Tzeentch Lord of Change

I received this model as a trade and I was trying to think how I could improve the 1998 sculpts. I went with changing the pose and using both heads. 

The tree was left over from the heresy dragon and I thought it would make a nice perch for the old bird.

Its a nice model but the pictures on the box and GW's website do it no favours. Hopefully I can do a good job on it. 

It was a swine to put together. I started at about 8 and finished three and a half hours later with much drilling, pinning and super gluing fingers together.

Adventures in grey stuff.

When I ran out of green stuff last time I picked up some of the Gale force 9 grey stuff as I had heard good things about it. These are some photos of Geoffrey the Orang-utan. He may become a DJ or a Butler  

And a 28mm Victorian Doctor making a house call. He is based on a ebob miniatures puppet because I've still not quite got the hang of making an armature of my own yet. I've just had an idea that I'm going to try out for it, If successful I'll post more here. 

Some other bits that needed finishing off

Here are another couple of projects that have been sat in the queue for too long. 20 Mantic skeletons for my undead army.

A unit of trolls to go with Throgg on the battlefield converted from the battle for skull pass troll and Ogre weapons

Heroquest Fimir on 40mm bases 

Hobgoblins

I've not posted for a while because I've been trying to finish off this. It feels like i've painted nothing but hobgoblins for months. First up is a horde of hobgoblin archers. There's 40 of them with unit fillers

Then there is a unit of 35 hobgoblins with shields and axes. I've got more of these in the pipeline.

One of those days

Resin shorts

I was working on some resin casting in particular my new 40mm bases when I managed to tip 30ml of fast cast resin over my crotch. Not an experience I plan on repeating EVER!

Fortunately I responded quickly and missed anything important. It still took about quarter of an hour scrubbing my leg raw to get the little that seeped through the fabric. The resin set completely solid in the fabric.

Then cleaning up the hobgoblin casts I broke a scalpel blade which shot across the room landing on the computer desk where Karina had been sitting a few moments ago. At this point I decided to give up on hobby stuff for the day, before something serious happened.

Square resin bases

As I've started casting my own figures I need something for them to stand on.

I sculpted a cobblestone pattern on to 20mm bases and took a mold from them. 

Here they are cast and painted.

20mm paving stone bases

I sculpted these two last night and I'm going to sculpt another 2, when I've got more green stuff

40mm paving stone bases 

Throgg and his minions

To make use of the special rules for Throgg, I've been casting up and converting trolls. I've been using clubs and iron fists from the ogre bulls box. I plan to cast another three to run them as a troll horde.
