always loved the RT era Eldar, and I have my own little stash of them for use as a pirate band as well. Any ideas on the paintscheme you'll be using?
I had a small Eldar army in second edition that had grey armour and crimson detailing, so I will probably do something similar but maybe lighter to make it fresh.
Will you be using the Ghost Warrior as a regular Guardian?
Not sure yet.
I like the idea of of a kind of drone-type that can take a lot of damage.
We shall see....
And how big a warband are you aiming at? I always had the 3rd ed Combat Patrol rules in mind, so somewhere between 10 and 20 individuals.
With these fellas, probably about ten or so.
Other forces may be bigger or smaller, but 20 would be about the largest I will go.
That will be the Iron Claw Space Pirates, I have spent years wanting to paint those.
;)
Apparently you're going full fledged RT, so will there maybe be vehicles as well?
I am hoping to add a vehicle or similoar to each group, but not necessarily at the same time.
I will probably come back to the Eldar one when I see something that catches my eye.
:D

This looks like a really nice project Mason, having discussed it with you it is very good to see it in pictures, especially at this early stage. I really like the cloaks, they're a fantastic flourish. It makes me wish I still had my original 90s orks to create a rival warband. I had a smattering or ork, eldar and Guard 90s models at one time but I don't have anything left from those ranges, sadly. Hence the adage - never get rid of anything!
40K pirates is an inspiring theme though. I know there are ranges of fantasy orc pirates out there, so I am tempted to use those with a few contemporary ork weapons from the GW range. Ork pirates that actually look like pirates could be a must!
-
I was going to do a similar thing ,like Logan's world meets necromunda,squat mining gangs ,slavers,bandits ,cults ,etc.
Never got round to it,bought loads of miniatures though, lol
-
Interesting conversions - the Eternal Champion figures are a good starting point. Cabling and a few minor touches and they're a great match for the RT space elves. Looking forward to seeing these progress.
-
Oh Christ I had a very similar thing in mind to o_o
I am playing RT but using 3rd edition rules, with VDR and creature designer etc :o
Well gents my next battle is Jadeberry Hill and I will try and take photos and do a write up.
I was also planing on using Necromunda for doing a Logans world type thingy too, and Mordheim to.
Keep up the good stuff, top notch by the way!
Glen
-
I love how you cut up those old and really rare figs like you just don't care!
I got myself a squad of these new plastic dark eldar this week to do something similar. Elric the Eldar.
The sprues are really nice.
Squads and gangs are the way to go.

Thanks, axiom.
Your own 40k thread has been most inspirational.
In fact I shall officially blame you too.

Just wait and see the furore when I start chopping up the Melniboneans.
:D
Just finished another one which I will post a piccie of at the weekend.
;)
-
This project is tremendously cool, and it has started in the best way ever possible. Looking forward to see progress! :)

Progress.....?
Ok, here is the last of the Eldar that I have been messing about with (for now, at least)....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/Eldar%20Crew%20WIP%201%20033_zpsbufd1jtm.jpg)
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/Eldar%20Crew%20WIP%201%20037_zpsvelmnigu.jpg)
Based on the EC Corum figure, this will be either a Farseer or the Ship's Captain, undecided as yet.
Now I just need to go back and tidy up the bits that the photos have revealed and finish off the green stuff work on the others....
-
Ehm, that last picture makes it look like a penis on a stick.....makes me wonder why I have to notice something like that <sigh>
And that droid thingie in the very first post, is a Ghost Warrior? I have one of those, never knew what it was called.
-
Nice work, noticed something which may be of some use for you, mantic sell separate heads and arms etc for their dark elf proxies which might be useful

It is indeed.
Lovely old sculpts and quite hard to find these days.

Thanks for the tip, Karl.
That may well come in handy.
:D

Great stuff apart from the cock

The 'cock' shall be removed tomorrow!

(It really did not not occur to me when looking at it that it may be mistaken for an Eldar cock......
Some people, eh...?
::) ;)).
-
OK, I think that I have finished with the green stuff.
Here are some piccies of the Explorator Crew as they are now...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/47414baa-5ea4-4926-bf3b-0a1a44deea27_zpsty6gfibz.jpg)
Some close-ups.
Beginning with two of the Warriors.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/0206b983-bbf2-4eda-b87f-10925f142822_zpsyvw2ybrg.jpg)

As both of them are obviously from the same dollie I thought it would be a good idea to vary them as much as possible, so the second one did not get a cloak but received a loincloth and some extra armour plates instead
The next picture shows the other classic RT Warrior, one of my favourite sculpts of the period (I just love that Shuriken Pistol!) and the Ghost Warrior.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/3db50238-180b-423b-bcc4-03bd75f8eb6f_zps7oonnhkb.jpg)

I only wanted to make tiny adjustments to this figure, so he only got some flashy epaulettes and a couple of knee pads.
Next up are the two officers based on Eternal Champion figures.
They remain the same as before, although Corum has had the back of his staff altered.... ;)
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/39b2c06e-9dae-4432-99c8-1042148d1d62_zps7nua7jvt.jpg)

And finally the last two warriors.
The 'Scorpion Samurai' is as before but the Catapult armed warrior has had leg armour added and a plume added to his helm.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/97c24c09-358e-4c98-809f-583d60a9c580_zpswx0itcyw.jpg)

I am looking to move onto some painting soon.
-
The group look great together! The additions all look natural and I bet they'll be even better painted. I think the Corum conversion is my particular favourite.
On the two based on the same figure, if you wanted to distinguish between them even more, you could clip of a Mohawk and file the head smooth, or perhaps add a Geordie LaForge type visor on one?
-
Great stuff! What an excellent project. :) I look forward to seeing them painted ;)
-
Cock on. ;) lol
Or off, as it may appear.
They look great. I look forward to seeing them with paint on them.

I did consider a visor of sorts, and may still do it, but I like the hair and really want to keep it.
A bald elf just does not seem right to me.

Really nice sculpting on the additions you've made. The armour plates are really cleanly done, and those cloaks and capes are fantastic. Do you think that sculpting your Old West models has helped you when it comes to making these sorts of additions? They really look wonderful - looking forward to seeing them painted!
-

Topknot? Ponytail? Elvis 'do'? ;)

Thanks, Hawkeye.
Much appreciated.
:D
I should hope that every bit of putty pushing should help you improve.
The cloaks on these, for instance, were much simplet after having learnt a few shortcuts over time.
Certainly a lot quicker than when I first tried it on my Gondorians.
;)
Topknot? Ponytail? Elvis 'do'? ;)
lol
You have gotten me thinking now, with the 'Elvis do' remark.
:D
-
On my Dark Elf Blood Bowl team, all the blitzers (converted from the Jordell Freshbreeze model) have huge Elvis dos - it's the hairstyle of the future, don't you know.

