Warhound - PIP

Another project being packed away for a few weeks, my 3d printed Lucius Warhound, but at least I have the legs and body base coated!

Many Tanks!

 

Things here are slowing due to the amount of time I've had to spend finding a new job and preparing things for the wedding any honeymoon. I've been assembling some of the projects I've been printing over the last few weeks, so those will be the updates for the next few days. I'm still adding datasheets onto the Big Toys 40k blog, and I do have some news to share on that score, but just waiting for some updated graphics. Anyway, in the pic above, there's the previously shown 4th Legion Lupercal, now in black along with 2 of its siblings, Vulcan and a Vanquisher variants. The other standard Lupercal is for the 16th legion, to join its namesake. The Land Raider Achilles is also for the 4th, and the Warhound, missing its Vulcan Mega Bolter is for Legio Mortis, like the Reaver shown a few weeks back. I may make another later in the yet for my loyalists, when I have more money for filament, and when my Warlord is complete.

Big Toys 40k

As promised, I like to unveil my new project:

We're hoping to run an event from next year to break all those huge armies and giant monsters and warmachines, and all the info, such that it's known at the moment is on the other link. In the meantime, let me leave you with these photos, and the information that this morning I was digging out my half printed Warlord to work out what's still needed.

Slaaneshi Titans - Questor and Subjugator continued

I've been a bit quiet because a few things have happened in the last two weeks, I'll quickly post a personal update, then onto the titans! I was supposed to be starting a new job last week, but offer was pulled hours before I started after some very shady behaviour. This has meant I've been doing technical tests and interviewing with regularity ever since - I need a job as I'm less than 4 weeks from my wedding and I need money! Another thing is that I was attending King Fluff's event last weekend, so needed to paint like mad, not do blog articles. The last thing is that I'm working on a new format of event, starting next year, where we'll be able to meet up and break out the big toys and large armies - I'll post more of that when plans are more concrete. Now onto the titans! First shot is the Questor with the body painted, then a group shot with the Subjugator, armour now fitted. The last shot is the family one, bases all done and shown with my Hell Striders and Reaver Titan.

Slaaneshi Questor WIP

As a stablemate to the Subjugator, here's my Questor - also by Evanogainen.

From the storage box, last Friday morning, with Subjugator bits, at this stage it has no legs!

Legs have been printed and assembled. Feet are not glued yet, they will be painted separately.

Without feet for painting.

Feet and panels painted in a base orange, everything else, first pass of silver.

Slaaneshi Subjugator (Almost Done)

I think I previewed a WIP of this years back, but it's another of Evanogainen's great works! Since we now have rules for these in our local 30k events (by King Fluff) and because I needed more superheavies for my Leviathan Detachment, I've had to seriously crack on with this during the last week. That's right, last Friday,  just the two parts of the front hull were assembled, some bits still had printing supports attached,  the tail still had damage from a failed print and the arm joints weren't printed.

Obviously the base still needs finishing but I'll do that in concert with my Questor to get them to match - more on that tomorrow.

For those too young, the Subjugator came out for 2nd edition Epic back in the 1990s.

Legs assembled and attached to hull.

Tail repaired and attached, starting to paint the pink panels and the silver metal work.

Working on the blue panels

All the panels ready to go pink - I think I found I was missing some panels, so had to print two quickly.

Almost there - still some panels left to do.

All done bar the base.

Traitor Lucius Reaver - Done

Both arms now painted, so we'll be taking this beast to a 30k event in just over a week!

Traitor Reaver - almost done!

I've finally thrown a bit more paint on my  3D printed Lucius Reaver! We've just the arm guns and the spot lights to go and "Clamans ad Vindictam" will walk. It'll be in the colours of Legio Mortis, rather than the originally planned Tempestor though. I really liked how Mortis' colours match those of my Justaerin, and it's much easier to paint!

Lord of Skulls - Painted

Just back from Warhamarchy in Newcastle where I at least won one game! I'll post up pics of the units I got painted for this event over the next few days. In the  meantime, here's my Lord of Skulls alternative - yes the axe is a bit rough, but I didn't have time to reprint him, so he is as is.

Lord of Skulls - WIP

My list called for a Lord of Skulls, and while I do have one, it's unbuilt in a box, and there's no way I could have built and painted it in time. Thereofre I trew together this from files found on the internet. Based on an original Epic Lord of Battles, scaled up with bits from Havocs, Berzerkers, and Warsmith Dantioch's head.

Slasha WIP 1

I've managed to catch COVID again - so we're isolating, without lunches in my case because Tesco delivery substituted out all the things I needed for my lunches - oh well! I've had 3 jabs, so this is not as bad as it could have been, but I have on-off flu symptoms and I'm just totally bereft of any energy,

Anyway, when I wasn't feeling like moving was too much of a hard thing - I took this, progress shot on my two Slasha Gargants (one has only half a body - not shown here so far). The half body suffered a major print failure, so is being cut and shut with a good bit from a reprint. As if all this wasn't challenge enough, my Anycubic Photon Mono has suffered a screen failure, so I've repaired the old Photon and I'm having to use that for some bits for the Hueys.

Something big for the new year?

 Just a teaser, but something bigger than the Mekboy Gargant is coming!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my readers, I hope Santa brings you loads of gaming goodies! Since it's a day of big things, here's the new Mekboy Gargant, assembled via Blu-tac to show off all the gubbinz.

Mekboy Gargant Pt1.

Since I've had a little bit more free time, I've managed to get the Ender 5 working again - the 3 refused to start properly with a broken microswitch. That's on order, while in the meanwhile the 5 is buys cranking out a Mekboy Gargant. Posed here next to a Stompa I'm doing an Ebay rescue job on, it'll be on the table top using the Kustom Stompa rules. Gun and chainsword arms, and a Lifta-Droppa on the hydraulic arm.

I have a couple of Slasha Gargants sliced and ready to print, but they are behind a second Skullhamma.

Plagueburst Crawler WIP

3d printed Plagueburst Crawler, found on Thingiverse, then tweaked with some remixed bits, Nurgle details and Greenstuff. Last detail is a small shield covering the hydraulics under the gun, then paint time!

Sons of Horus WIPs

I've been working a few things for my Sons of Horus, which will be my first GW army in use out of lock down!

Dabs the 'dabbing' dreadnought - painting almost done

Damocles Rhino, with Sons of Horus doors that I remixed myself from items on Thingiverse, and a radar dish I found on the same site.

Eldar Power Generator

 Another 3D model I found on Thingiverse years ago, combined with a crystal also found there. It printed roughly quite a while back, but I've finally got it painted and based.
