Ramshackle Vehicles

In my quest to finish unfinished projects I recently stumbled upon some vehicles I had lying around. I finished and updated a bit last year and this year I continue the project with a couple of vehicles from Ramshackle Games.

The Iron Grumbler.

The Badger.

I gave them both some pretty quick and dirty paintjobs, but considering the sculpts and what I am going to use them for (40K skirmish/Post Apocalypse) I think the paintjobs suits them very well and I am pleased with the outcome.

Also, let's face it, the Iron Grumbler has the looks of a 40K Rhino. So before people ask I already took a scale shot. The Iron Grumbler is quite the brute compared to the old Rhino, but I would have no problem fielding it as a Rhino or reinforced Rhino.

Piscean Warriors and More Tyranids

Finally I finished my second Piscean Warrior and got some photos taken of them both. At the same time I thought I would show a bit more of my growing Tyranid forces.

I was so lucky to get my hands on a copy of the original Piscean Warrior and the one sculpted by Obscure Creator over at the Oldhammer Forum. I think they look pretty good together and even though the new one is not a dublicate in style they still have the same size and bulk, so now I just wait for a couple more sculpts to complete a unit.

I also added eight more Hunter-Slayers to my pack of Tyranids. This brings me to a total of 18. To be honest, I have no idea if I will ever field that many, but it just looks impressive with a horde of these and whenever I see any cheap I can't stop buying them.

My combined Tyranid forces so far.

Next up is a Dominator to lead the forces. I also have a load of Genestealers, of course, but I really feel like they should stick to Space Hulk or their Genestealer Cult for now. But maybe they will join up with the Tyranid forces in the future.

Heartbreaker Hobbies Starship Marines

I had these six Starship Marines lying around for a couple of years. They used to be Heartbreaker Hobbies, but are now sold at Black Tree Designs. Too bad they currently only have six poses available, but let's face it, I probably won't need more anyway.

I actually got started on these in a kind of random way. They had been standing prepped and basecoated for more than a year, but I could never decide for a colour scheme for them. So standing there collecting dust I found them while looking for something completely different and I decided to give them some paint.

I remember how I originally wanted to paint them green, but since I painted so much green lately I ended up giving the first one a white/red scheme. It ended up looking pretty good and so I wanted to paint them all this way, but I wanted to keep one in different colours, so he could be a leader of sorts. In the end I gave them three different paintjobs in pair of twos.

This will work well for skirmish settings, having them prance about in pairs as guards or explore barren wastes in their powered armour.

A bit different angle.

Shark Teeth Marines And Field Police

I have been in the process of painting a Blood Angels assault marine squad and now I finally have half a squad ready, which means they will be able to make it into a game (potentially).

I want my Space Marines to be psychos, so I painted shark mouths on the assault marines. I think it is a great way to make them look really agressive and it will make them stand out on the battle-field.

"OK boys, let's ravage this town!"

I also wanted to do some Field Police for some time, but in the end I decided to make just a single marine instead of a complete squad of them. So I found a model I really liked and painted him in the colours of the Field Police. 

This guy will either make it into a veteran squad at some point or solely be used for skirmish. For now he can try to arrest the Blood Angels.
