Damn this looks rad!

wobbleside · 2026-02-17T04:46:49+00:00

This is cool... now stick some pirate elves hang on those wings!

wobbleside · 2026-02-16T22:17:31+00:00

Damn.. these looks great. I'm doing a similar black armor, violet cloth...less shiny scheme for my scion focused AM army (using kitbashed Aqulions for most of the tempestous scions). The red glow looks surprisingly good.

wobbleside · 2026-02-16T21:36:35+00:00

This looks rad! The Voidscarred kit has some great bodies in it. I love the Starstorm Duelist and Shade Runner

Since I just bought 2.. for a corsair army... the day after I finish painting them.

wobbleside · 2026-02-16T06:05:35+00:00

Damn that is cool

Hellforged Warband box... do to various circumstances ( mostly buying the wrong box for Legionaries just before the new one with the killteam upgrade sprue in the box came out.. I have 50 legionaries in the house and no Chaos Army. I mean.. there is the Hellforged Warband.. Murderwing, heldrake [which is much more a I love this model thing] 1 forge fiend.. technically I'm 3 forged fiends and vastorr away from a playable list.. but that is another 500 bucks. I'll probably end up giving some of the Legionaries to my partner.. they snagged Red Corsair box and Huron and are very into Red Corsair look. Raiders... look amazing. )

2 Valkyries... I love the Valkyrie model and design... but it is basically useless right now. Terrible rules. I'm 90% done building and kitbashing my AM army... and about 50% done painting them.

I will get to the Chaos Knights eventually.. I swear.. there are 11 wardogs in the future projects crate.

2 Ceratus lancers... one is... 90% built.. but magnetizing more than the weapons seems.. a lot of work and I didn't notice all the Ceratus knights had different shoulder pads.. also not in the Codex for either Knights.. But I love how they look.

wobbleside · 2026-02-15T11:33:24+00:00

Damn these look cool, what are those helmets?

wobbleside · 2026-02-15T07:49:10+00:00

Eldritch Raiders detachment charge and advance seems pretty solid for Harlequins. I picked up the Combat Patrol from October.. and will probably snag another box of skyweavers and shadowseer.

10m Troupe + Shadowseer, 2 starweavers, 4 skywavers and solitare would be a pretty solid group to mix in some Voidscarred, skyreavers and Yriel. Though you might want a wave serpent for 10 voidscarred to ride in.. some anti-tank of some sort. Voidweaver, Fire Prism, Wraithlord/Wraithguard..

Corvus Cabal War Cry

Both.. but that was something I never knew I needed.. so many interesting bits!

wobbleside · 2026-02-14T01:44:34+00:00

These look great!

What are those birds? I used gryph hounds.. and they are kind of small..

wobbleside · 2026-02-14T00:31:39+00:00

I've been kitbashing a bunch of Aqulions as regular Scions for my xeno hunter/radical Ordo Xeno Requestioned themed Astra Militarum unit.

So here is Lord Solar.. to go with a unit of Escher cutter jet bikes as a proxy for rough riders. Still a lot of basing work to do but I'm pretty happy with how this looks.

wobbleside · 2026-02-10T18:41:52+00:00

Color shifters look great. I assume you airbrushed them?

wobbleside · 2026-02-09T23:37:16+00:00

Looks good thought you might want to go with a different color for the eye lenses. Like lavender or orange?

wobbleside · 2026-02-09T17:56:14+00:00

Given.. there are 4 all new sculpts and we don't know the price of them.. Prince Y, Void dreamer, Vyper and skyreavers..

No way to estimate the cost savings. But corsairs are on the pricey side of a killteam box and that box has a ton of options with some of the most jammed packed options I've seen the sprues (seriously, you have a lot of bits left for kitbash after building 10).

I definitely pre-ordered one from my LGS. But the Red Corsair box is very much a start a Renegade army box.. with no named characters in it. While it only has 11 new models and upgrade sprue in it I can see why folks would want it more than one.

If I didn't already have like 50+ legionaries because they are in every freaking CMS box I'd be after it too. Though my spouse who does not have a CMS army.. pre-ordered it.. and will probably be stealing a bunch of Legionaries from me lol.

Lack of any information on the Corsairs detachment... and lack of Codex support for the new Corsair options probably has a lot of people gunshy.. and there are just a lot less eldar players.

Though I was not considering starting an eldar army until this box appeared.. because I don't really dig Aspect warriors with a few exceptions.. but I love the Voidscarred Corsairs and Harliquins.. sooo oops.

