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).

The Red Thirst

Slowly back into the swing of things; it has been a while since posting but the backlog has not diminished. Time to do something about it.

The mighty IXth Legion has been wallowing in bitz piles or basecoated and forgotten. here are a couple of pics for WiP.

Out of the bitz box, spare Dredd parts to form a new furioso.


I have started to make Right Arm DCCWs from left fists and Dredd leg parts.
The legs on the left are from 3 legs to make hips as well, then a couple of cabling parts to blend.



Then there is Moriar the Fallen ....
I have had a version of him from 2nd Ed.

This is from the old metal Furioso model (I have another one that is stripped and ready to go....)


He is looking a touch "aged" now and less than spectacular; but Forgeworld have solved this for me, "Hehehehehe"


The Chaplain Dredd is just screaming to me ..."Moriar ... Moriar!"



With the Blood Talons option for him, Heavy Flamer and Melta of course.
A few BA embellishments from the DC, BT and Sanguinary Guard sprues, some guitar wire, he is ready for painting.

Finally (for the moment)..

A bucket of BA bitz, ready for Troops...


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).
