It’s been a little while…

 So it’s been a little while since I last posted anything on this blog, changes in jobs and real world stuff meant that I couldn’t spend time or energy here.  Well I’m going to attempt to try again.

First up is my Legion (4th) Iron Warriors.  These are five warriors from a legion tactical support squad I have been painting.  Still need to finish the bases, but that can wait till I have a few more done.  

This Iron Warrior project has been inspired by exploits of the Iron Warrior Loyalists Narik Dreygur, Barabus Dantioch, and Kyr Vhalen.

Speaking of Narik, I was lucky enough to get his event only model a while back from a friend, so he will be leading the force initally.

I’ve got him stood on a fellow Iron Warriors backpack instead of the usual defeated enemy one to show the losses that Iron Warrior tactics often inflict to achieve the most direct path to victory.  

Hope you enjoyed the post, I aim to get more Iron Warriors completed and posts ready soon.

3d Printed Thunderhawk Gunship

This is a project I'm working on.  This is actually a two phase project.  It will end up being thunderhawks for my marine forces.  The first phase is printing a model from Thingiverse found here.  It was designed by Montrano.  It's a low detail model, so will need grubbins and grebbles for finishing.  This is the current state of the model.

Phase two, which is running concurrently with phase 1, is designing a new more detailed model.  This is the current state of the 3D model.

This is a test print of the cabin door.  I was a bit tight on the measurements, so it's a tight fit across and a bit short vertically.  I'm making the adjustments and will reprint later this week.  It also shows the channels are two narrow.  I'm going to go from .2 to .5 mm.  Measuring on some marine tanks, this seems to be more like the gap gw use.

As part of the project I need is 8 predator heavy bolters (4 of each left and right side) and 2 land raider doors per gunship.  If anyone has some spare, I'll happily purchase these.

What do you think?

The long hobby war contiunes...