Now THAT I would like to see!
I am becoming seriously tempted by this whole 'Elvis' thing.
;)
One other thing that I should mention is that the evil mastermind, Legionnaire Bert is starting a Necromunda campaign tonight.
I am going to proxy some figures for my first outing this evening but am now staring at the RT leadpile with special attention being paid to the Iron Claw Space Pirates.....wanted to paint them for ages.
The Eldar may be pushed down the queue a little, we shall see.
::)

I found something that has been sitting around in a box for some years now...a beautifully painted, original Eldar Dreadnaught....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/Eldar%20Crew%20pre-paint%20049_zpsluys0kch.jpg)
This gorgeous chap was bought on ebay almost ten years ago on a whim as I loved the paintjob so much.
No idea who painted it, but he should blend in well with the look of this crew, I reckon, so I will rebase it to match this lot.
Lovely, aint she?
-
That Dread is a thing of beauty! Lovely 'face' :)
-
I like that. :D
That'll fit in perfectly with your ships crew.
-

I agree.
But which one?
;)
I like that. :D
That'll fit in perfectly with your ships crew.
I hope so.
Considering that I will be painting the crew in a uniform of sorts, I may try and sneak a few of those colours into the non-uniform parts of the crew members outfits.
:D
-
Dread looks great!
-
Brilliant stuff. :) The little bits of converting add a lot.
Is the top face on the dread Mel Brooks? ;D

that's a great paint job, very colourful
-
Cool project! My favourite is your converted Elric mini. Though, I have mixed feelings about the Humpty Dumpty Dreadnought.
-
That dreadnought is terrifying, great paint job but scary as hell.....
All of the conversions look great so far too :)

Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.

Steering away from the Eldar for a while now as it is time for something else.
I urgently need a new Necromunda gang (I am using my Squats as proxies at the moment....maybe I should take some piccies of them soon too... ;)) and have been itching to paint my Iron Claw Space Pirates ever since I managed to snaffle up the last one I needed to complete the set.
So, to kill two birds with one stone, the Pirates shall be my new 'Munda gang.
:D
I reckon they will work just fine as denizens of the Underhive, bearing in mind how ugly some of them are.
(In the nicest possible way, of course).
I dug them out earlier, based and undercoated them, and attacked them with the brush.
Three hours later I am very happy with the progress....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/32909713-3cdd-4277-97e0-3d572bb6ffb4_zps7wma9efj.jpg)
About halfway there, I reckon.
There are seventeen Pirates another two Olley sculpts in the Imperial Psyker and Servitor (Pit Slave) and an early RT Inquisitor who works just fine as my leader, Mr Biffta.
I hope to get them finished before the next game.
Fingers crossed.
::)
-
Using that good-ole-boy style Inquisitor with the IC Pirates is a great idea. Unsurprisingly the Olley Psyker fits in perfectly too.
I tracked down the last of the Pirate/Merc range last year and I am dying to get them painted. Its such a Marmite range, so peculiar in style and design, I love it. As someone said elsewhere, the desaturated, sepia look that you are going for is perfect for them. They could almost fit into Upsheet Creek, which is a good thing in my book :)
I really am dying to see these finished, even more so than the Eldar. Apart from the original set painted by GW I dont recall ever seeing the lot of them together and painted anywhere else. Asslessman has made a good start on a set and once you have yours done I will be scouring them both to see what ideas I can nick ;)
-
ooh another corner of the web your making in your image Pablo. Very nice (that eldar dred is very tidy), and the new necromunda gang looks great. Send em down the mines of UpSheet Creek I say!
Cheers
matt
-
Awesome!!
-
Thanks, chaps.
Much appreciated.
:D
I am hoping to get these finished in the next few days.
I shall post pics of them when they are done.
-
Great to see The Biffta Company taking shape, Mason! I should get a better look at them in the flesh when we play in the week. I am sorry that my meagre technical skills preclude me from posting pictures of our games in the underhive of Sector 313 (fans of 8 Mile/Eminem will get that reference lol), but to be honest what with writing up games etc. my time's taken up anyhoo. Might get you to take a few pictures of your boys in action though mate ;).
The Biffta Company looking good :). You should show some pics of your squats as they are gorgeous 8).
Bert
PS - unrelated, sorry, but did anyone else who went to Salute today think it felt especially crowded this year??? I found it pretty unpleasant to be honest. :(
-
Cheers, mate.
Thoroughly enjoying the campaign, it is good to resurrect an old favourite.
Hopefully the Biffta Company will be finished in the next couple of days.
Fingers crossed.
:D
All this recent talk of 'Munda, and even getting a couple of games in, has given my mojo a real lift, to the point where I would like to add a few more things to my own collection.
I have even started to create a few of my own.
(I should be doing something else, but you know how it is..... ::)).
I have begun with my own version of a Ratskin Scout.
Still WIP, but getting there...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/c3afc276-9ba4-4d93-843f-37bb4234b350_zpsj3khpjia.jpg)

I am trying to keep the figure a little more generic compared to a GW Ratskin as, although they do have a certain characterful feel to them, some of them seem a little dwarfed by their ratty cloaks.
I have also started on a Scaly, but that is still a way down the line yet...
-
I really like this! Definite Last of the Mohicans feel about him. As you say looks suitably different from GW's ratskins, too. Can't wait to see the scaly!

Yep, you guessed right, Iroquoian type look for this fella.
Here is another one, as I added a little to him earlier whilst finishing off some VBCW ladies...

I shall take a piccie of it at the moment, mate.
;)

That Ratskin is looking absolutely great, you have become quite the dab hand at the sculpting Mason.
My own trashy preference would be for a few more techy, sci-fi trappings on the guy: he looks like a repurposed historical figure to me. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I like a bionic limb/eye, tricorder on belt approach when I sci-fi up my fantasy/historical figs.
Of course, the main thing that I am looking forward to seeing is those lovely old Iron Claw Pirates/Mercs. I am really interested to see how they turn out.

He is not finished yet, mate.
Just gotta get the right proportions in there first.

