Such a cool wave of models!

 

[Warden]

Thanks @JTSleep !

Last month I went through and repainted an old Cawdor gang that I assembled and only partially painted 5-6 years ago. Its crazy to think that this particular project is as old or older than my kid... and now that she is older she helped me finish them by working on the bases!



My initial plan was to have these guys match my Ryza Admech minis, but I fell out of love with my first attempt to paint them and the project stalled. This time around i was inspired by several great content creators on instagram chiefly by therealbrokenfingers as well as the forgeworld of al-Ash by bat abattoir.



I went with a blue-teal color scheme for a nice Blue Jawas look!



This guy is my favorite with his robot arm:

Spoiler: more Admech Cawdor

I hope you like them! Really enjoyed taking the pics too, makes them nice and flavorful I think in a wasteland desert setting.

I love the cool blue scheme! Although I'm surprised you did not add contrast by using green for the eye lenses

Funny you say that, I was originally thinking of green eye lenses, but changed my mind to not only match my Iron Hands/proto-Sons of Medusa's lenses, but also I felt the "cool" look of the light blue fit the vibe I was going for.



I also finished off this five-man squad of marines at the same time. Appreciated how they turned out too so I took a few pics of them together.



^Really enjoyed the medusa head on the center marine's pauldron.

I played around with the settings or a few of these, thought they turned out very atmospheric.

Finished kitbash/converting up a second body for some of my Feral Warbeasts' leftover parts. The body on the left is the original model.

Nice. What is the elk from?

The elk is a mix of sources

- head and mane are Warmachine bits from the original Warbeast kit (Feral from Old Umbrey). Both head and back are magnetized and can be swapped out.

- the back legs and most of the body are from a Reaper moose, and the front arms are also from Reaper from a bug/alien-monster. Arms were the right size.

- the rest of the fur is all Milliput to bring the model together.
