Beers and Brawls

A long time coming on this guy. A converted mountain king. In one hand, a bursting keg of beer. Under the other, a legion
Angelius!


Probably the most extensive kitbash ive done. The two hands were resculpted (the lower fist is normally flat at the knuckles. The Anglius was bent and contorted in all manners and was outfitted with a new tail.

Much like the Beer Bomber before him, the beer was done with clear blister plastic and water effects dyed with some sepia wash.

Master Necrotech Mortenebra


The completed Master Necrotech Mortenebra and crew.




First up is the big gal herself. Fitted with a new cankerworm body, I have to say this is one of my favorite conversions I've done to day. Its a busy model , with eight arms/claws in total. The color of the armor was inspired by a lot of the green/yellow insects you see, notably beetles. It felt right with the centipede body and the overall insect-like aesthetic.


Her little buddy Deryliss. Got to do some fun color transition on the robes.





Lastly, the leftovers of Mortenebra and the Cankerworm were reporposed into a Cryxian objective. A little guy I've affectionately been calling the Cankerbug, I loaded  up his base with some parts (The Mortenebra model came with an extra shoulder claw, woot!), plasticard and gears I found in the jewelry making section at my local Michaels.

Extreme Mauler


Finally got this guy finished up! Was a gift for a friend/client from another friend/client. He had it lying around and was never using it, so he decided it needed a new home with an actual troll player.

The base is actually a metal one, for the sole purpose of weighing this guy in at a little over 1 lb. 1 lb of pewter a good handful to hold while painting. And which is why I stressed he should put it on his mantlepiece as a nice trophy rather than having it tip over on the board.

All parties were please with this guy, espeically its new owner, as metal extremes are now out of production.

Fell Caller Hero Concept


With the Riven Bonds league on the way, I took a look at the trollblood's hero, the Fell Caller. A decent model, though suffering in size much like many troll models now with the newer sculpts at their side. My initial thought was to just add a helmet and do-dads like my others to have it in theme.

Then I realized I had no lady trolls in the army. Then I realized this would be a great time to actually to a mini from scratch, like I had been jawing on about for 2 or so years.

Much of her look is derived from the Gunnbjorn Cygnar/Troll mixed theme along with some WW2 elements that I have been going with. Rather than the normal back...thing, I opted to have a salvaged Nomad 'jack exhaust instead.

Converted Mortenebra Part 1

A shot of a conversion & painting commision of Master Necrotech Mortenebra. The client wanted to do away with the normal body and give her a swanky Cankworm body, so I worked my hobby knife magic (and lost no chunks of skin in the process!).

This one was throughly pinned, as she is quite the delicate model. All of the "limbs" were pinned into place, as well as the two body section to ensure its structural integrity.


Deryliss is also being worked on, but was kept as is, so nothing worth showing until we get some paint on them.

X-Wing!

Finally managed to get some pictures of some X-Wing mini's that I had done in the recent past for a client.

The Fett Man himself. Slave 1 redone in a slightly darker and grittier look than the factory stock paint.


Kath Scarlet's Firespray



Krassis Trelix's Firespray. The yellow on this one came out pretty well.



And the last in the bunch, a sleek black Lambda Shuttle with Imperial Cog decals (actually nail decals).
