Tor Megiddo, part VI

Another member of my Techno-Barbarian gang is complete! This guy is based on a FW Tech Thrall with a FW Khorne Berzerker faceplate. The arms and axe are from Khorne Bloodreavers, and the feathered crest is from an old Empire Knight. 

A lot of people have asked me how I painted the bases. I'll take some step by step pictures when I paint the next base and will make a quick tutorial soon. 

Tor Megiddo, part I

Tor Megiddo is a collaboration project with Alexander, Mikkel, Rebecca, Erik (Nordic), Tommy (Bogbossredskullz), Saul (Warbosskurgan), Jake (Ex Profundis), Alexander (Hrossvalur), Ana (Gardens of Hecate), Kristian (Secrets of the Void), Johan (The Convertorum) and me. 

The world, Tor Megiddo, is a post apocalyptic dessert planet. Brutal gangs fight over what little fuel and technology that still exists in the world. 

Here are the first few members of my gang of Techno-Barbarians.

I've also made a Desert Mutant for the game. It will probably be accompanied by two more mutants and a beastcaller. In the game this group will be NPCs (non-player characters) in some scenarios. 

Armies on Parade 2016 by Rebecca

Welcome to the first guest post on this blog who is the winner of this years Armies on Parade competition in Oslo: 

Hi, my name is Rebecca and here is my Armies on Parade entry. The building is made off card board boxes, covered in squares of plastic card. The faces you see around it, are different materials. The smaller ones are made by casting doll-faces and angle statues in green-stuff. While the big one it the head of a mannequin, used by hairdressers. I actually had to shave it and cover the top with filler. 

The leader of my group is called Matris Magnæ. She is also depicted on the two paintings on the towers. This model is based on a Nurgle Blight King. She has Goblin arms, Plaguebearer legs and a hed from the fat priest from Bretannia's Men at Arms box. Her chair is based on a Plaguedrone with spider legs from the Goblin Spider Riders.

Matris Magnæ's slaves, carrying her luggage as she walks in here garden. They are based on Skaven with Flagellant heads. 

The Pig Rider is one of my favourite models in the group. He controls the kingdoms food production and trade with other colonies. The model is based on a plaguebearer with a zombie head. His pig is actually a plastic toy pig from the toy store, with some modifications done to it. 

This mode is based on a Blight King. He is the commander of her majesties mutant cyborg army. 

Another model based on a Blight King. She is the minister of culture and entertainment. 

The final minister is Gregor the XVIth, master of coin. He is based on Festus the Leechlord.

I also converted an Imperial Knight into a walking organ. The civilisation have lived relatively peacefully for centuries, and have no real use for warmachines. The Knights main purpose is to play music and lift heavy objects. 

One of the Royal Guards based on a Plaguebearer with Mechannicus legs. 

Lastly we have her majesties army of mutants. Because it has been so long since the colony went to war, the army is mostly for show, and practically useless in battle. Together with the Knight they make a good parade. These guys are based on Goblins from GW's Hobbit range. Their heads have been swapped for Space Marine backpack vents. 

Thanks for reading! If you would like to see pictures of what I'm currently working on, you can check out my Instagram.

I came across this cool sketch of one of my Mechanical Spider Daemons on Instagram by dark_tech_ (Link). I really like it, and decided to share it on the Blog.

MUTANTS FOREVER!

In the last post I showed you my Armies on Parade display. This time I'm going to show you some better pictures of the mutants I displayed there. I've been converting and painting mutants like this for  over a year. Some of the models you'll see here have been shared on this blog before, but they have been rebased to fit the display board. 

All of the mutants with the Mutant Herder in the middle. 

I converted and painted ten new decease infected Mutants a couple of days before the competition. 

My favourites from the new batch. 

Some classic Mutants. Note the little mouths randomly placed on these ones. 

The Mutants last year with repainted bases. 

My favourites from the old batch. 

The Mutant Herder with a new base. You have seen this one before, but it's one of my favourite models, so you'll see it again. 

I also rebased my Slaaneshi Queen and her Brutes. 

Lastly I have the Mutants I made as a replacement for the Schuttlings in Silver Tower. These guys have been cast from the kingdom, and are forced to live underground. They are still more human than the mutants above, but they are slowly headed in the same direction.
