‘No problem, here’s how you make one…’

Greetings my most excellent friends! I’m currently two units and two characters into my Pirates force, it’s a start but not a lot. Now, unde...

Carrying on the blog, I made a new unit.

Nice conversions! That artwork was interesting, did wonder why the wings weren’t replicated as a model…

 

[ManicMan]

weren't they meant to be kinda ethereal wings? while they could have done them as metal, I do find alot of the earlier stuff more avoided putting them and left it up to the customer if they wanted or not.

But that's more just my view ^_^

A significant number of the artwork is based on existing models, so I wonder if this image was too or more loosely inspired by the text.

yep. Can be hard to tell at times. Well, unless it's more concept art which you can often see when someone knows about sculpting, so they will do up the designs with sculpting in mind etc.

That’s some smashing conversion work. Nice!

I like the conversions. Reading back through the posts, these are Sunblitz Brotherhood. Nice work.

Ah yes! Meant at the time, but it was a neat call back. 👍

I decided my Space Elves needed a vehicle!

 

[Brother Meredith]

Where is that vehicle from (the manufacturer not craftworld!)?

That's great. Fits very well with the old "Pirate Eldar" theme that Rogue Trader ran with for the Eldar. I think you've highlighted it well given the large flat (okay curved, but you know what I mean) surfaces.

Love the space ship - I'm getting 'old school VW beetle vibes' of it - which is a very good thing!

It’s a clementoni RoboBeetle toy, came with inner parts to make a robot toy, those bits are now in a box 😂

Saw it in a local toy shop, thought it looked right.

RoboBeetle

A kit for building a cute beetle robot! If you put this robot on the table, it moves around busily, yet realises when it has reached the edge, stopping and changing direction to avoid the fall! The beetle has 6 feet which really move, making it seem convincingly realistic. The upper part of Robo...
