It started out with me starting and finishing my Death Guard Kill Team in january - and getting so excited about actually getting something painted, that I proudly proclaimed to Allan that my goal for 2023 was to paint a Kill Team each month (which I would, of course, miserably fail to do). However, it was motivation enough that I've actually started and finished 5(!) whole Kill Teams this year. By the way, the reasonable thing to do would of course be to just go ahead and paint some of the 6+ already built Kill Teams I have on my shelf of potential (I refuse to call it shelf of shame!), but being the mad kitbasher I am, I had to build all the teams beside the Nurgle legionaries I've painted this year too! (The truth is, that me being ever the hobby-butterfly, my motivation to paint is so much improved when I build something new and exciting, so I decided to just go with it.) Here they are: <br /><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWWKThsvZ6ffRfMa-AG3T7oCbtWU5UPNVefJplNrCS5zFOvJfSa282iH0fDlkcq6fIRisBU5YrqsdCttyP9vw44CR-UEkHfV-mo5ZNa2vnGyJPYrR9d1ynIAfevFiPukjBbeb-eAU1AlIQYI9YgqA74fCiIaI0QBvLnBaEjhPDrCCScTExgn3a8EXuIpg/s3490/IMG_8884.heic" style="margin-left: auto;

Why? Because I wanted a open board table setup, that isn't as locked or claustrophobic as my Zone Mortalis board. The reason why I've chosen the old CoD is because of the height of it. While the new Sector Imperialis terrain looks amazing, each level is 5" tall. That may be great for 40k, so big monsters and Dreadnoughts can walk under it, but I find it much too tall for Kill Team.

When they are done, I probably should get my terrain together, but there's also the Gellerpox calling to me, and I have a great idea (at least on paper) for a speedpaint scheme for my Hand of The Archon team...

I never saw the reason why anyone liked the Word Bearers though. Since reading Anthony Reynolds' Word Bearer trilogy about ten years ago, they've been my favourite legion. No other legion are as evil, fanatic, religiously devout and well... Chaotic as the Word Bearers. They have preachers, possessed, grisly trophies, they use torture, build gigantic shrines using ground up mortals as mortar... What more could you want from a traitor legion? </div><div> <br />I built a Word Bearers team at the launch of Kill Team '21. They were fine, but I find that in order to really get bitten by a project, I have to LOVE the miniatures. So, since getting quite a few cool teams done this year, I thought it was time to reboot them and make an AWESOME Word Bearers team, to be my go-to team.</div><div> <br />I think I've accomplished that - at least in my own opinion. I can't wait to start painting them, and I really like the look of every single model.</div><div>From left to right: <br />First Acolyte Ereshkigal, Icon Bearer Garash, Plasma Gunner Eshkar, Coryphaeus Kor Gahal, Possessed Torek Rak'Shal, Shrivetalon Tilhar and Heavy Gunner Serakh.</div><div> <br />(They should be pretty self explanatory, except the guy with lightning claws - he counts as a Shrivetalon. The Icon Bearer is holding a "Heavy Bolter Lite" (Bolter with Tainted Rounds)<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKMLZvCkBiqoiMIFinhL-BR6S4mxeeVcAp3bDfvggXRztLIWxzJGoGMthrv5tw7tQuUjJxD13RPZZk2tyFZdGSulX8gM2MhHq2hWq1PzDQ583yiqYB3x7TBooWkAL8t1EccHXNTENyI2GBU2OnkFSvrDnmwDl8LMOratsSxRMSbhJpu7PgAplyHTquRVk/s3956/IMG_2231.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

