Plastic Stormtroopers IV: Size Comparison

Here's a photo comparing the size of my plastic storm trooper / warrior acolyte conversions to that of the original Cadian Kasrkin metal model. Not bad, eh?

Amazing what interchangeable multi-part multi-source kits, a little imagination, and some easy gluing can achieve, along with a simple paintjob.

Note: Normal service re: photo uploading, has now resumed. I'll be posting more about my brand new 2013 army very soon!

Plastic Stormtroopers III: Warrior Acolytes Completed

First post of the new year, Happy New Year everybody!

Vin Diesel 40K: Riddick 28mm Miniature Kitbash

I've always liked the movie Pitch Black, the Chronicles of Riddick maybe not so much despite it being the closest live-action 40k-esque movie out there at the moment, disregarding Starship Troopers.

The big draw of these movies is the one and only Riddick, as portrayed by mousy, wallflower geek-actor Vin Diesel. With the impending release of yet-another sequel due late-2013, I thought it fitting to work up a new addition to my existing armies, be it Imperial Guard, Grey Knights, etc. Thank you 6th edition allies rules!

Grey Knights - 3rd Wave

 

Reconditioning old Grey Knights is a long an ardous process I think you will agree, but so far the results have been worth it.

Season's Greetings

Seasons greetings to all readers, and happy holidays to all.

2012 was the year of 6th edition, and we're all enjoying it for now, warts and all. I for one will be starting a new army, to complement my existing Imperial Guard and Grey Knight model range. Building upon one's collection is so addictive!

Merry Xmas & a very Happy New Year to you all.

Decapitated Cadians?

Watch this space as I embark on yet another new modelling project, ready for the New Year...

Plastic Stormtroopers II: Inquisition Requisition

I recently found out that my post last year regarding plastic stormtroopers is both the most-widely searched for, AND the most-widely read article on my blog.

That makes me feel proud. In fact, since the release of the Imperial Guard Codex yonks ago and the fact that people are still interested, searching, and looking for news, rumours, ideas and inspiration for plastic stormtroopers tells me there's a bonzer market for it. Come on GW, get your act together and RELEASE SOME MOAR PLASTIC CRACK. Please, please PLEASE!

In the meantime, I built my own. As will most players. (See: Crimson Stormtrooper above)
