Supplies!

Got some new stuff to keep me working yesterday. I do have three exams to do, but SOME greenstuffing should I be able to do. So I got this:

And here is my workspace. You can see the beginnings of another five true scale marines and some thunderwolf counts as.

Yesterday I also managed to knock my already done marines over so that two of them went to peices on the floor. Lucky me tough, since the GS held and the stuff that have been glued have been glued with superglue, not plastic, so efter a little trimming to get rid of the dried glue I could just glue them together again. I hope to be able to basecoat them next week, but the weather is really damp right now so I hope it will clear up until then. Hope you guys enjoy the blog. I'll try to get some more articles in about stuff else then my WIP soon, tough the exams leave little time for that right now.

Back and Grey Knights

So, I'm back from Kenya all tanned and ready to go nuts with some plastic soldiers :P Had a great two weeks, but more importantly there was news of the Grey Knight codex when I got back. GW have now said it will be released in April, and I am actually quite exited. It it said in the "Incoming"-article that they wear Terminator Armour and I am very interested to see if that goes for the whole chapter. Whatever happens I am sure my planned Adeptus Custodes list is gonna get a new shiny codex to use, when I get around to building it after my Alpha Legion.

Talking about them, I'll try to get another batch of five ready in the next few days. I have already made the legs and I'll probably go buy some more supplies for them today so that I can make the torsos and all that.

Well, stay tuned, more is to come!

Last one before Kenya

So, this IS the last update before Kenya :P

I have some pics of the two new guys for my combat squad:

This guys have got his bolter strapped to his back. You cant see it in this pic, tough, but it is there. All WYSIWYG :P 

This guy is kind of a fail-glue :P The arms came out a bit wierd, and the bolter/pistol is just bluetacked on at this point. When I get home I'll see if T can solve it with some GS or something. 

And of the guys together. A squad of 10 will look really cool on the table. They are soooo big. Love it =D

So well, merry christmas again!

Legion symbol

Hey guys.

Well, nothing new from me right now, and probably wont be until mid january either, since I am going away for 2 weeks to Kenya, leaving on the 26th. Then I've got my exams when I get home, and THEN I can start working on my Alphas again. So expect a long break from this site now, but I promise I'll be back with progress as soon as I can. Maybe I can convince a friend to uphold the postcount on here during my vacation. I'll try that, at least!

Anyway - as a Merry Christmas I thought I might as well post a great guide for making the Legion symbol out of GS that I found, as well as some very nice true sclaed alpha legion. I hope Lamenter will not mind me borrowing this

So: MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone (I know, I know, a bit early) and hope you have a great time. And dont forget to keep looking over here if I manage to get a friend to post for me.

Green Stuff Mania

Today I moved into a smaller room at my parents house for the holidays, and when I was going to set up my paints and all that I realised that my GS, two whole bars of it, had been a bit mixed. I tried pulling it apart as best I could, but soon I saw the futility of my quest, and started mixing it instead. Below you can see the result of my work:

That is the start of five more marines for my Alpha Legion, as well as six wolves for my thunderwolves all done. My only problem right now is that I still have a lot of GS left, and I have no idea what to make of it. I guess it will just be allowed to cure, and then maybe I can use it as a large boulder or something :P The rest of the true scale stuff will be done with greystuff instad, since I have a lot of that still. 

Hope you guys have a fantastic holidy coming up, with lots of GW stuff in your presents ;) I still hope that my girlfriend got me the Mythicast Thunder Wolves. If so, then the fellas above are staying on 40mm bases as Fenrisan Wolves. 

Cheers,

More true scale coming along

I did some cutting today, and ended up with 5 pairs of terminator legs. Gonna try and get the last two for the first combat squad ready tomorrow, and at the same time start the next five guys. Might have to go and buy some paint tomorrow as well, so I can start painting should the mood hit me :P

I took a kinda booring pic of the hacked-up terminators, but it is so dark, I'll skip posting it this time. At least now you know what I am up to. Stay tuned for some better, larger, updates in the next days before christmas.

Cheers,

New pics - True Scale Project

Here are the latest pics of the three that are done right now. Hope you enjoy:

I hope you like the pics. I managed to get hold of my dads camera and build a rough lightbox. I'm gonna add some bags, ammo, grenades and stuff like that before I prime them black, but this is probably the last you'll see of them before I do that. Gonna try and get the last two ready this week, so that when I go to Kenya, all of them are ready for paint. 

Cheers,
