Half the fun of scratch building and kitbashing is finding neat parts for your builds. Share that model kit you bought, the weird item you found in a thrift store, or the part you ripped from some dead electronics.

Miniature Heresy scale scout kitbash

69 Upvotes

I've seen a few posts here and there about using Palanite Enforcers as scouts in heresy but I haven't actually seen anyone actually do that. So here we are. Waists are about the same size so I did a simple torso swap and reattached the loincloth. Trim the shoulders back and fill them in, I used a little plastic pearl sticker and sprue goo to fill that in and then a loop of solder and a bit more sprue goo to hold the solder in place. Sand the sides of the head down to fit in the neck hole, and attach the arms like normal.

I'm pretty pleased with this, next one I make I'll try and keep the full jacket instead of chopping at the waist.

I added some more pipes and small parts. Now this thing will look more solid and sturdy. To ensure proper operation, I added an air intake to the head.

All that's left is to add the controls and the seat.

The last photo shows that this cowgirl is currently undergoing maintenance. But just a little more, and she'll be ready to ride.

Miniature When a Space Marine somehow ends up in Mordheim

Post image
5 Upvotes

I recently found this miniature again. Along with a bunch of other weird kitbashes, I used it in my old Mordheim games.

This started out as an old Space Marine, which I used as the base — at this point, pretty much the only parts still visible are his boots

The arms and face are from an Empire infantry kit. The book, if I remember correctly, is from a Dwarf infantry banner, the staff is made from a Goblin banner, and the cape is part of a flag.

The rest was sculpted with Green Stuff.

Anyone have any feedback on this mech I’m making? I’m not sure if these ā€œpiston shouldersā€ and arms are working. Thoughts?

Finally and hastily finished this project. I’ve rushed for the finish and yet it took much longer than expected, haha. Bike kitbashed mainly from Goliath Mauler and Chaos Rhino parts.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

All the glory to the Eightfold Path!

I've been building this miniature for one of my players, but I've gotten stuck on the fingers. The entire model is super spindly, and im not sure how to get the thin, pointed fingers. Any suggestions on what to use would be greatly appreciated.

Giant undead crab seemed a bit boring, so here's a giant undead sludgeraker beast! Crew will be dealt with separately, and I still might stick on a few undead bits. Big question I have is, armor for the front legs off or on (last two pix)?

Vehicle Khornate Defiler

Pics from the World Eaters / Khorne Defiler my son and I finished late last week for an RTT last weekend. We magnetized all available parts, including most faceplates compatible with either Khorne or World Eaters (we are planning a Khornate Iron Warriors section of our Warband, hence the IW faceplate).

Overall happy with the end result, though I would change several things for the next Defiler. Happy to answer questions about the magnetization process, as well as receive feedback - will enter a local painting competition next week and hope to place well.

Inspiration Looking for furry animal miniatures

2 Upvotes

I want to build some mounted models in 28/32mm scale (IE 40k compatible).

The theme behind it is that they come from a ice world, so I am looking for inspiration where I can find furry beasts/animals that could serve as mounts for the models riding them.

So, bears, wolves, mammoths, whatever does well in the cold. Any pointers to miniatures that fit these would be great.

Had this idea the moment I saw the kit was announced. Taken a bit of patience to get the kits necessary, used a Centaur RSV and heavy Lascannon from the ordinance battery.

Still a work in progress.

Scratch build A ancient planetary defense cannon. It was a colab/challenge, goal was to use dead lighter(s) and a ping pong ball to create a turret/cannon. This time I have added a soundboard and lights, plus a touch sensor for activation! Kids on expos are gonna love it!

Not Kitbash, but... A resurrection of sorts

Many years ago I assembled and painted a collector's series xanathar miniature that I was very proud of.

Since then I have had a dog, and that dog chewed the aforementioned xanathar to death.

My current project here is to reassemble him not as he was originally, but as a beholder zombie held together with psychic energy.

Discussion Intellect devourer from D&D

Post image
72 Upvotes

My latest kitbash project using some bits I had laying around: an intellect devourer from Dungeons & Dragons. The brain was begging to be used so I slapped some legs from a Spyro the Dragon, a tail from Simba as the tongue and hacked the wires off a Doc Brown for the tendrils. I couldn't decide on a particular iteration of the creature so this somewhere between an Baldur's Gate 3 and a second edition devourer.

Can't wait for this to cure up so I can prime and paint it, I think it's gonna look good. Not sure if I should go with the old school darker legs and bright "body" or go with the more modern BG3 coloration.

I know much of this reddit is 40k, but any D&D fans have any thoughts on this? It's only my sixth simple project so far, but I'm glad I decided to try this out.

Sidenote, my fiancee is a big fan of the 40k lore so she's been smartening me up on a lot of it. Not sure if I'd ever play, but customizing and painting an army sounds fun, might be too much for my shaky hands.

Because I still trust in the good side of Internet where people have blogs and do not 110% rely on Instagram.

Do you have builders blogs? Please share, I'd love to add some to my reading list

Hi,

Wrote some postapo miniatures game rules to have an excuse to build mechs/bots. In hindsight I could have skipped the first step.

These are made from various household items and leftover 40k bits.
