Aww Hell...Brute.

All the hype surrounding the hellbrute model release and the dataslate rules got me really burning to make a hellbrute. For me when the desire to make something comes I just need to go with it, and the result is one of the quickest paint jobs I've ever done. An 8 day hellbrute.

So sure I've got no money... But what I did have was a Dark Vengeance hellbrute just begging for a lick of paint. I am very happy with the water effects slime on the tentacles, 10/10 would use again.

While I didn't manage to get too many work in progress shots on this model as I made it mostly in secret (my housemate and I are having a bit of a competition...) I did snap a couple, and once it was 'revealed' I was free to go wild with my terrible camera phone. (that turned out ok this time). Read on!...

Predator - Converted

Wow, talk about get sucked into a project - I was meaning to post every week until this predator. Every single change I made created another problem that needed modification.

This is my first big build, and my first attempt to make anything substantial that needs to stand up to tabletop viewing and it was both frustrating and time consuming. However using the forgeworld renegade etched brass was the highlight for me, a small sprue packed with amazing pieces.
Ultimately I have managed to turn a tank i dislike (the predator just feels like a fat box with a tiny gun on it), into a tank I like, but don't love.

Predator + Massacre + NMM attempt!

So its been a very busy week with not a huge lot of progress! However two days ago a package arrived at the door from forge world.

Inside was my copy of Horus Heresy Massacre, which I have to say is a fantastic book. I am definitely going to be collecting a Mechanicum army (well, dark mechanicum).

In my order I also had some Chaos Rhino extra armor, which I had been eagerly anticipating. I am a big fan of classic tanks such as the Panzer IV, and the idea of side skirting on my predator was very appealing.

While nowhere on forgeworld does it state these kits can work with a predator, I just went with it assuming if it didn't work I would make it work.

It turns out they do - So for anyone out there looking at these side skirt kits, dont worry about it they do fit on predators as well as rhinos without affecting the sponsons too much (if at all, slightly obscures shooting but not enough to worry someone who likes the look of them)

Faeit 212 welcome! - Now with more Decimators!

First and foremost a huge thank you to Natfka over at Faeit 212 for adding me to the blog exchange. It is a huge thing to tiny bloggers like me to be thrust into the spotlight for a second, and I am very grateful.
Secondly - Thankyou for taking the time visiting my blog and I hope you like what you see and continue to watch as it evolves.

I knew I had to post something a little less commonly seen in celebration of being added to the blog roll, so this weeks offering is my Chaos Decimator Siege Engine.

So this weeks post is a bit of a gallery, I'd love to hear what you think...
