Space Wolf Predator

I don't know about you guys but I love the old style dome turrets.


Knight: Complete

And it is finished.


Then I spent way too many hours painting a tiny banner for reasons that I am sure made sense at the time.

Knight: Part 2

A little converting work and I feel much better.


I replaced most of the armour plates. Mostly scratchbuilt from plasticard and pins. The studded plates worked out a little better than I expected.


The reaper chainsword still amuses me a little.


An elegant weapon of a more civilised age. Wait... no it isn't. It's a chainsaw the size of a goram car.

Dunecrawler 2

The Onager Dunecrawler is an awesome kit. So I am pretty happy when people commission me to make them.


Still not sold on the official Mars colour scheme though.

Bigger Guns

I felt my Mechanicus troops needed a little artillery support. 
A little work with an Earthshaker cannon some tubes, a handful of matchsticks and a couple of jawas later, the first of three Earthshaker cannon emplacements was completed.


Knight: Part 1

Picked up a knight titan still on sprue for cheap(ish) from eBay.


For the most part it's a really cool kit to build. The whole upper half has tons of pose able connections. The legs however need a lot of cutting for even quite simple pose changes. I'll leave that for some future project.



Still not entirely convinced that chainsword is big enough.


With a bit of tweaking I did manage to make my knight left handed.


Not quite finished build. It's still a bit too built according to the instructions for my tastes. I have left all the armour plates separate for ease of painting so I might make a few adjustments before I start.

Menial servitors

I have seen these little guys in a couple of places now. I have a big bag of unwanted goblins so I thought I'd make some mini-servitors.


More to come, I just need to source some tiny machine deailes for them.

A friend and I had a recent conversation about the messed-uppidness of servitors when used for normal tasks. A mindless fusion of flesh and machine mopping the floor or doing the dishes is so much scarier than using them for battle.


Onager Dunecrawler

The mechanicus dunecrawler is a cool kit chock full of converting possibilities.


Which I ignore and build it by the numbers.


Still not convinced by the radioactive atomic winter snow.
