How many times can you play an unpainted army based with Blue-Tac?

   I'm not proud to say it, but these guys are at least primed after the last three games I used them in!  Pretty embarrassing to have your Kasrkin fall over when the Blue-Tac holding them to their base gives way.

Eisenkern Guard build pt1

(or why I love OTHER miniature companies)

   Yes, I realize I am building several minis with NOT A SINGLE GW part other than the base! (and one bolt pistol)

The photo above is one of my test builds using the awesome Dreamforge Games Eisenkern range with several conversion bits from other companies. (don't mind the BlueTac holding the heads and weapons on!)

Not a refit, but...

Well look what the monthly resupply brought us!

I realize that this isn't a picture of old Rogue Trader miniatures, but it is a new project to add to the list!

Here comes the Guard!

Sure, I know they're now called the "Astra Militarum", but they'll always be the Imperial Guard to me!

Well, these guys are nearly Imperial Army, as old as they are!  I've got an entire box of the Rogue Trader Imperial Guard soldiers that I built years ago, painted probably 3 of them and then put them away as life got too busy.  Now they're back on my project table and ready to be completed.

Back to work!

So, I've been VERY remiss with the lack of updates here for the last 6 months!  OOPS!  Between changing jobs, running photography workshops and generally goofing off, I have been rather delinquent in posting what is new with my 40k modeling.  Not much has been completed, but a lot is "IN PROGRESS".

   I've spent a lot of time working on my Inquisitorial warband and between learning new techniques, changing the paint scheme and some messy greenstuff work that I forgot to clean up before painting, they are still NOT COMPLETE!

The Inquisition Cometh!

   I've been itching to deploy an Inquisitorial detachment with my army for the last few months, but as I've been too busy to play, much less paint, I've got nothing to deploy!  I hate proxying with just a blank base marked with masking tape, so after the first of the year, I decided to get serious about converting some figures to fill out the detachment.

Rogue Trader Land Raider Conversion - Part 2

(why I hate priming in the south during the summer!)

   It has been a busy few months with work, so progress has been slow on the RT-era Land Raider.  Lots of trimming, sanding and filling, to get it ready to prime.  I also had to prep all of the magnetized conversion parts for the modifications to make it a stand-in for a Spartan.
