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.

WIP: Lord of Change

It's been a while since i converted a model with a baby face. But I still like baby faces. So here's my newest conversion; a baby faced Lord of Change!

This monster will accompany my other Tzeentch followers from the Silver Tower box.





Duel for Golden Daemon 2017

Hello all!

I've finally photographed the duel I made for this years Golden Daemon. There were a lot of amazing entries in the competition, and it was great to see all of them in the flesh. I got a finalist pin for this entry!

The base was made of a large plastic pipe cut into the right shape. The edges of the pipe were made with rusted metal plates. They where bent into place and smoothed into the surface with greenstuff. To mach the rusted texture on the plastic surface I used superglue and baking powder. Some places I also used GW crackle paint and Typhus Corrosion. I gave the outside of the pipe an earthy texture using white glue, sand, earth and roots. 

The Genestealer isn't converted at all. It's a model from Space Hulk. The Genestealer bursting through the floor os one of my favourite miniatures. I used greenstuff, superglue, cracklepaint and typhus corrosion to smooth it into the pipe. 

The human explorer is a mix of Solar Auxillia and Genestealer Cult bits, with a Chaos Renegade Militia backpack. I regret using a helmeted head on this one. He would look more surprised and scared if I you could see his facial expressions. 

The rust was painted by stippling AK interactive rust effects and rust coloured FW weathering powders over a dark brown undercoat.

Magnus the Red conversion by Rebecca

Hello! I'm Rebecca.

Last time I posted here, I showed you my Armies on Parade entry. You can see it here. 

This time I'm showing the largest model i made for the Vortapt IV campaing. The model is based on Magnus the red. I didn't really care for the Magnus model, but saw it without armour on a painting tutorial. I think it's really cool that they have sculpted a torso under the armour plates. This is what I wanted to focus on when I made the model. This might look like a crazy conversion, but I haven't really done much more than removing the armour and swapping his arms and head. 

I tried a new painting technique on my Magnus. The flesh is done mostly with washes and glazes over a corax white primer.

Nestorian Infestation: Giant Psychic Spore

Here is my newest creation for the Nestorian Infestation project. This is the same kind of miniature as the baby faced giant servitor I made last year (LINK). But this one has a mix of both mechanical parts and flesh. 

The Genestealer Cult uses a mix of Mechanicum and Genestealer technology to create their warmachines. This one is an unstable Psychic Spore hidden behind a metal shield made from the face of a metal statue. 

I based this model on the big spore and tentacles from the Tyranid drop pod kit. The face is a greenstuff copy of a cheap angel statue.
