Gaslands Tabletop Game - Monster Truck Conversion COMPLETE

Hey gang, I just finished this rig and I've gotta admit, this is the most fun hobbying I think I've ever had! I took what was clearly a little toy Hot Wheels Monster Truck about the size of two space marines standing side by side and turned it into an apocalyptic rig ready for the Deathrace. I did a huge post yesterday with the WIP's from the toy stage through to primer, I've got some finished photos now with a couple more WIP's and the next two cars I'll be working on. And here is how it started out! These were the last two WIPs, I was stoked with how the weathering came out. It was my first time trying the windscreen dusting and though the effect is a little heavy I'm glad I gave it a go and think it matches the chassis, tyres and body dusting. I'm gonna do these two little buggies next to match the Monster Truck and put my first team sponsored by SLIME together. Thanks for checking in guys and I hope you&#

Gaslands Tabletop Game - Hot Wheels Conversion 1 WIP

Hey Dudes, Gaslands, a post-apocalyptic car combat miniatures game where you take Hot Wheels, or Matchbox 1/64 scale toy cars and convert/paint them up for the theme. I heard about it on the Secret Cabal Gaming Podcast and checked out a bit of the action on Instagram and was really blown away by the concept and the review the boys gave the game. I bought the rules and had a read through and I loved the template style movement, the gear sections which are like phases for each round are a really cool system and the combat seems good.  I got this monster truck and maybe 10 cars, I didn't want to go too hardcore on the guns and shit just yet, I also figure a monster truck should probably be about ripping around running shit down and doing jumps so I've gone with extra armour and maybe a few hidden upgrades like nitrous. I'll paint two teams up and get a battlefield terrain setup done so I can try and convince my mates to get into it and see where it goes. As the Se

House Makabius Cerastus Knight Castigator.

Hey Dudes, I don't think I ever chucked up a photo of this bad boy but getting and painting one of the new option heads was a good excuse to get some decent photographs. It's my favourite knight chassis but my least favourite head so I'm really glad they released some options. That's it for a while, we're up to date with what I've done now. I'm gonna set to making a gaming table and some terrain again and will continue to add some units to both the knight force and the Death Guard. <3 Jack

30k Death Guard, A 2.5k Army.

Hey dudes, It's a little cobbled together, I strayed from the theme a bit of infantry and walkers by adding the Typhon but it was a ripper deal I got from my mate so I stripped it down and painted it up with haste. I'm actually going to continue adding 'Centurion' units in the form of more walkers, some Thudd guns and an Assault Squad to up my mobility. I've also got a pair of Whirlwind Scorpius to throw in and continue the theme of a Heavy Support force. It's a good start anyway, I can keep expanding from here and I look forward to doing so. <3 Jack

30k Death Guard, Yo Dawg Yo, A Typhon and... Typhon.

Hey dudes, Today we have #1 Bitch Boy, Calas Typhon and the Super Heavy and newest member of my force, the Typhon Siege Tank. Thanks for checking in! <3 Jack

30k Death Guard, The Dreadnoughts.

Hey dudes, Again with the continuation of my DG army so far I'm showing off the dreadnoughts today. I've shown the Leviathan on the blog before but I've shot him on a dark background with the rest of the new stuff. I've also shown the conversion work I did on the Betrayal at Calth Contemptor to alter the pose and add a bit of flavour to the dreadful sculpt and here is the finished product painted up sporting the Chainfist/Grav and MultiMelta. Thanks for checking in. <3 Jack

30k Death Guard, Space Crusade Era Tarantulas!!

Hey Dudes, Continuing the posts for my DG progress I decided to paint up these Tarantula guns from the Space Crusade Mission Dreadnought expansion, I've done them in a neutral ceramite grey so I can integrate them back into the 3 Factions from the Space Crusade set if I decide to play it. I'm imagining my force has picked them up from a ammammotorium or whatever ridiculous name GW fluffers would come up with. I actually grabbed these out because my gaming groups doing an Escalation league and at 45pts a piece I can sorta fill gaps as required and give myself a little anti-armour. Thanks for checking in! <3 Jack

30k Death Guard, The Wave Of Bodies.

Hey dudes, Still pretty hammered physically but I'm trying to chip away a wee bit at a time to get more stuff done, over the next couple days I'll post a few updated photos of what I've done for the Death Guard now I've hit the 2.5k mark for completed models. Tac Squad 1 Tac Squad 2 2x7 Man Heavy Support Squads with Lascannons Vet Squad with Combi-Plasma and a Heavy Flamer (Hot Marksman/outflank combo) Thanks for checking in! <3 Jack
