Master Ciaphas' Illuminations of War & Death

[Master Ciaphas]

Thank you, Bjorn!

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Well - I had honestly kinda forgotten about this wee blog! Anyhow - here is some stuff that I have finished the past week:

 

2 Thermic Plasma Regulators - long OOP - but better late than never!

 

 

 

And also a 10 man Palanite Enforcer squad

 

Cheers!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Really nice work, @Master Ciaphas  

 

The hazard stripes on the bases are really nice, and oddly subtle..!

[Master Ciaphas]

Thank you, Firedrake! Much appreciated. 

 

Yep - the bases turned out quite subtle. I am a fan of it. I basically copied the recipe from Brush & Boltgun. 

 

Now I just need to finish my six Subjugators and the Scrutinator-Primus & KB-88.

 

Cheers!

Hail!

 

Finished the four Zone Mortalis Floor Tiles:

 

 

My first time playing with oil paints - and definitely not the last either!

 

Cheers!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Looks great to me - the grime is nice and realistic (not too much, non-uniform, etc)

[Master Ciaphas]

Thank you! Much appreciated! 

 

I will - at some point - look into getting the walls and columns for the tiles, too. I might - perhaps - get another set, so that I can have a proper large ZM battle...

[MithrilForge]

Wow, why have i never seen this plog of yours !! , top stuff Master C  

you know it....seeing your stuff always makes me want to go home and start painting  ....

 

Cheers, M

Hello there!

Managed after - six or seven years - to finish this thing. Phew. 

 

 

 

So, so many details!

Cheers!

[Firedrake Cordova]

Nice work - looks great.

 

I'm a big fan of those kits (and the Sector Imperialis ones) - they're so well-designed in terms of being combined together.

[MithrilForge]

Seven year terrain pieces, careful you’re entering my glacial style of painting  … looks great brother !! 
 

cheers M 

[Interrogator Stobz]

Good things take time.

Well done Brother.

[Master Ciaphas]

Thanks, all!! 

Since November, I have been busy finishing off a few more things. 

 

First up is the Necromunda Underhive Market. My parents gave me this for Christmas...which was lovely. The first hobby related gift I have gotten from them in over...30 years? In other words, I just had to paint that up this year :-D 

 

 

 

 

I also finished the Imperial Conveyors set, that has been lying in my basement for the past three or so years, so it was also nice to tick that off the list!

 

 

 

 

Finally, a friend of mine has been exploring the world of 3D printing, and he printed a Zone Mortalis-esque wall as a gift for me - that also got painted up:

 

 

 

All in all - MAXIMUM EFFORT this past month!

 

Cheers!

The Necromunda market is such a characterful kit, and you've done a great job on it

 

The Galvanic Servohaulers look great, too, and the streaking on the container is nicely done

Thank you for your kind comments, Firedrake Cordova! They are much appreciated! Left to do this year is a Void Shield Generator...the original one...in resin...sigh :-D

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Well - finally succumbing to illness Friday night, after ignoring the signs for four days, meat that I had hobby time yesterday. It was spent on finishing these three fine fellows:

 

An AT18 Legio Astorum Dire Wolf scout-class titan:

 

 

 

 

And my last two Cerastus Knight-Lancers of House Tintaroth:

 

 

All together:

 

Cheers!

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

[Firedrake Cordova]

Nice looking stompy robots

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Cheers, Firedrake!

Meanwhile, I have also managed to finish my Warlord-Sinister, Occedentalis-Daoloth!

 

 

 

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

 

[Firedrake Cordova]

I like the additions to the base ... although it does look like that dome's about to suffer "rapid structural failure"

Fantastic work here brother!!

everything looks awesome 

 

cheers, M 

[Master Ciaphas]

Thank you, Mithril! I am happy to hear it! I hope all is well with you down under!

 

Cheers,

Master Ciaphas

Hail!

 

Bought a box of Necromunda Bulkhead Doors earlier in January - and as I had to use them for a game yesterday, I also got work done, and finished them Saturday. All in all, 14 pieces of terrain, that I am quite happy calling "done".

 

 

 

 

 

Faithfully,

Master Ciaphas

[Master Ciaphas]

Hail!

 

Finished off four new terrain pieces, done old school DIY. Loved every second of it!

 

 

Cheers!

*2nd Edition nostalgia intensifies*

 

So, when are we going to see Space Marines or Ork with Goblin Green bases, then?  

[Master Ciaphas]

Heh. Well...they are actually not terribly far off, Cordova! I just have a wee bit more terrain to do...and on that note:

 

I have managed to do some jungle trees (yeah, they are 3rd ed., but I think they fit in well enough), as well as some old school rocky hills. For some reason, it is oddly satisfying going back to basics.

 

 

 

 

Soon-ish, there will be old mono-pose Space Marines, Goff Orks and Gretchins with autoguns :-D

 

Cheers!
