A candle in the darkness

The candle toting mutant is all but finished. Theres only a little work left on the base (and maybe his feet needs a slightly different colour - his browness is perhaps a tad too uniform...)

Anyway here a first peek - I'll take some better pics tomorrow when he's completely finished and the sun is up.

Update:
New pics from all angles. I like him - he doesn't have the moviestar looks, but he has a certain rugged charm.

Go ahead - make my day!

Finished with the officer (if thats what he is - he would work as a rouge trader with a military background as well).
Classic red/black/brown/bone paintscheme with cyan as a spot colour for contrast. Works every time.

Botched the checkers on this one though. Oh well...
Might do some heraldry on the right shoulderpad at a later stage but for now I'm calling this guy done!
















Officer in progress

Painting has commenced on the guard officer.
Added lots of details before I started slapping on the acrylics - augmented eye, sashes, parchments etc. All to make him look more a part of the 40k universe.

Feelin' lucky, Punk?

Got sidetracked and converted up this former guard officer.

I love this head from the greatswords kit - it's just so expressive. All hail Brian Nelson - Lord of Face Sculpting!

Edit: it was kindly pointed out to me by Thistle over at the Ammobunker that the head in question is a Mike Anderson sculpt.
So - all hail Mike Anderson - Lord of Face Sculpting!

Candle in the wind

Changed the right hand so he's holding a candle after a suggestion from Bruticus over at the Inq28 forum at The Ammobunker...
This is becoming a more complex conversion than originally intended - as is the way of these things.

The mutants are revolting

After The Red Lady I decided to do something a bit different. So, inspired by Krauts style of mutants, I cobbled together this freaky little bastard...



Assassinatrix Mlle. Pamina De Burgh "The Red Lady"

Here she is, weak ankles and all.
The pics didn´t come out exactly the way I wanted to but these will have to do for now - at least they´re  better than what I can manage with my iPhone...


=I= Assassinatrix Mlle. Pamina De Burgh "The Red Lady" =I=

PDH dubbed her "The Red Lady"and that nickname kinda stuck. Reminds me of Poe.
And, of course, Chris De Burgh.


Weak ankles

The assassinatrix is more or less complete, but work came to a sudden stop when disaster struck - I accidentally broke off her feet from the base. Her apparent weak ankles has been mended with superglue and luckily the trauma didn't leave any visible scars. She's currently resting up after the operation.

Hopefully it wont happen again ( and if it does I now know a quick remedy...)

Anyways - here's a sneak peek. I'll get proper pics tomorrow with daylight and a proper camera.

The lady in red

Painting has commenced on the assassinatrix. Initially I thought she was going to be black-blue but somehow she turned red as soon as I started...

Assassinatrix part 11

I did a major overhaul of this mini but now she's starting to come together...

Gave her high heels which changes the pose and feel and reworked the blade into something a lot more elegant - as contrast she received a brutal buzzsaw grafted to her left arm.

I looked a lot at Blache's Femmes Militant artwork and Mikko's fantastic Femmes Imperivm conversions for inspiration for this one: http://spikyratpack.blogspot.se/2013/03/death-walks-on-stilettos.html

Assassiness

Started work on a death cult assassin. Dark eldar legs, hellion torso, daemonette head with rebreather and flaggelant arms with force falchions in a underslung fashion.
There will also be cables. Lots of cables.

Inquisitor Mahler 2.0

The hammer arm arrived today so I could continue construction on Inquisitor Mahler Mk.II. All he needs now is his servo skull buddy and perhaps a targeter eye or something like that and then it off to the spray tan saloon...

Mek construction

Here's the finished KFF mek. I found some 1:35 scale ww2 russian officers caps that fit right in with my "deffstarz" theme...
