a green skinned goblin stands on a worn and weathered candleholder among a collection of old books. A big burning red candle sits on the goblins head, positioned like some sort of giant top hat. The goblin holds a burnt match in place of a spear. A smattering of red wax adorns the candleholder and an open box of redhead matches can be seen behind the goblin.

Dak always dreamed of being on television. Since joining the Ruinous Powers and following Tzarn, The Lord of Changing Channels, his dream has sort-of come true. Now he's a goat-like Beastman with a view-screen for a head, wielding a loop aerial in one clawed hand and a clicker in the other. He has a lovely blue top, though, and he quite likes the yellow cut-off shorts

Dak in the Underhive, back to us this time, about to go knock on a door and see if he can get any more converts. He's hopeful, even though he doesn't always get a good reception.

Close up of a white-armoured space marine figure with red edging and pink shoulders. She is carrying a neon pink power sword and a bolt pistol with a pink casing. The head is that of a young anime girl with a bright red headband, horse ears and pink hair. From this angle you can see she is smiling, and at her feet lies a bloody decapitated orc head. The aquila on her chest is pink and from here you can see her armour is chipped and showing through as silver in various places beneath.

Rear view of a white-armoured space marine figure with red edging and pink shoulders. She is carrying a neon pink power sword and a bolt pistol with a pink casing. From this angle you can see she has a giant red bow beneath her power pack, which is silver with brass finishings and red jump pods. the bow is attached to a swishy pink tail.

Harumarine: A story card showing a white-armoured space marine figure with red edging and pink shoulders. She is carrying a neon pink power sword and a bolt pistol with a pink casing. The head is that of a young anime girl with a bright red headband, horse ears and pink hair. Next to it is text which reads: Captain Haru Urara, Space Umamusumarine. Then an extract of text allegedly from the memoirs of a soldier from the Tanith 1st (And Only). It reads: "We were about to break, when we heard it. A cheerful chant growing louder and louder. "Umapyoi! Umapyoi! Umapyoi!" The earth starting shaking and I looked up at Colonel Corbec in confusion. He was smiling. Then he started laughing. "You hear that lads?" He shouted, above the lasfire. "The fething cavalry's here!" Beneath it is a picture of the anime horse girl on which the painted miniature is based. She is a young, excited horse girl with a swishing pink tail and hair, and white racing jacket lined with red. She is punching the air.

#hobbystreak Day 503

The Archmagos Prime is done...

... for now at least, my #scouringera Mechanicum army is a year-long project so I'll likely return in a few months for some touch-ups with fresh eyes.

I've added some highlights to the filagry and finished the blending on the cloak of the Archmagos Prime.

I also reunited her with her base. Next will be the to do some final highlights and detailing.

#hobbystreak Day 496 - 499

Had a busy weekend but managed to make some decent progress on the Archmagos Prime.

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #mechanicum #archmagos #paintingwarhammer

The layered colours on the cloak of the Archmagos, now with more defined layers and gear transfers at the bottom.

An experiment with filagry on the armour plating of the Magos.

#hobbystreak Day 495

More progress on the Magi including the cloak on the Archmagos and an experiment with filagry on the armour.

I'm much happier with the more defined layers on the cloak, next up will be subtly bending them.

#warhammercommunity #horusheresy #mechanicum #paintingwarhammer

So do they play a Dwarven version of the coffin dance as they march him into battle?

So I had a crazy idea.
Saturnine praetor into nurgle Daemon prince. Using the wings from the Necromunda ashwing helamites kit.

I'm pretty happy with it. Gonna add some more battle damage and then finish the base.

The Old World would really benefit with a series of "uniforms and heraldy of..." series of books like how WFB did for Empire and Skaven

(and yes, Averland is visually high on my list for schemes I'd pick from)

Getting some basic colours down on my Magos to test out the colour scheme.

Testing out some colours on my Magos.

A painted "miniature" self propelled artillery piece, that looks like an old railway cannon but moved by 2 super heavy tanks instead of a train, with an absolutely giant cannon up top.

Learned about Hoplite's GNOM Medium Artillery today, which they claim is the world's largest tank kit styled for 28mm miniatures.

Yeah, it's kinda neat. 3D printing really let people get kinda bonkers with stuff, huh?

Pic from Hoplite.

Finally got around to making some proper pictures of my take on Bherek Stornbrow to fit in with my Miner Beserks.

The magnetisation of the Vultarax's main weapon.

#hobbystreak Day 488

I started building the Vultarax, in the process magnetising the main weapon as in the future I might want to play with some different loadouts despite the rules not (currently) existing for it.
