I actually have been busy with a lot lately, so forgive me for not getting pictures up sooner. First, just a teaser photo of my friend, Aaron’s, “self-building” project, based on the Cato Sicarius model.
My own project and my brother’s are both coming along well, too. Here’s a peak of a planning drawing:
Next, a few weeks ago I built the Space Marines from the Assault on Black Reach set, and Aaron built the Orks from it; I just forgot to post some pictures. There’s still plenty to be done – most notably basing and painting – but here are some shots.
Finally, last night saw a host of building, mostly from trades and eBay purchases.
On the Marines side of things, I acquired a large number of Scouts, including two Sergeant Naaman models. I never really liked the original pose of Naaman, so on the first I cut the sword and repositioned it so the teeth were down (instead of behind); on the second I gave him a plasma pistol and put the sword in his other hand. I’m pretty pleased with the outcome.
I also acquired some more Guardsmen, most spectacularly some crew for my Heavy Mortar unit. Also in the picture are two models I “converted” a bit ago – two more tank riders made into ground pounding Guardsmen.
Still left on the chopping block: myself, my brother’s self-build, another friend’s self-build; 3 Deffkoptas, 1 leader Nob, 1 looted Rhino, and maybe a surprise or two around the corner…
Oh, and happy Thanksgiving! It’s 22.45 over here and I’m full of sweet potato goodness now! (We don’t get the days off!)
Thanks Admiral, to you as well! I’m glad you got some Yams – one of my preferred parts of Thanksgiving. We’re still looking forward to your entry!
