Directorium Inquisitorum

[James Holloway]

That fly-drone is a great little kitbash. I like the shrines as well; I might do something similar using yours as inspiration. Got to do something with all these flagellant bits I've got lying around!

[Argonor]

Keep it up, you're doing great!

Followers of my Blog already know this, but with my wife in and out of the hospital for the last few months I focussed purely on the simple things I can do in front of the tv, like my 20mm Middle East village, leaving the rest in my hobbyroom as I had no real interest or time for it. I decied to take one of the boxes to the club tonight, though at 27 degrees inside, my 5 minute epoxy became 1 minute epoxy! I did make some progress on the Doomwheels, 2 are now ready to mount guns, but 2 of them are still without lids as I left one of my bitz bags at home by accident.



Bought some biker bases online in May that suit them very well I think. It is good to make some progress on them, I can now start to figure out how I want to do the various gunmounts. I've decided to drop the idea for a CC version, and won't do magnetised swappable guns, I'll stick to what I have and make that work. KISS all the way.

[von Lucky]

Sweet!

[commissarmoody]

Got to get some thing done while doing those long visits.

[OSHIROmodels]

They work a treat 

cheers

[Doomsdave]

Those are brilliant!

What do you say when a friend offers you a free built Stormwolf with no querstions asked? You say hell yeah! Then take a knife and hack away at it, to the horror of some of the locals at the GW shop  

This will be the ride of my Inquistors warband (as well as a 20mm dropship, explanation here http://20mmandthensome.blogspot.nl/2015/07/you-never-know-what-will-happen-next-day.html

Stripped down it looks much, much better then the original with all of the SW regalia and unneeded wings and winglets and weapon mounts removed



Still plenty to do!

[Mason]

You are right: It does look much better 'stripped dpwn'.
 

[Michka]

Looks much better already. I didn't like that ship when it first came out, but you have me reconsidering it.
 
I imagine the design process for making a Warhammer 40K vehicle goes something like this:

Step 1: Original design is brought in. It's given the initial approval.
Step 2: Then they hand the piece over to their crack team of specialists for modification.
Step 3: The specialists ask a panel of ten year olds what to add to the vehicle to make it "cooler".
Step 4: Requisite skulls, chains, wolf-heads, wings, and guns are added to the vehicle.
Step 5: Check with a new panel of eight year olds for final approval. 
Step 6: The customer sees the new vehicle in the catalog and wonders why he both hates and kinda likes the thing at the same time.

or maybe that's just me.

Spent a hobbynight magnetizing all 4 Doomwheels and added the first 2 sets of weapons. The boys at the Inquisiumda game today were impressed



Using the single magnet approach. I've looked at a magnet and a pin for stability but found just a magnet keeps it in place really well and being able to rotate the weapons a bit adds more drama.

[commissarmoody]

They look great dude! Can't wait to see them painted up

[Gunbird]

Trying out/relearning skills as I have not painted stuff for nearly 18 months. Which in my case means weathering the heck out of things



Tomorrow evening I'm trying out some filters, and some pigments during the week.

[Mason]

Very nice.
 

I somehow missed those Doomwheels- Very clever!
 

[Gunbird]

Just lost my filter virginity. Damned easy to use to be honest, I will pick up some more filters and go to town with them, I'm liking these!

After filter on the left, before filter on the right.



I'll let everything dry for 24 hours, then matte coat them, and then a very fine rust ring around the neck and parts of the welding I think....but weathering powders is another experiment for me
