SiBarge and his hobby horse

  The melta gunner for the Chirton Maggot Sludge Raiders is now recruited. The melta is an awesome weapon in Kill team, the mortal wounds are unstoppable and just great at melting elites. With the Gaze of the gods on this dude you can smash in 4MWs without effort. He's a must take operative. Here is my gunner, started off with a Knucklebones flamer and chopped most of that stuff off. I added a cloak thing at the back to hide the mess removing the tank makes and I tacked a 3D printed melta on the front of him. I then added a couple of arms and scunged up the melta, adding spikes, nuts and spikes and rust. I used GW Typhus and DD rust effect. This is the WiP photo...

  Here's the plasma gunner, converted from the flamer print. I chopped the tank off of the back and added a back pack to cover up the mess. I sculpted a flamer style front end on the gun and used a different head. I was trying for a more Blanchitsu style, hence the reds and whites used. I'm not sure if I achived it, but it's done. 16 more to go...

I've liked the look of the Blooded for a long time, traitor guard with all the corruption and heresy that they bring. But I wanted something dirtier, more grim, more dark than the offerings from the Evil Empire. While browsing for Warmaster houses on MMF I found Knucklebones minis. Wow, these creations have the sludge factor; dank, dirty, analogue, organic. I knew I had to have some. I joined the tribe and started to plan my team. A full kill team roster needs 20 figures, so that's what I plan to make. Knucklebones has some decent figures to base some simple conversions on. I'm going to use the modular melee troopers as the main base prints, with mirrors to give me a selection of eight base bodies and loads of arms. The Enfields will be my Lasguns (Lesguns) and there are nasty melee weapons a plenty. I've used the flamer as my base for heavy weapons, painting one straight up as a flamer. I'm also, building a plasma and melta and I've not yet decided on the grena...

 I've been playing Farstalkers in my local league and it made me realise that I could do with both heavy gunners. For Gallowdark the flamer dude is hot, but on Open the extra range of the other gun is something I was interested in. Here he is, the arms from the ITD box and a carnivore body.

Phobos marines! I made these six up from some second hand figures. I wanted to do them in the yellow of the fists as I thought it looked cool. Once I started I got very disenchanted trying to get Yellow to work. So one afternoon I went mad with the sponge weathering and ink washes and just kept going till they were done. I slapped and slapped and chipped and slashed and then they were done. These are the basic Phobos team dudes, I have Reivers, and Incursors to add to them but they are in different colours. These guys are my infiltrators, I'll not be adding any more generic infiltrators.  

  Kommandos I have had these since I bought the Octarius box set ages ago. I was distracted by so many other things that they were just left to kick about. I painted the skin base colour on all the figures and finished off the burna boy. Then I left them.  I picked them back up in early August and decided to Get it Dun! and finish them off. I had no idea what green I had used for the base coat, so I tried various colours to highlight and shade. I ended up with a variety of skin tones, all quite dark.  I really like the craziness of these figures, there's stuff all over them and there was extra stuff to stick on them as well, I didn't.  They have had one game so far and they won it easily, I'm hoping they keep that record. They are a decent team to play, durable, some good shooting, some sneaky tricks and a bit of the Waaargh! to do some krumpin'. Waaargh!!
