Adeptus Arbite and Penal Legion

Using bits from various sources I built a test model for an Adeptus Arbite and some penal legionaries.
The power maul and riot shields are actually two items I designed for MaxMini so I wanted to see how they looked.  I used Maxmini legs, torso and head.  The arms are from FW enforcers and militias with a hand added on to hold the shield.

The penal legion is just Victoria Lambs penal legion torsos and legs, her arms and the heads are from Maxmini.  Victoria Lamb makes some penal legion heads which look good but I wanted to try out the new heads from Maxmini,

Chaos Space Marine Raptors

Before the new CSM Raptors came out I had built my own.  I really didn't care for the older ones and I just wanted CSM with jump packs.  I wanted them to be followers of khorne.  I finally finished putting them together.  The jump packs are from maxmini (yes I love their bits).  Oh yeah, I also used their Nuclear Guns for my melta guns.

I think they turned out pretty good.  The new rules for them with the mark of Khorne and the Icon make them pretty fast and hard hitting.








Yar! Here be pirate grots!

I picked up a packed of pirate goblin heads from maxmini recently.  I wasn't sure if they were for the WFB goblins or the newer 40k grots.  Turns out they fit the grots and look pretty nice.  The box set comes with 10 grots, 7 of which can be head swapped.  The other three grots actually fit in good with the pirates though.  I'm quite happy with these little buggers.  Now to get those pirate orks in shape...

Punk Rock Orks

I've been rebuilding my ork army after trading it off a while back.  The latest unit I've been working on are some punk rock orks.  The heads are from Spell crow, legs and torsos are from Kromlech and the arms are standard GW ork boyz arms.

OOP Daemons army for sale

Been a while since I've had time to do much hobby stuff.  I've decided to unload my 40k Chaos Daemons army.  Its an army made up entirely of Tzeench and Slaanesh models.  All are now OOP with the releases coming out next week except for the Masque and Herald of Tzeench.  All the figures are metal as well and in perfect condition with all the bits present.  The daemonettes are the Juan Diaz sculpts which are just beautiful.  They are the reason I kept the army around for so long despite not using it a whole lot and never fully assembling it.  Anyway, its a fun army and will look fantastic once it painted up.

If you want to check it you can find it here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/280933205836?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_522wt_1396

Hopefully I will have some new stuff soon.  I am getting a 2 week reprieve while my wife and oldest son take a trip to Oregon.  I can't go because I just recently changed jobs and have no vacation time.  So I plan to make the most of it.  I've got a few project in mind.  Great coat orks, more necrons, some new chaos now that allies are back in and a few other odds and end.

Thanks,

The Grot Rebellion advances

I picked up 60 Warhammer fantasy goblins a while back. 1 box of regular goblins and 2 boxes of the OOP night goblins. The new night goblins are terrible in my opinion. I did some initial test models for the grot rebellion army. What do you think? Officer and his two buddies.

Maxmini Plaguebringer

I picked up the Maxmini Plaguebringer when I ordered the Rotten Puppets. He's a great figure! I love all the detail, the pose, very menacing. He would work great as a herald of Nurgle or a Nurgle lord. This pic shows him with the traitor guard and the rotton puppets to give a good scale pic.

Maxmini Rotten Puppets

I picked up some Maxmini Rotten puppets to see how the would work as nurglings or lesser daemons. I rally like them, they have a lot of character and a variety of sizes. Here's a couple of pics with traitor guard to get an idea of scale.

New Chaos Renegade Militia troopers

I plan to run these as either veterans or storm troopers. Probably just veterans as their guns don't really look like high power hellguns. The legs, torsos and heads are from Maxmini and the arms are from Forge World.

Necrons on the move

I've been making some headway on the Necrons. I decided to go with the bone color, after base coating and weathering and highlighting them all metallic. Oh dear what a chore. Oh well.
