Skarsog’s Wildboyz – Wild Ork Outlawz

Pulling a plastic push-fit Warhammer Orc out of the leadpile,  I thought to myself “gosh, what am I going to do with this then?”.  I considered a few ideas… perhaps I could put together a Warhammer regiment.  Maybe I could use an arm with a gun instead of an arm with a sword and have it as a feral-looking boy in a boyz mob.  But I wanted to do another Freebooterz unit.  Wait a minute!  Is that a bit of my brain trying to alert me to something… I checked the book, riffled through the pages, there it is!  Wild Ork Outlawz, discovered by Freebooterz instead of proper Orks, who learn Kultur from them and are forever ruined for the Clans…  There were no proper figures for Wild Orkz, you were probably supposed to use Warhammer miniatures, with minor conversions.  So that is what I did.  Not a lot of Oldhammer goodness here, but Oldhammer in spirit.  Enjoy!

Mary’s Bar – a foray into 40k terrain.

40k, Rogue Trader, scenery

So this is my latest piece of terrain.  I’ve been working on it for quite some time, put it down, broke bits off, left it for a while, came back to it.  The usual.  My experience of model-making is limited, so this is part of the learning curve.  My earlier buildings were quite basic, and I wanted to make something that looked a bit more like I’d given it some effort.  I learned a fair bit on this.  Firstly, that attaching heavy plastic bits to a light polystyrene base won’t last long.  Secondly, I learned a fair bit about basing.  You can, I am sure, see from the photos that I changed direction very early into adding sand and static grass to the base.  Still, the next one will be better, and meanwhile this looks like the sort of place Rogue Traders hang out in.  Hope you like it.

These four big lugs i finished back in January but have only just gotten around to putting the imagines up here.  Got quite a backlog, to be honest.  Anyway, I’ve not really got an army for these to fit into, I just fancied painting them!  They were good fun to paint and I’m quite pleased with the results.  Enjoy!

‘e duz tricks, ‘e blows things up wiv ‘is mind, ‘e’ll make yer grotz widdle ’emselves!

Nargob is a Weirdboy who really enjoys being weird.  Where most weirdboyz are looking for an excuse to go and sit somewhere quietly out of the way, Nargob is looking for a war to fight.  He gets a thrill out of seeing how much power he can channel.  He particularly enjoys overloading over psykers and causing their heads to explode.  Long ago he left his minders behind and disappeared off in search of bigger and better battles, and along the way he has picked up a load of madboyz who sing and chant for him, doing tricks and pratfalls.  They travel from waaagh to waaagh, performing for da boyz and searching for psykers that Nargob can pit himself against.  He’s not found his match yet!

Nothing for months and months and then I finish two things in quick succession!  I’m quite pleased with this Rhino, considering that it is built from spare parts.  The main chassis and both side constructs all came from different rhinos previously built and then wrecked by hobbyists of yore.  I think I’ve covered most of the imperfections pretty well!  The biggest issue I had, aside from getting the mix-n-match parts to fit together, was when I sprayed it grey.  I’d heard about what can happen if you spray in a damp environment, but hadn’t really taken it in.  I won’t be making that mistake again!

I’ve assigned this Rhino to the 3rd Company, where it will be a dedicated transport for an assault squad.

Good afternoon everyone, here’s a second set of Space Marine Honour Guard to follow the one I did a few months ago.  It started as an excuse to renovate Honoured Brother Asmir, who I’ve posted before very early in this blog.  Asmir got himself broken, so he needed a repair job, which I used as an excuse to put him on a base and slightly improve the paintjob.  The other two are some of my favourite RT period Space Marines.  The chap with the bionic bits is a a fantastic model, I’m counting that odd sword as a relic blade!  The Ultramarines Captain is another great miniature, but it took so long to paint.

Renegade Oddboyz mob: Da Big Gunz

One muddy afternoon on a battlefield on a planet called Laroche, on the edge of the Coronid Deeps, a Mek called Wazguk and a Runtherd called Skumsol, met for the first time as they took shelter in a crater.  Wazguk complained that his Warboss wouldn’t let him use a Shokk Attack Gun.  Skumsol complained that his Warboss wasted perfectly good Snottyz on mine clearance.  At that moment an idea was born.  Shortly after this the two of them said “sod dis lark” and nicked off with a shuttle,  whatever raw materials they could pilfer, and a Painboy called Gutz who caught them nicking some bitz and fancied coming along for the ride.   Since then Wazguk has been building artillery pieces, Skumsol has been breeding the bravest Snotlings he can, and Gutz has been trying to work out how to wire Grotz into a Dred.

——–

 

I’ve been working on these on and off for a few months now.  I’m pretty pleased with them.  A nice mix of Oldhammer and Newhammer models that work well together.  The biggest problem was painting Snotlings.  I got so bored.  There were going to be 8 Snotling bases involved but after four, like the Oddboyz, I said sod dis lark.
