WIP it!

Haven’t had much of a chance to take new photos or paint anything this week, so this update is a bit of a blast from the past. The first pic is some kind of Warzone/Mutant Chronicles figure. I can’t remember what this guy is exactly, but he’ll fit into a Nurgle-themed chaos cult/Lost and the Damned force well enough, so that will do him, if I ever get around to building and fielding such a force. I’m showing him today because I had the photo handy, I think it’s a nice looking paintjob, and I wanted to have some colour in this update by having at least a finished figure included.

Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marines Work In Progress WIP

These are some early assembly/WIP pictures of my Iron Warriors figures, some of whom are finished and shown here (bottom half of the page). Just a mixture of plastic Marine, Chaos Marine, Khorne Berserker kits with metal components from the Iron Hands and Iron Warriors kits.

The Warsmith’s (on the right) head is from a Noise Marine, and his Thunder Hammer/Power Weapon is from a Chronopia figure, with some guitar wire added. The champion is just a kitbash of metal and plastic parts, but I think he looks effective. I should pull my fist out and finish these figures someday!

Getting Beardy (DML Lucas)

Well that was interesting, I just found this post in my drafts that I’d never published and managed to have forgotten about. It was dated right after the second Orc post, so I must have gotten it ready and then decided to leave it for a few days, then forgotten all about it. Ah well, better late than never.

This kitbash is of a 1:6 figure, to represent a US SF/Agency operative in Afghanistan. I decided to use a mixture of spare parts rather than only my “top shelf” stuff to kitbash him, because I wanted to see if I could do a decent job with it. As such he has molded black boots and a molded DML holster and canteen, though the AK is from Hot Toys, TAD Jacket is from BS, with a custom Low-vis Punisher patch which Tang made for me. The Pakol hat is (I think) from Soldier Story, as is the helmet (EOD)

I did this one a few months ago, when the weather was still nice. I had picked up several of DML’s Lucas figure, mostly for spare parts (M249s, choc-chip/DBDU helmets and vests, DCUs, etc). So with the dearth of Dark-skinned figure sculpts, I decided to have a go at making one of my many Lucases a little bit unique. Since there are always lots of great kitbashes on OSW featuring special-ops guys with great big beards, I decided that was the way to go here. I used my own hairy face as a model. It was actually quite useful(!)

I didn’t think to take any pics before I’d prety much finished the sculpting, so I just have a few angles of the finished beard which I did in several layers of Kneadatite (aka “green stuff”) – before and after painting. It looks quite a bit better once he has shades and a hat added, as in the first pictures. Covers up those big brown puppy-dog eyes.
