True Scale World Eaters Dark Apostle progress

I added some more detail to the True Scale World Eaters Dark Apostle. Most importantly, I started work on the Accursed Crozius. This is a combination of the 30k Rampagers Meteor Hammer, the Minotaurs Chaplain Crozius and a Skullcrusher hand & haft attached to a Red Butcher arm. I have the backpack mostly worked out, but there are a ton of little things to do to it before I can attach it at this point, even for a WIP shot. Anyway, enjoy...

Here are a couple of shots of just the Accursed Crozius.

World Eaters Dark Apostle WIP

Here is the tacked together WIP of my World Eaters Dark Apostle. The head is still not final. May go with a helmet, may stick with this head, may use another helmetless head. For the belt buckle I am deciding between a Chaos star with Khorne symbol or another skull like thing. Also, there is giant Khorne icon with skull-speaker that will go on the backpack. There will be sacrificial knife in the left hand, in a reverse grip. The right hand will have the Accursed Crozius.

As anyone that may follow my blog can see, I have repurposed the 'skullderpads' from an older WIP that I never finished. The model is based on the FW Traitor Legion Librarian model mixed with bits from the Bloodsecrator (seriously, who names these AoS guys?)and various other kits. Still waiting for all the Crozius bits to arrive.

Here is a further WIP of the True Scale Skull Champion as well as the beginnings of a True Scale Khorne Berzerker

True Scale Skull Champ

Okay, I can't not try some True Scale World Eaters. So here is my first attempt at a Skull Champion. This is super WIP right now. As a matter of fact, I am not even giving him the double handed weapon, but will use the right arm from the Dark Angel halberd to give him a bit more of a dynamic axe swing pose. I have a couple more True Scale World Eaters in the queue right now as well, just waiting for the bits to arrive to get started. Oddly enough, I have been having the damnedest time getting some key bits.

New arrival

Any guesses what I will doing with this Forgeworld Abaddon model?

Pick A Damn Army, your guess doesn't count, since you know...

Take two of these and call me in the morning...

I have only been making incremental progress on multiple minis. This last month or so has been pretty busy.

Anyway, here is a WIP of a Nurgle aligned Dr./Chirurgeon. He, and his little servo-assistant will accompany a rogue -]|[- that I am also working on and will reveal soon.

I am planning on adjusting the brass-rod that the servo-assistant is attached to, in order to make it sway a little bit back. It is not glued at this point however, and the weight of the servo-head will not let it stand up. So, as soon as I am less tired and have a little less beer in me, I will make the adjustment.

All about that mace.

Good morning! So, I did a bits trade with Krautscientist over at Eternal Hunt. Originally, I was going to use a demon-hammer head on this conversion as I thought it would be super cool and fluffy. But then Krautscientist waved this Dragon Ogre mace in my face and showed me it's scale and I couldn't help but bite. As I am sure he will tell you, I am pretty stubborn once I have my mind set about how I am going to convert a mini, but dammit, if he wasn't right about this bit being perfect! Thanks man!

At the moment, the mace bits are just pinned in. This isn't the final angle, also I will have to do some Green-stuffing, bleh. In addition, I added a MkIII vambrace to the gauntlet to see how that would work. I feel like it ties in perfectly. Now all that is left is figuring out servo arms configurations...

Drone WIP's

The Mini-Blight Drone has it's wings, er, thrusters...

Still a lot of work left though

The blog awakens...

It has been awhile since my last update.

I was having a crisis of faith trying to figure out what the point was in continuing with the hobby. The cost has gone up dramatically, I am no longer near my old game/hobby group, the idea of getting any games in seemed futile and last but not least life just seemed to be getting in the way. During the last year I had still been visiting hobby sites and reading news. But I just couldn't seem to shake the apathy. After reading several different hobby blogs that were dedicated to just modeling interesting figures without the stress of in game usability (specifically Iron Sleet ) and seeing all these beautiful new GW kits, I started to feel the pulse come back.

I have picked up some bits and my trusty, if somewhat dull, x-acto and started cutting on several projects at once. As a teaser, here is a WIP of my Nurgle aligned Dark Mecanicum Dominus, with a couple of his Festering Embryites;
