+ REDUX: WIP +

Snapped some quick-n-dirty webcam shots of what I've been working on yesterday and today ...


Rhino #2 - Years ago was built as a generic spiky chaos rhino, then had its top chopped to drive my GorkaMorka gang around in, then went back into storage to be resurrected yesterday. Robo-combi-bolter + smoke launchers + AL front plate I had lying around and voila! Sweet salvaged ride, indeed!


Oblit #2 - Bought this dude with his bro years back, but lingered until today. Originally he was slated to ride a "Throne of Obliteration" (counts as Silver Tower) for APOC games, but I'm happy to have him stomp the yard in more sane games. Loads of GS work goes down tonight, to integrate that triple-melta arm.




Dread #4 - Top pic shows what this Empy Kids dread looked like when I traded him off my brother for a leman russ executioner I had from an old army. Two soaks in the simple green hot tub and he was mostly clean, though some scrapping time and general clean up still had to happen before reassembling to the state in the middle pic. Note that the plasma cannon is stuck on there good, so I won't be able to paint it separately as I usually would. Bottom pic shows the rod spacer I'm trying to get to the right length to give the dread his waist back - he previously had a magnet in place of his waist joint, but I tore that off in favor of something more secure.

Looking forward to getting some GS onto that oblit arm, lots of gribble ahead of me tonight!

Cheers for that Crusher, it's good to be back! Will definitely have to wander over to your blog, along with the rest of the FTW crew, and see what's been going down in the grimdark blog frontier ...

Oblit is puttied up and I've just got to add damage to the CSM and that's the 1850 redux all built! Pics tonight!
