Bones

Cult Biologis Fleshseer Bones painted and ready to join the away team.

"It's worse than that - he's dead, Jim!"

I'll be back in 2014 with a round-up of Officio Convertorums first year! 

Listen up you primitive screwheads!

Ash is done. Nuff said. 

Underhive scum

Last night in a flurry of inspiration (which might have something to do with the Ravenor Omnibus I'm reading) I put together a whole bunch of minis and finished up the chainsaw warrior. I was going for a classic mid 90s Necromunda look for these (well, exept the cultist).

"Ash"

Bountyhunter

Mutie (mould lines to be removed)

Death Cultist of Mhorrigot

Chainsaw warrior

I've been feeling a bit stuck in a rut lately, and haven't had much inspiration for painting (theres some pretty funky primed builds standing around on my desk but they deserve the proper enthusiasm ) .

That said there's been a lot of playing around with bits, but not much has come of it. I might actually have reached the point where I have too many bitz... Constraints can be liberating you know.

Last night however, I put together this guy as an homage to the classic game "Chainsaw Warrior" (and, of course, Evil Dead):

Lieutenant Nyota

Very work-in-progress, but the two gun matrix jump pose works pretty well methinks.

The choice of head was inspired by Migsulas latest female inquisitor - with the top knot removed she actually has the same bob hairdo as Uhura in the series...

Crewman no.6 ready to beam down!

Expendable

Introducing Crewman no.6 and Crewman no.4. 

Crewman no.5 was unfortunately vapourised by a mysterious godlike entity on Altair 4. 

To boldly go

Well, with Bones finished it was time to get to grips with the main man himself in this little project I'd like to call "Rogue Trek 40.000". Let me introduce Rogue Trader Captain Tiberius Kirke:

"Khaaaaaaaaan!!!"

Tiberius is a rather dashing Rogue Trader on a fifty year mission to explore strange new worlds ( putting them under the Imperiums rule ) and to seek out new life and new civilisations ( sometimes not destroing them! ). Aboard his mighty cruiser "Inceptum" he, and his trusty crew, boldly goes where no man has gone before.

Though in many ways an exemplary servant of the Imperium, Tiberius is under investigation from the Ordo Xenos for a string of rather sordid affairs with xenos females.

On away missions he often brings along a few anonymous crewmen. 

They have a tendency not to come back in one piece.

Here's a mock up of crewman no.6:

"Inceptus - you're breaking up. What's that you say? A giant monster behind me?"

In other news - I've also managed to get my hands on a pot of Agrellan Earth - Citadels new crackly paint. It works rather well I must say and adds a lot of detail to a base. With a drybrush and a wash or two you can get some really interesting results. Here's a testbase: 

"Dammit Jim!

I'm a fleshseer - not a sorcerer!"

Cult Biologis Fleshseer Bones is more or less ready for paint:

Next up - Rouge Trader Captain J.Tiberius Kirk.