They're finally done!<div> <br />Prologue:</div><div><br />I kind of like Strike Team Justian - but I already HAVE ONE Space Marine KT (my White Templars - Intercession). So I decided to do something different. Since I am knee deep in “Counts as”-Kill Teams already, I figured one more couldn’t hurt - right?</div><div><br />The team is lead by Ordo Malleus Inquisitrix Ivana Fyodorova (Captain Justian - her thunder hammer, Izgonját, represents the Power Fist). Probably 30-40 standard Terran years older than her looks lead one to believe, thanks to rejuvanat treatments, she is an experienced Inquisitor, who tirelessly hunts the Daemon and the Heretic.</div><div><br />Furthermore, she employs the Vindicare Assassin ‘Tarim’ (Eliminator) and a hulking brute of a close combat servitor, designation ‘Gedeon-527’ (Assault Marine), enhanced far beyond their usual combat capabilities, gifted to her by a Mechanicus Magos as a token of gratitude for banishing a cohort of data daemons many years prior.</div><div> <br />Furthermore, she is joined by a retinue of 3 Astartes of the Exorcists chapter, who regularly sends aid to Inquisitors, due to their close bond to the Inquisition, Malleus in particular. These are Sergeant Lysos, Heavy Gunner Brother Asheras and Brother Daecath.</div><div><br /></div><div>Painting them was a bit of a mixed bag - I've found a recipe for painting red, that I really enjoy (I cannot stand bright red, always been more partial to a burgundy tone), but the very clean Eavy Metal-esque style takes forever, and I'm not sure I really like the result as much as my usual, a little grimier style. However, the vials on the servitor and the active camo/cloaking effect on the assassin was lots of fun to try. </div><div><br /></div><div><br />I hope you like them!</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgalRWIUvmmNNPI6JNCX3Y5C6I3463M40QRCGPuUzJNa7cE0DDRUXCGEF3tBVaDvKKe_NWPE1msZBgxoALI0t6cWlWP8NTHCMATP7aGceyNMU4FtrRI_YlIo2ypkdzc49c7pvjUuFUy3BwtUwo3bldpKdloBl_PZ_jPhr1RkHwqcPup6PsK-XvCRekya14/s4032/IMG_2203.heic" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" data-original-height="2134" data-original-width="4032" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgalRWIUvmmNNPI6JNCX3Y5C6I3463M40QRCGPuUzJNa7cE0DDRUXCGEF3tBVaDvKKe_NWPE1msZBgxoALI0t6cWlWP8NTHCMATP7aGceyNMU4FtrRI_YlIo2ypkdzc49c7pvjUuFUy3BwtUwo3bldpKdloBl_PZ_jPhr1RkHwqcPup6PsK-XvCRekya14/w640-h338/IMG_2203.heic" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine.”<br />I've been working on a Mechanicus Kill Team. Problem is, I don't find the Hunter Clade very inspiring. I know they're pretty good ruleswise, but I felt like I wanted something more - the Hunter Clade feels a bit like a "slightly better than human" team to me, and I wanted to convey the weirdness that is AdMech - big robots, strange combat-automatas, etc.<br /><br /><br />I know it's a bit of a stretch, but the closest thing I could find to what I wanted was actually Hive Fleet (Tyranids). They have big guys, smaller warriors and Synapse rules, which convey noosphere communication pretty well, IMO.<br />Without further ado - here they are:<br />Magos Rho Verulac, flanked by the two Confrontation-Class Combat Automatas, W4LL4C3 and 6R0M1T (Tyranid Warrior Leader, Warrior and Gunner) and 5 Electro-Gheists (Genestealers)<br /><br /><br />They were NOT a speed paint project like my Necrons, but I really like the result, and the muted red tones combined with the green glow. <br /><br /><br />Rho Verulac is based on Belisarius Cawl, mostly with parts removed from him (the original model is a mess, imo), the Automatas are Necromunda Enforcer Automatas, with shoulders removed, lots of reposing, and a new head from some Necron vehicle, and the Electro-Gheists are Nighthaunt bladegheists, with arms from ruststalkers, Puppetswar heads and Electropriests generator backpacks, wires and halos. <div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a" style="caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, ".SFNSText-Regular", sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzyrXIX5GLTIX7B3hQr_2yC4hCFEL5ZNhyphenhyphenp2vMDvKakimCSfDTT-JZA_H_idH-H-fgcuVS9rg5T-P_8Widn-wcBvi2BtIhaGps7i7eNNuF5-Bx016l90D7pfPjmDHp5SAgB25NmsjObsl8kr2oWTKLwDIvrvv2__6MRVpPN6uAAGPDnb6qf0sfWQ4Sv8/s4032/IMG_1627.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2497" data-original-width="4032" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVzyrXIX5GLTIX7B3hQr_2yC4hCFEL5ZNhyphenhyphenp2vMDvKakimCSfDTT-JZA_H_idH-H-fgcuVS9rg5T-P_8Widn-wcBvi2BtIhaGps7i7eNNuF5-Bx016l90D7pfPjmDHp5SAgB25NmsjObsl8kr2oWTKLwDIvrvv2__6MRVpPN6uAAGPDnb6qf0sfWQ4Sv8/w640-h396/IMG_1627.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-small;"><i>The whole Kill Team</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggN3mr9AqjRyqUa6GOz0QECHyqTcXp5RP5zDgV6ohkaG7Kjg0j6KHbJs-nHsUsbIy_ztgO1AXsoYoUz8Z46U85QQJ1iqy0aa9UzX73IjjCv2IFjp1wNfUskefpbDDGtKguxZ7PZ3K0kONHgIbWGpYy0OdO08rwuPb8Z8NDGlzrxMDgWb2LvU7vknYId6c/s4032/IMG_1628.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2164" data-original-width="4032" height="344" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggN3mr9AqjRyqUa6GOz0QECHyqTcXp5RP5zDgV6ohkaG7Kjg0j6KHbJs-nHsUsbIy_ztgO1AXsoYoUz8Z46U85QQJ1iqy0aa9UzX73IjjCv2IFjp1wNfUskefpbDDGtKguxZ7PZ3K0kONHgIbWGpYy0OdO08rwuPb8Z8NDGlzrxMDgWb2LvU7vknYId6c/w640-h344/IMG_1628.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-small;">Electro Gheists</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRurm4U0nFuGYyUmK_zJrEo6_smnB0NTcWoaLj1Fkjdee_hatSqwLGtS9dt78eIqDTkodXGcng4DBBoiC_EIVKc-jAZ0BB9oNx4OcEE6MZ-lt_NIzYAWrp-WDgUzFqckkAzXNOGYK2FOCMbDO8g6j7MwKTiz12oH-XjIK-2p35auQ44IWz50t4yynGk0/s3746/IMG_1633.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="3746" height="388" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVRurm4U0nFuGYyUmK_zJrEo6_smnB0NTcWoaLj1Fkjdee_hatSqwLGtS9dt78eIqDTkodXGcng4DBBoiC_EIVKc-jAZ0BB9oNx4OcEE6MZ-lt_NIzYAWrp-WDgUzFqckkAzXNOGYK2FOCMbDO8g6j7MwKTiz12oH-XjIK-2p35auQ44IWz50t4yynGk0/w640-h388/IMG_1633.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: x-small;">Magos Rho Verulac and Confrontation-Class Combat Automatas</span></i></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></div></div></div>GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-215482156342115402023-10-16T23:00:00.005+02:002023-10-16T23:00:59.457+02:00<p> I’ve done it! Painted a Kill Team in less than a week! That’s a first for me. </p><p>I got really inspired by the Pariah Nexus animation on Warhammer+ and felt a sudden urge to make a Hierotek Circle Kill Team. I had 5 immortals lying about from an abandoned project a long time ago, and a royal warden plus various other bits from when the Indomitus box was the hottest new thing. I realised I only needed a cryptek to have a complete kill team, and an idea formed. </p><p>I’m not too crazy about the crypteks, except for the psychomancer - that miniature is amazing. On the other hand I’ve been thinking about the Hexmark since he came out, and wondering what I could use it for. I had the Psychomancer lying around (used the body for another project), and I bought a Hexmark and set about making a “mini Illuminor Szeras”. </p><p>The Deathmark needed to come out of a portal, courtesy of Pariah Nexus. That is just the coolest thing ever, and the ploy even lets me do it in the game. I sanded him flat on one side, mounted him on a thin piece of plasticard and tried my best to paint it like a portal. Originally I wanted it to be geometrical shapes, ala the animation, but I soon realised that there was no way I could paint neat geometrical shapes, with the Deathmark already glued to the portal. </p><p> I hope you like it - 5 nights (about 3-4 hours a night) - that’s definitely speed-paint for me (I usually spend a month or two on a Kill Team) and I quite like the look and the “pop” of the green glow. They’re primarily contrast on leadbelcher, except for the green, which is layed and glazed greens. