Sons of Walrus, heaps better photos on a white background! Oh, and offering commissioning now.

Holla,

I've been asked a few times about doing some commission work for people and I thought, shit, why the hell not! So I've started up this site: http://jack0284.wixsite.com/website I've been fixing work for people for a bit now from some other commission painters and I know I can offer a better service than that. I'm working part time until the end of the year too now so I will have a bit of time up my sleeve to smash work out for clients. I'm going to update the blog section of that in tandem with this, using that page as more of a gallery of what I can do with miniatures and terrain.

Also, ventured out into the big brave world of white backgrounds for that GW spec floating model look and I think it actually shows off my work on the dark green bodies of the SoH a lot better than the black backdrops did!

HFB Tyranids heading to eBay. Link to the auction and some final pics.

My variant Hive Fleet Behemoth army is heading to eBay!

Trying to make way for some more 30k, not playing 40k at all anymore as most of the dudes I game with have transitioned back to Heresy era dude-on-dude marinefests. Got it up for 70% of the Aussie RRP at the moment, hopefully it breaks even at least.

The disposability of this hobby and all of the millions of dollars of grey plastic that gets bought for full price and sold for dirt bums me out massively, all the codex creep and presale hype kills the value  insanely if you're not selling the latest and greatest power combo for some tournament retard to slam his meta with.


Wish me luck!

2400pts Sons of Horus - Progress Pic


I'll need to do some individual shots of the Quad-guns at some point and the Rhino I just did but I figured a group photo after a battle against Imperial Fists last night would suffice.

I've done a conversion I am reasonably happy with for Maloghurst, and have him, a Praetor modelled from Abaddon, 2 Justaerin and 2 Javelins to paint for a 30k tournament on the 13th of November.

Cheers
Jack

Aquilla Strong Point and Vengeance Batteries

Hey dudes, been a bit slammed last week but I managed to get a few pieces done for my table after closing out 2.1k of the Sons. The big silo needs a more work around the base to match the tones of the Mars mat a bit more but I think the Vengeance batteries are pretty well spot on for a match. I've never bothered to do terrain this well before with plaster, sand and rocks on the bases to integrate the model pieces better with the base and make a more irregular surface but I think it's a no-going-back type of thing now.

I also built some Javelin speeders last night and need to paint them, a Maloghurst conversion and a few more Justaerin before a 2500pt 30k event in November. The Javelins were a nightmare to build honestly, I really didn't enjoy the process at all which is a bit of a shame as they are such gorgeous kits when done but I think the FW molds are getting a little worn as some of the detail was filled in, a lot of big mold lines and even some slippage which I haven't really experienced before. 

Around the models required for the 2500pt list I want to take to the tournament in November I aim to finish the other buildings shown for the table, make some hills and create bases for the GW cargo containers.
