Hi Folks
apologies for the quite week from me, i kind of got tied up reading every spare second this week and have read two very good books, will probably get something up about them on monday and possibly (assuming my order from Maelstrom arrives) get some modelling started. In the meantime here are this weeks 5 finds:

1. Dark Future Gaming have their return of the Artist of the week feature, this week its Bohun, some awesome models there.
2. over on AGGTG the sentinal squadron is complete and looking rather tasty, might have to borrow an idea or two :)
3. Independant painters has a rather heavily weathered Ultramarines rhino (not to mention a video from one of my favourite shows of all time - not to mention having worked with a chap who was there one I know a fair bit about) so worth a look
4. More Blue Smurfs....... I mean Ultramarine action from Hephesto's Forge, a nice model and hopefully we'll see some more.
5. Finally over at Mywargame some progress on the plan to reboot some old Salamanders, its not a big start in terms of numbers but its a nice bit of sculpting.

1. JP over on the Artic Templars Blog has created an awesome and intimidating looking Furioso Librarian Dreadnought that is well worth checking out here.
2. Next more updates on Les Bursley's spectacular Astorath WIP are up on Awesome Paint job, a must for any painting fan.
3. Black Matt over at his Black Legion Blog has a superb set of pics on his freehand painted Blood Angels Death Company Rhino/Razorback - the freehand on the RB is subtle but its there if you look.

5. Finally SC Mike has a frugal and unique take on creating your own Banewolf, an interesting and fun conversion using wholly recycled parts.

Friday 5 Finds - 05.11.10

Here are this weeks Five Finds, no rhyme or reason to them, no theme to them this week just links ive come across in the last week that i like:

1. Over at My Wargame.com we have an excellent article on reviving and remodelling the Adeptus Arbites using cadians and greenstuff. very nice and a good job of bringing the models back to life.
2. Master of the Forge has the start of an excellent "Artscale" chaos space marine squad, the parts are in and the first completed model looks awesome.
3. Massive Voodoo has some of his latest WIP projects, a spectacular nurgle marine and a larger scale saxon warrior, both very drool worthy!
4. On Chapter of the Iron Skull we have his almost completed Iron Skulls Captain Marcus looking rather clean and swanky.
5. Finally on Dark Future Games we have an outrageously over the top Salamander Fireborn conversion - its big, its metal and its mental!!

Finally here is this weeks Five Finds Blog sneak peak:

Friday 5 Finds - 29.10.10

Well folks, this weeks 5 finds has a slight Halloweeny feel to it! A lot of undead and mutant action in this week so enjoy this spooktacular (sorry) edition:

1. Bell of Lost Souls have some entertaining kill team style rules for zombie games! well worth a download and definitely something to get the modelling minds tingling with excitement.
2. More undead warriors now with Winterdynes awesome Forge world Chaplain dreadnought, some nice tips and tricks and a subtly different colour scheme.
3. Next we have Strictly Averages mutant Chaos Space Marines, though whilst I say Chaos who knows but the man himself, there are some nice conversions and good use of the various plastic parts out there.
4. Up now we have the hordes of the Imperial Guard with Admiral Drax converting a nice little Chimera run about for his forces.
5. Finally over on Path of the Exodite we have an excellent scratch built Eldar Fighter, its clean lines almost redeem your eyes from the undead action above!

Friday 5 Find Picture of the week:

Friday 5 Finds - 01.10.10

This weeks Five Finds are from the past two weeks as I've been a little remiss of late.

1. Dave Taylor has put up some excellent and highly detailed pics of the Adeptus Custodes army he is selling off for charity. Dave is one of my favourite hobbyists and has inspired many of my projects and keep and eye for my homage to his guard in coming months.
2. From Ron over at From The Warp we have an excellent and highly detailed Dark Apostle conversion, Ron's step by step pics are something I would like to emulate in the future.
3. Heresy Workshop have this simple but effective converison of a Renegade Ogryn with a ripper gun, this shows well how a simple conversion can work.
4. Heresy Legions have some pics of their completed pre heresy Apothecary from their Rogue Trader homage.
5. Finally we have a link to the Wolf templars blog where they have some very cool conversions based on the new Forgeworld marks of armour. Very nice work.

Finally to make up for the lack or recent posting here are two additional links that I thought you all might enjoy:

• Another link to Dave Taylors blog, this time this link shows his excellent conversion of the primarch of the Space Wolves, Leman Russ.
• Sadoukad has an excellent post about his latest give away for his Copperhead Valkyrie and his link to the BFG bits store