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkL0NpfQXchTSRveHDUe94-5gnrHst_MsjFAxHL3cQn0QSCeK_7kP-lWpTNHHs9SxgCSrdrrSDDckdcBQAzg11LXKhdxkbycGlHtfuw_1d-Ah6sADTbE2SWoIMsWwmVJ8SusA-EWPpyv0iNpeocqbTW0YTzWqMWP94Pbp1X7teqY3UumNpUFZKXjCtIuI/s3920/IMG_1187.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Decisions, decisions... </p><p>Anyway, I've grown a bit tired of the same old black cardboard background I'm using, so this post was mainly an excuse to experiment a bit with a new backdrop. I think I like it, but I need to let it simmer for a while. </p><p>I was really excited when news of a bespoke Inquisition team broke, but the excitement became kinda "meh..." when I saw the miniatures; for a Kill Team practically dripping in potential character, the miniatures are pretty boring. Oh well, luckily I love building stuff, so armed with a roster, I began dreaming up some characterful (IMO) models. </p><p>The main part of the Kill Team: </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr-fYq5i9c73e1cH36hXYcWGWYDz7elWuJ5WA5eu8QJVTth2d1jDBaW1a5Fr8pA2A98jpB9sRaZOTUbwDn4QSCP85nxlxBiPQs7mT0FfLxpTmHzcngosKk1Mtt59hvArOLRqQHERpcneGjpRXYdxPOPcNxRz-atrEdXxMQpufnC5gqOAYPLaeC38FRGIo/s4032/IMG_0291.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2512" data-original-width="4032" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr-fYq5i9c73e1cH36hXYcWGWYDz7elWuJ5WA5eu8QJVTth2d1jDBaW1a5Fr8pA2A98jpB9sRaZOTUbwDn4QSCP85nxlxBiPQs7mT0FfLxpTmHzcngosKk1Mtt59hvArOLRqQHERpcneGjpRXYdxPOPcNxRz-atrEdXxMQpufnC5gqOAYPLaeC38FRGIo/w640-h398/IMG_0291.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Servitor, Mystic, Interrogator, Death World Veteran, Pistolier, Questkeeper</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg16-9CeHmh-HB-J5bG_-YmtRY0lYYA9jitv0QXp7o7oSyrwStjnIYMtTrQxDPYUQATocTV5XYhsvv_yWXMMexoS6a7OEqxddBXCaUPymhOambNgaAnD4Gqyn0kPzzVqXN1Jfb2mJzdAnvQlH3DxATTwnKxa141LGR9gUtJTlsUikp-vRtTc969iRfJQfw/s3475/IMG_0296.heic" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2211" data-original-width="3475" height="408" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg16-9CeHmh-HB-J5bG_-YmtRY0lYYA9jitv0QXp7o7oSyrwStjnIYMtTrQxDPYUQATocTV5XYhsvv_yWXMMexoS6a7OEqxddBXCaUPymhOambNgaAnD4Gqyn0kPzzVqXN1Jfb2mJzdAnvQlH3DxATTwnKxa141LGR9gUtJTlsUikp-vRtTc969iRfJQfw/w640-h408/IMG_0296.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Kasrkin) Gunner, Vox-Trooper, Recon-Trooper, Medic, Sharpshooter</i></span></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-42485201517832640652023-08-06T22:33:00.007+02:002023-08-07T22:41:58.355+02:00A reboot - of a sort. <p><b>Dear readers of this blog - it's time for a change. </b></p><p>If you are a regular visitor, you'll know that I'm horrible at updating. Sometimes it's a few days between updates, sometimes it's a year. Such is life, when you are swamped with tiny humans craving attention, care and even food, and you are trying to fit some hobby-time into your life as well - then updating the blog is pretty far down the list. </p><p>Another de-motivational factor is the lack of interaction as well. I recieve very few comments here, and 95% of them are useless spam. Therefore, I've decided to deactive comments - it's just useless clutter. </p><p>Most of the interaction one gets these days, on hobby posts, are on social media. I've tried to hop on that bandwagon as well, as you can see here to the right (Facebook and Instagram). </p><p>As such, the SoMe platforms are where we are doing our comments, interactions with questions, etc, but this blog will be kept alive as an online picture gallery for the projects (which is nice to have, since FB and Instagram both have pretty bad image compression, and we like our nice hi-res pictures.)</p><p>So - please stop by our FB page or my Instagram profile, and leave a comment or two - and have fun browsing this site. I've tried to give it a bit of a facelift as well, as I grew a bit tired of the very dark theme. </p><p><br /></p><p>On another note, the crew is changing a bit. Andreas, while still a member of this blog, hasn't been active for quite a few years, and I need a Bitter Old Painter Partner-In-Crime to keep me motivated, so some time ago I approached a good buddy of mine, and he agreed to join. It's been quite some time ago, but we're only now really starting to get this motor running, so it's time for a proper introduction of... </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx61Ab5kc1zBefWgBLnDQC0CVhc8PVFl2SVb5K3AQh2YhCMChot4ap8htM925gfvZ9EIPb9DxnYdKIMzIOibIZc8E7XkGAJHHeFwlIKTv54wYN6yHPGxp9zHELqr_wKjNzlMCfSB_pTYhbbUdO9rFpudIKhlK5wJ5wTuLdW8czkT4C0vsgCRvPU2HE7ek/s400/DigitAllanIcon.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="162" data-original-width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx61Ab5kc1zBefWgBLnDQC0CVhc8PVFl2SVb5K3AQh2YhCMChot4ap8htM925gfvZ9EIPb9DxnYdKIMzIOibIZc8E7XkGAJHHeFwlIKTv54wYN6yHPGxp9zHELqr_wKjNzlMCfSB_pTYhbbUdO9rFpudIKhlK5wJ5wTuLdW8czkT4C0vsgCRvPU2HE7ek/s16000/DigitAllanIcon.png" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p><b>DigitAllan! </b></p><p>DigitAllan (or Allan, as I usually call him) is a great guy that I met a my workplace (a public school in Copenhagen) about ten years ago. It took a few years for us to realise that we're both miniature-geeks, but then our friendship took off. 3 years ago, Allan moved 300 km away, to a small town outside Aarhus, but if that #&€% Covid pandemic taught us anything, it is that social interaction can come in many forms. Thus, Allan, a few other cool dudes and myself regularly have Facetime painting sessions where we spar, critique and mostly goof around and joke with each other. It's a great way to keep motivation up, when sometimes it's so much easier to just get caught in some YouTube rabbithole. </p><p>Anyway, Allan is the new Bitter Old Painter to join the blog. I hope you'll enjoy his contributions, he's a really good painter and a ditto modeller, and I look forward to seeing what he comes up with as well. He'll write a few words about himself shortly. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>So what's in the future for Bitter Old Painters? </b></p><p>To be honest? We don't know. We'll try to make the updates happen somewhat regularly, but no promises made. This is a Hobby (with a capitol H) to both of us and motivation has a tendency to fluxuate. However, we are both very much enjoying GW's Kill Team 2021, and are playing lots of games, busy getting ideas for new teams and building and painting them - so expect a lot of 40k skirmish content in the future. Allan also has a weird infatuation with Blood Bowl (which he likes to play with his two boys), so we'll probably get some of that as well. </p><p>As for Warcry, I still really like it and I WILL get around to painting my warbands one day, but for now we're so inspired by Kill Team that it takes up most of the hobby time. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: medium;">Remember - always follow inspiration. </span></i></p><p>Best regards, and hoping to hear from you on FB or Instagram, </p><p>GuitaRasmus. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-22562864057190953502023-08-03T22:52:00.007+02:002023-08-07T23:43:22.132+02:00Blessid is the Omnissiah<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me.

