Chaos Hounds Converson W.I.P. 2

So continuing the work on these 10 little beast and having a blast. A lot of my work was put towards catching up all the hounds to have at least have the wire base of the tails installed which has developed into less of a chore as I refine the steps to this part of the process. Getting some good practice to with new clay shapers tools, they continue to be a dream.

Onto the show of photos.

Eres the chaos puppy pile

So I can't tell enough the simply thing of these hounds having matching numbers to each half of the body, how much it help keep things straight as I fly through working on them in the crazy hours of the night and morning.

So here are the guardening wire used to be the base of the tails. I made different lengths to kinda keep with the chaos.

The end result of using a dremel and knife is too made a hole for the wire to come through and a groove between the halfs, the Grove is for giving the green stuff more surface to grab as well and make a more natural orientation of the tail lining up with the spine.

These four photos above show the progress of place the wire base of the tail. The green stuff inside is key to anchor the wire so the wire can be shaped and posed without fear of Polling out.

Using the claps to hold the half's together so the super glue to dry proper as well and press the green stuff for a better hold as it cures.

The three photos above show the experiment with greenstuff and plastic card to make the heads of these hounds more rat like. The eyes and ears need more work, I'm really not happy with either but it's a start and this beast is singled out for trail and error.

Feed back is most welcome.

Unboxing: Necromunda House Escher Gang

This is exciting finally get a look at the miniatures from warhammmer necromunda game. There is so.much rich history and fun connect to the old game and background and now to see it be revived it just amazing. Personal note: with life responsibilities not all day able to take time for the hobby of miniatures let alone my art, working to be more frequent with post and updates I have found it really helps me relax. So the Escher Gang box. I'm kinda impressed with box art, Will post the original art peicevwhen I can find it. Now onto looking at the contents. So we have have two stories of miniatures that are exactly the same, instructions and a set of 10 special round bases for the miniatures. Each of these bases are highly detailed and shaped to mimic the necromunda (and zone mortalis forgeworld boards) I think of have some fun ideas for converting even the bases Will have to experiment at a later time. Front and back few if the miniature spruce both

Death Guard and pox walker getting started boxs

So made another purchase at favorite hobby store and started another project. I purchased the starting box kits for death Guard and pox walkers. After a fun conversation with another miniature hobbyist I took these two boxes home to begin the work of cutting cleaning and reshaping quite a few of the compoments in both kits. Looking at the pox walker sprue I'm really impressed with all the details and I'll ask of assemble if the miniatures. I decided to cut and collect all the nurgle fly icons That I can from box kits but starting with poxwalers first. The goal of cutting them will be made a small sprue and mold to replicate as many as needed for converting future miniatures dedicated to nurgle both in fantasy and 40k warhammer. Now there a pox walker in this box I really like for the gas mask and rotted fire axe he weilds. I very much what to have more so I cut it out and began cleaning off the hands and slime to make it more universal to use wither miniatures. This will de

Death Guard power pack conversion WIP

Continue the work cutting up the models to find I want use to create something can be fun. It does create the issue sometimes being so involved one forgets to take photos. The idea behind all this work is trying a make these power pack not only more appealing to me but make more functional in the fictional sense of making sure these packs have the jet exhausted as intend in all power. It's something I just need to be there for my own sanity. Looking at my work table you can see the freed power packs from Death Guard starter box as well as the power packs from chaos booster box for lack other term. The first power pack being my favorite from the box with central skull on the back and the tentacles holding the plasma gun. The plasma gun was removed at set aside to be clean up for another conversion in progress. With removing the plasma gun it did prosent the problem of the lower combonets damage or removed in the process. I'll use the similar price from the older chaos marin