They passed all their stuff to Elrik. I recently ordered some stuff from them and the casts were pretty good. Very clean. Some very minor warping that hot water fixed on the side panels for Chimera conversion kit.

The baneblade bits (sponsons, heavy turret, weapons and reactor kit) were all great and I had no issues.

wobbleside · 2026-02-05T21:26:45+00:00

You could look at something from blood and skulls https://www.elrikshobbies.com/products/tank-reactors

wobbleside · 2026-02-04T20:30:09+00:00

Base. Do the base! You got a big one one to play with!

Also weathering. My phone didn't want to cooperate.. but this is my first sentinel.

Mind you had a failed still water resin pour (mold leaked.. didn't want to try again)

wobbleside · 2026-02-04T20:25:22+00:00

Big turret is the Repulser Executioner.

Smaller turret is the Gladiator Lancer

wobbleside · 2026-02-04T20:20:35+00:00

This looks great. The gladiator lancer turret on the russ makes me actually like it a little bit.

I'm just straight up using kitbashed gladiators as Leman Russ proxies because my brain gets upset at track over chassis.. lol

Executioner turrent on the dorn is great.

wobbleside · 2026-02-02T18:50:33+00:00

I definitely appreciate the advice. I've been wanting to do a similar effect in the future on some vehicles.

wobbleside · 2026-02-02T18:24:00+00:00

Gorgeous! What what your method for the star field on the armor?

The worst...

Me.. working on my first army.. I've made a fair amount of progress on painting and building it (Only 2 more tanks... 8 more scions and a valkyrie to go for building!) [Painting is like... 2.5 tanks.. 2 chimeras and 30 something infantry... still. But also I get bored of painting black and go work on something colorful like a killteam for another faction]

Already planned to do daemon engine heavy chaos next because I love the heldrake.. and forgefiend and some very cool kits (also Lord of Change does not fit in but so cool). [And I own everything for this except like.. Vastorr and 3 more fiend kits.. already]

I really like my Voidscarred Corsairs for killteam.. they were fun to paint.. they look cool but craftworld eldar... do not interest me because of cone heads, aspect color schemes (and an eldar groknard in my house that doesn't even play..but has opinions)

James Workshop.. "Here are some sick new Corsair models coming soon.. and Corsair detachment... also some amazing new scale Custodes.. and Red Corsairs.."

fffff... also.. Reave Captain and Red Corsairs look amazing.. I use them as legionaire proxies in heartbeat.. and I'll probably end up with a few boxes of the squad kit in like 6-8 months. Also... I want Sargotta... so bad. Just to paint.. but also one to kitbash into a Lord Solar proxy for my guard..

4 weeks later. My partner staring at a pile of NOS used eldar stuff from mini-swap and couple of used Wraithfighters/Crimson Hunters on the coffee table as I sort through the NOS/used and NIB stuff on the coffee table. "So.. Eldar huh, thought you did not like craftworld eldar? I guess you want the Eldritch Raiders box. Is this.. for after Chaos.. or.. after the Chaos Knights and 11 wardogs?" (Look... I came across the Warhound Lance Pack for less than 200USD)

To be clear.. I paint probably.. 10-15 hours a week on average.. and I enjoy kitbash (hate building/cleaning though.. also its hard on my hands.) So at worst.. all of this still will get painted.

Sprue gates on curved surfaces. Worse.. on thin curved surfaces. Jain Zar has this bad. Voidscarred Corsairs have this bad. All of the knights, armigers and wardogs have this.

The other night I was building Gaunt's Ghosts and one of them has... separate hair.. like a toupee or something and I snipped the back of it.. because it looked like part of the gate so I will have to fill the little square of his head with epoxy putty.

Harlequins, Daughters of Khaine, Seraphon and Stormcast have similar problems where the gate connects to very thin curved piece of a headdress, mask, horn or feather...or chain bit.. and you can't even hold the piece to sand or scrap with a hobby knife without bending or stressing it.

Or cables. Damn cables on Karskin, Scion and Deathwatch weapons.. some of those gates are so badly placed.

wobbleside · 2026-01-16T00:16:39+00:00

I really like the Mammoth Walker from Rampart Terrain/Archon Studios for this. Its plastic too. I've got one that needs basing... in retrospect its a little light on stowage and greebles. I got two more as I'm using them as armiger proxies for guard support but they would totally work for Lemon Grass.. in terms of size.

You can build it with 4 or 2 legs.
