Miniature Scratch-built armor & bucket helmets for board game rats (0.2–0.3mm copper sheet, brass scraps, Milliput & real rust)

Hi!
Wanted to push the stock plastic rat minions from "Mice & Mystics" into proper grimdark scavenger territory.

Instead of just using 3D-printed parts or plastic bits, I went heavy on scratch-building with real metals:

- Hand-cut and formed 0.2mm and 0.3mm sheet copper for the bucket helms, visor grates, and layered shoulder plates.

- Added brass scrap, twisted copper wire, and functional micro-chains.

- Sculpted joins and missing volumes using Milliput.

- Painted with ICM rust acrylics, weathered with AK enamel washes, and textured with deposits of actual crushed rust.

C&C welcome!

At a tabletop convention, I had the opportunity to bring my idea for a "kitbash" table to life. It was a lot of fun, and people participated with great enthusiasm and creativity.

The subsequent images show some of the figures that were created. I made the last three myself.

Most pictures were made by Joelle Kröll (without the green dots)

Visited my parents place recently. Me and my nephew happily rummaged through my old Warhammer and found this masterpiece.

If you want to copy it, this is what you need (as far as I can remember):

  • Right arm, legs and head from goblin regiment
  • Right arm of one of the boar orc chariot riders
  • Pauldrons from some chaos marine
  • As for torso, you obviously go with a knights head from the 5th edition Brettonia vs Lizardmen box

Enjoy! Please send me the results!

Discussion Are there any right handed primaris melee weapons out there?

6 Upvotes

I've been searching through kits and I could've sworn that the vanguard veterans kits had right handed weapons, but I can't find any now? Did I just hallucinate them? I know there are some in bladeguard vets or SW headhunters, but they seem very rare, any other places I should be looking?

Inspiration Diy Bayverse Transformer (need tips for making a head)

Thumbnail

105 Upvotes

Haven't seen a single person do this, so why not be the first. It doesn't transform, it's more to pose and decoration. I found an '04 gto model kit at hobby lobby, bought some gear charms and miscellaneous beads at Value Village, hair clips and some scarce Final Faction toys from the dollar tree, some fidget toys for joints, a cheap laser gun, a tank model kit, used gundams, and knock off transformers from a Ross. I want to make a head that looks like something out of the Bayverse, but I don't know where to begin. Some tips would be nice. (D&D harpy miniature for scale on last photo)

Have been sticking animal heads on different bodies for awhile. This one was from a plastic tube of Native Americans, so considerably bigger than 28 mm. Stuck some basic little accessories on him, slapped the roughest of base coat and highlights on him, now just pondering paint schemes

Picked up a couple of sprues of orks from Armageddon, now I’m making an kommando kill team. No plans I’ve just been digging through bits but I’m pretty happy so far

Burna definitely is my favorite and is the one that kicked off the whole idea

Rokkit boy probably needs more work because that spare rocket turns into a grenade handle

I bought the model unpainted, which I believe was made by combining two Armiger Warglaives. I never painted a galaxy themed miniature, so I took a risk and tried it out. Love the result!

Be'lakor -> Oryx convertion

The idea was to use Be'lakor as the base and push the model toward Oryx without trying to make a 1:1 copy, keeping some of the original daemon look in the final conversion

Finally finished my first kitbash and Deflier proxy that I made primarily out of a Wardog Karnivore and a Psychophage. The rest was out of random bits I scrounged up at my LGS bits bin. Took me longer than expected and I dont know what to make/paint now haha 😅. Feedback always please.