I finished a project. That has to be the first time in a couple of years.<br />
<br />
It feels great, and I am really looking forward to fielding these guys in a Warcry game once these strange times hopefully soon takes a turn for the better.<br />
<br />
Without further ado, pics!<br />
<br />
(I apologise for the pic quality - for some reason my camera phone has difficulty taking pics of more than one painted miniature at a time - I have a new phone on the way, hopefully that will get better)<br />

<br />
Hey, what's this? A blog update less than a year since last time? Madness, I know. <br />
<br />
I wanted to share my latest Warband - Legions of Nagash. The conversions that are in here are pretty simple, but I particularly like the Liche leader and the Seneschals. <br />
<br />
Anyway, here they are; Drekhar the Risen and the shambling horde<br />
<br />
<i>Drekhar was once a necromancer of the Drak in Shyish. When Tamra ven Drak attracted Nagash' fury, by summoning the broken kings (which Nagash had imprisoned many centuries earlier) during the siege of the Rictus clans, in a desperate attempt to save her people, Nagash punished her by sucking out the lifeforce of all her people, the Drak, turning them into the undead, and made her a Deathlord, so she could forever protect them - a fitting punishment for her obsolence, in Nagash' twisted mindset.<br /><br />Shards of Drekhars spirit however, him already being a powerful necromancer in life, hung unto his emaciated corpse. During the coming years, the embers of his soul grew stronger, eventually becoming sentient and he eventually regained his power, becoming a liche in service of Tamra ven Drak. <br /><br />However, he sorely missed his brother, Draugan, them having been closely knit in life. Draugan was a physician in the Drak society, a man with the greatest respect for life and esteemed for his healing skills. Drekhar searched long and hard in the years to come, scouring the sea of souls for any sign of Draugans spirit - and at last he found him. He carefully siphoned out Draugan spirit, not to attract Nagash' attention. Alas, the Drak and their souls were being closely observed by Nagash, thanks to their leader Tamra being of interest in Nagash' eyes, and Nagash discovered the soul being siphoned out. Nagash, angered by the soultheft committed by Drekhar, decided to punish him - and so twisted and remade the gentle healers soul of Draugan into a being of pure evil, torment and cruelty. <br /><br />When Drekhars ritual of summoning was completed, the skeleton body which Drekhar had prepared by scrimshawing every bone himself lay motionless. Instead a freezing cold engulfed his chambers, and through the shadows a coldhearted nighthaunt appeared - a Lord Executioner. Drekhar was heartbroken as he recognized the tattered remains of the its soul as his brother, but could not bring himself to banish it - now Draugan follows Drekhar and his undead warriors in Drekhars quest to undo the curse Nagash has brought upon his brother. </i><br />

The warband consists of Drekhar the Risen, liche (necromancer), his brother Draugan (Lord Executioner ally), his two guards (Seneschals) and 6 skeleton warriors.<br />

<br />
I've also been a busy little bee, and constructed myself a gaming table. For the last few weeks I've been working on a dedicated skirmish gaming table for my man cave - (not that this has taken weeks, but spare time is limited with a toddler and a table full of sprues crying out for a attention) - both for my recent interest in 40k Kill Team, but mostly for my head over heels infatuation with Warcry. I wanted a nice gaming table, that gave a nice playing experience, more than just a cardboard mat thrown on the table. So I set to work; <br />
<br />
I've made a 4 x 3' table from 18 mm flightcase plywood (really solid stuff), and framed it with wood moldings. I cut down a 4 x 4' mousepad gaming mat to fit, and I cut out some sheets of 5mm mdf, which I've covered with black felt (to give a nice feel, and soften the roll of dice), which can be laid out on the gaming mat, to give different gaming table sizes. The first one is 30" x 30" which I'm very curious to try out for Warcry - imo a symmetrical gaming field gives less of a direction, so to speak. It can also be laid out to give a standard 30" x 22" Warcry gaming field (second pic) or removed almost completely for 36" x 36" (third pic) or altogether for 3 x 4'. Very flexible. <br />
<br />
The ruins are actually two sets of Warcry starter ruins - I've assembled one set standard, and went to town on the other set, so they look different, and can be built upwards to a second storey. <br />
<br />
The felt covered mdf also gives a nice sideboard for things like models, dice, cards, etc. The ruins are still in the process of being painted (which takes forever), but will end up looking like the fourth pic. I still need to mount the legs, which are cheap screw on legs from Ikea, so it can be stowed away behind a door. <br />
<br />
I hope you can find some inspiration in this - I thought a lot about how to do this in the most flexible way. <br />

<br />
I've been really busy hobbying, though - since Warcry came out this summer, I've been incredibly inspired, and it's rekindled my AoS skirmish fetish.<br />
<br />
I'm working on a lot of different warbands - I'll (try to) show them here over the next few weeks, as they get ready for paint.<br />
<br />
The first are "The Drowned" (counts as Nurgle Daemons).<br />
<br />
I was really inspired by the idea of the Drowned Men warband from Wrath of the Everchosen - but more the name than anything else. I had this idea of a warband (Nurgle allegiance) made from deep sea horrors and horrible drowned zombies. Think Deepkin, but much more dark. The idea is that sailors and divers (which I'm sure exists in the mortal realms - if not, they do now) sometimes succumb to ilnesses of the ocean, like scurvy and other horrible diseases. When they do, the great father offers them the chance to be freed from pain and suffering - if only they wow to serve him in the sea. Many say yes, and plunge themselves into the sea, while wowing their pledge to the Nurgle. Indeed, the pain and suffering disappears, but so does their will and sanity. All that is left are bloated, drowned hulks of the men they were, seeking only to taint the living.<br />
<br />They are led into battle by the Duke of the Depths, a silent knight of the ocean, carried into battle by a huge squid-beast, accompanied by horrible giant Whelks and other sea monsters. <br /><br />To most, they are little more than a legend that is whispered of by the campfires in the eightpoints. Stories are told of warbands, treading dry and barren earth, and suddenly finding their feet submerged in ankle high water. Through a heavy fog stumbles the rotting forms of once noble seafarers and divers, and horrible monsters emerge. Few have seen them, and fewer still have survived to tell the tale of The Drowned. <br /><br /><br />The Duke of the Depths is a plague drone leader. The Angler monster is going to be a Slaughterpriest ally - I think the bloodbind ability gives a great "anglers lure" vibe. The crabs are gonna be Armoured Whelks from Wyrds The Other Side used as Beasts of Nurgle (they fit 60 mm bases), and the drowned are Gellerpox mutants used as plague bearers. <br /><br />I'm still working on the final touches and what I'm gonna do to the crabs, but it's getting there.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
First, a prelude. In 1990, Tiny-GuitaRasmus (then 8 years of age) was rumbling through the kids section of my local library (my parents were always good at dragging me along, giving me a lifelong passion of books) and I stumbled upon a small book called (in danish) "Figurer til Rollespil; sådan maler du dem" (Miniatures for Roleplaying; how to paint them):<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(Fun fact; back then there were actually serious newspaper articles being written about roleplaying and Dungeons and Dragons leading young people to devil-worshipping! :D )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tiny-GuitaRasmus was immediately blown away by the pictures of the tiny monsters, orcs, warriors and other miniatures, and took it home. I remember poring over the pictures again and again, and being completely enamoured with these small worlds you could build. My dad, who was (and still is) an great model train builder and enthusiast, quickly seized the opportunity to get his son interested in model building, and took me to a giant (at least it was to me back then) model kit shop in Copenhagen, where they had racks upon racks of miniature blisters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I spent a long time trying to choose the coolest miniatures in the shop, and eventually decided upon a a pack of (then unbeknownst to me, they were just cool) Grenadier Fantasy Lords Dragon Men: (picture from ebay)</div>

I remember going home and getting straight to work - ripping the miniatures out of the box, being completely oblivious of the concept of mold lines, and choosing a few of my dads Humbrol Enamel paints (when we wasn't walking to school in the snow, that's what we used back then! And we liked it! ;) ) and got to work: </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please note the exquisite sense of colours - the bright vivid green, the beautiful shading made with a fine point sharpie, and the orange used on the inside of the tail - clearly didn't have the patience to let the green dry first. ;) Also the decision to use brown on everything that isn't green or armour - horns, bow, arrow, quiver, belt, weapon handle - you name it. I didn't have a concept of undercoat either, so the paint is just applied (one thick coat of course!) in enough amounts to cover the metal. For a finishing touch, you can spot the remains of the classic modelling flock (which I think was coloured dried, cut up grass bits) on the base. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh well, we all have to start somewhere. :D </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some months later I got hold of some actual Citadel acrylic paints, and decided to repaint one of the models (an 8 or 9 year old isn't the most nostalgic of creatures), just painting over the existing paint job, making the coat even thicker, and not really making any significant improvement: </div>

