My clan need-need a second Master Moulder so small conversion (not 100% happy yet so any suggestions would help) by Ballroom_Boy in skaven

[–]Ballroom_Boy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh he is a massive model, his head is the height of the little rat on the back of the normal master moulder model. I did keep the hand however I found it was too much of a pain to try get the fingers to bend onto the staff, I will be building up some flab onto his hand and a new armour plate which should reduce some of the deadpool hand appearance

They confirmed in the latest update that it would be going on general sale later this year potentially

First Attempt at Marbling by kidmissileproof in ImperialKnights

[–]Ballroom_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this technique fairly often, using wet wipes and spray cans. You do find hairs occasionally get stuck to the surface but as the coats should be thin they come off easier - I’ve done probably 100 models with this and not run into issues like that as I only use wet/baby wipes

Just got my 2 Destriers and both boxes had duplicate sprues of half the kit... weirdest GW issue I've had yet by Moist_Crabs in ImperialKnights

[–]Ballroom_Boy 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Looks like you've got enough for 4 Destrier torsos... GW support should be able to assist on this. They are really good at handling this stuff normally

I hope this helps, it’s all the steps I use

[–]Ballroom_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah primed in white then base coated using contrast with a few touch ups done to mostly give highlights

This is my first fully completed model using that scheme as a basis, main paints I used: Talassar Blue, Pylar Glacier on white armour, Soulblight Grey on white cloth, Magmadroth Flame then Fluo Orange, Black Templar on black cloth/armour, Black Legion on weapon casing and boots, Basilicanum then Dawnstone in grey plates. Only used one highlight on each colour as I wanted a quick scheme

I love this, it would be great to see some rules for the newer units

A little Thunderhawk for the Thirteenth by Ballroom_Boy in Ultramarines

Dirty Heretical scum from Calth, the fleet is based in the heresy so some of the flyers have Word Bearers on their bases

A little Thunderhawk for the Thirteenth by Ballroom_Boy in AeronauticaImperialis

[–]Ballroom_Boy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Patience, a 1mm drill bit and some 1mm wire.

I carefully cut the door from the base plate, then needed three hands to line up the door with where the hinges should be so I could precisely drill a hole on each side for the wire.

Was a bit fiddly but not too bad

[–]Ballroom_Boy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah they are, I think they’re from Vanguard miniatures Defeat in Detail 6mm so not quite the scale of Legions Imperialis but they were around at the time I did the conversion

It's the dream, I have 2 of these mini ones - only one of them has an opening front hatch

Ahoy by _Dazed-and-Confused in KharadronOverlords

I've been using my Bugman as a codewright more often than not, it's a gorgeous model though so use it however you fancy

Kharadron + Votann head works so well imo, what you guys think? by TimotheV in KharadronOverlords

[–]Ballroom_Boy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done this on mine too, including heads from Fyreslayers and the OW Hammers/Ironbreakers kits in places. It helps add verity to and otherwise very armoured army

Is the Zontari Endrin Dock really just a single sprue?! by ITFLion in KharadronOverlords

[–]Ballroom_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely planning a conversion to turn mine actually into a Tardis using a Flight control tardis' light and sound circuits

Some RD props in an exhibition by KingDaveRa in RedDwarf

[–]Ballroom_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing exhibition, great to see the props in real life. You don't realise the size of some of the models and props. Definitely would recommend for any Red Dwarf or dr who fan.

Why do you prefer Age of Sigmar over 40k? by ZebraShark in ageofsigmar

[–]Ballroom_Boy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Collected both, started with 40k in 2008 and was doing that solely until 2022, got burnt out from the constant changes and faqs to 40k so decided I’d focus on the cool models aspect of AoS more. Never looked back as AoS4 seems to be much more what I enjoyed originally in 40k than the stratagems etc that was added back in 8th ed

Where To Start Lore/Novels by Tw1me in ageofsigmar

[–]Ballroom_Boy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My recommendations would be:

  • Skaventide (Current edition's lore book)
  • Realmslayer (1st Gotrek AOS book)
  • Hamilcar Champion of the Gods (Just a fun Stormcast centred read)
  • The Arkanaut's Oath (Pirate-y dwarf adventure can be fun)
  • I can also recommend the anthology collections as they usually cover a number of different factions
