XXIII: Chainmail Veil

Today I did my first tests with Green Stuff. I think it came-out pretty well. I have another one of those hooded heads with the exposed face... I think I'll give it the same treatment. I mixed more material than I needed, so I rolled the left-overs into little balls; I might try to sculpt them into censer balls later (I may even try to make chain if I'm feeling up to it).

XXII: Plasma for Two

Here are a couple of Plasma toting Plague Marines I made yesterday from berserker & DA bits... with a bone hand & a leg thrown-in from the skeleton warriors box. No champions in my plasma squads, so I think I have almost everything ('cept for a rhino-tank) I need to put everybody together already.

Still been too chicken to try out my GS, but there's still plenty of time for that.



And here's a better picture of a couple of their squad mates.

XXI: My first Break

The chainsword hand broke off my chappy yesterday. I would have been pissed off, but I knew it wasn't pinned, and that breakage was a risk (just didn't realise how fragile it would be). The chainsword hand he used to have was a little messy from some sloppy gluing.... so I think I'm going to pin-on one of the berserker chainswords instead. Lesson learned!

I've also included a pic of this other Plague Marine I'm working on... just 'cause I'm having alot of fun putting him together.

XX: Bone Leg

Here's a crappy picture of a WIP plague marine made mostly of bits from the berserker box I got today. One of the arms is from a chappy & the bone leg is, of course, from that box of skeleton warriors I picked-up not too long ago.

I pinned the bone-hip and the chappy shoulder; my first attempt at pinning. I also weighted the base.

XIX: Bezerker Green

At last, I have Green Stuff!!
I wonder if I can make any use of it without proper tools... tonight I will do some sculpting experiments with toothpicks.

XVIII: My First Boners

I just bought these. I'm guessing the bigger box has more selection for arms & stuff, but this ought to do for the few conversions I have in mind right now.

XVII: The first eight

Here's a crappy picture of the first eight plague marines, all bassed-up. Three are still waiting on backpacks, but most of 'em are ready to go to paint.