At least I used a proper metal colour for the armour, some red for the eyes, and, apparently, some weird decision to highlight the wings using a darker green? I believe the green is the legendary Goblin Green paint.<br />
<br />
I think it's safe to say that these models started it all for me; I LOVED it from the moment I started slapping paint on. I used to play with these for hours, and spent countless hours making my own games with them. I think it was during the autumn I got them and for Christmas my parents gave my HeroQuest - which took this from the start of a hobby to an outright obsession. I loved that game - the miniatures, the furniture, the board - everything. I spent so much time painting those models, and trying to make them look just like the painted models on the side of the box - of course, failing miserably, but making progress in the process. From then on I think I wished for some miniatures for every birthday and Christmas for many years, aside from the many times my parents to me to a model store to get some (they could see I was really enjoying it) and I used to sit for hours in my room, trying to make the small monsters come to life with paint and brush. I even remember getting Space Hulk (1.st ed) for Christmas the year after, and realising the rules were in english, I sat down with my dads Oxford English to Danish Dictionary, and basically taught myself english to be able to play. :D I went on to getting into a gaming club, and immersed myself completely in the universe of Warhammer, both 40k and Fantasy - it really was an all consuming passion.<br />
<br />
Flash forward to me starting in high school at 15, discovering that girls were interesting, so was playing music (and the latter could help me with the former!) I put aside the miniatures for many years. When I was 28 or 29 I was working at a youth club, and some of the boys there were getting interested in Warhammer, I was asked if it was something I could help them get into. "Sure, why not", I said, and started searching the web for ideas and miniatures - I was blown away at how far the hobby had come in the 15 years I had been away from it - plastic miniatures had gotten soooo good, the models were better than ever, there was plastic terrain (we used to build everything ourselves from polystyrene sheets, cardboard, etc), the paint range was a lot better and the washed made painting miniatures much easier - and there was a huge amount of background material (books, audiobooks, and so on) to dig into - well, like an old drug addict, I relapsed big time. I started buying a few miniatures here and there (you know, just professional interest!) and enjoyed painting and especially converting them so much, that I joined a local gaming club, where I met lots of cool likeminded adults, and evolved a lot painting and conversion wise.<br />
<br />
Flash forward 9 years to today; the arrival of my son this summer has meant that there isn't nearly the same hobby time as there used to be (not that I would trade parenthood for the world), but I still love the hobby just the same, if not even more, as when I was a kid. I would love for my son to get into the hobby himself - but really, I think the lesson to take from my parents example is that if you see a spark of interest or passion in your kids, no matter what it is - you take it and run with it.<br />
<br />
So, thanks mom and dad, for indulging me in my weird interest back then - it meant the world to "Tiny GuitaRasmus". :)<br />
<br />
PS: I love to hear some stories about how you guys got started.<br />

However, I've gotten quite a few of the old Chapels (bought as fortified manors - hence the watchtowers I've also got), and I thought it would be boring to just have duplicate manors or chapels - so I've bashed them together to make a fortress of some sort. I've used more pet shop cork bark for the cliffs and rocks, and used some walls to make the walkway and the walls for the tower. I think it works pretty well, although it obviously needs quite a bit of detailing:<br />

I've used a piece of the Garden of Morr as an outhang for one of the buildings - I obviously need to something with it. Also some supports for the other outhangs too.<br />

I've also managed to grab a completely mint (still foil on the box) Dreadstone Blight, one of my favourite pieces, and promptly got it assembled (still needs the top floor). I doubt I'll do any converting to this one - I really like it as is - although it will get a nice base:<br />

"Okay, he's lost his marbles - he started converting terrain too?"<br />
<br />
Yup, never one to leave a model stock, I have gotten my dirty mittens on some of the old Warhammer terrain during the past year or two, and while they are great looking, I thought it would be a bit boring to have duplicates. Also, with the coming of AoS, and round bases (= no movement trays) actual interaction with the terrain (besides just marching around it) became a possibility - thus, I wanted to create more levels, and more options for positioning. Plus, I just like cutting up plastic. ;)<br />
<br />
First up is my fortified manor - I've combined it with the Ruins of Osgiliath (LoTR kit, which I used for the others as well), and put another chapel on top of the watchtower, along with the outhouse mounted on the roof. The cliffs are pet shop cork bark (man, it reeked of pet shop - I needed to air it for a few days before actually working on it) hot glued on.<br />

I need to figure out what to do for the basing though - the first watchtower is based, but it was a serious struggle to get the 3 mm MDF to stop warping. I've tried different stuff, plasticard seems to warp too from the PVA glue I'm using, and I don't really want to use 6 mm mdf - it seems to thick. Any ideas?GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-29486313626698999822019-08-02T01:42:00.000+02:002019-08-02T01:42:21.220+02:00Branching OutI've started to lock down the parts on the Screaming Oak, pinning stuff into place (blu-tec somehow doesn't really stand up to the vigours of battle) and refining the pose a little - I've added some more branches on the middle of his back where it seemed a little bare, and tweaked the position of the head a little - I could use the wisdom of the mighty internet here, is this better, screaming in agony at the heavens, or is the previous version where he looked a little more down better?<br />
<br />
Also, should he have a couple of horns?<br />

The white base is because I have this strange infatuation with Warmachine beveled bases, and prefer to use them on all my miniatures. Alas, they're only made in 30, 40 and 50 mm, plus a very big one for Gargantuans, so I have to make them myself on my lathe to get the right diameter - yes, I know that the Verminlord Corrupter has an oval base. Yes, I calculated the circumference (106 mm) to have a corresponding round base (not a fan of oval bases). Yes, it is technically not legal. No, I don't care at all. ;)GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-71118964426461405302019-07-27T01:51:00.002+02:002019-07-27T01:51:38.910+02:00The Screaming Oak WIPOkay - I usually don't share pics this early in the process of making a conversion, since it's extremely rough and basically in the "sketch stage" - things are blutacked on, some things are only placeholders, lots of sculpting and parts missing, etc, but at this point I'm trying to get the pose and concept locked down - so keep that in mind. I felt it would be interesting to share though, since it gives a glimpse into my very messy process of making models as described in the little essay I wrote a while ago, about models and poses. That, and because I'm SOOOO excited about it!<br />

