The Miniatures of 2017

Hello hello hello!! Happy new year everyone!

2017 was my most creative year so far. I've converted and painted even more miniatures this year than i did in 2016. I hope 2018 will be even better!

January (and the end of 2016)

I started 2017 with the Vortapt IV project, and expanded my Pestigor warband. 

February 

March

April

In April I turned Robute Gulliman into a Chaos Lord of Malal for AoS28. I also managed to complete several half finished miniatures for Silver Tower and Nestorian Infestation. 

May

In May I entered a duel in Golden Daemon and got a finalist pin!

July

My Genestealer Cult for Nestorian Infestation was featured in Blanchitsu in July. I also got my hands on the new 40k starter-box and started a new Nurgle project. I finally got around to paint the Lord of Slaanesh I converted several years ago. 

August

In August, September and October I worked on my Tor Megiddo warband. I traveled to Helsinki in October and played an awesome game with several talented hobbyists!

September

October

 November

It was about time GW made some better proportioned Space Marine miniatures. I'll definitely convert some more Primaris Marines in 2018.

December

My AoS28 collection is slowly getting bigger. In 2018 I'm planning to add a Great Unclean One to the group.

Thats it for 2017! My favourite miniature of the year is probably the Abalone Mutant (the thing with claws and a snail shell from August). Which one is your favourite??

WIP: Emperors Children Warband

A couple of months ago, I converted a Slaaneshi Chaos Lord from the remains of Fulgrim and a Genestealer. Since last time I showed him, I've finished the green-stuffing on the model. I've also started to create a warband for the Lord. I'm thinking a similar colour-sheme and basing as my Daemon Fulgrim and his squad of fallen Emperors Children: Link. Maybe they'll end up being an army some day.

My Slaaneshi Lord from last year, with some cables and green-stuff added. 

No Slaaneshi warband is complete without some Noise Marines, so I started converting a squad. I based the models on a FW EC Kakaphoni squad. These models are extremely detailed, and look amazing. But their weapons are stupidly oversized, even for 40k standards. I decided to give them classic sonic blasters instead, and use the FW ones on bigger models (like the Lord and Contemptor).

I've had these Phoenix Guard Terminators for ages, but wasn't happy with the way I had started to build and paint them. When working on the Noise Marines, I found them lying in a box, and started to rebuild them in a more post-heresy fashion.

I'm not yet sure what this model is supposed to be, but I like the way the conversion is going. Still have some work left to do on this guy. 

Lastly I made a Contemptor Dreadnought for the warband. I used two spare FW sonic blasters to create a fitting weapon, and a Screamer of Tzeentch tail as a Slaanesi close combat weapon.

WIP: Lobster-Claw shoes

I just started building some new models for my Slaanesh warband. There aren't many female GW models to choose from, and I never really liked the Daemonettes. But I got a box of them in my Spikey Bots Mystery Box, that I wrote about a week ago. 

I played around with the bits, and came up with a creepy looking female model, that will fit perfectly in with the rest of the warband.

The inspiration i used for giving the Daemonette claws as feet, was some photos of Lobster-Claw looking shoes I stumbled over on Google. Few things look as Slaaneshi as these shoes. 

I also made a couple of mutants to go with the warband. I used Space Marine backpack bits for their heads and mouths. They are supposed to look like some kind of sonic weapon, a smaller version of the ones used by Noise Marines.

Fulgrim & Slaanesh Emperors Children

A couple of months ago, I made a small squad of Emperors Children, based on FW's Palatine Blades squad, to go with my converted Daemon Fulgrim. When I began converting my new Slaanesh Lord, I remembered that I hadn't posted the Slaanesh Emperors Children Squad. I also got myself a new lightbulb, which makes the photos brighter and less yellow. Enjoy!
