Toy's n' That....

[Lord Borak]

Cool stuff. Are these your designs? I have stumbled upon these before and that's where the idea for Rubrum Nanums prow came from - in fact the whole ship is based on the Heavy transports. I was going to do a very similar prow for the High Conveyor but never bothered with it.

I could make something like those pods. That shouldn't take too long or be that much of a problem. Maybe when I get my ar$e into gear and make the second prow I'll make some of those pods to go with it.

[Malika]

Nah, they're not mine. Just felt like sharing these with you.

[Ragsta]

Commendable plasticard skills, sir, and a spiffy paint job on that fleet carrier too.

[Lord Borak]

Thanks Ragsta

Not a massive update but we're currenty moving house so Hobby time is at a premium at the moment! Still, to add to my growing collection of BFG scenery I have some planets. Excuse the quality of the pictures, the lighting is horrific. The green pools are actually highlighted bilious green so are quite luminous in reality. Maybe some more pics tomorrow..... maybe.




I had bought a cheap resin 'copy' of a Retribution from China as a present for a fellow hobbyist but the quality of the cast was pants so I ended up salvaging what I could and re-did my 'sawn-off' Battleship. This will be my Avenger Grand cruiser for my Rogue Trader fleet (with armoured prow, Prow torps and 45cm Weapon Batteries!!!). I also went ahead and painted/finished some swords.







The 'Stone Fleet'. 6 more escorts to do and then I''ll start work on the Merchant fleet


Next up is either some 'Heavy Escorts' (Havocs with 45cm weapon batteries) or two Mechantmen.... We'll see what happens....... I could end up doing something completely different. 

[Malika]

Love the weapon batteries you've done on the Grand Cruiser.

[Lord Borak]

Cheers mate. I needed them to look like Strength 20 Weapon Batteries. I still don't think it's enough but it's what it's got :/


Well, the two Merchantmen are done. Based on the Dauntless hull. Fluff-wise they are mothballed and derelict Siluria class cruisers that have been recommissioned and converted into transport ships.  I'm thinking about adding some freehand or something to the prows but I couldn't decide what........ so, until I do they are finished.

[Lord Borak]

Well, some work this afternoon saw me build the 'master' model for my transport. It's not massively detailed but considering how small it is IT WILL DO. I'm going to see if my 'Caster' can knock this up for me as I need 12. If not I'll have to have a go myself. 0.o

[marell le fou]

I love this merchant ship. A very different aspect than military ones, and smaller, fatty... A very good addition.

[Malika]

Very interesting conversion work there, especially what you've done with the light cruisers!

[Lord Borak]

Glad you guys like the little ship I'll post him off to the casters tomorrow.

The Merchantmen came about because I had two miscast resin dauntless sitting about in the miscast box (no, never throw anything away!). They were too knackered to bother saving but the engine blocks were usable!!

Anyway, speaking of casts. I got my first sneak peek of the High Conveyor today. A few issues with the mould/cast - as you can see but I'm told he will address these issues in the next few goes. ((Hopefully I'll grab any miscasts!!))

[Chios]

Outstanding! The design and execution are so good, the kit would be nearly indistinguishable if set next to original GW miniatures.
My sincerest env...
erm...
gratulations!
Yes.
That's what I meant! 

[Lord Borak]

Thanks man!We'll see if you can see her when I picture her amongst the fleet. (should be easy! She's the biggest one!). don't be envious, just get one when I get the first batch

Well, Sh!t just got serious! I've been tinkering around with a whole warband for around about a year and I finally have all the parts to proceed with my little band of Merry Assassins and desperadoes. First up is....

Gravier BRASK: Inquisitorial Agent, Investigator and general finder of bad and naughty people. Based on a few models but I'm sure you know the parts. His pose is a little 'off' but he will be walking down some stairs (which makes the pose work).





Next up is....

Annabelle Orphea: Inquisitorial Agent and operative. She specialises in stealth missions and generally being freaking deadly. Still seriously WIP but I sculpted a face AND I LIKE IT!!! (mostly).




She will eventually end up looking similar to this picture...


You may remember I tried to do this model before but, in fairness, I didn't like the conversion I did so I'm starting again. Yay!

[radu lykan]

But... but... but where's their power armour? 
Good stuff, how deadly are we talking on Annabelle?

[Lord Borak]

After these two, a Navigator and a Kal Jerico model I'll be doing a Sister of Battle. So there's your Power armour. After her it's the SPACE WOLF. So, that good enough for ya?

As for "How Deadly". Honestly, I dunno. No where near Assassin deadly but Deathcult sort of stats maybe? She'll be more of an all rounder but will mostly rely on stealth rather than HULK SMASH. (Que The Space Wolf).

[marell le fou]

I like the face very much too. You did well on this, congrats !