They are slowly coming along.
My painting mojo comes and goes and I have been trying to pin it down this week, but cannot hold it for long.
::)
Can't wait to see the scaly!
Well, just for you then.....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/BUF%20ladies%20024_zpsop0eftqk.jpg)
As you can see it is still, very much, WIP, but coming along nicely.....well, I am happy with it so far.
:D
-
That scaly is really appealing, he has that nice fallout supermutant vibe and better proportions than the originals.

Nice scabs! 8) 8)

Although I have no idea about anything from Fallout, I appreciate the sentiment.
At least I assume that it is a compliment...
And I never was a fan of those first edition Scalies.
The proportions did not do it for me either.
Nice scabs! 8) 8)
Cheers, mate.
The Scaly has some nice ones too.
;D
Rear view of the big guy so far...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/BUF%20ladies%20030_zpslkxu38yq.jpg)
Still plenty to do, as you can see....

The scaly is fantastic - I love his big dopey face :)
-

It appears he does ;) lol
His face is full of character :-*
Cheers

Thanks, chaps.
:)
The Scaly is roughly 40mm tall.
I wanted to go for a more upright and imposing pose than the old skool Scaly, to make him more in line, physically, with an Ogryn.
This fella will eventually be armed with a scattergun, that is the start of his bag of 'ammo' under his right arm.
I hope to make some more progress on him and the Ratskin this evening.
-
The Scaly looks just right to me. Its a lot like the version from Fanatic in the 2000s, which adds an air of authenticity, if you know what I mean.

I just did a search for that chap and it is a little scary as I have not seen that one before, only the originals from the Outlanders expansion.
Weird!
:o
-
That scaly certainly is looking good from the WIP. If I can persuade you to do a series of mutant sculpts then I might be forced to start a scavvie gang!

I may be tempted into doing just that.
;)
The Ratskin is finished and the Scaly about 90% there.
Then I need to sort out his gun....
Piccies at the weekend.
-
Well, it has taken a while to find time to take a piccie or two (along with resisting joining all these Star Wars shenenigans that are going on.....), but I have finally gotten some proof that the Scout sculpt is finished...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/ae67c008-28cb-45c3-97e8-de0593f62b10_zpskc54uai6.jpg)

I shall be using him as a Ratskin Scout, but I can see him being useful in a number of genres, Post-Apoc in particular.
-
Really great work Mason. He has a great look :)

He looks very cool! Can't wait to see the painted version :)

Hands, feet, belt knot and tidying up to do and then it is on to his huge shooter.

These look awesome man! So much character. I can just see them running around Mos Eisley looking for trouble while avoiding the Stormtroopers.
-
The scaly looks fantastic! Personally, I really like the unarmed sculpt...have you considered keeping the weapon a separate part and/or having two variants?

To be honest I had not even considered them in a SW setting.
I was thinking more Post Apoc as an alternative, but SW....why not?
:D
The scaly looks fantastic! Personally, I really like the unarmed sculpt...have you considered keeping the weapon a separate part and/or having two variants?
The weapon will be a seperate piece as it will be an issue casting it if I make it too chunky.
That is the reason the hands are not done yet, I may cut them off and have them affixed to the gun.
As for two options: I am considering having a changeable 'barrel' end to the weapon that has a either a giant blunderbuss barrel or a harpoon.
I am also tinkering with the idea of a second scaly mutant as well, though..... ;)
-

I'd second that idea, if you were to cast him as is he could also hold a spear and shield for low tech or fantasy.
-

While I wouldnt dream of making demands, the Scaly weapon option that was never covered in miniature was the "discus" - supposedly some sort of weighted, aerodynamic circular saw blade that Scalies are inclined to lob around. That image stuck with me as an entertainingly cheesy and cinematic.
But obviously, I will take what I am given, which looks like it will be excellent :)
-
The scaly in the gang pack had a discus attached to his belt. Not the main weapon though. That would be cool. I'd like to see the scaly as more of a close combat type ganger.

You have all gotten me thinking now.
Maybe an assortment of optional hands may be a good idea....?

I had forgotten about that. Might be a good basis for any extrapolation of design.

Well if they are going to be separate anyway, then perhaps. But getting the pose to work with every option might be difficult. An overtly discus armed scaly appeals to me for some reason.

Well, it could be left 'as-is' with the weapons made so that they fit into place on the hands.
The Discus could be separate pieces that just slip onto the hands as they are, like gloves... I know what I mean.
I shall try and work it out for the 'practical.
;)
-
Both looking exceedingly good, Mason. That Ratskin in partucular is a right sinister looking beggar!
-
....No, not THOSE ABC Warriors.
;)
I have finished sorting out the new Necromunda gang.
:D
These chaps are the ABC Warriors (Augmented Binary Collective).
A group with a rather fundamentalist attitude to the worship of the Omnissiah and see the teachings of the Imperial Creed as blasphemous and are spreading the true word in Sector 313.
Members of the group cast aside their human identities when they join the 'Collective' and adopt a new identity using binary code.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/3704bf67-56ab-4f26-80d0-8417472656f7_zpsj2rx1z5q.jpg)
They are utilising the Van Saar rules, as they are predominantly technology focussed.
I did consider Cawdor, and maybe should have gone down that route bearing in mind their preference for getting up close and personal...
They were a really quick fix as I bought the ganger figures from Dr Falkenhayn some time ago with the intention of using them as the basis for a sci-fi faction.
Necromunda just came along first.
All I did with these was rebase them onto 25mm slottas.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/d72c0a50-656a-4c3a-a2f7-17ad6ff5ff71_zps5hi17oha.jpg)
The other figures I did paint myself, (the Pit Slaves some twenty years ago!).
This is the Leader of the Collective, 10101, and his Pit Slave hired guns.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/dfb2b06e-6708-45e1-ae04-30fbece11e15_zpsam0uep12.jpg)
The Pit Slaves are both conversions, the female slave, PMT, began life as a Citadel Barbarian which got seriously damaged and hence had an arm lopped off and replaced with a chainsword.
The male slave, Black-Eyed P, has the body of a plastic Goliath figure, the head of a Dwarf and a screw to represent his Rock Drill.
Simples!
The leader is a slightly converted Redemptionist Priest, that began a second career as an Inquisitor in my IG army some fifteen years ago, and has now had his robes painted again to serve in the Collective.
I will probably go back to him and tidy some of the other areas on him ,later, but he will do for now.
Sorry for the rather bad pictures, I may retake them if I go back and sort out some of the painting on the leader.
Maybe.....
-
A fine looking gang Mason. Given their large number they are a real pospect, too - they just won their inaugral game of Necromunda against a gang with a few games under their belt, so well done Mason 8).
I really like this gang's look, and the covering fluff is great too. I look forward to a few more games against them.

