November 2021 WIP

 A rare sighting in my hobby life this morning...the bottom of a pot of GW paint.  Probably only the second or third pot I've ever actually finished in almost thirty years of hobbying.  Only painted consistently the last ten months so the math probably checks out.  A good deal of paint dried in the lid and top of the pot but a majority of the Lead Belcher made it onto gun barrels, servo arms, etc.



Working on some conversions and porting over a D&D miniature as an underhive beast. Left to right:

  • Trying to turn a Reaper ork into Rattus Tatterskin. Basic pose is there. Need to find a good heavy stubber and add lots of rats, candles, face mask, etc.

  • Making a Reaper necromancer into a twin chain axe murderpriest for a Cawdor/Redemptionist gang. Darn Sump City Radio always given me ideas.

  • D&D Brain Collector seems like a good Underhive or sump beast. More thought and paint needed as always.

  • A mix of Reaper Bones and Hasslefree barbarians for use as a Ratskins gang. Can't decide if I should try using chaos helot gang rules or come up with something else to base the conversions on.

October 2021 Modeling



Managed to finish 25 models in October:
  • 8 scrunts/skrunts to bring my total to 23.
  • 5 hive scum
  • 12 Last Chancers



Up to 23 scrunts now.  Time to buy more skitarii heads for
another set of conversions when the mood strikes.

Five hive scum that were originally intended as members of an IG killteam for the 2018 release.  Hive militia, factorum worker and a gunslinger with the rare correct number of empty holsters.



Last Chancers with conversions for everyone but whichever member was armed with an lasgun and pistol(Grease Monkey, I think)  Used a autogun/pistol armed metal Escher model instead.  Need to find my White Dwarf Annual with their rules.

September 2021 Modeling and WIP

September Completed Model List:

I completed 15 models and some counters to represent hidden traps including 2 sprung blade cages for an Escher gang.

  • 5 random models
  • 10 battle psykers
  • 6 hidden trap counters and 2 blade cages


The month was busy and the it was hard to find much enthusiasm to paint models. The Yaktribe Finish Your Stuff Challenge for 2021 wrapped up in September and now I'll have to try and keep the momentum up without an external motivator. Hopefully the habit has set in and I'll keep doing.

I've been converting some models the past few months but nothing really coherent or finished yet.
Counts as Arachni-rig for my Mechanicus themed Van Saar gang.

Beastmen gang counting as Goliath.

Slave ogryn with a grenade lobbing skrunt nestled in the explosives supply.  He'll have to be written up as a bounty hunter or special character since I tried to model (or imply) every explosive available to slave ogryns on the model.
