Custom VW Beetle for the Apocalypse - Gaslands Conversion 2

Hey dudes,

I converted and painted this next car in the same theme as the Monster Truck I did (the beginnings of a team?), it's for the post-apocalyptic miniatures game, Gaslands, which uses base Hot Wheels or Matchbox 1/64 cars that are up to you to customise.

I did a fair bit with this car and am quite happy with how uniform it looks as a finished product. I cut the stock car apart and ground out the rear engine cover section (see the standard car photo below), I then made up a custom back end and fit the engine of another Hot Wheels kit to the back of it. I did a bunch of custom plasticard work including extra armour, a roll cage and the bit I love the most, a sprint car style wing.

I added a few other little touches of mesh and what not before priming the whole thing and getting the paint work underway. 

The Hot Rod that's also photographed primed is up on the bench next as well as a 'War Rig' and a few cars for the next team. 

Loving this, it's a nice little break from the normal stuff and my wallet loves it too! It's pretty much the only mini war gaming I can still afford to do at the moment being that I can't work until I have and recover from the spinal surgery.










Thanks for checking in,

Mors Miles - The Death Knight - Legio Vulpa Maniple 13.

Next up, the Princeps Senoris of my favourite maniple style in the game, the Ferrox! Princeps Senoris Agdex is a lead from the front type homie. He has a flair for destruction and more often than not, his Assault Reaver Titan - Mors Miles isn't spared from copping it either. I play Mors Miles and it's matching counterpart Atro Messorum quite aggressively, often pushing the two up together then rotating the lead titan so they can share the damage taken before dishing it back out within the Melta half range. In the most recent event, Mors Miles was detonated in 2/5 games due to this play style but it created opportunities to take the objectives or for other Titans in the battlegroup to get the kill shots while also claiming quite a few engine kills of his own.

Acastus Knight Porphyrion COMPLETED!!!!!

Acacstus Knight Porhpyrion, easily the biggest and most complex kit build and paint job I have ever done for a gaming miniature. I'm really happy with the result but the 60 hrs I spent on getting it finished kinda baked my noodle. I have no idea how the titan painters get through it! Anyway here are some studio shots, let me know what you think!
