Dark Young WIP

Here is a rather good rendition of a Dark Young of Shub-niggurath bye the makers of the game Carnevale.
This is a WIP as you can see I have used 2mm and 3mm magnets for the tentacles so I can easily away pack in my foam case and on the plus side I can reset the pose if I wish.

lurkers

Been awhile since I last posted, so here is some Lurker that I painted up for Strange Aeon.
The Mad Professor

Necromancer, I was thinking a Tudor time line Strange Aeon hence me painting this up.

These three are part of my Undead Lurkers the wee Mad doctor and two Blasphemous Constructs.

Stonehenge

This is what I been doing lately Stonehenge, I was given a sheet of dense blue foam 2`x 8`x 2``thick and it took awhile to think what was worthy of it but I came up with Stonehenge, the scale is 1/56, I got some measurements from the internet this was for the outer and large inner standing stones, the rest was guess work based on pictures from the net.
It had to be made to pack away so the flat stones are glued on and the standing stone have 4mm x 2mm earth magnets in them and the base, the magnets are set north and south so the stone only face one way the base was of MDF 12mm 3'x 26",I have left the very small broken stone out, these I may put in at a later date.
There was some liberty taken with gaps between the stone so I could place miniatures between them,if you have any question feel free to ask.

WIP Heresy Necromancer

This miniature is made bye Heresy and is called the Necromancer, you have a chose of the left hand holding ether a skull or the familiar bird, I went the skull, this was due to the way he was holding the bird, but it seemed a waste of a familiar, so I put him on his shoulder, all this was possible due to me soldering the parts with on no pinning, the right hand I thought about putting a dagger or sword in it, but I found a wand in my bits box and went with that.
Am in two minds weather to paint him flesh colour or the same grey as my Ghoul Cult.
the half-ling standing next to him is also made bye same firm I bought him just to paint up.

Things I really need to finish

The Tyranid Barbed Hierodule is from Forge World and was bought of EBay two years ago for around £48 and had damage done to it, after striping the paint off I found out that the oven cleaner I used to remove the paint had softened the glue so I got lucky and pulled it apart, I have give it a coat of black primer after doing the repairs with the green stuff.
Am in two minds weather to use earth magnets for the arms for easy removal to help pack it away when not in use or glue the arms on and pin.
There not a lot I can say about the casting from Forge World apart from I never found any filled in air bubble holes under the paint.

Both the Armorcast BattleTech was bought around 1995 and for the last 8 years been sitting in the garden shed, when I bought them they cost Mad Cat £70 and Vulture £65and are no longer in production.
Casting over all seemed ok with just the odd air bubble hole that can easily be filled in with green stuff, fitting the parts together was ok, and any tight parts could be trimmed with a hobby knife.
The one I started to paint up a few years ago is the Mad Cat OmniMech‘s ( Clan designation Timber Wolf).
The other is a Clan Mad Dog OmniMech (Inner Sphere designation Vulture) when I first did the legs on the Vulture one had a slight twist to it, as I used mainly instant clue way back then I was able to use instant clue remover to help remove the leg, so I ended up redoing both legs and resetting them with one slightly forward, it does till you in the instruction if you remove the stop pegs you can reset the legs from the standing to the walking pose, you can see this on the Mad Cat.

I have played Mech Warrior and Mech Commander on the pc and seen some nice cut scenes of battle techs, but these games wont load into my pc.
I no idea what colour am going to paint them, they ether going to be camouflaged or one colour, and the other thing is buying 28mm decals that would fit on them, I know you can buy clan decals but no idea if they will fit, plus I may not like the clans, my idea is to make them mercenary battle techs no clan badge needed or use what I like.

Other thing about painting them is what are they made from steel, aluminium, titanium, steel gives you the option of rust in the red to brown hues, aluminium just turns grey, and titanium does not corroded atoll, even if it was a compound of alloys you would still not have much corrosion.
Ill be starting with Vulture first if I make a miss I can easily restart, the Mad Cat has some what more detail and not so easy to redo.

Shoggoth (slave)

Tengu Models have brought this out a baby Shoggoth, the real Shoggoth would be rather bit large to put in a game and manufacture as is the case with most Cthulhu type monsters and creatures.
This is a really nice casting with no pin holes in it, the sculpture has put a lot of work into it and it has paid off, it also come with 4 tentacles that need pinning into place.
I have put the two miniatures next to it to show the size these are in the process of being painted up, the one on the left is a Hassel Free mutated human and the right one is from Tengu zombie range.

Cult De Ghouls

My Cult De Ghouls.
After reading up about ghoul skin colour I went with the gray, so I repainted the three flesh skin ghouls I had gray and bought three more, the axe, sword, meat cleaver, pitch fork was all made out of brass, crossbow and quiver I bought.
I have a new king the Wight with the cloak, if the rules allow a Shaman, Hag or Witch spell caster ghoul then ill use the heresy king ghoul, or even if they receive a ghoul cult leader ill use him.
All ghouls are Heresy and the Wight is from OTHERWORLD.