Well, he now has two mates who will be joing him in the mould.
I hope to finish them today so should have some pics up later.

Just thought that I would be this one up again as a reminder.
:D

Well, I have been using them in our Necromunda campaign where they have been acquitting themselves pretty well.
One of the fellas recently gained the SPECIALIST skill, so I needed to represent either a melta gun or plasma gun on one of them (have not decided which yet...).
The only problem being that I have no idea who makes them, so simply order more to convert was out of the question.
After having a little delve in my bits box I found a plague doctor type figure without a head.
The robes on the figure were very similar so I set about converting that instead.
With a Victoria miniatures head and the excess green stuff that I had left over whilst making the Scouts I got this far....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/ratskin%20greens%20021_zpsjubhk4ry.jpg)
I reckon he will fit in just fine when I have finished.

Finished the conversion work....

I finished off a rather quick paintjob on the new member of the gang and redid the hood on the leader at the same time as I was not really happy with the red.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/8aa4bca5-55b5-4ed9-a0e0-f244e02a4922_zpswmhq9qu2.jpg)
The colours are not exactly the same, the original being more yellow, but I am happy enough with it.

I think as long as you have enough, the odd colour difference won't matter :)

Cool thread mate. Liking the Scaley's and the Scouts :D

I finally got around to finishing The Iron Claw Space Pirates this morning.
A great set of figures by the talented Bob Olley.
I love his take on these.
There are a couple of other figures in this mix, but I thought they would work well to add a little variety to the 'Ship's Crew'
It has taken a long time to get back to these, having started them a few months ago and then left them to gather dust.
I sort of lost the mojo and then could not get them the way that I originally saw them, so almost started again with the colour scheme.
I persevered in the end and think that I got away with it.
I certainly wont be painting twenty figures at the same time again in a hurry, though!
Not recommended.....
Here is the final result, with varying degrees of success.
Some I am happy with and others less so.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/97fbcb5f-7db7-49be-8e1c-cb5f35d55010_zpswfuvkoh2.jpg)
Glad to call them done for now, though.
I can always go back and tart them up a little if I want to......
-
It may have been a tortuous process, but the results are great! I don't think I've seen a fully painted set outside of the catalogue pages before.
I love the glowing blue details in particular. Lovely stuff :)
-
Very nicely done. The little details are what make them. Great stuff.
Lovely old skool basing too. ;)
-
top notch Stuff Paul,very interesting take on the metallic Parts :-* ;D
-
What a lovely project, Paul, I'll definitely follow that one :)
-
Cracking work Paul!
The half ghost in the back is an I teresting choice. What's his story?

It really is a relief to finally get them done, mate.
I have had most of them for about ten years or so when I bought a job lot ebay and spent the last couple of years picking up the rest.
Thanks to those that helped me pick up the last few here on the LAF.
:D
top notch Stuff Paul,very interesting take on the metallic Parts :-* ;D
Thanks, Damiel.
I am glad that you noticed.
I just thought that I would go for something a little different.
:)
The half ghost in the back is an I teresting choice. What's his story?
He is meant to be the psyker of the group.
The white effect is supposed to represent the light emenating from his staff, kind of like OSL but plain white/green.
Not sure if it really worked but I am not messing around with him any more now.
Here he is with a few figures that are not from the IC range, but that I thought would work well with the group....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/a4f99b71-5503-4529-9700-2d92987cca54_zpsmi9iubio.jpg)
The servitor is an Olley sculpt, so he fits in just fine.
Not sure who sculpted the 'Imperial Psyker' but he fits in as my ships navigator and the RT Inquisitor figure is the Rogue Trader/Captain, Mr Biffta.
-
That's some fancy painting, I like the colour scheme. It's so nice to see these, the servitor was one of the first sci-fi figures I remember seeing.
-

Finally getting these off the paint table and into the cabinet has encouraged me to get on with some more RT stuff, but what to do??
Marines, Orcs, Adventurers or maybe even those Eldar that I began this thread with....?
Hmmmm....
-
They look fantastic mate, well done! 20 is quite an undertaking. Least they are ready for when we resume 'munda in the new year ;)
So, what are ya gonna use for frostgrave...? ??? 8)

Not the greatest paint jobs ever but I am happy enough with them especially as they were all painted at once.

I am happy with how the weapons came out as that was an experiment that seemed to pan out well.
There are quite a few rough elements to the Pirates that I know that I should have done better but all in all I am happy with them.
This way they should at least see some 'game-time' in the near future, rather than languishing in the leadpile.
:D
I have started on the Eldar that are at the beginning of this thread and am again trying something completely different to what I would consider my 'normal' approach to things.
Fingers crossed that it works.
::)
I may even be getting my figure painting mojo back.

::)

;)
Here is the first of those Eldar that began this thread.
I thought I would begin by painting less at once this time, just in case it took me another few months to finish them if I do too many....like with the Space Pirates... ::)
So, bearing that in mind, four have all been taken up to the point where they just need tidying before basing.
I aim to finish one each day to keep me ticking over with these and not burning out.
Tis a delicate thing, my figure painting mojo.
I do not want to scare it off.....
First up to be finished is the Ghost Warrior....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_9843_zpslex5njhh.jpg)
As for the different approach mentioned earlier, I normally avoid loud colour schemes but thought that I would try something different with these.
-
Very loud, I assume that's the perfect camoflauge for a planet like Pandora. ;)
Looking great. I enjoy seeing these old miniatures painted well, as many are not even on my radar of what's out there.
Cheers
Matt
-
Cheers, Bertie.
Not the best paintjob ever but I am happy with it.
It would probably have come out a lot better if I had stripped it first, of course... ::)
I love those Ghost Warriors and have just gotten my hands on another now so that will be in this band too.
I also managed to finish another this afternoon due to the mad downpour that we had.
Normal warrior fella this time....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_9846%201_zpsmnovc7kc.jpg)
Again, it is a little rough but he looked ok to the naked eye when I was colouring him in.
The first two together....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_9798_zpst0s5zc60.jpg)
I reckon that they should look quite striking when they are all done in their garish livery.
;)
-
If nothing else, this rain we are getting here seems to have allowed me to crack on with these a littel as I have managed to finish another one.
Another classic RT sculpt that I stuck some putty to and showed pictures of earlier in the thread....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_9820%201_zpsvuqhow1d.jpg)
I am happier with this one.
Hopefully I am getting better with practise.
;)
-
Those old style figures just appeal to me much more than the later stuff. I think they just have more character about them. I always fancied a few ghost walkers but never got round to getting any.