Here is the very early stages of my Screaming Oak:<br />

I'm basically trying to make a treeman zombie. While GWs Treelord model is very good, it is portraying a beautiful and nimble kind of treeman. I wanted something that looks corrupted, shambling, monstrous and really really evil. I even used the classic "bent knee zombie pose", to illustrate the point. I also wanted some really massive talons, which are made from the Shardwrack Spine terrain kit - like I said, they need lots of sculpting, but I tried to echo the "hollow" look of the talons of the Sylvaneth Spite Revenants. The legs and body also need a lot of branches and sculpting and hopefully a mouth or seven.<br />
<br />
The head is a placeholder for now - I like the tormented look, but I'm not sure if it looks too "off" from the rest of the tree aesthetic. Lots more branches and spikes needed all around, but I really really like it so far, and the "murder of crows" emphasise the forward motion further.<br />
<br />
I'm still very open to suggestions and comments, so please, fire away! :)GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-42748462843851281972019-07-24T02:05:00.000+02:002019-07-24T02:06:55.914+02:00Practical but important stuff. I haven't gotten to do much miniature stuff these past few days, but I've gotten around to doing something I've wanted for as long as I've played Warhammer - my own full size wargames table.<br />
<br />
I'm lucky to have a nice, dry and pretty large mancave in our house, all to myself:<br />

However, a 6'x4' table is pretty large - and since I use the mancave for both playing music, making miniatures and general chilling out, I don't want a gigantic permanent table in the middle of the room. So I started googling, and while I found some amazing wargaming mancaves, I didn't find what I was looking for. So, Ikea to the rescue. The first priority is of course the gaming surface itself. While many people just use some mdf for a tabletop, the problem with mdf is that it warps pretty easily over time, if unsupported - same goes for plywood. I found the solution in Ikeas catalog.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Linnmon table.<br />
<br />
It is made from a mdf frame, filled with a honeycomb paper pattern, which means it is very very rigid and very light (11 kg). It is 200 cm x 60 cm (roughly 6,8 feet x 2 feet) so I figured that if I put two of them together lenghtwise, I'd have a perfect table, even with about of feet of sideboard for dice, casualties, etc. The best part is that the two table surfaces can fit behind the door to the cave, so it stows away easily.<br />

As you can see, they are held together with a case lock on both sides. There is a surprising amount of torque in those little things, and they are held rock solid. They are resting on a couple of cheap sawhorses from Bauhaus (the danish equivalent to Home Depot) which gives the table a nice height (about 1 m). I always play standing up, and my back would kill me if I had to play 2-3 hours on the 60 cm tall tables many people build. It feels very solid and theres no chance of the table sliding off, thanks to some silicone antislip stickers I put on the sawhorses. </div>

Some terrain added. I really need to get around to painting the stuff I've aquired over the last few years - I've managed to scrape together quite a few of the old Warhammer buildings - they still look awesome IMO. The mat is 4 x 4 and I need to get a full size one.<br />
<br />
Man, I can't wait to try my first game on it - this really is a childhood dream come true. :)<br />
<br />
The other project I've been working on is a magnetic carrying case. I've been searching for a transport solution, and I'm really tired of foam. Most of my miniatures are conversions, so no standard stuff fits, and bits keep catching in the foam and breaking off. So, I decided that magnets are ideal. However, I had a hard time finding a great solution, so I decided to put my woodshop teacher skills (my day job) to use, and build one myself:<br />

It's made from pine, so it's actually quite a bit lighter than it looks, but the jury is still out on whether it's too heavy or not. I need to get hold of a good heavy duty handle for it. The shelves are steel shelves from an Ikea letterbox and the rails are simply aluminum curtain rails, that cost next to nothing. It can fit my entire (about 3000 pts) Nurgle collection in it, even the largest beasts, but like I said, I still need to test it to see if it's actually manageable to carry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><br />On another note:<br /><br /><br /><i>In the songs of the Sylvaneth, one Treelord Ancient is never mentioned. Not because he wasn’t a great hero. Not because he wasn’t fiercely loyal to Alarielle. But because the mere thought of what happened to him is to painful to stand for the Sylvaneth.<br /><br />The Treelord Sternbark was one of the great old Ancients. He was rumoured to have been the ancestor of many a treeling and fought in the great wars in Ghyran against the rotbringers of Nurgle. In battle, he was faced against the gargantuan beast mount of the Witch King of Cankerwall, and fell. As much as it grieved his Wargrove, their grief turned to terror as they were forced to flee and saw the Witch Kings rotten underlings tow away Sternbarks remains - though they tried to ambush the Rotbringers, they were too few and their attempts were twarted. Great was Alarielles fury when she heard of his death, and even greater was her grief when she was told that his soulpod had not been saved.<br /><br />The Witch King returned Sternbarks remains to the Garden of Nurgle where he dug deep into the bark, and found the Ancients Soulpod. He toiled for seven days, incanting the terrible rites he had been gifted by the Grandfather, in order to bind the daemonic essence to the soul pod. Once he was done, the once vibrant soulpod turned a brackish green colour, and boils started erupting on the surface.<br /><br />A cry of anguish erupted from the Everqueen, as she felt the corruption across the realms.<br /><br />Satisfied with his work, the Witch King put the soul pod back into Sternbarks corpse, and implanted scores of Rotwood Maggots into the now twitching limbs and branches of the Ancient.<br /><br />With a flick of his wrist and a twisted invocations of words, the Ancient rose once again. As it stood upon the doorstep to his lair and gazed into the Garden, it realised what it had been and what it was now. And it screamed. It screamed in anguish at the Rotwood Maggots eating through it’s body. Moreso, it screamed because Sternbarks spirit was still alive and sentient in the soul pod, but he had no control over any of it’s limbs - that was the privilege of the daemon parasite the Witch King had bound to the soul pod.<br /><br />A great thunder rolled over the Garden as the Grandfather himself chuckled.<br /><br />Many years has passed since, and Sternbarks spirit has been utterly maimed, broken and ripped to shreds by what he has witnessed, as a passenger in his own body. The body has been twisted by the foul magics of the Garden as time has passed, and it is barely recognisable as once having been a native of Ghyran. The limbs have become twisted and gnarled, repulsive mouths have erupted across the bark, and terrible spiny growths have erupted from the body. The once glowing sigils of the Everqueen are completely overgrown, and pus, weeping sores and boils covers its surface. It shambles into battle, and as the splintered remains of Sternbarks spirit realises it is to be employed as a destroyer of life once again, insanity rolls over him and he can do nothing but scream. Thus, Sternbark is no more. The husk that remains is known to the Maggotkin as the Screaming Oak.</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Yup - I've started work on the Screaming Oak/Corrupted Treelord. It's going to be a big project, but I'm pretty sure I'm onto something pretty cool and creepy. :)GuitaRasmushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03081722156585571520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571842104438696661.post-23078235085543205712019-07-12T01:44:00.001+02:002019-07-15T22:46:34.700+02:00Horses for courses - and spawns for Harbingers. Hi guys, a bit of a progress update.<br />
<br />
I've been using a Harbinger of Decay for many a game, using my old rotfly riding champion conversion - but since the debut of the Lord of Afflictions, it seems confusing to have two very different characters both riding flys.<br />
<br />
While the original model is probably considered a modern classic:<br />

... I have some issues with it; first of all, it's small. Way to small. It originates from the old Warhammer Fantasy, and doesn't scale well at all with the new and bigger scale of AoS. Secondly, it is finecast. I hate finecast. Thirdly, horses seem exceptionally boring to me, in a setting of high fantasy, such as AoS. Therefore, I wanted to make my own, new and improved, Harbinger of Decay. </div>

