Astrocorps and the return of the mojo

[Chimpfoot]

Having recently rediscovered my painting mono after rather a long lay off  and having thoroughly enjoyed Ash's solo space hulk youtubes I thought I might venture a homemade version of the same.

A root through the closet of despair turned up a box of colony 19 floor plans (rpgdrivethru) ready mounted and almost enough bits and pieces to fund the entire enterprise.

Doors consoles hyper sleep pods and God knows what else.
All I would really need would be about thirty feet of walls making to really spruce things up.

Terminators always seemed a bit stationary for me and I wanted something a little more sleeker and mobile for my protagonists so out with the bits box man and create. Points will be awarded for correct identification of bits used (no money alternative)

Wanted something stormtrooperish without going the full white so plumped for a more reserved bone flavoured armour.

Gribblies were another thing mantic nighstalkers would replace the gw genestealers (too damn big compared to the other figures) and give a nice space/horror vibe along with a small herd of giant space weevils (gw cursemites) to provide some lighter target practice.

So that's what we have so far included some test pieces of the walls to provide a bit of staging.

Happy viewing
Cheers all

A little more sir?

Lovely miniatures and cool backdrop!

[Grumpy Gnome]

I like it! Looking good and makes me want to see more.

[Storm Wolf]

 :-*Excellent stuff.

Looks like some old void 1.0 minis with new heads and weapons, but I am more than prepared to be wrong

I too am very close to finishing a project very similar to this..........

Keep up the good work

Hey, I think the back packs come from Space Marines, I've been using some of those myself on a special squad of my own.

[Chimpfoot]

Hey I think you're right

[Father_Andrew]

Wow!! Fantastic work! Love the conversions - those are some of my favorite Pig Iron heads too.

Little update on progress

Completely forgot I had these guys floating in the limbo of the bits box.
Again a more reserved paint job on the armour not one form the purists but that's just me.

Got some more doors done and a bit of scatter pieces to clog the rooms up with.
 
Don't think the space marines actually fit through the smaller doors not without taking most of the paint off their shoulder pads anyway.


More to come
Cheers all

Great work on those kitbashed void viridians, they've never looked better.

Where do the walls come from? They look really good too..

[syrinx0]

Nice work.

[Chimpfoot]

Hubbabubba thanks. The walls are home made. 5mm foam board painted grey then lines drawn on with a tech pen then painted to look like panels.
Simples
Cheers