I have been enjoying digging these out of the leadpile and working on them.
I have also been fortunate enough to get my hands on the other Ghost Warrior. so he shall be added to the band later.

Perfect! You've enhanced one of my favourite figures :)

Time for the last one for this week, as I wont be getting any time to finish any more for a few days at least.

Another of my favourite classics, gotta love that shuriken pistol.
:D
And with his mate from yesterday....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_9815_zpsv5fy2hmm.jpg)
These two I am really happy with, I just hope the next bunch come out as well as these......
-
Love these Paul, the guy with the huge barrelled pistol has always been a favourite of mine, scenery looks good too ;)
-
Nice painting, Paul 8)
I seem to remember some of these minis ;)

Mine too.
As for the scenery: It aint bad, I suppose.... ;)

Cheers, mate.
Makes a change for me to actually paint something that you send me..... ::)
As for the Jungle stuff: I now have enough materials to get a table covered so I shall begin sorting that out next month.
I am actually quite looking forward to it, as it should be fairly quick and easy to get the result that I want.
Which is always a bonus.
:D

I somehow lost track of this thread and managed to miss the finished shots of the Iron Claw pirates of all things.
They look particularly fantastic Mason. I tracked down the final few of that range that I required last year and I have been promising myself some alone time with them since, but other things keep getting in the way.
I hope that mine look as nice as yours do, you managed to unify them really nicely with those reds and browns. I was thinking about going for a similar sort of palette for them, kind of like the vaguely Western-in-space themed uniforms for the Marauders in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
I might even rip off that idea of adding the Psyker to the group... plagiarise wholesale ::)
-
I like the paintwork Paul, very colourful but works a treat!

Cheers, mate.
They are lovely figures and well worth tracking them all down.
I am sure that you will enjoy painting them when you do.
As for their colouring: They were originally going to be a much more muted colour similar to the original picture of them (some months ago... ::))....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/32909713-3cdd-4277-97e0-3d572bb6ffb4_zps7wma9efj.jpg)
....which I opted against using as I wanted to add more colour to the sculpts as they would look a little confusing with all that detail on them.
As for 'ripping off': Go ahead, mate, as I intend to steal plenty from you in future.
:D

Thanks, Alex.
It certainly is not my usual approach but I think it suits the subject.

Quick groupshot so far as the 'jungle' has to be put away....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_9855_zpszyqdrbm5.jpg)
....as it has been sitting on the desk in the cupboard for 'long enough'.
;)
It has made me really want to get on with sorting out the jungle scenery as soon as possible, though.
:D
-
Lubly! :-*

As mentioned elsewhere, Bugsda painted up a set of the Savage Scouts for me....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/1076f43a-10c2-4121-8fb7-78ff858e05e1_zps3fnvgvfg.jpg)
....who shall be featuring, along with the Iron Claw Space Pirates, in our first game of Inquisimunda later in the week.
:D
I shall be testing out using some (slightly modified) Old West buildings to create a frontier world settlement setting for that, along with some more period appropriate bits.
Pictures will provide the proof, of course.
;)

ooh you clever sausage, modular sci-fiation of Sheet Creek, now that has my attention.

I have not had time to 'transform' the buildings properly, but when I do the 'extras' that will make them appear more sci-fi will all be removable.
;)
We did however utilise the Old West buildings as they are to create a frontier world settlement for the first game of our Inquisimunda campaign.
With addition of a few vehicles and droids it passed muster for the time being.
The pictures that were taken later on all proved useless, but here are a few shots of the table at the start of the game....

I shall try and sort out better shots next time along with any more suitable additions that will be used as they are made.

Great multi-use of great terrain Paul. 8)

The railway line has been replaced with a Creek!
That looks good.

Do I spot Brian's mum poking around?
-
I wonder if something like the Mad Mecha Guy monorail would work in this setting?

The monorail would be a wonderful modern intrusion here. But then, it will work in any post modern/sci-fi setting, superb model and a great guy to deal with.

I intend to use it for several other settings as well in future.
Gotta make it pay for its upkeep, thats my reckoning.

I commissioned the river sections from Sundayhero on here.
Very nice generic piece of terrain.
Highly recommended.

You do indeed, along with a few other residents of the Creek.

I do already have the parts needed for a futuristic 'train' that I intend to make in future.
It should see plenty of use in all sorts of futuristic games when it is finished.
;)

lol
Anywhere and everyone, that is what she does.

That's cool. 8)

I have slowly been squirrelling away some old classic Citadel Rogue Trader figures for a venture back into the 41st Millennium with the intention of doing some small scale skirmishing using the RT rules and the original ideas before the whole system went crazy.
I intend doing small ship's crews, Inquisitorial retinues, Necromunda gangs, mercenaries, pirates, salvage crews, single squads etc without going off into 'army' territory.
Damn Paul, just saw this and have been doing the same thing for about four years now... I'll say it again, I like what you like... How big are you doing the squads, I was aim for 8-12...
-
That's cool. 8)
Thank you, sir.
:)

You do!
As for squads: No real min-max or target apart from when I get to the Marines which will be standard 5-man combat squad sized.
Just getting the figures together that I like and adding what I think works.
For example, the Space Pirates are about 20 strong as I used the 17 IC Pirates and added a few more Olley sculpts as they fit in nicely.
;)

You are going to have to get rid of the dt's when taking photos... Either that or get a tripod lol

I did take quite a few.

It's the discounted spy drones he's using. Only one careless owner

Oh, sir! I missed tons of awesome stuff here! Absolutely brilliant!
-
Little squads, small drop ships and the like make for the most fun I think. Believable skirmishes are more interesting narratively in 28mm than a large battle line.
It also means you can model and paint all sorts of things without getting bored! :D
Cheers
Matt

This is a great way of multi-using one's collection! 8) And of course, you get a good reason to get some minis more ;D And besides all that, we get to see cool things this way, win-win for all of us :D

That is one of my main aims when it comes to scenery these days: Space saving.
I do not have room for many more boxes of scenery now so I aim to 'multi-purpose' as much of it as possible.
This stuff works well enough, I suppose, but really needs to be more genre specific.
Some extras will be made to do on to each building to sci-fi them up a bit.
I shall post it up here when I get some proper 'add-ons' done.
;)

Just the addition of stuff like Sci Fi crates, barrels, pv panels, turbines, moisture collectors, heat pumps, sir con units, etc would totally change the feel. It'll look great.
Remember the episode of the old Battlestar Galactica with the old west planet? A damaged cylon was a gunfighter called Red Eye (or something like that). It reminds me of that.

