Awesome progress, some great conversions and kitbashes throughout
Those wranglers look proper creepy!
Also well done on the cloth for the skith, looks so silky smooth
Finished the navigator & boat, barring the basing.
Next up is painting the first lot of valkyrie vibe phantoms and building the rest of the ambush set infantry into fleetwardens to actually get a legal TK Ambush list!
Finished boat, void captain and a kitbashed dreadfiend.
Currently painting up impalers and the valkyrie phantoms, then will come another build phase (scarecrows, mutants, corsairs and the NS hero set)
Well, the Black Friday sales happened!
While not unsurprisingly the new TK wasn’t overly discounted, did find a butcher horde for 45% off and a nice looking void lurker alternative from D&L
Have a couple of the mantic mind screech models and this fits a vaguely similar vibe for the alternative option.
Void lurker stand in built - nice chunky boy.
He’s going to a similar colour scheme to the rest of the stuff - black chitin, pale flesh, bone, red/purple accent. Will decide once i get that far whether to do the wings in the same style as the skiff sails or actual go with the ‘void’ blood type effect
Building the next couple of void skiffs.
With a bit of trimming you can turn the void wave piece upside-down to give a bit of variety in the profile - which might come in handy if you are building lots!
That’s quite fun.
Boats and lurker underway - started painting these really as an excuse not to clean up a load of corsair arms, which are really spindly and a bit of a pain!
This is the Mantic Dungeons Adventures ‘dragon’ [only 2 pairs of limbs so its a wyvern IMO!] which is the basis, with a resin head/next piece, of the TK goredrake.
Amazon had it on sale for £8.75, so just too good to pass up.
Will need a bit of a raised base and the plastic wings do need a touch of heat treatment to get it really usable
Found some old dreadball mutant models, which I’ve disassemble. Now slowly trimming the knee pads down and adding loincloth type efforts to add some variety to the Voidtouched.
While I’ve built some of the TK ones as per instructions(!), barring the cloth bits which you can’t switch, everything else will be kitbashed with the above, reaper spares and leftovers from the WGA harvesters.
Completed NS/TK stuff so far.
Have NS Ambush set and extra box of butchers plus a scarecrow regiment to build for them. Going to do butcher horde and number of butcher/ravager regiment for flexibility.
That leaves void lurker, goredrake, fighty mutants, impaler reg and 3 troops of elves to start/finish painting. Will pick up another TK Ambush set to boost the elf/impaler units but will probably leave the armies there to do other stuff.
