Battle for Salvation; 14 weeks and counting

This week I added another wrack to the completed list.  This this time Dragstor, who had some GW parts to him, though I can't remember exactly what. 

I also took the time today too do all of the bases for everything that had been comleted so far, as well as the ones for the next five wracks on my paint list.

 

I also started working on wire supports, using coat hanger wire, that will hold a couple of the 'flying' characters aloft and also the two old school raiders and the three rotons when I have them done. (the other three raiders, hellions, and ravagers I'm going to keep on the clear peg stands). My plan is to have plumes of hot gasses coming up from fissures on the surface of Snake Mountain, and make them out of some kind of cotton material spray painted and then use them to hide the supports.

 

I didn't do any work on the hellions this week but I knocked out all of my 18 kabalite warriors, who looked at one another in confusion as to why they were being painted up like toys from the 1980's.

 I really like the way these guys came out. I almost want to run around the house with them going "pyew pyew pyew".

The reenactment of my childhood is now complete

Battle for Salvation; 15 weeks and counting

Even taking the holiday off from hobby stuff, I still managed to get enough work done this week to feel a sense of accomplishment and that things are progresssing. I was hoping to have the hellions closer to being done but am still happy with how they're looking. I'm probably going to start on the 15 warriors I have to paint this week as I'm finishing up the hellions. 

 

As for the wracks, Webstor, Octavia, Leech, and Spikor have joined Faker and Mer Man in the ranks of the completed, with their bases being the only thing that needs to be done. I may end up waiting till the end and doing the bases all at once.

 Leech was a complete sculpt from scratch.  The only part on Spikor that was a previous model was the arm holding the mace, which I think was rom a Skaven kit. Webstor I remember had some Kroot DNA in him, and ghoul arms.  I think the head was also based on a ghoul and his weapons I got from the bitz box. Octavia started life as a daemonette.
