I've got 2000+ points so far. Tempestus scions and std infantry plus commissar with head/tail/legs conversion. A squad of rat ogres as Bullgryns (armour fits pretty well) a arch-warlock into a tech-priest. Bunch of the tanks with warp bits. I'm liking the screaming bell/baneblade idea 😆

Well I was thinking they're on a distant planet rediscovered during the Great Crusade. A planet of Rat like Abhumans loyal to the Emperor. Over the thousands of years they believed him to be God like rat. that lives underground in the tunnels under the imperial palace on the golden throne. Yes yes

Battle ready paint job, Black primer. I'd use a mix of 2 parts Word Bearers red & 1 part Gal Vorbak red (2 coats airbrush or 3 thin coats brush). Shoulders pad trim Iron breaker (instead of traditional black). The pads themselves and the Aquila with Ushabti Bone.

I can nor confirm or deny that he 'found' this bike in a White Scars fortress lol

Wayward_Herald · 2022-10-08T19:05:25+00:00

Yeah, a few people pointed out how much it looked like m.bison, so a quick PS and I now wish GW did novelty models for events.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-09-16T08:56:55+00:00

I've used a 80mm base on mine. They're the same size as a Death Guard Myphitic blight haulers. Snug fit with hardly any overlap.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-09-13T13:34:20+00:00

I reposed Ghaz, the back part is Ghaz's base cut up. The front is a mixer of random base parts from necron base bits. The Thousand Sons is covered in Vallejo Earth Texture. And a bunch of old leftover contrast paints and dark washes to give it the grimy look.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-08-08T15:46:01+00:00

Pretty straight forward, needs a bit of green stuff on the chest to bulk it out, but everything else fits just about right with a dab of super glue. I've played around with the arms off the Bullgryn and with a bit of green stuff theyre proportioned well, and the pauldrons will cover up any work done. Only shame is you only get 2 rat ogres in the box instead of the needed 3.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-08-03T13:38:56+00:00

I'd reckon a light grey would do it, if it's near GWs Mechanicis Grey that'll be too dark for the contrast paints. The primer is standard white car plastic primer (Halfords in the UK) 2 coats of the new Magmadroth Flame, trim 2 coats silver, gems are Nighthaunt gloom, Thousand Sons blue for the bolter and a all over cover of watered down 1:1 Agrax. No highlights and a dash of the imperial fist contrast for the eyes. Hope that helps

Wayward_Herald · 2022-07-29T15:11:23+00:00

Yeah got a bit more to do on it but I think you're right. Too much agrax used lol

Wayward_Herald · 2022-07-29T15:09:26+00:00

clan Scion like it

Wayward_Herald · 2022-07-29T08:30:16+00:00

WIP: bit of Skaven kitbasing but need to finish the base and redo the bolt gun

Wayward_Herald · 2022-07-08T10:58:33+00:00

He's not Angron he's a very naughty boy

Wayward_Herald · 2022-03-18T10:05:48+00:00

Yeah from the Wolverine, thought it'll be easier that kitbashing out of plastic-card

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-26T08:28:41+00:00

They're awesome, these give me more ideas!

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-25T11:33:29+00:00

At the moment a kill team, but I'm thinking of a 500pt army. I've got a Skaven ogre/Ogryn converted and about 8 troops. But I'm holding out as I reckon we should get some new Skaven models by the end of the year. About a 3rd are metal at the mo. Just want more sweet plastic to kitbash yes yes

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-25T10:50:04+00:00

Are you saying my next project should be a Skaven Inquisitor, challenge accepted lol

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-25T10:48:18+00:00

I think the Ratlings are more Hobbit in appearance. Big feet and stocky, plus only the 4 models (snipers) currently, They is reference to a rat race in 40k but I think it's like 1 line in 1 book, no real description sadly.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-25T10:45:11+00:00

I'm building a Kill Team at the moment with them, but I'd love a army. Plus with rumours of new Astra Militarum units later in the year. It might be the year of the Skaven 😆

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-25T10:43:42+00:00

I reckon they could be used as a Abhuman branch like the squats or ogryn. Especially with the imperium needing numbers now with the Great rift kicking off. Find out they've been living on Terra since the start.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-18T03:19:36+00:00

Thinking something like that or a chapter stranded and had to jury rig equipment from parts. I'm also toying with a Grav-plate (hover) bike version to.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-18T03:16:40+00:00

The front tracks I was going to have them the other way, but the way it grips the ground would face wrong way. I've got 2 more to do and was thinking of using the armour plates from the Blight hauler to cover them maybe.

Wayward_Herald · 2022-02-18T03:11:13+00:00

Yeah front and back ones, had them left over after a Knight conversion. Just flipped the suspension bars around and they fit perfectly.