A bit of a forestory; some years ago, I stumbled upon an amazingly talented sculptor, namely Jason Hendricks; he has sculpted some insanely cool models, even some of the prototypes for the Warjacks from Warmachine. Especially one miniature enamoured me; The Nightmare Thing: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I stumbled upon someone selling it on a facebook about a year ago, and I promptly bought it, without knowing what to use it for. Upon receiving it, I found it really cool, but also too big to be used as a regular spawn, and some of the details got a bit lost in the casting material (I call it restic - used for lots of board games - apparently cheap, and also quite horrible to work with - cut, scrape, sand - it's equally bad for everything). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, it sat in a box, until two nights ago, when I was pondering what to do with my Harbinger, and a light went off; I hurried to my desk, got out the nightmare thing, and started messing around with parts:</div>

I've replaced the head with to heads (one an upside down pink horror mouth, the other an upside down Blight King fly head, with the lower jaw from a pink horror added), and a Stone Troll arm, because I felt it was missing a bit of ye old GW aesthetic. The saddle is from the Maggoth lord (which oddly basically popped into place, as if made for it), and the torso is from the Pusgoyle Blightlords.<br />
<br />
I'm really liking it, although I'm still on the fence about the scythe; one, it just seems like such an obvious choice, and two, the 1" range of it really doesn't suggest scythe to me - any suggestions?<br />
<br />
*Update*<br />
<br />
I've gotten a bit further, and I'm almost done with the sculpting on the Harbinger:<br />

I've also decided against using the necromancer model for the sorcerer on top of my Glottkin - it needed to much work and was a bit too weedy for a Rotbringer Sorcerer, so I chopped up the Ethrac model and gave him a new arm and head - I'm pretty happy with this version:<br />

On that note, I'd like to elaborate a bit on conversions. I call this (cue fanfare...): </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Conversion Composition</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First of all, I really dislike the word kitbashing; I feel like it belittles the skill and vision required for a cool conversion. A simple weapon swap may be a kitbash, but as soon as you go a bit beyond that, you are basically taking a miniature and converting it into something else, something that better suits your vision of the universe it is being part of. I don't mean to sound snooty or anything, and I'm not suggesting it should be called art, but take some credit in your skill and vision, and stop calling it kitbashing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There. I got that off my chest. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I feel like the most important part of any miniature is its composition. Let me elaborate; the composition is a combination of the pose of the miniature and shape of it. Things like details and texture are very important as well, but you can easily find a miniature where these things are there in spades, but it just doesn't work as a miniature - why? Because the composition is bad. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me demonstrate: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Skaven Grey Seer model is an example of great composition:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqIDolz_eYAatZPGgYEI6gM-jm6Q8_0HQitOYz96eITNienbR0chjbCm59yS8lncuHAJbsQJYmU7WA0dN9dyBv7FqizetnB92-GjPx6WqSIScr-pEVqPYaQQr6BpLsxWwVzwnyXCoNm8o/s1600/silex.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="516" data-original-width="1000" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqIDolz_eYAatZPGgYEI6gM-jm6Q8_0HQitOYz96eITNienbR0chjbCm59yS8lncuHAJbsQJYmU7WA0dN9dyBv7FqizetnB92-GjPx6WqSIScr-pEVqPYaQQr6BpLsxWwVzwnyXCoNm8o/s640/silex.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
The model, seen as a silhouette, has a nice flow to it (shown by the green line), clearly defined form and the details don't mess up the shape or pose. I would even argue that seeing it only as a silhouette, you would still be able to guess that it's a skaven based on the pole, the iconic way skaven cloth is modelled and the hunched pose - non warhammer players could probably guess that it is a wizard, based on the stretched out hand.<br />
<br />
Wulfrik the Wanderer, on the other hand, is a walking composition disaster:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnf0kxOaOH-Dna2l6UthxTq97JDZK7lPI1MlpDshO5pxcBLaonl6F5rv8GipFYOQE07xBFeykD9GohwBdWf-LTJL0RrZg7i6-nLhZywOWHUa_zlbfB52JFTzcIOn09UzNrL01hWgUHwFU/s1600/silex2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="516" data-original-width="1000" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnf0kxOaOH-Dna2l6UthxTq97JDZK7lPI1MlpDshO5pxcBLaonl6F5rv8GipFYOQE07xBFeykD9GohwBdWf-LTJL0RrZg7i6-nLhZywOWHUa_zlbfB52JFTzcIOn09UzNrL01hWgUHwFU/s640/silex2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Based on the silhouette, you would probably guess that it is some sort of christmas tree with a scarecrow added and a sword sticking out. There is no flow, no shape, no pose - it just doesn't work. The fact that the sculptor seemingly dipped it in glue and rolled it in his box of skulls only seems to make the issue worse.<br />
<br />
My Daemon Prince has (at least I think) a pretty good composition:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFt3V03D2WA8Qd2WZb54bZ4tZCY7VdFpNPN5dqayDDWZq7o5SNKVV0qwEOjjKCTwh5406SySxghsakgec5bHwgyL58Yjctrh1b2RD8ZPAfo_1dCreg4DiinsOyFvDYvvfSknA2Ekva3Q/s1600/DPsil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKFt3V03D2WA8Qd2WZb54bZ4tZCY7VdFpNPN5dqayDDWZq7o5SNKVV0qwEOjjKCTwh5406SySxghsakgec5bHwgyL58Yjctrh1b2RD8ZPAfo_1dCreg4DiinsOyFvDYvvfSknA2Ekva3Q/s640/DPsil.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
You can clearly see the fly wings, the fly legs, and it has some nasty claws and spikes sticking out, adding to the creepiness and wrongness of the thing. It has a good flow and the body parts don't mess up the composition.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>The cure for bad conversion composition: </b><br />
<br />
My advice to any converter is: Get the basic composition in place before you do anything else. The best tool for any converter is holding a miniature up against a lamp to backlit it. You will immediately see the silhouette of the conversion and thereby the composition (again, shape and pose) will jump out.<br />
<br />
Don't be afraid to tweak the posing just tiny bits - sometimes moving an arm a few degrees will change to composition completely. Using bluetac or brass pinning wire is great for this - you can change it be moving the part attached with bluetac or bending the brass wire.<br />
<br />
Another trick, in lieu of having a backlit setup (and which I use most of the time) is to just squint your eyes - it works almost as good. Again the silhoutte will jump out. Another good tip is to use your camera phone to take some quick pics of the pose, once you find one that works - even if you're tweaking it more, to see if it can get even better, you now have some pics to return it to it's original state.<br />
<br />
Once the basic composition is good, you can start adding details and textures, but ONLY if they add to the conversion. Remember to check the silhouette regularly to see if it is starting to get cluttered, and be willing to remove parts again, even if you think a particular part is really cool. Don't be afraid to "kill your darlings" or rip something apart and start over. It is bit like cooking - you're free to use spices, but even the best spices won't make up for a dish that is basically lacking. Many conversions I see on my google search journeys are using way too many bits and lacking basic composition - try googling "obliterator conversion" for example; I've lost track of the times I've seen a plastic chaos terminator that looks like it's been dipped in glue and rolled in a guns bits box. Get the basic pose right, even if it takes some tries - walk away from it, sleep on it, get back to it, and make it the best you can. Good luck! :)<br />

