Teleport Homer

Hey all I know its nothing special but I was working on rebasing the small amount of Deathwing I have to spice up my miniature painting and making. I like to do a variety of things at once to keep everything interesting because as we all know the same thing regardless of what it is gets boring after a while. So I figured Id show a use for the small square bases:

Its a humble teleport homer. Its based in the same style as my deathwing will all be. A space hulk/ ship basing. Its nothing fancy. But instead of using the circle bases they supply I decided to use a small square base and save the circle bases until i need to use them for markers. I will post a group shot with some deathwing at some point in the future.

Just a quick update. I am working on a second crusade era Thousand Son Terminator. Tonight ill pick up the High Elf archer box for bits as long as the Local Gaming store has them in stock. If not there is another local store I can check it for tomorrow. Once I get the box ill do a short tutorial on how I do my Thousand Sons heads.

Well as always if anyone does read feel free to leave comments.

What to do with the Square bases?

Hey all just thought id post a little something. If your like me and you dint play warhammer fantasy then you probably will have plenty of square bases left over from the warhammer boxes in which you get your bits for conversion unless of course you bit ordered.
If you also play warhammer fantasy then you could probably find some uses for them but as I don't play warhammer fantasy i had a bunch of bases sitting around. So I did a little something with one of the chariot bases:
It can easily be used as a strategic assets for city fight or apocalypse or just used as a small piece of terrain. Its not much but it something to add some spice to a board. Now you could also use them for objective markers in any style from forest to space hulk. You could also use the small square bases for mine fields.

Ill post more in the future on how i used the small square bases. Feel free to comment! Share how you use extra bases be they round or square.

Thousand Sons Marine

Finished my second tactical marine for my Crusade era Thousand Sons. So here he is!

I am enjoying creating this army. Next to the Dark Angels, The Thousand Sons are nearly tied with the Unforgiven, along with some other legions, but comparatively I feel the Thousand Sons are one of the most Unique both in there represented Artwork and abilities.

I will be putting off making more Thousand Sons fully until after Thursday night. What I mean is I wont be doing the heads just yet until after that day.

In case anyone was wondering how i made these guys ill list off the materials:

Plasticard

Warhammer Fantasy Warriors of Chaos box

Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings Chariot box

Space Marine and Chaos Space Marine terminator and squad boxes

After thursday (assuming its in stock) Warhammer Fantasy High Elves Archers box. I'll post how once i get it.

Its pretty straight forward how to make the heads but once i make them again ill put another short little tutorial up on how its done. Take Care.

Thousand Sons Legion Marking

Hey all I thought since I was working on another Thousand Sons tactical marine that I would show how I achieve the passable legion marking. I am not good at freehand circles on a curved surface so i get a little help:
These things are what you put on paper to repair ripped holes from binders. I forget there name but they actually work pretty well. I must warn that they are a little big then what would be ideal for making circles on these shoulder pads. But until i found a better template that holds to the pad ill make do with this.

As you can see I situate it as center to the pad as i can and gently press it down onto the shoulder. Its meant to stick with paper doesn't have a strong bond to the plastic. This is good because when you take it off it wont leave any residue or take any paint. Just use the inside circle as your template and make your circle.

And that's the finished marking after the template is removed. It is a little big for a shoulder pad but it works. This will work even better on vehicles and dreadnoughts I would imagine as there are more flat surfaces to use this on. I have no tried it on a metal surface and I do not plan to as my goal for this crusade era army is to be all plastic.

Once i have this marine finished ill post shots of him as well.

Some Unforgiven

Dark Angels are my 1st and my core army. In the end it all comes back to them for me. So here are some marines from a tactical squad. Sergeant a bolter marine and meltagunner. I'm aware of the sprue mark on the back packs but i didn't feel like filing them. it looks fine from gaming distance.


The Sergeant is that special edition marine from the online deal from games workshop. A little minor "conversion work" on him and I like how it turned out. Take care.

Traitor Thousand Sons

Here they are the reason my crusade era Thousand Sons will use the new Space Marine codex. My chaos Thousand Sons... WIP.

That terminator sorcerer was painted in 3 hours that's from opening the box to having it fully painted and assembled. SO its not bad for that. I will touch it up over time. the Aspiring sorcerer is done but his squad is in various stages of completion.. Ill get to them one day. At least the Land Raider is done. I own the entire army I'm going to field its just not made yet. I have put them on the back burner as a side project ill do at paint fests we occassionally have at times.. although I think ill be painting my Eldar warlock and pathfinders before I work on my 24 thousand sons. But that's for another post. Take care.

Some of my Tau

As I've stated prior I have a small force of tau. Fire warriors A devilfish and these 3 guys. Until I get a Farsight model the plasma gunner is my Shas'O. the twin fusion gunner is primarily for combat patrol but he also fits in my list. End the Broadside is the Shas'vre of the team.. I just need to get him a team!

So there they are. Painted in the colors of Farsight as is my entire army from firewarrior to drone to vehicle. Now I know the fluff around it and there are a few ways to paint an army for Farsight and I went this way. Also you'll notice that there are no sept marks on them. MY army has no sept marks and any Tau symbols like the one on fire warrior shoulder pads are done in black. The fluff behind my army is that they are dedicated to the greater good but are not a part of the Tau empire hence the lack of sept markings. They are all bonded too. Two of them have the bonding knife from the firewarrior sprue to represent the bonding knife.
