Alongside Scales this is the most involved kitbash in the project, and perhaps ever. It’s also the one that went through the biggest change midway through. The concept here was …more
Mungo & Beast
Mungo and Beast follow similar formulas. I made Beast first, and liked him so much I decided to do another one along the same lines. They’re both essentially Ash Wastes …more
Shank & Reptile
I’m posting Shank and Reptile together as they were probably the simplest and quickest models to build. Shank is a beastman. I’m not totally happy with the model, mainly as …more
Scales – Classic Scaly Homage
I had originally intended to include a mutant feral Ogryn in my warband but this model was one of the “false starts” I mentioned in the previous post. At some …more
Quasi & Modo – Hunchback Muties
Throughout this project there have been a lot of false starts – models put together that for some reason just didn’t work. Some looked to my eye like a cheap …more
Baharroth, The Cry of the Wind
Approaching the finish line with this project (“this project” being the full Phoenix Court of Khaine with largely modernised converted Phoenix Lords). Baharroth is the 4th Phoenix Lord I’ve converted …more
Inquisitor Hybris Khronos
2022 has been a very slow year, modelling wise – obviously so when you consider that the last post (at the time of writing) was in February and that was …more
Part 2: Track & Ballast
We laid the track out again for testing, as this would be the first opportunity to see how the track and engines performed on the contoured baseboard. I screwed it …more
Part 1: Baseboard Construction
This journey started at RMWeb. Being somebody with zero experience in model railways I needed to seek out the experts and my research quickly showed me that the forums there …more
Converted Trike
The starting point for this trike was the bike that comes on the Implements of Carnage (1st gen) frame from North Star. It’s a fine sculpt and cast but has …more
War Bastard (Heavy Truck)
This truck started as a thought experiment: You see, in Gaslands, weapons can be front, rear, side or turret mounted, with the side mounted weapon being able to shoot to …more
Kitbashed/Scratch Eldar Autarch
This Autarch dates from April 2013, so I think it will probably take the trophy for the longest time between being started and finished at a hefty 8 years (oddly, …more
Gaslands Monster Truck
After the Porsche 911 from Deathrace this is my next well documented Gaslands build, though the 5th vehicle I’ve actually completed. I actually started this monster truck slightly before the …more
Start as you mean to go on…
This year I’m re-joining Yaktribe’s “Finish Your Stuff Challenge”. It started this month, presumably giving all the contestants a breather from the end of 2020’s challenge, which I didn’t take …more
Part 7: Painting
I’ve continued my March painting spree (hey, it’s a spree by my standards) by finally finishing the Squat Miner in Exo Armour. This is another laughably delayed finish, having first …more
Painted Coach
This month I’ve basically finished a monumental reorganisation and tidy up of the man cave. As part of this, I’ve rediscovered quite the haul of old models and projects, and …more
Death Race Gates – Part 1
I started my gates at the beginning of 2020 by building the basic structures out of some laser cut MDF girders I had picked up years ago, intended for Necromunda …more
Tutorial: Concrete Jersey Barriers
2020 was probably one of my worst years in terms of hobby productivity. I had a good first three months of the year, but once lockdown hit I lost all …more
Porsche 911 from Death Race
This is a long post with tonnes of photos, documenting my attempt to turn a bog standard Hot Wheels 911 to the most accurate replica of the 911 that 14k …more
Slide to Victory!
I rarely write about tactics, not least because I’m not terribly good at most of the games I play. About the only times I do are when there are some …more
Tutorial: Arena of Death Turrets
Along with “Death Race” and “Saturday Night Live”, I would say that “Arena of Death” is one of the three quintessential original Gaslands scenarios. In it, players engage each other …more
Speed Painted Stormlord
In January I vowed to finish Father Cain & Constance Palamedes. Towards the end of the month I also decided to speed paint a super heavy tank (I’m titling it …more
Crusader & Drill Abbot
Constance Palamedes, Crusader For the longest time I’ve been starting Crusader kit bashes and then abandoning them half built. This one was a breakthrough, using a Stormcast Sequitor as a …more
Painted Boyz
I made a push to finally get the majority of Gorfragg’s Gitflinga’s painted. There’s still the troll, coaching staff and probably a couple of goblins to go, but it’s nice …more
2020 Goals
There was no monthly challenge on Yaktribe for December. Each month the community voted on their favourite entries, and totalling up those votes across the 2nd half of the year …more
