Custom Escher Gang

Here's my custom Escher gang that I made from Raging Heroes Jailbirds. I've used a mish mash of 40k weapons, Kroot shoulder pads and a whole load of Green Stuff to get them looking more like they belong in the 40K universe. It's a 2 day paint job start to finish, I just like to get these things finished! I'm available for commissions, contact me on g.manners@hotmail.com for enquiries.

Genestealer Cult [Commission]

Finished this Genestealer cult commission. Had a blast painting them, such cool models! Same idea as before - speed and low price point, just get them on the battlefield. Really pleased with how these came out. Contact me on g.manners@hotmail.com if you want me to paint your army for you. 

Jump Racer 'Concept' Sculpt

Here's how the Zbrush concept sculpt is looking at the moment. I worked out all the joints and volumes in 3DS Max, then took into Zbrush to start to work into the shapes using Dynamesh. I believe creating a rough mesh and working out the forms in Dynamesh is called 'concept sculpting'! I've learned loads about Zbrush in the last week or two, really keen to push this to the next level. On to refinement! 

Jump Racer Blockout Turntables

Made a quick 3D model to push the design of the Jump Racer forwards a bit. Bit of an exciting development regarding this project that I will divulge a bit later on when things become a bit more concrete! For now, here's the turntable poses.

Warlord Titan WIP 2

I've been working on my Titan on and off for the past 6 months. I left it alone for a bit because the clean up was doing my head in, but one day I decided to just get on with it and I'm glad I did! The legs are looking great and I'm really happy with the colour scheme.

I'm using the same process as my Imperial Knights, but I've added some steps because of the size of the kit, it'll end up looking a bit flat if I use the exact same process.

Imperial Knight Crusader [Freedom]

Finished this guy. Pretty happy with it, but I'm so over painting Imperial Knights now! The Warlord will be a challenge... Anyway, here's some pictures for your viewing pleasure. I always love the photography stage, I forget as I've not shot anything since my Acheron. Might try and do some little builds to get more photography practice in. 

Servants Of The Machine God [Necromunda Instant Paint Job Tutorial]

I cobbled these together to play Necromunda with. My first time making any kind of custom miniature, so I'm pretty pleased with the result. They perform really nicely in the game as well! 

I got given a box of the new Skitarii Rangers for my birthday last year, and instead of just straight up building them I though they'd make a great base for a Van Saar gang. The idea is that they're a cut off group of Van Saar gangers that got a bit too attached to their technology and started worshipping it.

Imperial Knight [Freedom] WIP1

I've just finished this guy too. I'm just about to do the final photo shoot with my new setup, but for now here's some WIP photos. Exact same process as the other two Knights, and the same process I'll be using on my Warlord. 

Warlord Titan WIP1

So I got hold of one of these second hand, I left it for a while but I decided to start putting it together. I'm actually doing loads of creative stuff at the moment, but it never seems to make it to the Blog for some reason! I think I'm getting a bit lazy. Gotta snap out of it.

As with all resin kits I've worked on, there was lots of cleaning up left to do, and some parts I had to use a hair dryer to warp back into shape. Saying that, overall the cast is VERY good. Though you'd expect nothing less for the price!

Necron Army Progress Part 2 - Overlord & Immortals

Here's where I'm at with my Overlord and Immortals. I'm grouping them together in this post because I painted them around the same time. I've got a Doomsday Ark, Warriors and some Tomb Blades on the go, as well as some Deathmarks which puts the force comfortably around 1250 points with gear, which I probably won't exceed.
