Oh nice! And the hatch even opens. Great use of bits and bobs! Thoroughly piratical.

thank you.
thank you, too.
a couple of updates today. first a somewhat haphazard sci-fi lot.
three diehard miniatures and a couple of (resin) cash points from ttcombat.
klint and brutus will be joining my bounty hunters, and have been painted accordingly. as i has the polish crimson out, i splashed it on the others too and thought the green would make a nice counterpoint. i don't really know why i went for a reversed paint job on the cash points.
here's the complete bounty hunter company, just awaiting a vehicle.

speaking of vehicles, the second update is transport for my sensei band.
i originally bought this toy with the vague idea it would make a good vehicle for some squats.
since i don't have any squats, i decided it would make an even better vehicle for some figures i did have.
i removed the mechanism that allowed it to move so that it actually looks as though it has decent ground clearance, and then glued the wheels and axles back in place. whilst i had it dismantled i added the wire mesh inside the windows. now you can't see the interior.
the graffiti is the factory paint job. i just painted the bumper and lights and gave it a black wash. i've forgotten to print out a number plate, my intention was kid 574r. perhaps i'll remember later. my other vehicles don't (yet) have number plates, so it doesn't matter if i don't.
here's a reminder of the sensei band with their new ride.

I think 'Rad' is the best description I can come up with!

you're not the only person to say that.
a quick paint job on some of the barrels and crates from model display products.

Oh, fabulous! I love Brutus, Klint, and T282. And the Monstery Machine is fantastic. Lovely stuff!

thank you.
three diehard miniatures daemons and couple of larger barrels from model display products.
the succubus come in two parts, the wings and the rest. the other red daemon has each wing as a separate element.
the red ones match my frostgrave daemons and imps.

These guys need their own Saturday morning cartoon!

if you know anyone in the industry ...
meanwhile i've been scratch building another vehicle.
a catch wagon for my bounty hunters.
a spray undercoat tends to bring the disparate elements together.
although i had to add a few small components afterwards due to fragility. i also need to add a wash to the headlights before varnishing.
i'm quite pleased with the base on this one, although it will mean it looks fairly ridiculous in 99% of gaming situations.

Love it! Simple, clear, and eminently gameworthy. The screen cage is an inspired touch. Great stuff. Well done!
Well done!twisted moon

here're some fantasy bits. some for scatter and others to be incorporated into terrain tiles.
a statue and coffin from model display products, mantlet and spotter from scotia grendal, and well from midlam miniatures.
all the woodwork was done with woodstain over a grey undercoat.
i'd originally thought the statue would go amongst my ruined terrain tiles, but i saw an overgrown example on the weald discord server and decided to emulate that for a forest tile instead.
i already had a mantlet and spotter painted, here they are for comparison.

a (metal) grave marker from the warzone battlefield trenches and foxhole set and a set of (resin) kroot hounds.
i picked up the kroot hounds when i had a gw voucher to spend. they're intended to be generic predatory pack animals for st. andrews world.
i tried to create a oyemaru mold of the grave marker so i could produce a few more in milliput for general use as some sort of game token. however the metal was too bendy so it'll just be an objective marker i expect.

That grave marker is a neat idea and the hounds look great. Well done!

thank you both. i've got another bunch of these to paint at some point in the not too distant future.

some more ratmen.
second from left is a metal sculpt from macrocosm. the others are plastic kitbashes, although the one on the far left has a metal hand and sword from a second generation poisoned wind gobadier.
the other three have right hands and swords from oathmark goblins.
the skaven with two hand weapons completes this unit of twenty clan skryre warriors.

i thought i was going to do another grave marker and batch of kroot hounds, but then an idea popped into my head for what to do with the other lidl tin can, that wasn't just another storage silo.
an arial defence tower for my imperial army firebase.
the missile launcher is from culverin models, and rotates. there a blotz hatch and entry control which you can't really see on the balcony.
the rest is just bits of scrap i had lying around.
i don't think i've posted the firebase before, though i may be misremembering. i made it a few years ago. here's the current status with some ttcombat barricades.
i need somewhere for the troops to live / sleep, and a garage for their rh1n0 (iron grumbler).
