I WISH I COULD FLY

 Not me personally, as with my luck I'd crash and burn ! LOL I'm thinking more about flightless birds, and would they rather be soaring in the sky ? I think though that the Great Gnarloc would struggle with it's size getting airborne, so ground based it will stay, so why the thoughts on this, well I've finished sculpting the latest Great Gnarloc, now it's not finished because it needs weapons and crew, but I need to get some more Kroot to sort out that part, hopefully Christmas will help with that.

As you can see above I've utilised a piece from the Kroot Kill Team box with the looted chainsword, but everything else was green stuff over foam core centre, and the base is an old disk that no longer worked.

While I've been doing this I also had another mad idea (strange that ! LOL) this relates to my Night Hawk chapter of the Space Marines, most of the ideas are normally based on the character of the chapter, and this one is no different, as the chapter isn't at full strength I thought that having more than just one apothecary per company would be a good thing as they would be limited on gene seed and need to recover as much as possible. With this in mind I thought each company would need an air ambulance, to get to the dead and injured as quick as possible.

As you can see above I've modified the cockpit and put in foot plates, to make it look more complete. The basic model I started with was the landspeeder Storm, as it already had a space between the control area and engine, and the triple engine setup, I did have to lengthen the mid section to allow for stretchers, which I am in the process of making. I still need another 4 of these, and GW have now stopped selling them, so I guess I'll be scouring Ebay for more. That's all for todays post, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

APOCALYPSE ME 2024 ROUNDUP

 Apologies for the lateness of this post, but I was very selfish and went away for a week, so my wife could get some winter sun, to help her through the winter months. So without further ado here are the fantastic entries we had this year :

justneedsvarnish John did some excellent robots to help take on his alien invasion apocalypse.

azazelx Azazael did a very eclectic mix, from Zombicide to Game of Thrones, and Judge Dredd, and many others which all fit the apocalypse criteria plus scenery and a set of custom cards for one of his zombie games.

And Marouda also submitted these excellent zombies, skeletons and wraiths.

markamorin Mark added a new faction to his wars of Ozz armies.

spacedinosaurminis SD did some excellent Egyptian scenery, with all the plagues they suffered I would count it as an apocalyptic event.

kuribospainting Jeff did some excellent Hellboy models, and if you have ever read any of the comics, or seen any of the movies, every encounter is an apocalyptic event ! LOL

jonhobbydesk Jon got his set of Zombicide finished up which is no small feet with so many models.

For myself as Azazael had asked if I would count Star Wars, as he was asking for a friend ! LOL I got some of the models I got for my Birthday painted up including some conversions.

dagobbosgrotto Andy didn't paint up any models, but did run the next part of his Zombie gaming adventure, including a nod to Bryan Scott (Vampifan) making an appearance in the latest episode, if you haven't read this adventure, it's well worth a read, and if you've got the time, go back to the beginning of it, you won't be disappointed.

That wraps up this challenge for another year, and I like to thank everyone who took part, and to all those that supported each person along the way, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave
