For The Laugh

Troll o lol

Hur, Upgrades.

So it's Calgar but not as you know him Jim

I'd have preferred him to have become a dreadnought myself.

This begs the question ; will other named characters get the upgrade?

Easy Build Flame Storm Aggressors And Foul Blight Spawn

I started these yesterday with assembly and base coating, the easy build Flame storm Aggressors are really nice and easy to put together, about the only issue with them is the arm lugs, which I'm going to cut off and just glue the arms on to the body.
The Foul Blight spawn mini is a full sprue and it's fairly straight forward to build, bar the pump handle. I'm thinking of going with an old school Death Guard colour scheme and this was a test bed for those colours, I'll do the second one in the black and green colours featured in the Conquest magazine and put it up for a vote.

Unpause

The Cotterell Class Scout Titan has been sat on top of the fridge for over a year while I decided on how to arm it, as I was unable to find anything  close size wise in the discount and charity shops in town.
Last week I bought a not a dremmel and  today trimmed some of the length from the Rhino body at long last. There's a Warhound Vulkan mega bolter on its way from Troll Trader and saving for a second weapon in the new year.
So should have some more progress on this soon, might even start painting it next year.

And Now I'm Done

I present Jake Cabe, Baron of the Lancastrian city of Cottonopolise, and one of the first to declare loyalty to the High Lord of Lancaster Henry the VI and The Imperium of Man over the vile Yorkist Independents!
Cabe attacked the Yorkist strong hold of Londinium, in an attempt to free the imprisoned Henry, along with a handful of Knights and several thousand foot soldiers they breached the city and held several key cross roads but where unable to reach and free Henry from the clutches of the Yorkist Independents! Cabe was soon approached by several Earls with promises of rewards if he would bring his follows to fight for their banner , but being from a minor noble family his ambition was to become one of the biggest families on Lancastria.

I Was Close. So Close

So while I was doing this I tried fitting the beetle carapace on the old chap, I was right about it getting making the old guy to nearly the same height as the new version. Which lead me to thinking about redoing the shoulders with the plates off the new version after I was so close to finishing this one.
So which one; Tartarus Terminator plate or new knight shoulder plates?

Chop Shop Lives Up To It's Name.

Chopped the chain sword and the cannon off, swopped the weapons around and updated them, the cannons are magnetised so can be swopped.
I added the plastic feet to give it a bit more height and hacked up a pair of the side plates to get the exhaust stacks and green stuffed them to the back.
Sat waiting for the green stuff to cure before I can pack it up. Will look to get it painted at work tonight, if I can get some sleep today.
