Legion of the Damned Finale post

As I work on my converted scions, I couldn't help but keep thinking of finishing up these guys, so i finally spent the past few days happily making it into perfection.

For the sergeant in the middle, I added the soft armor as I didn't have it when I first did it, which could be found at some post long time ago. 

The Damned Legionnaire at the most left has an arm carrying the bolter with his left hand. This was by far one of the hardest converting that I actually did. I have the urge to make some videos on how to do it, so that space marines army wouldn't be limited to only right hand bolters. If I remember correctly, space wolves has left arm bolters but with the wolf iconography, so changing one yourself might be more worth it. 

The guy at the most right has a bayonet fixed onto his bolter as I wanted him to have a pose that shows him charging and firing his bolter at the same time.

All shoulder pads and armor have been sculpted using green stuff. I then assembled these guys as shown using a non-hardening putty as I have the habit of putting them together only after I have painted them all up ( looks at unassembled army at the side of the room ) For the greenstuff I used 2 part yellow to 1 part blue as I wanted it to be soft for easy modelling.

So that's all for my Damned Legionnaires, hope you guys like it, comments and criticism are welcomed. Hopefully I can get the scions ready within a week, so do look out for it. See you guys later.

Blog Update #1

So in the midst of all my examinations and have some free time up that I could not dedicate too fully to any projects I am on, I thought I'd use the time for some blog update. If you have been following my blog, you would have seen that I have been changing some stuff from the blog here and there.

Today, I announce that my first blog update is finally completed and it allows you to navigate the pages much easier. There are links to pages at the top of the blog homepage to allow you to navigate my whole range of post based on their main label, such as conversions, painting, Star Wars, and a few more. This would allow you to visit the page which you are interested in and view for updates, rather than having a need to read through all the post at the homepage.

So that's all for my very first blog update, hope you guys like it. Do give me some comments on how I could further improve it to better suit your you guys viewing my blog. Thank you and I would see you soon.

Militarum Tempestus Scions Conversion Update #1

Hey all, I'm back again. This time I'm back with an update. Remember a post long long time ago where I did some conversions? Yes, I was pretty unhappy with it and took the entire thing apart, thus the lack of any update and Winterial ever since. 

Good news for you, I have finally found this particular attempt of mine pretty satisfying and thought I'd share with an update on it. The heads has some sort of respirator, the boltgun with an obvious part of the lasgun and also of a different kind of ammunition feed. The sergeant is wielding a standard guard issue chain sword. All these stuff I would make a Winterial when my examinations finally end.

I too actually have a volley gun conversion but was pretty unsatisfied with it as it look weird, lasgun barrel with a multi-laser nozzle. Thus I took it apart and I am now thinking of a way to make it look awesome. I believe I should be able to do it just in time for the update and Winterial.

Hope you guys look forward to the next update for Militarum Tempestus Scions. I will see you guys in the next post!

Mortar team completed!

So here I am finally back home, completing some stuff, tying up some loose ends. The long awaited Imperial Guard/ Astra Militarum mortar team. Its just one as I only finished one, but I find this a great accomplishment as this was the first basing that I actually went through great lengths and thoughts to finish it. Comments and criticism are all welcomed as this help me to improve.

(FRONT)

(SIDE)

(REAR)

(TOP)

The top view actually makes the scene more obvious, like being in the middle of the fighting. As the crew race against time to fire their mortar into enemy lines, their position scattered with their equipment, hastily put aside to support their brothers fighting at the frontline.

This would actually be my main mortar team among the 3 which they have in a squad, hence the vox-caster, receiving coordinates and transmitting them to the other teams. 

So that's all for today's post. Do let me know your views on this! Follow my blog to receive more cool posts!

For far too long

Sorry guys, have been too caught up of late through the few months with all the examinations rolling in and also all the festival preparation all that.

Probably one of the thing I spent my time mostly on would actually be a game that downloaded under pressure from my friend. This game is called League of Legends. Guess many of you would have heard of it. I wasn't really addicted to the game, rather I was playing with my friends most of my time.

I have this friend that always said I wouldn't play well and always wanted me to do better. So I played many different champions. Right now after quite a lot of hard work on that game, I have beaten him in the game and he could no longer blame me for losing that game. Therefore here I am back to writing posts for you guys.

So I thought I wanted to update you on the upcoming stuff that I would be posting, though my finals are coming. I finished one mortar team and wanted you guys to check it out, give me some comments and criticism, right after I get home.

I am also re-working on my Imperial Fists as I couldn't get a nice yellow and have been striping the paint over and over again. But I think I finally got the color that I like, not too dark and not too bright. The paints on it might be edgy when I show you guys the picture but it is mostly due to stripping of the paint far too many times and also the drying up of my yellow.

I guess that's about all I have for now. Once again, I apologize for being missing for well over 3 months. But I am back, so have no worries!

Rhino, Assault Marines, Fire Hawks

So I have not been posting anything on a regular basis, so I guess I would just update you guys on what I am working on for the past few days, though it not really is much.

A week ago, I built myself a Rhino that I got from a friend, one which I bought. The thing is he didn't provide me with any instructions. Thus I based on the picture that I got from the Games Workshop site, I went on and built it. Took me quite a while to finish up the tank tracks but I got it. And there it is completed:

I left the top hatch opened so I can store up some of those bits that I got that I don't want to glue on, such as the side hatch and the pintle mounted storm bolter, It makes a good storage space if you ask me, being able to keep spare bits inside. 

I have been wondering what colour scheme should I paint? Imperial Fists or Fire Hawks? I got a few Fire Hawks marines done and once I finish the squad, I would post some pictures on it up. There wasn't much information by Games Workshop what paints is recommended for Fire Hawks, so this paint scheme was actually after a long period of trail and error. I did freehand for the shoulder pads too.

I have also been working on some assault marines. I hope to be able to complete them soon and probably make a painting Winterial out of it. These assault marines are going to be in blood angels colours, I was hoping to use them as an ally for my Astra Militarum, after I saw the effectiveness of their work in some battle reports. Blood Angels are definitely on the list.

So that's all for now. Hopefully I can finish up everything on hand real quickly so that I can finally get some solid post up on my blog as well as my youtube channel.

Youtube Account is finally up with my very first vid!

I guess I have not been posting for quite a long while although my holidays started half a month ago. Haven't really been doing much through the holidays besides playing some computer games all that. Just when I decided to have a game of 40k, I fell sick.

Hence I decided to take my time now to write a blog post.

I have actually set up a youtube account with my very first unboxing video on the Astra Militarum Officio Perfectus Commissar.

The link is here:

That's all for this post I guess. So see you all soon!!!!
