Frost Lord

A simple and easy conversion using Frostgrave bitz and an old GorkaMorka torso to make a small homage to the greatest Cimmerian.

Work Bench : 2018

As well as continuing to work on my Thornmoons Crusade force, I have been building and converting a Blight Mechanicus army for 40K. I regret that I have few pictures of them as some models are with me and others in storage. With that said, here is a Blight Enginseer I converted. He still needs greenstuff work and maybe some more servo skulls.

While gaming on ps4 last night and this morning with my son, in between games I managed to do a few conversions on some Inquisimunda / RT/ warband,

Not sure if they will be part of my House Ainfaust team or another House or even an Inquisitor retinue.

RETURN TO THE UNDERHIVE !!!!

With Necromunda and in full swing, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new boxed set. Starting with the Goliaths, I did some minor conversions using some old and new bitz to make them feel like my own and not just the standard box gang.


 
 

 

 

Once they are painted I will come up with Gang name, history and story. Had tons of fun building the new models as the kit is amazing and the new models are not only extremely detailed but also huge compared to the previous editions of House Goliath gangers.

House Van Saar Conversions

After spending much time arguing with myself over how I was going to paint these Van Saars, I decided to have a look through my Necromunda archives of Holy Art. I settled on this color color scheme based on the art from Gang War issue #5. Even though the gang in the art was supposed to be from the Spider Clan, I thought Van Saars would look really cool in this old color scheme. Very Hive Gangerish circa 1992. Also ripped them off their boring sand bases and placed them on resin tech deck bases from Evil Mushroom Games. 

They need a few more gangers, but they are ready to scrap in the Underhive.

Once, I was a cop...a Road Warrior....

I have been obsessing over making some Fury Road minis lately, so I decided to give the paints a break and add to my Mad Max model collection. I got the bug even worse after seeing what others were doing on both the facebook GorkaMorka page and the Yaktribe gaming Mad Max challenge.

Here are a some goodies on working on. Needs more work, but so far, so good.

War Boy

Polecat

Citadel Guard 

Imperator 

Fury Road Max

I also scored these awesome Hot Wheels from Ebay and the market near my girlfriends house.

Waiting on my upgrade kits from Brigade Games to make the Falcon into Maxs Interceptor !

WORK BENCH

I've been thinking about doing Van Saar conversions for Necromunda for a long time now. Especially since the models are super hard to come by. I couldn't find any companies that made 28mm stillsuit type models, and its been bothering me. Never did like using Space Marine scouts or Cadians as a base for them, so I found some old Urban War Vasa Suppressor models and gave em the old head swap and weapon change.

Sabbath Hobby Sabbath

Oi oi oi !

Here's what I've been up to :

Gungryn for my Inquisitor Henchman team

Imperial Sniper or maybe Ash Wastes Im not sure yet.

Zealot/ War priest

Commissar

Some IG scouts/Mercs I dunno

THE WORK BENCH

Just finished up converting a five man Pre Heresy Scout squad for a commission ( you know who you are ). As requested they will have the mohawk/crew cut/pony tail , like the old RT/Space Crusade era scouts and lots of shotguns !

I used the old plastic Goliath figures and the standard scout sprue and some Catachan heads with odd bitz here and there and minor green stuffing.

Still need to clean them up a bit but other wise it is time to primer and then get cracking on the next five. I really like the way came out and can't wait to paint them and use some the weathering powders.

CUSTOM GI JOES

A long time passion of mine has found it's way onto my work bench and display shelves.

I have finally put paint to some of my customized GI JOES. I must say that the GW paints are not good for action figures but it's all I have at the moment.

First up is my custom Steel Brigade officer. I always wanted to update the Steel Brigade and thought Wet Suits helmet looked pretty futuristic.

I used Dial Tone's torso and legs, Wet Suit head and helmet, Darklon waist, Tunnel Rat arms.

And here is Over Lord mild custom, no paint just swapped his torso with Cobra Commander. In the background is my version of Major Bludd possibly before he was murdered in Resolute- (sorry for the bad pics- will take better ones soon) as well as a Cobra Viper in Resolute colors.

Customs lined up to be completed are:

Mad Max - post Thunderdome

some Road Warrior style bad guys

Covert Ops Team with JOES and Cobra traders

I will continue with 40k and Necromunda related models in the next post- so think if this as a intermission. Please, questions, comments and criticism appreciated.