That is what I am thinking.
I have enough of that kind of stuff for when I finally get around to some 'desert planet' stuff.
I may as well multi purpose it rather than stick it in place.
;)

I do!
I have the old series on DVD.
I may have to dig it out and see if I can base a game of I'Munda on it.

Have a mashup with the Viking, and play with his seahorse stage coach :D
Everyone wants a bit of desert planet terrain. Not to mention is a lot easier to model, store and game on than dense jungle lol lol
Ramblings But I am tempted by a bunker/vault/spachesip complex OR Cave systerm... That is pretty useful too. 8) /ramblings
cheers

A bit off-topic, but regarding transforming terrain, I'm reminded of this "magnetised village" idea which I'm still thinking of copying: http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=339952 (http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=339952)

Looking at the large desert cliffs and outcrops currently on my worktable, I'm not so sure about the "easier to store" bit...
-

I want to do both but the jungle is going to get done first as I already have loads to work with and I think that desert dwellings are going to become VERY popular VERY soon.
;)

Me too, but that will have to wait until I find just the right system for storage.
I have me an idea for that, though....
;)

And I finally got around to adding a few more Eldar to the band to make them a 'game-able' force....

(Taken just before they got their first appearance on a table earlier. Photos of that to follow later.... :)).

Very colourful team you have there Paul. I better grab my shades ... 8) 8) 8)
For a cave, I'm thinking tiles which stack in a box. ... Fixed terrain in tile form works quite well I think.
Cheers

Love the colours. Not sure I'd be brave enough to try a colour scheme like that, but it sure works!

Thanks, fellas.
I wouldn't normally go for anything like that as it really does not work with my painting style but I felt that I would try and make them fit in with the Dreadnaught from earlier the thread..

(More details about the Dread are on page 3)
Of course, the down side is any additions (of which there are a few to come) will have to blend in too.... ::)

Oh, I am settled on that idea: They will all be 8x10 and stack neatly in an A$ paper box.
It is the exact concept that I need to settle on as I want multi-purposing as I will only be building one system so it has to cover all the bases.
;)
-
Well they fit in the the harlequin theme splendidly Paul. 8)

;)
Having built some flat sand and small cliffs already on 22cmx30cm tiles (designed to fit in a PAPPIS box) id strongly recommend the tiles being smaller than the box. It is much easier to place them diagonally in end first.. which means there needs to be a little extra swinging room for it to reach horizontal(length). Fat hands need some grab room when pulling them out too (width). I have also discovered that flat tops (at least 4 corners) helps stabilise and support the layers above, or you need packaging to fill in the gaps :\ Again a flat topped cave system will be perfectly fine. 8)
Im all ears when your idea has germinated, but as we've discussed a 'boring' natural cave system would be the best. It really offered the most use from cavemen to future worlds. I imagine 2-4 start/finish flavour tiles would be cool, e.g. a Mine cart tile, a catacomb tile, sci-fi base/spaceship tile, along with the 'big' cave entrance. Scatter such as wooden crates/barrels could easily be fixed to the cave tiles, but other scatter such as mine carts, treasure, alien artefacts, explosives, generators, broken robots could fit into washer shaped recesses.. perhaps with magnetised lanterns/lights for the walls..
Thats my thoughts to add to the brains trust. ;)
Cheers
Matt
-
We are on the same wavelength, Bertie.
As for tight-fitting-boxes (ooh-err!)....
That is why I am going 10x8. It is slightly smaller than the A4 size which allows them to be stacked on a bubblewrap 'sleeve' first and then the whole lot are lowered (or raised) in the sleeve and you dont have to worry about fitting your fingers into any gaps in the box as you hold the sleeve instead.

Some shots of the I-Munda game from earlier in the week.
Having been sent there by their mysterious leader, Klaus Konrad Krakowitz the Blasphemous Bombast of Bull-Shatt, the Brotherhood of Eternal Sunshine have recently raided a mining town on the backwater planet of Upsheet II.
They are seeking to claim an ancient alien artefact that had been recently discovered by local workers in one of their workings.
Having driven out the local inhabitants using very some persuasive tactics, they have the thing in their possession when some Eldar turn up to attempt to spoil the party.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/0027e70e-0821-4c9c-bcea-8585b2c79a73_zpsivwqq0n8.jpg)
Unluckily for the Eldar the Brotherhood have noticed their arrival and are waiting for them...

...where, after a vicious close-range firefight and a few bouts of brutal close combat, the Eldar are cut down....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_0839_zpslm2rhdnb.jpg)
There was obviously a fair bit more than this going on, but those are the piccies that came out ok, so that is what the local pict-rag is reporting.

The Eldar look great, shame they got shot up I always liked them.

What are you using for the cultist models?

Trust you Ozzies to come up with that one.
lol lol
As for the outpost: It is coming together slowly.
I am currently working on some street clutter to 'sci-fi' up the place a little more.
Here is the first bit, although I have not finished with it yet, as I had an idea after weathering it.....

Virtual brownie points to anyone who guesses what it is going to become.. ;D

Theres also the X1 Viper droid that would look great in your setting.

Very cool. I've got a few of those sitting around. I had intended to make walking tanks for a corrupted IG army that never came to pass. There were some cool vehicles in that game that are now often quite affordable if you can find them.

AS mentioned earlier in the thread, we have managed to actually use some of these figures in a campaign of Inquisimunda.
The first game involved Legionnaire Bert and his Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Henrik Monteufel.
Monteufal is on the trail of the Arch Heretic Klaus Konrad Krakowitz the Blasphemous Bombast of Bull-Shatt.
Tracking him down to the frontier world of Upsheet II, an arid world comprising of small mining colonies scattered around it's various deserts, he managed to catch a picture of the Bombast on one of the scanner-bots which showed him heading into an elongated valley bordered by low hills and craggy buttes aboard a landspeeder .
This area is generally known to be controlled by a local band of smugglers, but the Inquisitor was not going to worry about them.
He immediately assembled his band of retainers and made his way out there.
Here is a pictograph of the group before they set out, taken by one of the servitors on board Monteufel's ship, the Saucy Nancy....

