RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATE! Mortis Engine Done!

I love it (though I am biased to anything with a maritime theme). I like quite a few of Fenryll's models but have been putting off getting them due to finances. You have convinced me to add a bunch to my growing army. Really great work thinking outside the box :thumbsup:
 
RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATE! Mortis Engine Done!

thanks for the compliments, guys. I really apreciate it.:redface:

sorry for not responding, but its been hectic becoming a parent.
hence most activity(here and paintdesk) will come to a stall until we're settled in our new roles/life. Hopefully I'll get around it again around xmas or so.

The engine tied first place in the challange,together with Santa. sweet!!! not too bad, considering the opposition. All looked amazing.
also, I will like to point out, once again that the idea of a charon as a chariotbased(me,corpsecart,black coach) model came from santawraith. I 'only' choose the parts and built/painted it

I will need to find another boat for my 2nd ME, layout will be basically the same, but it needs to be bigger, so i can use it in competitiveplay('modelling for advantage' is something i DONT wanna hear)
i model for coolnes;)

next project is a 'cheapaschips' terrorgheist. using the spare parts from the Zdragon and bitsbox. we'll se how it goes and if it gets finished in time to enter the challange, though i'm doubtful about that.
rant over, peace!

hoard o bits having a discount streak, as well as free shipping, so I went and ordered 6 thunderwolves and 2 alternative 'will be wights', among some. an easy headswap seems like all they need. might even work as vamps.
anyways, here's krass and benedikt, evil warriors:

That Mortis Engine looks very cool! I really like your pumpkin faced Spirit Host dude as well. Keep up the good work!

Lovely work, Melle. Love your wolfies and most of your dark elves! And yes, yes I did forget to look at this thread and comment before :tongue: It was on my to-do-list!
 
RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATE! shopping list

Thanks for comments guys:)

So, time for a small update, I would think. ..
Time for for hobby is scarce at the moment, so I decided to have a bunch of zombies laid out on commision.
60 ish zeds built and reassembled the last 24 hours.along with some fillers and 2 rising-zombiegiant units of 20.
Tomorrow i will base them all and ship them for painting:D



Slight chaos

Floors are getting fixxed be4 junior starts to crawl, family is of with her parents and i watch the house, building zeds. :D

When basing is done, I start on Chaos Dwarfs....xD
 
RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATE! shopping list

Really like the basing on the house, realistic tones.

Where is that mounted vampire model from? :O
 
RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATED! zombie building

The mortis engine is inspired.. I may have to steal it for my own army. I didn't get on with the standard version as it does not fit the overall feel..

Are you going with a drowned look for the zombies or just standard decay?

MD
 
RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATED! zombie building

i wont paint the zombies myself, ive arranged for someone to paint them for me as commision.
im guessing standard decay, only the mortis engine is themed on water. rest is wolfish, or will be.

please steal away, I'd be honored to have inspired. and if you find the model, please drop me a line. it seems discontinued :(
 
RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATED! zombie building

Omg, 2 updates in 2 days....xD

So., basing on zombies are done. Will prime at work tonight.
11 chaos dwarf iron sworn built from the pld chaos warriors. Known as the 'hunchbacks'
I did a testmodel last week, and then i found a tutorial. So i followed thar instead, more or less.
Knees and elbows cut of, reattch and then shorten weapon.
All heads will be horned.

Beards come later, when i figured out how...
They ranked up very bad on 20mm so I will leave empty bases between, chequered. Meaningi have now a unit of22 ironsworn;)

Enjoy:

RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATED! CHAOS DWARF

RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATED! CHAOS DWARF

RE: Getting back into it! Melle's Plog - UPDATED! CHAOS DWARF

Thanks for comments guys :)

So my counts as K'daai destroyer arrived yesterday.
Its a mcfarlane Aries, warrior of the zodiac. Ive seen the taurus used as k'daai, but i think this looks cooler.
Also the cancer would make a fine, cheap as chips slaughterbrute.
and gemini could be a decent mutalith vortex beast.

here's my kdaii, straight of the box. not sure if i'll use his weapon or not.

The idea of old warriors as dwarfs came from a chat with j-c where he suggested it. I was desperately looking for a use of my 100+ uglyass warriors. ..
