Patrol Leader Sheila

Started the Patrol Leader Sheila yesterday, the orginal plan for this gang was going to be based on Gene Hunt from the BBC Life On Mars. 

But with the colour choice I've gone for being based on the Australian Rugby league shirts the naming of the gang is going to be a mix of Ausie nick names and characters from Life on Mars.

Block House AV14

 Woop woop, that's the sound of the police.

These boys and girls are going to come round your house and stamp on all your toys.

Made a start on the block House AV14 for the Necromunda campaign my groups running. 

Got the belts finished this morning, planning a nice dark angel green uniform with yellow detailing in the style of the Australian Rugby league shirts.

I need to find those heads from the Sequotors kit I trimmed for these. 

Monthly Vow 12th Of March To the 12th Of April

 Monthly Vow time, how did I do? 

The core goals were reached! With a little extra added on as well... 

What about April?

Well the Deathwing Terminators need painting and the Enforcers need building and painting, which I think is a safe target for now. Any extras will get added to the post as always. 

Review Time 

I got the bits stripped and cleaned for the metal Land Speeder 

As it didn't come with any pilots I had to cut the pilot and gunner out off the crushed one, there was a leg day to make them fit in the seats with green stuff used. 

The inside shoulder pads had to be left off so that they would fit side by side, which shows scale creep has been going on for years. 

I put the head on the gunner before it went in the box.

I'd bought the Storm Speeder off a mate, the one who is building the Legion of the Damned, but his plan changed and I got this off h9m for my Ravenwing army. 

I'd been holding off buying one of these as I was put off by the grav plates after the I'd built Repulsor, and not hearing any chatter about them in the Dark Angels group. 

Putting the skimmer together was very nice, everything is a pleasure, and I'd be happy to build a second, although I think I'd be buying the up armoured upgrade kits. 

I've got the link saved on my home so I can get that armoured skimmer. 

The Chronomancer dropped with the Imperium series a couple of weeks before I got to this one. I dug the Mechanicus box that has the guys with the swords and got 4 arms, my original plan had been to use 4 of the same swords, I'd cut 4 swords off and put them in a safe place. A very safe place, so safe I forgot where they were, so I ended up using 4 more swords, and used different ones this time. There was some green stuff used on the shoulders as well as a bit of filing to get 2 shoulders into a socket designed for 1 arm, and a different arm at that. 

, 

Each sword has an edge highlight of a different colour, red, yellow, blue and green.

And Pakal The Great was finished, of course with Pakal looking like a certain Cyborg general from a certain franchise I had to add an upgrade to the action Ezikael I and so I raided the coin jar and bought a box of the Sequotors with a specific head that just so happens to look like a certain Jedi Master.. 

I also need to get a better angle on this. 

Before I got the clash photos set up I made a start on the Gravis Beliel, using bits from the Heavy Intercessor Captain and the fine cast Beliel.

I really can't chose between the storm bolter arm and the master crafted Bolt Rifle so I painted both.

Once this was done I got the clash together with some scenery from the Mortal Realms Series. 

I'd also gone half's on a box of Deathwing Terminators and made the plan to paint them at the same time as I painted the new Muegan Ra. 

That didn't work out. 

I got this assembled and lost the short arm under the sofa for a couple of days. 

I used contrast Black templar on the robe with corvus black with eshin grey and Adeptus grey as a high light. 

The top knot was given a base of screamer pink, Crimson wash, a layer of wazdakka red and a highlight of troll Slayer orange. 

Lastly, and not that you can see it I dabbed some wazdakka red in the eyes, with a small highlight of evil sun's scarlett. I had to add a touch of screaming skull to the bridge of the nasal cavity. 

Last thing yesterday I dug out the Telvig box was get the old metal Muegan Ra out and get them out for a side by side shot.

Meugan Ra, Plastic

 Got the new plastic Meugan Ra finished apart from the base, think I'll go with the Martian Iron Crust on the base to give it some colour.

The eyes are a red as well, not that it's very visible when you look at the mini. 

Only thing left to do is dig out his dad and see how they compare side by side

Building Day

 Oldest child's birthday over the weekend, so the only thing done was cooking, bar a trip to Preston to grab the Eldar Codex, data cards and Muegan Ra, then the afternoon in the kitchen cooking some Chinese Street food. 

Yesterday I made a start on Muegan Ra getting it half built before the left arm was dropped and bounced under the sofa as I dry fitted it, not realising I needed the backpack on it to get the right fit. 

I fumed for an hour or so then dug out the box of Deathwing Terminators I'd gone halves on with a mate, had to order some crux terminartus shoulder pads and raid the bits box for a right handed power fist from the Tartarus box, I used the sword arm from Beliel and had to find a bolt gun arm, I think I'll add the Fine Cast version of Beliel to this squad and in my head this squad is 1 step away from joining the Deathwing Knights and The Inner Circle, which will mean all bone armour, not sure what colour robes to do, think it'll be green, when I get round to painting them tomorrow, hopefully I can get them finished before work on Thursday. 

Hello There. Epistolary Kenobi

 With finishing Pakal The Great I had to dig the Action Ezikael out of the box.

Yesterday I raided my coin jar and bought the Sequotors box with the right head for this, once home I got the head painted, and took a few more of the helmet less heads for other projects.

This morning I got some scenery out and cobbled together a little bit of a back drop for this.