Cheers Mason. I have really enjoyed our two games thus far (the fact that I've contrived to win both is mere coincidence!).
I like the Inquisitor semi-RPG feel I-Munda brings.
Must pull my finger out and paint up my own models for Inquisitor Monteufel's warband. Not that I mind using yours, just that I feel like a bit of a fake for doing so! Christmas is coming, so I will have time to get stuck into that one. I think I've got a decent set, although some of yours have more character than mine, but at least I'll have my own models. I feel it's the least I can do!
Looking forward to the next installment of our games.

Wow awesome,I scanned through the thread,but couldn't see,who makes the 3 figures that look like their wearing buckskins.

No pressure to get your own figures painted, mate.
I dont mind if you use mine.

:D
As for the who makes the Scouts: I do.
There is a shot of one of the greens on pg 7 of this thread.
If you are interested in a set just send me a PM, I have a few left.
;)

I was more curious mason,as never seen them before,I prefer them to most of the rat skin scuplts,
Do you have plans on adding to the range, they could appeal to someone wanting sci fi native Americans as well?
As only other ones I've seen are westwinds crow dogs .

Plenty more in the pipeline, sir.

Great Inquisitorial retinue Mason - a good mix of hangers-on and guns for hire!
There's a nice synergy with your Inquisitor and his ratskin scouts which gives a Western feel - ideal for RT!

A rather fitting comment really as the second game involving Inquisitor Monteufal utilised a fair bit of my Old West scenery....
The second game featured a raid on a smugglers camp in order to get the recorder from a landspeeder that the smugglers kept in the yard and used for local patrols.

The speeder in question....

The Imperial agent and his team would have to recover the information that they needed from under the noses of the smugglers in question.

Meet the DR:PEPA twins......
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_0992_zpsqfpvvpox.jpg)
(Durrilium Recognition:Prospective Evaluation Probe Apparatus).
Used for locating suitable areas for prospective mining works, they operate in pairs sinking probes into a deep bore hole (a process known as 'laying an egg' by their operators) and relaying the information gathered to each other to determine the exact size and location of Durrilium deposits to establish if it is worth the expense of deep tunnel mining in the area.
Particularly effective on Upsheet II where the deposits of Durrilium are abundant but often so small as to make tunneling most expensive.
-
Awesome stuff! Really cool photos and the game setup looks ace as usual.
-
Love your work on the tank droids. I've got one waiting on some paint at the moment, so nice to see yours for some inspiration.
-
Looking good. I may have to track one of those down for Judge Dredd. Great concept too.
-
Thank, chaps!
Much appreciated.
:)
The big droid is such a versatile thing that when I saw another on a 'BOGOF' offer I had to get it, along with a Tie Crawler which will feature in another addition to this project soon.

I quite thought it would make a perfect art deco statuary. Sitting quietly in the park for decades.
Do have to admit the idea crossed my mind of some child running a bicycle into it, and little red indicator lights starting to glow.
GREAT project all through!
Agreed about the crawler, though I think someone did a conversion that seemed, sort of, right. ::)

Necromunda, with a few minor tweaks.

Thanks

You can use the Necromunda rules for pretty any size skirmish games, so they would work fine with 5 or 6.
The Inquisitorial warbands we have been using in our campaign are pretty much that size, with more 'bad guys' to balance it up as they are pretty basic whilst the characters in the player bands are more experienced.

A couple of additions to this set-up in the form of a 'Sand Devil' area effect template.....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/494c3d77-d7e7-434c-b772-230c3c27c3e6_zpsoymjb6a8.jpg)
....which has relevance with a new form of Alien creature that will form part of my own 'Outlanders' setting and be tested out in our I-Munda games.
And a Merchant with his Porters carrying their loads that will be populating the townships...

....'loads' still to be painted, of course.
;)
-
A quick bit of conversion and weathering on a SW bendy speeder makes a quick bit of set dressing/clutter etc which can also get used in-game as an objective....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/e0e996cd-a61b-4975-b50e-003e0a30be33_zpsv1di57hi.jpg)
Although it does seem that I have the curse of the light again, as it is quite different to this in reality.
::)
Another picture in daylight may be in order.
I also finished off the painting on the Porters 'loads'; but they have been posted in this thread: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=86600.60

I did think that the picture had an air of 'caption competition' to it after it was taken.
I reckon the Merchant is saying something along the lines of:
'At that price, my children will be on gruel for a week!'

As I am getting someone else to paint up the 'official' Outlander War Party in buckskins, I am opting to paint my own versions of the Outlanders as a Scavvy gang for both Necromunda and I-Munda.
I figured that some Scavvy bands would opt for as much elaborate clothing as they can get their hands on, maybe looted from trade caravans or even previous victims.
So, bearing that in mind, here are the first of the Chavvy Scavvies....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/7eda8a5d-40ef-47fe-a638-13e79780a9a7_zps2slekgny.jpg)

I managed to get a bit more 'clutter' finished in the form of some small containers...
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/c1942c27-3fcd-4496-a64e-3630c3f163eb_zpswws21fcv.jpg)
I have a few more to finish this afternoon, along with a couple of 'things'....
-
They look useful. Are they scratchbuilds?
-
They look useful. Are they scratchbuilds?
No, mate.
They are the resin ones from the Escenorama Indigogo campaign that took two years to reach me... ::)
They are pretty nice, though.
They come in two parts, something which I have utilised on some of the others.
I have finished them now and am just waiting for the glue to dry out on the bases before taking some pictures.

You make that sound like a perversion. Almost.

I was more than a little disappointed by the whole affair, to be honest.
Whilst the containers are quite nice, they are not worth the hassle I had in getting them.
I would rather have passed on them if I had known what was coming.....
The 'things', on the other hand, were no problem at all.
I have another couple of them to do (when I open the other box) AND I will be making use of the rest of the contents and making another item or two for this project.
All in all, a most useful item.
Any guesses where they are from?
:D

Flood lamps or cheap shower heads? lol

Nice, ehm, things... :D
They remind me of the exhausts/nozzles of some rocket or spacecraft, like maybe Space Shuttle booster rockets or something?
That, and cheap shower heads, obviously... lol
-
Nope, not even shower caps.
I shall give you a clue: They are inverted and would normally be found the other way around.
Oh, and there is half a dome inside them that you can just make out in the picture, although it is a little difficult to see as I have drybrushed the previously clear surface.

Fair assumptions but no cigar!

Only kidding.
To be fair, if you do not already own one you probably would not be able to guess it...

