Mekaniak - Warhammer 40K

Welcome. A veteran player of the 40K hobby from the Games Workshop.Not satisfied with standard "straight out of the box/blister" models; I like to "Konvert" to put my own interpretation or vision of how I want my figures to look. Often to project the "fluff" or for WYSIWIG. Some model ranges have a very limited variation or expression .... I like to introduce a change (Sisters of Battle). Some have an unlimited scope for variation (Orks).

Showcase: My Armies

As a slight distraction from the Stormboyz (painting them in piecemeal at the moment.) I thought I would just post up a couple of bits from my other forces; any general photos that I have handy.
So here goes.

A small portion of my speedfreeks:

The Deffkopters have now swollen to 17 strong, with approximately 4 trukboyz mobs and 2 Battlewagons.










Here we have1500 pts of My Space Marine Chapter: The Iron Fists.

Spookily they are a minor colour variant of my Blood Angels (as I have in excess of 1200 pts, I'm adapting what I have.

The Dread drop pod is a scratchbuild prototype with working doors and rotating Stormbolter, that I made from a (very quickly removed) template from GW. This allowed card drop pods to be made, I tried it with foamcard, styrene junior enginering and trial & error.

This one heads up with Capt Xander (Lysander) and a Sternguard retinue, but I have ChapterMaster Canter (Kantor) and a Master of the Forge to add.


These are the concept designs for the Chapter. Trooper & Veteran included

From the Excellent Design Template, the Link included below.
And,
Yes I did leave a contribution. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/smpbeta.php

For the Sisters of Battle:

I have this colour scheme for The Conclave of ABBA. The vehicles are a lovely 1980s gold lame effect, and the armour is supposed to be marbling effect; but i couldn't do it, so it ended up as a light wash of green.
I do need better pictures of these, especially the Seraphim (made with Swooping Hawk Exarch wings).
Recently added are: Inquisitor Karamazov (I love him), A squad of Redemptionist to paint up, and St Celestine (her face to finish).


Of the Blood Angels ...........
I am completely suprised that I have almost no photos available on them.

All I have at the moment is a poor shot of my Space Hulk Termies



I love the paintjob I managed on the armour for these; I actually went for glossy for a change. (definitely better photos needed).

So, just a quick taster of whatever I have.

A Celestine WiP and two kitbashed Trukk WiPs




Thanks for looking; the Stormboyz up next.

About Me

My photo
A modeller, gamer, painter; in order of preference (and more like skill as well). I usually have a huge backlog of figures and projects to get done. More often than not, I will have something waiting around for years, until "The Muse" takes hold and obsession takes over. This is then usually completed; ocassional projects do stall and are left at the basecoat and metal drybrushed stage (until I can get the drive for the detail painting). Armies i currently run are WH40K only: Orks (lots & lots & lots) Blood Angels (lots & lots) Witch Hunters (lots of Sisters of Battle) Iron Fists Space Marines (developing at approx 2000pts).
