Rictus's All Encompassing Build & Convertingathon.

[deckel]

I love the stormsword conversion! it really looks great. I might steal some ideas off your work for my attempt at a stormblade. any advice on how to make the huge plasma blastgun? i'm particularly confused as to how I'll model the plasma coils, but I'll take any tips i can get.

I would happily pay FW a small fortune for sets of differently posed arms and hands.

Thats why I put my cadians on the back burner. I really hate that both hands are on the lasgun. So yeah I totally empathise with that!

[Rictus]

Some very inspiring work here. I hope your motivation revives! I've been a big fan of your work for a long time.

Cheers

May be worth looking at half round rod to get the coils. Make the basic shape then wrap it round possibly.

Aye, 'tis a bitch.


Been quiet of late. Not gone back to the Militia.

I have however decided to have a go at an Ork vehicle. Quite a large one.

Anyway, you may have noticed I don't really spend much time on Warseer. To be honest I keep forgetting I have a log on here. If it wasn't for the email saying I had a reply to my thread I wouldn't be here now.

Here is a couple of pics of the tank I am working on, i'm not going to post all of them up as the four pic limit would mean it would take an age to do. If you want to see more just follow the link to AB and look me up on there.

And that's why you're the master-modeller. lol... its nice to know that half-round styrene rods exist. thanks! should be a relative breeze now.

It's been a while but I thought for completeness sake I would post a selection of pictures of what I have been building recently.

It is an Ork Storm'amma.

Around 13" long by 9 1/2" wide.

Still a few things to do and a few details were done after these pics were taken.






I'm not going to put anymore up as with the four pic limit I would be here for hours putting up countless posts showing the details and WIP shots.

However if you do want to see them check out my AB Log, here from about page 55 ish I think.

[Rictus]

No replies...how embaressing...

Anyway I decided to sell my two Nurgle Dreadnought/Defilers and then thought I might as well give them a friend to go on ebay at the same time.

Had a Vindi knocking around and came up with this...







As usual loads more pics on the AB log.

It is now on ebay, fingers crossed..., if you are interested the link is in the ebay auction bit on Warseer.

[MrP]

That looks deliciously repugnant, old boy! Is the translucent goop hot glue?

[Krieg Marshall]

That vindi is simply disgusting...Well in the good way, if there is one...Big fan of your work. Do you plan any renegads big mean vehicules?

[Rictus]

MrP: Yup, hot glue gun. Bit tricky but turned out quite well in the end.

Krieg Marshall: Cheers. No big tanks planned for the Militia. Already have the Decimator and Stormsword and two Malcadors in the works which is enough.

Couldn't remember if these have been shown before, the two Nurgle Dreadnoughts:

[kiwichild]

That stormhammer is awesome rictus, but the crotch rot on the dreadnaughts is pricless.
How many hours would you figure you have put into the stormhammer?

[Rictus]

Erm, to be honest I haven't a clue. Enough probably...


I have another Ork Looted Wagon to show, this one is not only a finished build but I actually painted it.

There are many pics but due to the four pic limit per post and my laziness to do multiple posts here are just four shots:






For pre paint pics of the build and many more detail shots have a look HERE

[cthorpe]

Looking good Rictus..

Been following this on AB.. but glad to see you have not abandoned Warseer too..

Continue the great work,

Carl

[IncrediSteve]

Actually MP&T threads on warseer have a 6 picture limit nowadays.

Looking good, thanks for throwing us warseers a wrench every now and again!

[Rictus]

Cheers for the comments.

To be honest I have kept this log long enough but rarely think of it nowadays, only updating when I do. I only update it in case people still remember me around here and wonder why they don't see me anymore.

But I think it is about time I draw a line under it. I really can't be bothered keeping track any longer and the fact the project logs on here have got even more complicated doesn't help, I have just discovered I have been moved into Chaos project logs but whatever.

As such it is goodbye, I won't be updating again. I may post the odd thing in general from time to time however.

If people want to see what I continue to do for both Orks and Chaos Militia as well as terrain visit the all-in-one Project Log on AB.

Cheers for following and posting over the years.

Till later.
