CoolMiniOrNot Annual 2010 just landed...

... and it brings my first printed painted miniature on a publication 





and this model is my Plague Furnace

It was so nice to see that this model got so much attention! I loved all the feedback I gathered and the peak of it all was the invitation to join the CoolMiniOrNot 2010 Annual Publication.

I already ordered my copy! Can't wait to get my hands on it! :)

Christmas happy dance commence!
And as always, some music for the road... (I know I shared this track again, but I can't help it)

Death Guard Sternguard Veterans

Its been a long time I know, but I've been busy as hell and I still am as a matter of fact, so updates will be again slow for the next couple of weeks at least.

Anyways, I managed to get some pics of my latest unit that I made for my evergrowing Death Guard army. I finally managed to finish all the construction part for a 1750 pts army and now they are ready to have some paint on them!

The creation of the Sternguard really baffled me, as they should be significally different from the rest of the standard marines in the army, but still maintain my pre heresy theme. The answer on this problem came from a variation of sources. The models are based again on the wonderful Mk2 and Mk3 armors from Forgeworld but this time I also used heads and backpacks from MaxMini as well as some shoulderpads from Chapterhouse. Finally the bolters are again from the chaps at Forgeworld, as well as the lascannon!



To finish off the models, I used (as in with my whole army) Micro Art trench bases, which are really cool and give that extra theme and drama to the model!

So, thats it for now, hope that you like my conversions! Hopefully I will have something painted to show you by the next update :P

And of course, some music...suitable for that sunny Monday!


Take care!

Mk1 Death Guard Rhinos

...or double the fun part 2... :P

hello once again and this time I have another WIP update of my almost finished (the construction part) Death Guard Army!

I must say that I have managed to create the feeling of the army that I wanted and I am really happy with that.

This time I have my 2 Rhinos to share, primed and ready to be painted. I tried to make them as similar as possible, using of course a variety of bits with the most important one, the dozer blade taken from a small company (follow the link). I must say that I'm not very satisfied with the quality of the cast, but I love how it feels on the model so I can oversee some miscasts ...








More to come as well as a group shot of the army as I am preparing them for painting! :)


Finally, a great cover to an all time classic song from an all time classic band :) (I hope that this made some sense in a way :P )

Death Guard Pre-Heresy Terminators WIP

It has been a very busy week for my Death Guard project and I must say that it is coming along nicely! So far I have finished assembling and converting my Land Raider, a Razorback, a Predator the infamous Captain Nathaniel Garro and my latest additions to my evergrowing force is my first Mk2 Crusade and Mk3 Iron Armor Tactical squad (closeups will be uploaded when I'm done painting them) and my pre heresy assault Terminator squad.





These are extended conversions using the old plastic Terminators as a base, chopping off anything not needed, the heads are from Chapterhouse studios, the shoulder pads and the thunder hammers are from Maxmini (I love those guys :P ) and finally the shields are from Paulson's games and the bases from Micro Art (phew ...)

Ready to be primed :)

And here's a group shot of my army so far! Aint they cute?



As always your comments and remarks are always appreciated!

Inspiration for these guys came out of a band I recently discovered, picturing the silent death that Death Guard used to be in the pre heresy days
