Making bases for the Reapers

When the Soul Reapers were replaced Mr Justin at Secret Weapon Miniatures donated bases for the rebuild. To which I am very grateful for, however since that time GW has moved Marines from 25mm bases to 32mm bases; I would just purchases 32mm bases from him as replacements however I am totally strapped for funds right now, so have decided to make my own replacements.

I am using Sculpey clay to sculpt the base tops; Sculpey is a work into shape clay that you bake to harden once ready. Here are the initial test bases raw and cut to size.

Here are the same bases painted with some WiP Reapers on them.

Here are a couple compared to a 40mm SWM resin base

They are a little rough, the next batch will be a bit thinner with crisper lines, but they will work very well in the long run.

Until next time!

Lord of the Reapers Table Ready

The Soul Reapers rebuild is officially under way, as last night I finished up painting my conversion for Krüg the Beheader the Warlord of the army. 

My buddy even made a Datasheet with his narrative gaming stats

 

Next up will be a squad of Chaos Space Marines kitbased together from the Mk 4, Mk 3 and CSM model kits.

Until next time…..

Warzone Resurrection Painting Challenge Month 2

Sorry for the delayed post so late in the month. I have been having computer issues and script issues with Blogger.

Warzone Painting Challenge Month One

Here are the completed models for month one of the challenge. Unfortunately mine are not here my camera is so jacked up I need to pick a new one up next week cause it will be cheaper than fixing the old one.

Fist up we have Talos' ginormous pledge!

Next we have Paul's Capitol

Klas' Capitol wrap us up this month!

Until next time Keep your powder dry and lead flying!

January Warzone Painting challenge extended

Due to a comedy of events, I am extending the deadline for Januarys challenge. Next Wed the 19th will be the new deadline.

My camera has its shutter jammed for some reason and it is not in the shop being fixed. Plus if I am being honest I did not completely finish my pledge as well, since still I need to finish all my bases today.

Big Bob Watts enters the Warzone painting challenge

Ok so I got a wild hair to paint the Hero of the Capitol Corporation the bad ass himself Big Bob Watts. A seriously cool miniature sporting 2 miniguns!

Until next time, keep your powder dry and bullets flying!

Warzone Resurrection Painting Challenge January

Here is my initial commitment for January, 8 Undead Legionnaires, a Necromutant squad commander and a Necrobeast Rider. If I decide to paint more, I will add a pre painted shot here to let everyone know!

Everyone has from today until Feb 12th to paint their pledges. Also anyone can join at any time, since this is a for fun lets get our stuff painted challenge. So far it looks like about 10 people will be joining and painting along, which is great!

Until next time, keep your powder dry and lead flying!

The Warzone Resurrection painting challenge!

Many of us are sitting with large piles of Prodos games resin goodness in our possession and they ain’t gonna paint themselves. I figure it is time to as a community motivate each other to get our armies on the table!

This painting challenge is for Warzone Resurrection models only, painting old school models is not what this challenge is for; this is to motivate people to paint their new miniatures.

If you choose to participate you will be pledging to paint 10-12 models in a one month timeframe; which is basically a starter sets worth of minis. You may paint more if you wish, but the 10-12 is your initial goal.

The only prize is the satisfaction of having painted miniatures to game with.

This Challenge will run from Wednesday Jan 15^th until Wednesday June 11th. At the start of every 4 week cycle just tell us what you are going to paint, then post an unpainted or primed pic with the current date in the background and then get to painting! When you are finished painting post pics of your work for everyone to enjoy.

At the end of every month I will gather up the finished photos from the participants and post them here on my blog, to showcase the glory of everyone’s painted miniatures!