I'm taking babysteps (pun intended) with the progress, thanks to "The Squig". However, I've been intrigued by the idea of using Gutrot Spume as a way to deepstrike a unit of Blight Kings, and reading Plague Garden by Josh Reynolds, I've become intrigued by the character Spume as well.<br />
<br />
However, I've already used the (admittedly, quite cool) model for my Blight Kings as a unit leader, so I went on an inspiration search on the internet, to find out what people had done for conversions of him. Sadly, there wasn't too much, but I found this guy: <br />

(Sadly, I don't know who's done it, so I can't give him credit - If you recognise it, please let me know)<br />
<br />
While there are definitely things I'd do differently, the basic idea of using the Gellerpox mutant tentacles and Typhus legs I really liked - so I set about making my own version:<br />

I spent a lot of time scraping and cutting away any 40k-ish parts on the legs, and used gut-maw belly from the Pusgoyle Blightlord kit (mostly because I love the old-school gut-maws), made a huge axe from a combination of a 40k Death Shroud scythe and a minotaur axe, gave him a chain loin cloth, and used the "crab-hand" from the Khorne AoS starter set lord, to continue the nautical mutation theme - and finished it off with a back banner from the 40k Lord of Contagion kit. Obviously still needs a lot of sculpting, but I really like the basic idea - plus, he is HUGE:<br />

I've also gotten a bit further on my Glottkin conversion; I've made a gladiator style shoulder pad (still needs distressing, though) for two reasons - both for having a place to put the dark green I used for the army, to tie him together with the rest of them, and besides; shoulder pads are awesome. :) </div>

I've also started the wizard on his shoulder - I'm a bit on the fence about him. While I have the Ethrac Glott model, I kinda wanted something thinner, more wasted and weedier - we'll see. </div>

My wife gave birth to a little baby boy two weeks ago (affectionately known as "The Squig"), and believe me, when they say that babies eat up all your free time, it's true! It's wonderful and magical and the craziest thing ever and really tough getting next to no sleep - but I wouldn't trade it for the world. :)<br />
<br />
Anyway - I've managed to get some work done (most of it before "The Age of Squig"), so I wanted to share them - they still need to get details, varnish, and blood and rust effects, so WIP.<br />
<br />
First up, my Great Unclean One - I really like the way the shoulder pad turned out, it's nice to get some of the green of the Blight Kings onto this guy:<br />

My Maggoth Lord conversion (probably gonna count as a Verminlord Corruptor, once the wizard rider gets done)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And the project I'm mostly excited about; I bought a Glottkin a loooooong time ago, and made a new head for it, since I wasn't really a fan of the original one. However, I wasn't really happy with the model overall either - It's always struck me as a great concept, with a somewhat lacklustre execution.<br />
<br />
I took a deep breath, dunked him in rubbing alcohol, and stripped the old paintjob. I ripped my original converted head off him, and made a new one from the "arm-face" of Rotigus, combined with the horns from one of the GUO heads, and the lower jaw of Ghurk - now THATS more like it! Much more tormented and evil looking. The other change was his right arm - I love the lamprey maw, but the arm just seemed weirdly short and out of place on such a big model. I cut it of and reposed it, and added the censer from the Skaven Plague Furnace, as a giant wrecking ball - YEAH! Now we're getting somewhere!<br />
Lastly I added some claws from some sort of Tyranid monster to the tentacle, since I thought it was a bit weedy looking - more spikes are always more gooder!<br />
<br />
Obviously he still needs quite a bit of sculpting, blending and detailing, and a rider added (I'm contemplating a guy with a cannon, actually), and I'm thinking about magnetising him to his base, so I can have two bases and use him as either The Glottkin or a Soul Grinder. Still, I'm really excited about him, and I really like where it's going:<br />

Yup, WIP Wednesday. Apparently, it's a thing. At least it is now. Since I have a WIP and it's wednesday.<br />
<br />
This guy (the Maggoth Beast, that is) is OLD. I'm not sure if I made it back when the Maggoths first came out, during the end times in 2014, or if he's a little younger, perhaps when I started messing with AoS at first, shortly after it's release.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I kinda like the Maggoths at first, but they suffer from a bit of the same malady as the Mutalith - it has a tendency to look a little flat from certain angles. I wanted to make it wilder and more chaosy, and since it came with two extra arms, and extra heads, I thought "why not?" and decided to make this crazy beast. And then, it sat in my cabinet of stranded projects for some years. Until now.<br />
<br />
The rider, I made yesterday. I wanted him to be less fighter-y and more sorcerer-y, and I think he conveys a quiet malediction, that somehow gives a cool contrast to the wild beast.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure what he's going to be played as; perhaps a Verminlord corruptor? (Tongue = tail attacks, lots of melee attacks = four arms, wizard = the rider on top), or maybe even a Mutalith vortex beast - I don't know yet, but suggestions are welcomed. I just think it's a cool model and it needs to get on the tabletop.<br />

I think the standard one is very bland, while this one is quite a bit more menacing.<br />
<br />
Also, a bit of colour on the tree - much more to come, but hey, it's something. Also, I'm working on Gnarlmaw #2, which is more of less scratchbuilt.<br />

Yep, I needed a break from the little blue guys. The squigs are mostly done (needing a final highlight on the teeth and gums), and then it's on to the riders. And the rest of the of the army. ;)<br />
<br />
Before that, though, I took a small detour and made some reinforcements for my Nurgle army. I've only used a Harbinger of Decay as a general, and for some reason I haven't considered the Great Unclean One as a general. After looking at his warscroll, he seems really cool and brings a whole new thing to the army (one of the things I really like about AoS is the way a general can change an armys synergy), so I decided to try him out.<br />
<br />
Last january, the new plastic GUO arrived. A buddy had given me a recast version of the FW GUO some time ago, and while I really like the quiet menacing look he has, I like the new dynamic pose of the plastic GUO even more, so I got one, and started to go to town.<br />

I gave him the classic iconic sword and flail (mostly because it looks cool), but while building him, I was wondering where to put the dark green I use for the armour of my Nurgle army, so I got the idea to make him a gladiator style shoulder pad. It'l obviously get scratched, dinged and rotted up later, but the basic idea is there. Also, for some reason I felt compelled to have a tree with bells growing out of his left shoulder - I'll try to come up with some fluff to explain it. Please note the adorable nurgling posing on the branch. :D<br />
<br />
The other addition to my army is a Gnarlmaw. While it has some pretty cool rules, the real bonus, I think, is the way it gives extra contagion points. So I needed one.<br />
However, I wasn't really a fan of the model as is. The branches seemed to weedy to my, and I felt GW missed a chance to make a REALLY creepy tree.<br />
I started experimenting with some spare wyldwood trees, and once it got glued together and greenstuffed, I like it much better than the standard. I'm still deciding whether or not it needs the bells.<br />

Lastly, I need to get my Pestigors (counts as plaguebearers) based and painted.<br />

Small update - I got some more work done on his shoulder pad. I've tried to explain how I do it on the picture:<br />

<br />
Here you can see how it looks more like a piece of the miniature now, rather than just tacked on. Still needs the leather strap done, though.<br />
