Carrier of the baby is done finally!!

OK so - making the legs posable was waaaay too complicated. I know this isnt optimal but I shoulda thought about that when I made the Dread legs posable lol - Instead there is a mirrored version so you can at least get reasonable close to whatever pose you make for the machine.

I did tuck the pilot back in to the opening a little more, as much as I could and still fit the leg versions. 

Added the handles in the hand for controlling the beast.

Any and all SW heads will f...

Legs probably will not be posable but any terminator arms will work fine

back to it then...

Accipiter progress update

Starting to take shape a bit.  Not totally happy with the fuselage just yet but Im digging the VTOL engines and guns placements so far...

What do you all think...  should landing gear be visible and usable for sitting the model on the table top? or no landing gear, flight stand only?

or both?!

Getting started

So I got started with the smallest Silver Wardens flyer, the SW Accipiter (hawk)

Very early stages...  nothing is firm here, just slapping bits together til I find a pleasing shape that steers heavily away from some IP or another... so far so good.

The features of the ship are very common to pretty much any scifi VTOL concept you can find on google images.

Biggest problem I am having is size.  Obviously I want these to be roughly the same dimensions of its counterp...

June work!

Hey all!  thanks for hanging out!

IDK if any of you have noticed but I have removed nearly every photo from past posts because almost every photo has been DMCA'd.

I will continue forward in a careful manner.  And if I receive another DMCA I will challenge it.  Then I hope to open a dialogue with GW and see what I can do to avoid such issues in the future.  I still believe in what we are doing here...  

and what is that? you may ask...

I love 40...

May work!

SO I think its time to get some 1K HIjos work going...

Thinking along the lines of an Exalted Sorcerer in terminator armor.  This will help get prepared for the scarabs in the future.

Also its way past time for a Brotherhood Champ...  so we'll get that going too.

Also far past time for a each brotherhood to have their proper tilt shields from the codex. so 8 new tilt shields.

That's my plan for May.

Lobotomy boiz...

...are ready

Check your Patreon message box - if you didn't receive a message but are supposed to have this release...

first - give it a few minutes - maybe an hour - some people get the message fast , others are delayed for whatever reason

if you still do not have the message - you can message me and Ill fix you up.

Servitor Size??

So Im thinking that our server boiz should be maybe half to a full head taller than a guardsman?  Or more?

What you all think??

Look ma! Real art!

Hired a real concept artist to do some nice concepts for me.  I told her they were lobotomized servants and she really reflected that in their faces! lol  Ill tone that down a bit when I sculpt them.  I also didnt try to have her make all the exact wargear, I just gave her some ref images and let her do her thing.

So now I have a nice guide to sculpt by and Ill be getting started here in a week or so.

Looking forward to these..  hope you are as well

Thank...

Wound Markers re-vamped

OK after the initial release of the 1d6 markers I have re done them all with input from your fine brothers and sisters on Discord... (if you arent on the Discord, feel free to jump in! the water's fine! there was an invite in your welcome message - DM me if you need another invite)

Anyway I made a full set of 1d6, 2d6 and 3d6 wound markers with data sheet unit symbols.  I also exported a blank one of each size and a bunch of symbols so those of you who wish to do so can make your o...

SW Wound Markers!

Just a little detour on the way to getting the very stern Brother finished... 

These are the single d6 markers, 2d6 and 3d6 dice markers soon. MAYBE other types of dice (d10, d20?)

Hope you all find these useful!

As always, thanks for being here!

March!

March!  Lets get a new but particular Captain done.  A very stern brother he is.  I know he isn't really used much - but I have pledged to complete the codex so it is a necessary step.

I will also include a 1K Hijos unit  but I am currently reviewing my options on that since I don't have a ton of time this month, so it will likely be a single figure unit or perhaps I can get the 1K version of the recent grav transport out - or maybe just maybe I could get one of the ...

Mods and fixes

Couple mods to the Ferox tanks.

Didn't like what I did with the hull so I separated out the interior bulkhead wall.  Hopefully this will make printing it a little easier,

Also it was pointed out a couple time that the left track wasnt supported.

I added it to Gumroad, but if you already downloaded you should get a message (from Gumroad, not me) with the relevant files attached

Thanks folks!

Hijos 1K files appended

Apparently I forgot to clean and export the staves.  Many of you might notice these are not new staves.  I pulled the ones from the Shaman, Domini Infernalus and theSorcerer in the Diorama.

If we end up needing more staves I can add them to the list in #promises-promises in the Discord.

Go back to the link in your messages and you can DL the staves


Thanks again for your patience and for hanging out with me!

Holidays!

Hey everyone!  As always, thanks for being here and hanging out with me.  Your support is super appreciated and I'm getting closer to a time when I can devote more time to the Patreon and give you all more models per month.  This Patreon has allowed me to be more picky with the freelance gigs I take and that's huge to me, not feeling the pressure to take EVERY job that I get offered because I have to make the bills, you know?,  

You all have provided me breathing roo...
