Virroconus - Hive Guard

Cone Shellfish

The Cone Shellfish - Virroconus - is the 11th most dangerous animal in Australia (apparently) and hunts its pray by shooting a venomous harpoon at them. Not unlike the Impalor Cannon of the Hive Guard.

Here is a picture of Virroconus

And here are some pictures of my completed Hive Guard.

Back From the Dead

So... long time since I last posted. I've done a bit of modeling/painting over the last few years but I'm going to try and get back into it a bit more. Over the next couple of days I'll put up a few different things and then it'll probably slow down a fair bit.

So first thing's first then; here is my table!

Venomthrope Conversion won first Prize!!

Hello again

So my local group had another painting comp and the challenge this time was to convert and paint a model so that it looked like a piece of Games Workshop artwork

So here is the piece of artwork:                                       And my conversion

For those of you that don't know the model comes unassembled/unpainted and looks something like this


Here are some more pictures of the thrope. All comments welcome :D

A genestealer finished!

So I entered this little guy in a local painting competition. I came second in the amateur division, which I was quite proud of (other entries can be seen here: http://eternalwarriors.freeforums.org/january-comp-2012-t253.html)

I was 0.3 points out of 20 behind the lead, so I think I did quite well)

Here's the pic

Battle Report

A friend of mine wrote up a battle report for a game between me and him last saturday. He did a really good job.

My first painted brood!! - Devilgaunts

So here is my first fully painted brood of devilgaunts (termagants with devourers- the guns)
They will be named Notomys after the australian hopping mouse, because honestly, that's what they look like compared to the rest of the army :D

A few more medium sized bugs

Here are a few more medium sized bugs

Unfortunately the Venomthrope I converted (I have decided to rename him Chironex Fleckeri - the box jellyfish) has sprung back into his original shape (damn finecast) and so the conversion would not hold. The metal one I will convert  eventually (hence he has no arms) but I have given up trying to convert finecast :(

 Virroconus - Hive Guard, named after Cone Shellfish, an australian shell fish that fires poisoned, bone spurs at it's prey, oddly appropriate given their appearance and gun :D (I know picture's not great, it'll look better when fully painted (I forgot to take a picture before I undercoated them)
