Finished my commander finally! Or a commander. I'll deal with the base later Commander Yuq'rok-Muntoa. The most highly decorated Temple Guard Champion to make it out of the Great Catastrophe and wind up getting sucked into the Warp. It is now tasked with training young Saurus and leading small detachments against the enemies of the Guns of Sotek. It's featured in one of my battle reports before and will again as I have a game on tonight!
Got two more boys done! At this rate I should have a complete army by the time the sun burns out. These are two squad champions. One from the New Brood with the orange spines and a kilt, the other is of the Old Brood, looking fairly standard.
What basing I tend to do I use Geek Gaming Scenics Base Ready range. Just put the basing glue down, then apply the basing. Lovely stuff. https://www.geekgamingscenics.com/collections/base-ready My only advice is to get some plastic tubs to put the stuff in for storage and better application, else they're in bags you can't even reseal. It might not be the same as a truly personalised basing job, but it is an amazing product. Looks nicer than anything I ever managed to do otherwise.
It looks pretty good. I've got kind of a vision for my terrain which probably doesn't help. Looking to create some kind of swampy jungle ground with bits of broken machinery/metal plates/etc sticking out of it.
Two more lads finished and ready for the fight. A little bit messier than normal, I wanted to prep them for a game I have tonight so I had limited time to do everything. Sculpted some hands from scratch and had to cut and reposition arms. Also added accessories. I still need to add some extra bits to their belts, like their saurus clubs and some pouches or grenades. But these are battle-ready for now.
Its been a bit quiet around here. I've joined a local Maker Space which has given me access to a resin 3D printer. So I've been working away on modeling parts and learning how to print stuff that looks good. I've finally managed to produce some stuff that is good enough to try painting. At the top are some prints of scans of classic shields. I modified the scan by removing the sprue and flattening the base to make it easier to stick them to the sides of tanks. The coins were something I downloaded. I can't remember where from though. I am not sure if I am going to use these as objective markers or command points. They are double sided. I might try painting the rounded parts as jewls, I need to get practice at that. Finally, the snake things are of my own design. The have been designed to fit onto the side of Chimera based vehicles with the gaps corrisponding to panel gaps on the models. These aren't finished yet. I still have a few more stages to go on my overly complicated gold recipe. But so far its looking good and you can hardly tell they are 3D printed unless you put certain items right up to your eye.
