Shock Troops Multi-based

As promised, here's my first multi-based unit. Behold as my Stormvermin transform into mighty Ratkin Shock Troops!

Nothing too fancy here with the multibasing, but I'm happy with the effect. Nothing else in my Ratkin will be rebased this way, but all future projects absolutely will be.

Death and Pestilence

It's been a long time since I've been able to hobby, but I'm back! And to prove it here's my most recent bit of work: a horde of Ratkin Blight.

So, Ratkin eh? Not Skaven? Well yeah, as I've mentioned before, I'm done with GW now, but Mantic's Kings of War is really doing it for me. So a few changes are being made to my army to enable the switchover, although very little is necessary. These were initially going to be Skaven Slaves, but given the abstracted nature of KoW there was no reason not to grossify the rats up and into members of the Blight.

Coming soon, my first attempt at multibasing!

Iron Warriors Force = Complete!

So, yet again another long break between posts, not nearly as bad this time though.

Finally finished my Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines. Instead of posting the whole force like I said I would in a previous entry, I'm just going to present the highlights, since the whole army was in general a 'tabletop standard' project.

 My Chaos Lord

 Warpsmith

 Raptors

And finally, the Maulerfiend, which took almost a year to complete in itself, such was the level of my hobbying this last year.

I've got about two months now which I plan to dedicate to getting the last of my Skaven finished. After that I'll be in an eight-month hobby-free period, so I'm going to make the best of the time I have now. Hopefully I'll get pics up of the Skaven slaves before then, and maybe even a battle report send off for 8th Edition Warhammer Fantasy.

Whatever the future holds, I can't see any Age of Sigmar making its way onto the blog. It just does nothing for me.

From the pits...

Wow, has it really been over a year since I updated?

Yes. Yes it has. Crazy.

In that time I have continued hobbying, but not at the same pace. However, I've failed to post what little progress I've made, so time to sort that.

I don't remember when I finished these exactly, but it was some point last year. Rat Ogres + Packmaster!

Now all I have left to paint in this army is one engineer and 40 slaves. I had planned on adding an Abomination, however the rumours about 9th really do nothing for me, so I can see myself wrapping up the army at that point. It's a shame, but after painting this many rats it's also a bit of a relief to have a clear finish-line.

In the Emperor's Name, Stand Your Ground!

The rumours about a new Imperial Guard book being on the way sufficiently excited me to finally paint my Lord Commissar. I've always liked this model, and I'm looking forward to fielding him on my front lines, providing that unique brand of "encouragement" for which the Commissariat is rightly known.

Iron Warriors + Long Overdue Update

Greetings, hope a merry Christmas was had by all. It has been a shamefully long time since I updated here, but that's not to say I haven't been doing any hobbying! Been working on some Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines, I've actually finished the army and hope to have pics of everything up soon but in the meantime here's some tasters.

 Helbrute!

Spawns!

Dark Apotheosis!

Critters in the Dark...

So I finished some more Skaven not long ago, this time it is the rest of my giant rats and packmasters. These shouldn't have taken me as long as they did (three weeks) but I've been getting distracted by all the BFG... anyway, here they are.

These will be spilt in into four rat darts in games, should prove a great irritant to my opponents!
