Quick build for fall (spraying season)! Great kit, and it went together like a breeze. Wish these were in production. Kinda want to DIY scaffolding for it, but I’ll probably just spray this one ASAP and paint as is.

Dang. Making me want to take on a Primaris-sized project. -

One of us! These remind me of the kitbashes from WD302.

I’m actually interested in Shadow War Armageddon because of its small model size and relatively sleek rule set. Would love to see this for all old editions of games.

Finally, the "Water Meter"! Ironstrider dataslate, Skitarii vox backpack, garden wire, copper and steel wire from an old Apple charging cable, chipboard using a hole punch, strategically cut paperclip curves. Think this project is done except for sealing and spraying, which I'll do in the fall since it keeps raining/steaming around here.

Been working on this thing for so long I forgot that I don't have nearly enough human-sized infantry to actually give it much of a context. It's almost done, I just needed a break while I wait for fall. Many of you have probably also been dealing with the heat/humidity as well, and you have my deepest sympathies . Anyway- this, the Skitarii, and the water rationing station are all part of a big project I've been brainstorming (and you can see link in my bio) for a techno-feudal frontier world out in Segmentum Pacificus called Dalarna. Rediscovered during the Macharian Crusade with a roughly-feudal level of development, it features warring city-states and, of course, some precious mineral that has made it a target for the Ad Mech's mining interests. A few centuries later, enough time has passed that we have a melting pot of whatever kind of fun anachronisms I want to put in there. Here's a spotter in one of the Dalarnan Husgard regiments, pledged to one (TBD) of the noble houses who rule the constantly vying regional dukedoms ruled by the various city-states. There are a few versions of Freeguild/Guard kitbashes going around the web, but this one was largely inspired by a model built by @the_technoarchaeologist on IG. I really need to decide on factions/paint schemes for them and the Skitarii before I go to prime them, likely in October. Taking suggestions, as always. All of the ideas everyone has offered has been great inspiration for me to keep moving, so much appreciated. Since there will canonically be more than a few city-states, I can be pretty loose and have a few different schemes and just pick one for this particular squad. I am trying to avoid red/black since we'll have some Mechanicus and Imperial Agents involved and I'll need some variety. Grenade/pouch is from Solar Auxilia kit.

Yeah- I’m covering up a join. I think once there’s more stuff on there it will look more intentional.

I'll probably do some more today, but if I don't, here's an update: Using my modular banding system (novice Engineseer here) I blocked in and notched off this little wall for some electronics. This little paper clip and hole punch railing thing will be a mount for the data slate from the Ironstrider kit, and to its right and up a bit I'll mount the vox attachment from the Skitarii box to look like a electrical panel. The rest of a paperclip will provide some conduit and will curve back down into the bottom of the floating cardstock wall, and I'll use some guitar string or something to connect from the back of the dataslate over to the side of the vox bit (as electrical box). Hopefully that will all make sense if I post an update later . Thanks everyone for looking and providing comments. Unless I want to commit to some railings (which could be removeable and done later), this should be it for the building phase on this one. I ended up having way too much fun doing fiddly stuff with these fine details and trying to come up with ways to get the GW bits to fit in naturally. I think we might even have good enough weather for me to use some spray cans this weekend thanks to a cold snap. Fingers crossed

Kill Team: Shadowhunt
bloodhound23 replied to Joe's topic in + NEWS, RUMORS, AND BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS +
They were impractical because they were top heavy, beause they were metal, not because of their sculpt. Plastic update with most of the same aesthetic features (especially the helmets) would have solved it. I -
What if 40K had good guys?
bloodhound23 replied to Inquisitor_Lensoven's topic in + AGE OF THE IMPERIUM +
I think the term is basically unusable in the context of 30k/40k. Sure, it refers ocassionally actions that are undertaken by people in otherwise horrible circumstances, making the best out of tragedies inside tragedies. But to me it's crucial to understand the setting as a place where "being good" is basically an existential threat to your own survival, whether that's individually or collectively. That's the tragedy and horror of the setting. A banal good deed can only ever be situated in a world where everyone has to be a monster (or indifferent to wholesale monstrosity) to even have gotten here at all, and certainly has to be to continue to survive. Humanity is not good, the Emperor is doing what he presumably thinks he needs to do for it to survive. His motives are wholly inscrutable to mortals. It's Schmittian ultrapolitik all the way down. -
Sounds much easier actually! Still debating where to put it. On Reddit someone suggested if it’s a pressure control valve/gauge it would need a second pipe anyway. That’s its it’s a pressure gauge for the big tank. If if it’s intended to be a gauge for the pipe, I could say the single cable is actually conduit, and not piping. So now there’s that, too (lol)
-
Having it meet the bottom *without* cutting a double 45 degree cutaway (which sounds like a special kind of torture at this scale) sounds like it would stress me out, but I'm gonna see if I can try it real quick. EDIT: It's a hexagon, so double 30 degree cuts. Even better!
-
Here's a mockup of both sides, @Firedrake Cordova. Just garden wire, stripped and then 2mm bits of tubing on either side, top cut at an angle to meet the hex nut. I'm feeling left side, although I didn't exactly place it the best for the mockup for having it on the right. What do we think? Right or left?
-
Here's some detail on the top- drywall tape and a semicircle of cereal box, plus the new gauges. I'm leaning towards leaving them unconnected, or maybe wires into a box or directly down into that floor plate/adapter. I'm also considering making a little panel and putting the dataslate on the lower platform, and I might put a cardstock plate and some electronic greebles over that big "AHH" text on the sparkling water can, so it can also cover up the gap where the platform attaches the banding system. It kinda looks like its sagging, only because I should have glued everything at once, instead of attaching that horizontal rounded strip to the platform at the wrong angle (!!) and then gluing the whole thing onto the vertical strips. Lessons learned, and maybe this will work. That way it really is a water rationing station, and to get necessary readings you'll need to go at least to the lower platform, and then to get individual pressure readings or turn off either tank, you'll need to climb up to the top. Either way, you gotta flirt with a bit of danger to do your job—as is to be expected in the far future. The very top platform will have to justify itself using Rule of Cool, and I'm gonna leave it precariously unprotected so models could have better line of sight and can rotate freely. Although I do agree, @Dr_Ruminahui, that that would be the most cinematic location for it. EDIT: I do have a bit that I could put on the top platform and have it be high ground for some vox-comm system. I'll think it over. I'm worried about having small fiddly bits out on the edge since I will probably glue everything down after I'm done painting it in sections.
