A small Astra Militarum army.

now it's clear thanks, but your post opens a few new questions for other tools))

@kabaakaba Feel free to ask your questions :) . I'll try to answer them if I can :) .

 

onto a bit of painting now... I've just finished the second Engineseer for the army :) :

Just 8 Servitors and 2 Astropaths to go (when they are made :) ).

Here is the first of the heavy weapon arms for the Servitor; the Plasma Cannon:

The focus will now be on the Multi-Melta :) .

The Servitor and all its arms is now finished :) :

 

 

 

These will be sent off for casting once I have sculpted a rifle for another project (then everything will be sent off together :) ).

Brilliant. There's a part of me that feels it's a slight shame about there being only one left arm option, but that part of me is a dick and we should ignore him.

Thank you :) .

 

First of all, I've been sculpting things for nearly 40 years now... so I've had a lot of practice and I'm still not up there with the best of them. I can probably reach those heights but it would add a lot of time to each sculpt so I work at a level that I'm happy with. I use the axiom "finished; not perfect". There will always be areas that aren't quite as sharp or perfect as you'd hope but having something tangible at the end of the work is what is important... so get sculpting! Don't compare with other people's work, compare with your own. Try to improve on what you have done before, ask for balanced critic/advice if you need to but just get sculpting and enjoy the process. It takes time, practice and perseverance to get better and sadly, there's no easier way... but unless you are sculpting, you can't get better... so keep sculpting :) .

 

Secondly, a lot of my sculpts are available to buy from Macrocosm Miniatures. Chris (the owner) takes my greens as payment for the resin copies that he supplies me with (I don't accept any money for them... we made an agreement that I could sculpt what I want and he'd provide me copies... all very amicable :) ). If you would like to get hold of some, here's the link (I don't earn anything for linking, only the fun of sharing my work... especially because it has been painted by a professional painting service on the site ;) ):

I have finally got some of the newer casts and have cleaned and primed the first three :) :

 

 

These are two Astropaths with a random adventurer, in between them :) .

I have also received the "Predator hunters", their enemy and the small diorama that I made (all in good numbers) so it shouldn't be too long before Chris does something for them on his site/through Kickstarter :) .

The two Astropaths are now painted :) :
