Exodite Dire Avengers

Making slow progress on my Eldar war host, what with the distractions in my house of step-daughter, her dog. Here are some pictures of the progress I'm making.

They're comprised of Fantasy Warhammer High Elf heads and Dark Elf pirate legs with Dire Avenger Torsos and arms. 

Unfortunately these guys has a bit of an issue with the spray paint I used to base coat them and it got some dust in it or reacted weirdly with the plastic.

At least I'll be able to tell the two units apart easily. This kind of creativity Ill miss once GW drives all the bitz sellers out of business.

Pathfinder ship


My Pathfinder campaign is one of steampunky, piratey goodness. My group just got their first big ship and so my wife and I made this for the campaign.

I found the PDFs for these ships on Drive-Thru RPG from Zero-Hour.

Printed them out and glued them to foam-core and my wife cut them out.

So now we have appropriate deck plans for fights.

I'll post a link to the pdfs below through the Paizo website. There are 3 ships/boats total in the document a dingy, a 50ft small ship and this bad boy.  The gun deck as an optional overlay.

Warwalkers done, plus magnetic set up explained.

After a myriad of touch ups and finishing up the bases, they were dull coated and the canopies were put on late last night. And here they are.

Morning Patrol.

Notice each is set up with twins of the same weapons.

All of the weapons I've magnetized are polarized so that the left gun will always work on the left side of a turret or weapons mount.

But I realized that with the war walkers that would mean I their weapons would be on opposite mounts or I would have to mix and match weapons pairs and that's not efficent.

So I reversed the polarity of the second war walker's magnets. That way when you pull of the rihjt handed weapon on one it mounts on the left of the other.

Thus the pairings match.

If I ever get the third one I'll set it up as the regular polarity since I wuld need to use another set (or sets) of weapons to match the configuration anyway.

The thick overgrowth slows even these large, graceful machines.




Stay tuned, Exodite Dire Avengers and Screaming Banshees are on their way.

Warwalkers are close to done.

Making good progress on the 2 warwalkers I've got. Finished painting and put a couple of decals on. Just need to wait for the Mirco-Sol to do it's work and then I can flatcoat them tomorrow. I'll do a little photo explaination of the way I magnetized these so that the if they are carrying different weapons they will carry them identically.






I just wish I got around to getting that 3rd one.
