A little more… February 6, 2011 at 11:28 am

A little more arm work on the Sternguard this morning.

Finishing off a hand… still needs a thumb:

Getting A-Head February 5, 2011 at 8:57 am

Put the finishing touches on the Sternguards’ head this morning:

I’m sending these off to have enough for the squad cast up in resin, to save a bit of work on trying to get a squad of them all looking the same. Updates as I get them :)

Looking Stern… January 11, 2011 at 6:55 am

It’s been far too long between updates on these guys…

The end is nigh.

Heavies, forward! August 30, 2010 at 3:03 pm

I’ve been intending to update the Marines for a week now, but wound up working longer hours than usual at both of my other jobs, so only just got caught up…

I performed an arm swap on the first Heavy Bolter marine, to bring the weapon up into more of a ‘bringing to bear’ pose, and swapped his arms onto the second heavy marine, who is in more of an advancing pose…

Also finished basic assembly on the remaining two marines:

Marching on with the Sternguard August 4, 2010 at 3:11 pm

I did a little more work on the Sternguard’s Heavy Bolter, folding up the bipod and adding a carry handle. Still a little more detail work to go.

Crouching Veteran, Voxxing … er… other Veteran? July 24, 2010 at 8:17 am

I’ve completed basic assembly on the Commtech for the Sternguard squad. The pose is a little rough, as his hand is only tacked on at the moment… I’ll adjust it when I’m ready to glue everything in place and sculpt on the missing detail.

Comm-ing soon, to a vox near you… July 7, 2010 at 3:22 pm

One member of the Sternguard squad will be a comm specialist, equipped with a vox-pack and auspex (just for show).

The Vox-pack is made from a Cadian backpack, with the bottom and sides trimmed down and the bottom and vents from a Marine backpack added on.

The auspex is a regular auspex top and base added to a Terminator Thunder Hammer hand.

More soon…

Why are Dwarf Pirates so cool? at 1:22 pm

Because they Aaaargh!

Finally finished this guy off. He was started several years ago, as a birthday present for my (now) wife, and given to her unpainted so she could decide whether she wanted to paint him herself or not. She went with the ‘or not’ option, and so after a bit of a wait, here he is:

Building a bigger bolter… July 6, 2010 at 2:45 pm

A little more Sternguard tinkering. The buyer wanted a Heavy Bolter that looks a little more like a conventional heavy machine gun.

I have made up this prototype, as a sort of ‘proof of concept’.

The inset is after a little photoshopping to try to show how it will look finished off, as it has a few minor details still to go on.
