Leftovers

 

"He's right behind me, isn't he?"

Sometimes I start to take some pictures during a battle, but then don't take enough, or many shots are unusably bad, and there isn't enough to do a full post. Every once in a while I will post these orphaned pict captures for your enjoyment.

I win. I touched the crash site first.

Never trust the Ork Parking Valets.

The newly promoted Boss Grot did as well as the previous one.

Happy Aliens Day

 

Happy 4/26 everyone! To celebrate let me show you the final models from GF9's ALIENS: Another Glorious Day in The Corps game. 

Get Away From Her You B***h expansion comes with 5 models and a ton of game components. I will cover the game parts in another post. 

The Queen is a really nice fig with good detail and is easy to assemble and paint. Ripley in the Power Loader, looks great, but was a bit tricky to assemble. You must paint the parts before final assembly or it will be nigh impossible to finish well.

The other three miniatures are: Everyone's favorite non-homicidal android, Bishop! In two versions no less. Well, one version is less, about half-off! (cue drum snare and booing) The third mini is two figs in one, super pissed Ripley holding Newt and combi-weapon in movie poster pose. It really is a cool figure, can't wait to see how badass she is in game.

Post Addendums

 

If only for completeness sake, here are the missing bits from two recent posts. Editing is important kids!

I had also built five more Wolf Guard out of the excellent Assault Intercessors box set. Good poses all around and many weapon choices for the Sergeant. I have been running my Intercessors in five man squads (instead of ten) and having good results that way. 

From the sub-assemblies and Space Wolf posts, just a bit more on the Invader ATV. I found it very useful to spray the main parts Wolf Grey (Army Painter) and the tires and weapons black. This sped up the painting process tremendously. I did similar with the Gladiator. I spray painted the hull and turret Wolf Grey, and the guns and grav-plates black.

Better Flight Stand for the Doomsday Ark

 

The Necron Doomsday Ark is a fun, flying gun platform. On a tiny, fragile flight stand that was designed for models a quarter of its size. Mrs. Blackheart got tired of me complaining about it and set her mind to the problem.

Through the magic of 3D printing, we proudly present you a very stable alternative. 

It does need some sort of glue to stay attached. I used hot glue. Odd choice, I know, but it forms a really solid bond, and fills in gaps very well. Also it will be easy to break it loose with no damage to the model should that ever become necessary. Green Stuff, or gap-filling CA will work just fine as well.

The STL file is available here Please tip the designer if you find it useful. 

It really does make the Doomsday Ark much more fun to use on the table.

The Power of 3D Compels You!
