    Alright, the squad is finished! "Keep your bolter clean and your tactics dirty"

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    I have a 10-man squad of Iron Warriors Breachers and everything was going well. I painted the stripes, the trim, then brushed Iron Warriors -> Leadbelcher -> Strormhost Silver over everything is prep for my favourite wash: Basilicanum Grey Contrast. Normally this makes for a nice armour base on...

    Hard to believe I actually finished... my very first painted mini!

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    Sooo... I finally broke down and bought an airbrush, which means I can prime indoors, which means... I've finally painted my first mini! There's still some work to be done, with weathering, and a few details like eyes, decals, etc, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome so far!

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    When blended in with an entire squad, I think they add some nice flavour! You can also see me using MKIII+MKIV here together. In short (albeit a little late for that now...) I think I'm on the right track! I'm going to keep assembling standard tact squads and then arming them after the...

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    I have slowly been assembling models and have run into an issue... when I was putting together Necromunda gangs, there was a lot of opportunity for customizing each member. When you only have to deal with a handful or two of models, putting that extra bit of effort in with each one didn't feel...

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    I hadn't thought about it as praise-the-sun until you mentioned... and now I can't unsee it, haha. Coming from Titanicus, I sorta forgot how limited standard GW figures can be when it comes to posing. I also think I mislead myself a few years ago when kitbashing Escher/Sororitas together as...

    1 MKIII Tactical Squad assembled... I plan on assembling at least 1 Tact Squad of each mark available (III, IV, and VI) and then will decide on loadouts and numbers for my legion. I'm also waiting on some 3rd-party heads and such that I think will add the custom elements I want to my squad...

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    I sat down this morning and started writing out the models I'd need to actually finish some of my armies... I started with Custodes and, thankfully, outside of the out-of-stock dreads, I'm running a surplus (thanks to a Combat Box): I'll likely start assembling these this month. I have some...

    Ok, quick update sans photos... ...I've decided against the magnetizing infantry arms. To get the poses I want, and to make things more stable for eventual painting, I think glue is just a better choice. Magnets worked great for Titanicus, on all sizes of model, but for Hersey, I'm going to...

    Just updated the first post in the thread to reflect how it'll look going forward - looking forward to posting more progress pics as it gets going!

    One thing I learned building so many Titanicus models was magnets are a v powerful tool... This is my first time trying to magnetize something as small as a terminator but I have high hopes!

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    Oh boy... it's been a bit hasn't it? Sooo... here's an update! I sold all my Necromunda, Adeptus Titanicus, and Blood Bowl, in that order (BB being just this week). In the long run, I never got to play a single game of either but kitbashing and learning how to model really helped me through the...

    Moustache's Modelling Mayhem (and other such ramblings)

    Don't talk to me or my son again There's a lot of leftovers in the Redmptionists box so I thought I'd take a model from the Age of Sigmar Flagellants and try adding a new upper-torso... Unfortunately I may have hacked a little too much away, thus diminishing his height... oops.

    A bit of paint and maybe I can blend some of these TTCombat walls in with Zone Mortalis?

    Trying to decide how to build out a modular board; max size is 3x5: Should I build 1 tile at a time, or earmark X number of tiles for certain sections? Here's a sample of terrain:
