Hobby Round up Week 10

Welcome to another visual feast of hobby updates!

 

First up we have some Wolf Guard from Frazer. Many years ago, we created a squad of Space Wolves converted to look like members of the club. Back then we were all in power armour, but now after taking part in many battles, the most decorated of us are being immortalised in Tactical Dreadnought Armour.

 

First up are Si, Neil and Dave.

 

 

Next from Frazer's work in progress pile is some Dropzone Commander vehicles that he is painting for Dave. As you can see they are resplendent in an urban camo scheme

 

 

Simon is next and contrary to the photos he is not a hobby vampire, just appears to prefer taking photos in the dark!

 

First we have some more Space Wolves, this time for his personal force.

 

 

Simon is our resident Bob the Builder, helping out those of the club who are unable to or prefer not to build their own figures.

 

This week he has been helping out Next Door Matt by constructing his Forge Fiend. He has gone the who hog by magnetising the head and weapons.

 

Neil, with a bit more time on his hands at the moment, has been working on some Avatars of War Corrupters, which are lovely models but a beast to glue together.

 

He has done a test scheme on one of them, using a white undercoat and a selection of different inks. For the observant of you, no that isn't the original head, but in fact a Heresy miniatures Blight head.

 

Oh and he also drew a face on a sqush... say hello to Sidney...

 

 

Finally this week, Chris has finished his first 10 Martians from Mantic Game's Mars Attacks game. He will go back to some of the bases in the future and add some trash, with ideas of how to do discarded fizzy pop cans top of his agenda.

Hobby Round up week 9

Happy St David's Day!

So to kick off this week, we have our resident Welshman Neil.

Last week he teased us with a base for a non specific model, well this week we can reveal it is for an Ork Warboss on Bike. The model is from Forgeworld with the head changed to a Maxmini Tech Freak one.

 

 

Chris has started work on Dave's Dropzone Commander figures, with the first coats of green making their way on to the tanks.

 

 He has also done the base colours on ten Martians from Mantic's Mars Attacks game

Hobby Updates

A bit later on a Sunday than usual, its hobby update time.

As this was the last week of the £5 challenge, see Tuesdays post, its another quiet week, but hopefully there will be more to report on next week.

First up some modern British from Frazer, who is painting these for Matt. After making their table debut a few weeks ago, its time for them to get their camo on so they don't attract more Taliban bullets too soon.

As I finished my £5 challenge figure last week, I have had time to crack on with something new.

Firstly, I've built the Flying Saucer, Giant Stompy Robot and Flat Bed Truck for Mantic's Mars Attacks game. I doubt these will get any paint on them any time soon, but at least they can now be used.

And finally, I've made a start on my Dark Eldar Voidraven Bomber, with my Razorwing Jetfighter nearby for reference.

Hobby Updates

Another week, some more hobby progress from the Lone Wolves. With all of us working on our £5 challenge models, its another quiet week but lets see what's been going on...

First up is Frazer, who has continued his work on Dave's In Her Majesties Name figures. If you look closely you can see his £5 challenge model in the background.

 

 

Simon has been busy on his Space Wolf Long Fangs, whilst building some WW2 British for Frazer, and some carts to use in our Dead Mans Hand campaign.

 

 

 

 

Chris has been busy finishing his £5 challenge model, to be revealed on Tuesday, but with a large package turning up in the post on Friday he now has a few more models to play with.

 

Most of the club have invested in various Kickstarter projects, the Mars Attacks project will keep Chris busy for a while. Pictured are all the models received; the giant robot isn't built yet, but you can get an idea of the size, and what you cant see is the flat bed truck and the mountain of ruined city scenery.