They are parts from this thing:
http://film-tv.minimodelfilmstuff.co.uk/film-tv-collectable/the-golden-compass-scoresby-airship-diecast-model-cards-inc-gc78628
The rest of this monstrosity is going to be utilised too, so not a bad kit to play around with.
The 'sacks' will be used along with the car itself, once I have made an undercarriage.
AND I have two of the buggers, thanks to Tom the B*stard, which is a nice bonus.

Right! Now that was well beyond the scope of my search pattern...
Good use of some, originally, pretty fugly parts though. ;)

We played another couple of games in our I-Munda campaign earlier in the week with Tom the B*stard starting off the adventures of his Rogue Trader, Solomon.
We used mostly Old West terrain again set up to represent an urban dockside area, which Solomon would have to traverse, beginning in the upper left corner and having to reach the ferry that would shuttle them across the river to the spaceport on the far side. The small ferry boat can be seen in the bottom right corner.
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_1796_zpsakaxsdpd.jpg)
The table surface would be difficult terrain, representing the sticky, cloying marsh that the area was built on, with normal movement only possible on the roads and the raised blocks that each building sat on (their base areas).
En route a group of bounty hunter scum would attack them, trying to claim the Inquisition bounty that has mysteriously appeared on Solomon's head.
This made for an interesting twist as it really did restrict the movement for both sides and created some really risky areas on the table and made the game(s) much more fun.

Sorry, mate, no AAR or further pics.
The lighting in the 'gaming are' at this time of year in the evening is not very cooperative.
Later on in the year it is possible, though, especially with the clocks changing soon.
I just took this one in case we have to set up the table the same way for future games.
:-[
Great set up and game ideas mate 8) 8) 8)
Cheers, mate.
The ideas worked well, and the areas of 'slowed' movement certainly affected the game adding a certain amount of head scratching at times.
Agree, this setup is very nice! Though initially I was a bit confused realizing that this is an Old West city. But then I remembered Firefly :)
Thanks, Alex.
To be honest, I didnt really 'get' Firefly, it just did not do it for me.
This set up is much more influenced by the idea of our campaign taking place in a much more 'frontier' setting on the edge of human space, so not so much tech about.
That and the fact that I have a bunch of Old West stuff that works with this setting, of course...
;)
Liking the look of that. now I've got to read the whole topic to find out what the 'eck it's all about... :D

Another shot of a game set-up....
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/IMG_1984_zpsg30az0vl.jpg)
Again no AAR*.
Long story cut short: A clandestine was being held between Cult leader 'Bombast' and representatives of the INSO Corporation regarding an arns deal, which was promptly gate-crashed by an Inquisition strike team looking to capture the Bombast.
The Inquisition managed to take down most of the minions of the Cult and Corporation, including a Chaos Marine, but Corporation Executive and his bodyguard escaped as did the Bombast, who fled alone into the countryside and is currentlybeing pursued by the forces of the Emperor as you read... ;)
*This picture was taken during the afternoon when it was set up, light is not good enough for proper pictures in the evenings (when we play) in that part of the house for proper pictures.
The evenings are getting lighter, though.
;) :D
-
Very nice set up looks good fun to game.
-
Nice Paul, the green trees look like they belong with your multi-purpose desert baseing. Very smart, I shall have to nick that idea if I get to trees.
The fish rocks certainly work don't they! 8) 8)
Run bombast run! Keep running!
Cheers
Matt

Table Looks beautiful
-
Twas another great game courtesy of Mason.
Alas, although my warband took the minions apart we let the main bad guys escape :'(.
I can see where we went wrong, all coming on from the same table edge (Mason, as GM, did stress in set up several times 'You can come on from any table edge, doesn't all have to be the same one' But I didn't take heed and grouped together. This was for mutual support, but in future I'd do things a little differently to cut off potential escape routes; it's a learning experience all the time.
Discovering a Thousand Sons traitor marine came as a bit of a surprise! He did have a decent stand up fight with my combat servitor Draper before he put the poor unfortunate mech's lights out (luckily only temporarily). After that we just surrounded him and pumped manstopper rounds into him until we overloaded his refractor field and found weak spots in hs ancient power armour until he eventually fell over! By that time the baddies had made their escape...
One gleeful part of the game came when the Bombast attempted his pyro psychic power and nearly fried himself! Mason decided that discretion was the better part of valour after that, and had it away on his pointy-toed cultist boots :D. That was a moral victory if not an actual one.
For anyone curious about Inquisimunda I highly recommend it; it is essentially Necromunda without points or ammo rolls. All very enjoyable thus far, we are playing again next week and I think there may be a photo op or two as we are playing during the day :).

So inquisimunda is a house rule version?

The Priest and his Cyber-Hound

I was trying to go for a pasty, quite ill-looking complexion reminiscent of Darth Vader sans helmet.
Not sure if that quite worked but I am reasonably happy with the final look of him.
Next up will be the Bounty Hunter, once I do the final highlights.

(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/BHU%20paint_zpsxyjxvwxw.jpg)
I think he came out pretty well, much better than my efforts on the Priest, so I have used this fella on the website:

The Customs Officer and his Sensor-Bot.
(http://i346.photobucket.com/albums/p419/thebeggarscave/CUS%20paint_zpsgk3bt3xx.jpg)
I thought orange would be a good colour for an official working at a spaceport, not quite hi-vis, though, as I wanted to keep the palette fairly muted.

These are looking good Mason! My favourite is the bounty hunter :) My version is painted up as a member of the Adeptus Mechanicus (40K fans!) - it is a very versatile model. ;)

Baby constable is 6months now, so .. I'd say about that long hahaha. So many stalled projects in the mini cupboard and more in the lead mountain unstarted :(
Hats off to the guys that manage to do both. o_o
Hope you've been well Paul.
I am good, mate. Cheers.
But, more importantly, I hope yourself, Mrs Constable and Junior are all doing well.
Good to see that you are now getting some time off for good behaviour.
:D

I finally got time to slap some paint on some of the figures from the KS.
Here is the first of them finished and based.....
The Priest and his Cyber-Hound

I was trying to go for a pasty, quite ill-looking complexion reminiscent of Darth Vader sans helmet.
Not sure if that quite worked but I am reasonably happy with the final look of him.
Next up will be the Bounty Hunter, once I do the final highlights.
keep looking at him ,all the hype over stealer cults at the minute.I reckon a 40k version of innsworth on a backwater planet would make some great skirmish gaming.And he would be great head of the cult. :)

Only the best behaviour :D
Glad your well Pablo, and steaming ahead with personal projects. Your putty skills are certainly improving.
Yeah he does look suited to a non-calamari ;) see what I did there? Space cult. 8)
Cheers
