Ive finished a couple more troops. I wanted to try and get my female conversion done so I could see it in colour against the others. 

I think it turned out ok except for the giant feet. Ive got one of the raging heros commissars and you compare the legs which are as thin as a gun barrel. 

 

All the bases will be painted once Ive decided on a colour

I think she looks fine. It is better that she is heroic scale to blend in with the rest of the men rather than too skinny so that she stands out. As for the big feet... maybe the Quartermaster only had size 12 boots and she is wearing loads of socks ;)

Thanks Guys

Had a quiet painting weekend but managed to finish another trooper.

This one is my Larkin stand in to act as a sniper with modified las carbine. 

Ive just realized I havent shaded the stock though...

 

This minis a bit of a mix as its a GK head shaved to fit in an empty helmet (hence the long face which I think looks different to the standard heads) and a Scion gun with the cables trimmed. Ive also used a ammo belt and a bit of GS on the blue pad to show spare ammo although its hard shot and not for the laser

Just got back from holidays and needed to do a quick kit bash

Id won three heavy weapon teams on ebay that Ive stripped but need basing.

One is missing the gun armor so I thought Id do a little ruin out of plasticard

 

Once its dry I'll chip it and add the cracks and craters

Also started 3 Scions

This is the base coat and wash stage but it shows my process

The bases are done for my heavy weapon team so while Im working on them I thought Id mix up the squad so Ive ordered some magicsculp to give it a go instead of green stuff and a set of these

and these

Im going to sculpt shoulder pads on them so they tie in with my IG squads and will do some head swaps with IG helmets and berets. 

I'll also sculpt aquilas on their chests so they all tie in but look slightly different 

 

I'll do an unboxing once they come as I cant see any other mention of them on this board

Ive looked. My search fu must be off as I couldnt find any pictures of the above painted. Even if you google them there are only a couple of examples and not in the context of mixing them with the standard guard. 

 

If you know any on here please drop me a link 

 

I dont know if I should do a head swap for IG helmets or keep them and maybe paint the helmets blue as a separate squad. 

There has been plenty of talk on Victoria's models, but no pictures on the Arcadians - yet ;) The models are thinner compared to GW's, so I'm not sure the larger helmets will work but you can always try a few out and see how it looks :)

The VM arcadians are in the post so they should be with me in a week hopefully 

In the meantime Ive worked on my Scion medic. 

Im fairly happy with it but I need to redo the arm screens as Im not happy with them

 

One thing you cant do is rush these minis theres way too much detail on them

I ended up with a few radio backpacks so I used one that I cut down to make a medic version of the normal pack

Ive got my hands on some magicscupt which Im going to use to Cadian the VM Arcadians

I thought Id have a play and its really easy to use as long as you go at it in stages. 

 

Expect more stowage and arm/leg positions to follow

Im going to have a go at a few special forces helmets with goggles and lights etc

 

Heres a Work in progress. The goggles need a rim and straps adding

Im still waiting for the VM Minis to arrive so I started work on my tooled up Pask Russ

 

Ive given the tank an undercoat but started work on the fuel barrels. 

Im not going to rust the whole tank but I want certain elements to look old. The fuel drums is the first thing. 

The weathering was done with paint, salt chipping, oil paint streaking and weathering powder!!

I also found scout heads look good on scions

and I found I cant sculpt ears. Best I could do was with GS and then they are massive...

Scout heads are useful for the Guard :smile.: Just got to be careful you don't have too many Wayne Rooneys in a squad :tongue.: Weathering looks good so I'm looking forward to seeing more!

 

That wont happen, their hair looks too natural........

We already take squads of Rooneys, they are called Ogryns. Anyway back on topic (before I get a bolt round)....Rich what are you going to do scheme wise with your Russ?

 

...Rich what are you going to do scheme wise with your Russ?

 

 

Its going to be in the same style as the Valkerie. Im going to highlight it and oil weather it. Its going to have a blue nose to show its part of the Ultramar PDF

 

The VM minis arrived today so ive dived straight into them. 

 

Ironically I also won a Bulgryn figure on ebay last night so thats going to be a tester to see if I want more

 

Too much to paint.... not enough time. 

The VM minis arrived yesterday 

Im really pleased with them even though there is a very slight size difference due to the non heroic proportions.

 

Done a bit of a kit bash and also sculpted some pads on one of the arms and I think its come out ok.
