  • 😂 The only think actually GW in this picture is a miniatures case in the background.

  • That's my excess greenstuff project, he's slowly becoming a giant for my Orc and Goblin army

    Another classic bunker printed off

    I've just finished designing and test printing my take on another of the classic bunkers from 90's white dwarfs.

    As with all my designs this was printed of on an Ender 3 without any supports and is available now on my Cults 3D page.

    https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork

    For anyone that prefers using MyMiniFactory it should be up there in the next few days as well.

  • Thanks, it's quite similar to painting miniatures. I tend to block in the lighter tones and then gradually add shading.

  • Cheers, its great fun and a fantastic opportunity to really pore over some truly fantastic art. I highly recommend it, even if there isn't a tiny person nagging you to do it.

  • Have a look through some of the early 40k rulebooks, there is tons of black and white line art in them as it was much easier and cheaper to print.

    I have done a bunch of colouring in with them when the wee one has told me to colour in space marines whilst they are working away in their colouring books.

    It's fairly easy to find PDFs online, then you just need to crop the images and print them out.

    I finished painting my retro bastion and decided to play 90's White Dwarf

    If anyone is interested in printing this off for themselves it is a supportless FDM print available on my Cults and MMF pages.

  • There is only one way to find out, I hope to see lots of happy little tanks running around soon

    More classic terrain that I'll never get round to painting

    This is a FDM friendly 3D print, available on Cults3D and MyMiniFactory if anyone is interested in making one for themselves

    I had a few requests to design an APC in the style of my battle tank, so I thought I would fulfil those requests.

    For anyone interested this is is a supportless FDM print available on my Cults and MMF pages.

    I'm still waiting for it to clear the MMF QA process, it should be up there in the next couple of days.

  • Thanks, it's for my Genestealer Cult so wanted to do an appropriate scheme.

  • Haha, no those are some Genestealer Cult proxies from Old School Miniatures, they are up on kickstarter just now.

    I decided to redesign the old Gomsmasha, I call it the Jawbreaka!

    I've uploaded it on Cults and MyMiniFactory for free (it may take a couple of days to clear MyMiniFactory's QA process BTW).

  • Cheers, I use the Vallejo's golden olive. It really pops.

    Managed to find the time to finish another three Hybrids this morning

    I'm really happy with the colours

  • Cheers, I think it might be my only vibe when it comes to miniature painting 😂

    Finished off some of my Hybrids

    Hopefully I'll get a few more finished later this week.

  • None of them are.

    The figures in the original post are from a kickstarter coming out later in the year, I don't have anything to do with it myself but I was lucky enough to get a set of the early casts.

    The tank is one of my own designs that I 3D printed, I've uploaded it to Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

    The other fully painted ones I posted in the comments are from a couple of places. The big fell with the sword is from L72 Miniatures https://l72smetalminiaturesmusings.wordpress.com/ and the other two are tech cultists from Checkpoint Miniatures https://www.checkpointminiatures.co.uk/shop/ftw13-tech-cultists-with-leader/

    To add to this I have the patriarch and landspeeder from L72 Miniatures, a bunch more of the tech cultists to use a brood brothers, a magus from Hybrid Miniatures, the land raider proxy I designed and 3D printed and a scratch built limo that I am building from a toy car.

    This was meant to be a dozen figures and a limo for playing skirmish games with because my wife bought me some of the tech cultists, but as these things often do the scope of this project has grown arms and legs. Which is sort of appropriate for a Genestealer Cult I suppose.

  • They're a purestrain proxy from Hybrid Miniatures, I think it's inspired on the original art work for genestealers in the Rogue Trader rulebook. I'm attempting to make the whole army from non GW miniatures.

    They are really nice models, I've got another five of them to paint at some point.

  • Cheers, these were the first ones i finished. So in theory they should look something like this when I am done.

    I attempted to mash together the deodorant stick Grav-Attack Tank and the Rogue Trader era Predator

    If anyone wants to try printing one for themselves I've uploaded it to Cults3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

    Crown of Command Games - Warhammer Battle Report with Dwarfs and Chaos Dwarfs

  • Cheers, there are another five and patriarch to add to this lot

  • Cheers.

    These were the first four that I did for a game of Necromunda at BOYL, So the rest should end up looking like them.

    Time to get back to work on the cult

    Painting my space wizard was a fun little distraction, but genestealers don't paint themselves.

    I've got my infantry base coated so it's time to give them a good wash.

    And I've got a little squat that Chris at Ontos Games gave me at BOYL for when I'm sick of batch painting cultists.

    Finally got my hands on the 2nd ed Tyranid codex

    Having thought I would be chasing this forever due to the fact I didn't want to pay £50-100 for one I managed to grab this for a tenner.

    Even better, when it arrived it appears to be in near mint condition. Oh happy days!

    Just finished up another classic bit of 90's scenery

    I love how 3D printing has let me bring some classic bit of scenery back to life.

    I printed this off on an Ender 3 with no supports. If anyone has a 3D printer and wants on for themselves it's available over on Cults 3D https://cults3d.com/en/users/Doctor-Spork/3d-models

    Finally got my hands on an orginal Ork Battlewagon

    I always wanted one of these, but the prices these days are beyond ridiculous. So when I got the chance to buy this (nearly complete) one for 50 euros I did not hesitate. Can't wait to do some fabrication and bring this pile of scrap back to it's former glory.

    My First White Dwarf With Josh at the Crown of Command Podcast

    Josh was kind enough to invite me on to discuss my first white dwarf, issue 169 with the cardboard battle bunker. So if you have 20 minutes to waste why not give it a watch.

  • I should be up for that, I've really been getting into the swing of things with my painting recently.

    I finally finished off printing my Land Raider Proxies

    Been working away on these pair for a while. After seeing how much it was going to cost to buy an original I decided to make my own. One is inspired by the classic kit, the other by the original scratch built model from the Rogue Trader rule book. Both were printed on my Ender 3 with no supports.

    They are available on my Cults3D page if anyone is interested.

    Finally finished of my Avatar of Khaine

    Now I just need to get better at taking pictures

  • Not a chance, the new one is over twice the height of this fella

  • Another update on the Avatar, been working on a base for him as well.

    It seems I love sculpting massive deformed skulls

    I tidied up and uploaded my chaos predator proxy to cults3d. Like my chaos rhino this is inspired by the old Epicast model.

    My version is designed to be easily printed in FDM and is available for download here https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/retro-evil-knight-battle-tank

  • It's one of the reasons I take so ling to paint anything, there is something like six thin coats of white paint on them all.
