Cheers, there are another five and patriarch to add to this lot

[–] Doctor_Spork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Cheers.

These were the first four that I did for a game of Necromunda at BOYL, So the rest should end up looking like them.

 

Painting my space wizard was a fun little distraction, but genestealers don't paint themselves.

I've got my infantry base coated so it's time to give them a good wash.

And I've got a little squat that Chris at Ontos Games gave me at BOYL for when I'm sick of batch painting cultists.

 

Josh was kind enough to invite me on to discuss my first white dwarf, issue 169 with the cardboard battle bunker. So if you have 20 minutes to waste why not give it a watch.

I should be up for that, I've really been getting into the swing of things with my painting recently.

 

Been working away on these pair for a while. After seeing how much it was going to cost to buy an original I decided to make my own. One is inspired by the classic kit, the other by the original scratch built model from the Rogue Trader rule book. Both were printed on my Ender 3 with no supports.

They are available on my Cults3D page if anyone is interested.

Now I just need to get better at taking pictures

Not a chance, the new one is over twice the height of this fella

Another update on the Avatar, been working on a base for him as well.

 

I tidied up and uploaded my chaos predator proxy to cults3d. Like my chaos rhino this is inspired by the old Epicast model.

My version is designed to be easily printed in FDM and is available for download here https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/retro-evil-knight-battle-tank

Time permitting I would love to.

It's one of the reasons I take so ling to paint anything, there is something like six thin coats of white paint on them all.

Cheers. The Bezerkers are going to be part of an Emperors Children warband so I wanted them to have more colour than just red.

[–] Doctor_Spork@sopuli.xyz 5 points 5 months ago

Thanks. I modelled it in blender and was trying to mash up the old epicast model and the original rhino kit

[–] Doctor_Spork@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Lovely job, well done

 

I wanted a rhino for my bezerkers so they could chop up everyone up a bit quicker so decided to design my own.

This is inspired by the old Epicast Dark Army APC

If anyone with a 3D printer is after the files I have uploaded them to Cults3D page

Cheers, still work to do smoothing out that gradient though.

Before answering your questions I'd just like to say that you are off to a great start. The figure in the main picture has a good movement to it and feels like a natural pose.

  1. If you don't already keep a bits box. This should be where you keep spare parts from sprues or that you have cut off any models you have been kit bashing. I also chuck in things that might be useful that would otherwise end up in the bin, wire, mesh, tubes, scraps of plastic packaging that can be repurposed, just whatever you think might be useful.

  2. I use unscented Dettol. Leave plastic or metal in it overnight and use some fresh Dettol and a toothbrush to clean them up. Just be sure to put plenty of paper down underneath as the paint gunk dries and can pretty much only be cleaned up by scrubbing it with more Dettol.

  3. Looking at your other comments I would also recommend the Howling Griffons, but if you have a colour scheme that you think would look cool just use that and make yourself a nice successor chapter. Personally one of the things I have always enjoyed about 40k is being able to make up your own lore.

One last piece of advice if you plan to do more sculpting with putty. Try getting your hands on some greenstuff, it is my modelling putty of choice and gives the best finished product in my opinion.

 

For all us old folks with a misty look in our eyes 😬

 

I made this fella when I go some pipe rollers from green stuff world.

 

This fella was an ebay rescue that came with so much paint on it that I wasn't sure if he was actually this model. So I stripped him and did my best to give him a new lease of life as the first of my Emperors Children.

And now he is my entry for the fedipaint painting contest over on Mastodon.

And boy are they bigger than I expected. Thanks @setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world, they are great but I have no idea where I will keep them.
