Inso Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 It's been a slow week but I am getting the details put on the Hanomag Pattern Chimera. I've added hatches, a few details to the turret and the start of the front detail.

Inso Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 It's got to a point where I am going to end up messing them up because I am bored with them so, as far as they are concerned, the tank and transport are finished for now: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/Squat%20Vehicles/SquatWIP136_zpscjx8o4lw.jpg The tape holding the top of the tank on and the sideskirts on the transport on, is just temporary because I will need things to be removable for painting :) .

Inso Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Cheers :) . I was sort of stuck with having to make them different due to the different styles of plastic torso... but I think it works OK. Here's all of my completed Exos (so far - I have ten more standard ones to make): http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/Squat%20Exo%20Armour/SquatExo22_zpsuunowq6l.jpg NightHunters and WarriorFish 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/12/#findComment-4660127 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I have taken a leaf out of Sven Two-Belly's book (notorius hellraiser and Squat berserker) ... and have been drinking a lot, going out, spending time with family and generally having a bit of a life lately :) I am currently building shelves, chopping down trees and putting up curtain poles :) I am sure that there will be more updates soon... but for now, I'll just leave this for you to think about (it has been dismantled and has had all of the electronics removed and disposed of) :D : http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/Squat%20Knight/SquatKnight2_zpstshwzfyh.jpg Who knows when I will get back to my usual output?

Inso Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 So... the brakes are firmly on at the moment. I have no mojo for hobby time. I will be rearranging my army list slightly because I feel I have begun to 'lose my way' and steer away from my original plan. That means that some of the elements will disappear and others will be altered. The latest Exo Troops (Wolverines / Terminators with lightning claws) are going... and I think that the wyrdvanes will be as well. I think I am keeping everything else that has been completed because I was still thinking OK at the time they were thought of and created. The female veterans will be kept, as will the Mantic Exos and hearth guard (Count as terminators and scouts). There will be no Assassins so my Vindicare will have to go as well. The third platoon will get a PCS and two infantry squads (rather than three) but it will still get three special weapon squads. All three platoons will get Chimeras (my converted ones) and there will be Leman Russ tanks to support things (as per my Panther Russ design). At some point, I will add a scratchbuilt Imperial Knight. Once I have completed the army, all of my remaining plastic Squats will be sold so that I can move on to something else and not be distracted. Until work starts again, I will be working on my house (especially seeing as we have a leak from upstairs that ended up in the kitchen last night). I don't think this will be a long hiatus... just a necessary one. I just need to regroup, rearrange and restart :) .

WarriorFish Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 It's no bad thing to take a breather and re-evaluate, especially if your house is leaking :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306932-astra-imperial-guard-with-a-hint-of-heresy/page/12/#findComment-4691764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inso Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well... leak is fixed. I have some hobby shelves as well now :) . New organisation is here: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Squats/Squat%20Army%20List_zpsozbkyenq.jpg ... and now that I have said my mojo has disappeared, I appear to be sculpting again :) ... I have a squad on the go at the moment and five are finished with the more interesting five to go and WIP :) . I guess I just needed to take a deep breath and get back to basics.

WarriorFish Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just goes to show as the old saying goes; you can take the water out of the house but you can't take the hand off the sculpting tool.
