Ok, time for a few pics. First of all I'd like to state that these are WIP's and no way finished, and secondly I'd like to apoligise for the poor pic quality.

Bike


So I want to add a bit of variety to my bike squads, this was a way of testing a couple of ideas. The first thing you'll notice is that the front wheel cover is gone, simply done by sawing off the front the of the Loyalist Marine bike & replacing it with the spokes etc from the Chaos bike. Also replaced the bolters (which I've never liked on the bikes) with ones adapted from the standard infantry bolters which are bulkier look like they pack m
ore of a punch. Couple of things I've noticed about this, first of all I'm thinking that in future I'll be filling in the grips with green stuff to make them smooth, & second I want to try & sculpt on ammo feeders similar to the ones on the bikes bolters.

Power Lance
Simple conversion here. The blade is from the Jain Zar weapon, the power stuff & grip are from thunder hammers, plus a little rod n a wolf tail from the space wolf pack & I have the relic blade for my khan. Yes I know it's not straight in this pic, but that has been sorted, also a cable has been added from the junction on the shaft to the back of box next to the blade.

let me know what you think, more pics soon!

First Post




Hello Everyone,

This is an opening post, no models yet, though I hope to have my first WIP up within a week or so.

I'm planning on taking my time with each model, working one by one, converting each one before then painting it, & then moving onto the next model, so this will probably be a long term project. I'm hoping that it will push my painting & sculpting skills to beyond their limits.

I'm hoping to go with the background. I'll be using Space Wolves parts for furs, teeth, horse tails & skulls. For the power weapons I'll be using scimitars & lances. I'll be using some of the White Scars parts, but also some from the Howling Banshees models.

You can see my colour scheme for them at the top of the page. I plan to add the honour markings to models after they've done something impressive during a game, though some will have them already. for bare heads I'll mostly use the SW's ones, with black hair, going for a more asian skin tone, as well as adding scars. I'll also try to add lightning bolts to the models, on the chest, wargear, etc.

There will also be a WIP over at CMON, which you can find here
